Mid-Season Most Valuable Players
If you know anything about fantasy sports and/or if you took a look at my strategy advice, then you know something about value-based drafting or value-based strategies for filling your roster. The idea is fairly simple, and to grasp the idea, you have to start with the basic fundamental of this very simple concept: Winning…

All Fantasy Teams after Matchup #3
In a VERY short three-day matchup, the all fantasy teams have a slightly different look. Daniels picked up enough points to find themselves on the 1st Team roster, and Michelle Yeoh surged from not being listed to being a 1st Teamer. Martin McDonagh, Glass Onion, RRR, and Dylan Cole & Ben Procter make their first…

Waiver Wire Rankings – Matchup #4
After a very short, but WILD, Matchup #3, we’re already prepping for Matchup #4. Reminder that waivers are due at 6:00 pm EST and will be processed shortly thereafter. As always, there could be more valuable waivers on your specific league’s waiver wire, so check that first. And for even more waiver wire advice, consult…

DC and Las Vegas Critics Nominations Reaction
My hometown critics group announced their nominations, and as always they are solid nominations. They also are very conscientious of making sure the actual technical directors are named in their nominations, not just saying a film for, say, Best Production Design. More organizations should follow suit. Also a matter of housekeeping, we’re getting really into…

All Fantasy Teams after Matchup #2
Matchup #1 is still exerting its influence over the All-Fantasy Teams, but we have some new inclusions into the All-Fantasy Teams as more mainstream awards were announced. If you’re the owner of any of these, you’re probably doing pretty good. All Fantasy 1st Team Position Player Points PIC Everything Everywhere All at Once, PIC 31…

Waiver Wire Rankings – Matchup #3
Matchup #2 was a DOOZY! We got Top 10 lists from AFI, NBR, and AAFCA. We also saw early round draft picks earn their first points of the season. But that’s all in the past. Instead, let’s look to the future and see if there is value on the waiver wire ahead of Matchup #3.…

AFI Top Ten Reaction
The American Film Institute’s (AFI) Top Ten award is easily one of my favorite announcements of the film awards season. For one thing, it’s a very important precursor for the Oscars, but it also gives teams an idea for a waiver wire pickup to replace that inevitable PIC bust that happens each year. Likely all…

National Board of Review Reaction (feat. AAFCA Top 10 and HCA Creative)
The oft anticipated National Board of Review capped off a busy day of awards nominations and winners announcement (i.e. fantasy points.) Did we gain some clarity on important races? Probably not, but we can dream, can we? Let’s get into it. RRR is having a moment Do you think the committee who picked India’s official…

Satellite Award and DiscussingFilm Nominations Reaction
We had two big nomination announcements, leading to a whole bunch of points: the DiscussingFilm Critics Nominations and the International Press Academy Satellite Awards Nominations, the latter earning two points for each of its nominees. We saw a lot of draft picks earn their first points of the season at least one of these, including…

Atlanta Film Critics Circle Winners Reaction
The Atlanta Film Critics Circle announced their winners, and in a atypical fashion, they announced nominations in only two categories honoring breakthrough performance and breakthrough directing. Charlotte Wells continued her dominance of the breakthrough directing (also earning SIX points from BIFA, which does not have one of my reaction posts) while Austin Butler got the…
