The Bad Guy is back just in time to help you with your playoff push. There were a bunch of starting RBs that were hurt in Week 10 and RB injuries = waiver wire replacements. If any of the guys below are still available in your leagues, stop reading and grab them immediately!

Justin Forsett RB [...]

The Bad Guy is here with his Bench/Start for Week 6. There are a ton of good match ups this week, but here are a few guys that might still be flying under the radar but are absolutely must starts/must sits this week.
 
BENCH
 
Willis McGahee RB Ravens – After more or less falling off the fantasy radar, McGahee got off to a [...]

Here are The Bad Guy’s starts of the week for Week 5. All of these guys make for great bye week replacements and should also be considered top 15 options at RB. Don’t be afraid to get them in your lineups over some bigger name guys.
 
Rashard Mendenhall RB Steelers – With starting RB Willie Parker [...]

After my heavily anticipated return to NQTC,  The Bad Guy picked up right where I left off in 2008, making amazing call after amazing call. To recap – BENCH:  LJ was a dud, JLew was decent but didn’t find the end zone. START: Cedric Benson was awesome, Reggie Bush would have been great if he didn’t have a [...]

I’m sure my many thousands of fans are thrilled to see that The Bad Guy himself has returned to NQTC just in time for the 2009 fantasy football season. First game is on Thursday so without further ado, here is the first Bench/Start of the year…
 
BENCH
Larry Johnson RB Chiefs -It’s amazing how someone’s value can plummet in such a short time, [...]

Normally I don’t support or link to Cardinals blogs, but this expose on the east coast media bias was too good to pass up..  I have been saying it for years, and even though this isn’t the hugest example, it is a pretty concrete and obvious one.

For my 2008 NQTC Fantasy Football finale, The Bad Guy is leaving you with a few balls to the wall suggestions for what is most likely your championship week. If anyone has any feedback or questions, feel free to contact me at nkupchan@stats.com. It’s been fun, and hopefully I’ll be back for baseball.

RB Tim Hightower (Cardinals) – Since taking over the starting RB position from Edgerrin James back in Week 9, Hightower has rushed for 100 yards only once, and has overall been pretty disappointing. He has been averaging only 2.1 yards per carry over his last five games, three of which have come against SF, SEA, [...]

I would like to introduce you all to a special friend of mine, Mr. Jordan Berger (right). Like many others out there, he is suffering from poor playoff match ups in Week 14, and could soon find himself in the consolation round of his fantasy playoff bracket. I wanted to dedicate this article to those [...]

From the desk of The Bad Guy:
BENCH

WR Dwayne Bowe (Chiefs) – CB Nnamdi Asomugha could very well be the best cover corner in the NFL, as he seems to shut down the opposing team’s #1 WR every week. This is really bad news for Bowe, as Asomugha will most likely be all over him for [...]

So your team is out of the hunt in your fantasy football league. It happens. It has happened to me…once. One of my first crappy posts on this blog involved giving some tips for your fantasy draft. If you followed my advice your draft was probably the same as every other [...]

BENCH
WR Calvin Johnson (Lions) – Johnson has been one of the NFL’s best WR so far in 2008, but faces a tough match up against Tampa Bay this week, and there’s a good chance that he wont be a 100% come Sunday. Megatron injured his quad in last week’s game against Carolina, and is expected [...]

BENCH
QB Brett Favre (Jets) – The Bad Guy is once again going to suggest keeping #4 on your bench this week when the Jets travel to New England to take on the Patriots. The future hall of famer had a decent game against the Rams in Week 10, but Favre faces a much tougher opponent [...]

BENCH

QB Brett Favre (Jets) – Matt Millen’s new best friend has been flat out awful the past three weeks, throwing a combined seven interceptions (and only three TD passes) against the Bengals, Raiders, and Chiefs in weeks 6, 7, and 8. After struggling against some of the NFL’s worst pass defenses, Favre and the Jets [...]

The Bad Guy (formerly Waiver Wire Master) is a fantasy sports expert and will be writing a column once a week (Wednesdays or Thursdays) with whatever expertise he feels like giving us. Feel free to rip his garbage picks or praise his good calls. Last week things went a little better, let’s see what he’s [...]
