Top Scoring Players on Fantasy Football (Week 14)
Week 15 is underway, and before I do talk about Week 14's top fantasy players, I have to mention this. The game between the Rams and Niners. The low scoring game. That low score came at a bad time for fantasy owners, because in standard leagues, Week 15 ends the regular season. That means some people were looking to get in to the playoffs. In some custom leagues, the playoffs start in Week 15, and that game was damaging. How damaging? Cooper Kupp on TNF: three targets, no catches. A big fat ZERO on Fantasy on Thursday. And yes, I had him in my starting lineup in my Quarterfinal matchup.

De'Vondre Campbell's Impact on the 49ers: A Defensive Dynamo in the Rivalry Against the Rams
n the realm of NFL showdowns, few rivalries stand as fierce and storied as the clash between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams. As these titans prepare for another electrifying face-off, one name that echoes prominently in discussions of the 49ers’ defensive prowess is De'Vondre Campbell. A cornerstone of the 49ers' defensive unit, Campbell’s presence on the field transcends mere statistics. His leadership, versatility, tackling acumen, and pass-rushing ability have cemented him as an invaluable asset in the 49ers' arsenal.

Wide Open Invitation (Week 15)
We are now down to the final four weeks of the regular season; not at the holidays yet, but we are very close. We are actually one week away from having Saturday NFL games, and I've always loved Saturday football--especially with flex scheduling involved. I know this much: there are no more byes for the rest of the regular season. For the final four weeks, all 32 teams play, with most of them actually playing for something. It's gut check time for sure. The numbers are thinning out quickly, and teams need to get wins now, or face a nuclear winter.

NFL Week 14 Recap: 86 Points
Holy moley, what a shootout in the OK Corral! You know, the Los Angeles Rams seem to be magnets for offense-filled shootouts. I still remember that game against the Chiefs from a few years ago that saw over 100 points scored. This one wasn't 100 points, but it had a lot of scoring. It had the Rams leading big, but the Bills managed to scratch and claw their way into a possible comeback, but the Rams managed to score late to make it a nine point game--the lowest possible two-possession lead. The Bills got in, but the onside kick came up short for them. The Rams ran down the clock and got the huge win, the biggest win of the season.

What Went Wrong: Grounded
Normally, my "What Went Wrong" stories are reserved for hockey and baseball (and basketball if I wanted to), because those sports have a playoff series format. Football doesn't. The only time I could do a "What Went Wrong" about a football elimination is at some point during the regular season or after it, and even then, I can't mention all of them. 18 out of 32 teams miss the playoffs every year, and to make an eliminated NFL eam the subject of "What Went Wrong," it has to be monumental.

Somers Means Business in Comeback Win Over Harrison
Please see tip, pledge and subscribe buttons Click for all fall slideshows Click for Sideline Shots On Friday November 8, Somers suited up for the semifinals against Harrison, and an 11th straight victory seemed pretty straight forward. But a few mistakes, and Harrison playing tough on both sides of the ball, a serious curve was thrown into the Tuskers' night. Down 6-0 to start the fourth quarter and facing a 4th and 17 from the Harrison 25, the Tuskers simply stayed on point.

Clash of the NFC North Titans
From the very second after the Week 9 match ended, I had this date circled on my mental calendar. A chance to make up for that 24-14 loss at Lambeau Field. The Green Bay Packers went to Ford Field to face off against the Detroit Lions, and for us, this was a huge chance to make some noise in the NFC North race--a race that was supposed to be between these two teams, only for the Minnesota Vikings to decide to show out this season.

Top Scoring Players on Fantasy Football (Week 13)
When it comes to Fantasy Football, we are very close to the end here. Week 14 is about to start, and in some leagues, Week 14 is actually the last week of the season before playoffs, as some leagues have three playoff rounds--but no more than that. So yeah, because of that, Week 13, which came and went, was definitely crunch time for those looking to get in, or for anyone looking to hang on to a top spot in leagues that allow playoff byes.

A Million Ways to Get in the Playoffs (Week 14)
We are now down to the final five weeks of the NFL season, which has fully entered the month of December. I do love December as a sports fan, because the NFL's week-by-week schedule makes the home stretch very interesting and captivating. Plus, the holidays (Christmas and New Year's) basically mean the end of the regular season; once upon a time, the NFL crowned champions during the holidays. Week 13 saw two teams clinch spots, while the first four eliminations were handed out, but there's still a lot to decipher as the month of December begins to progress.
