Reflection Post

I have really enjoyed creating this blog.  It has opened my eyes to a new form of communication.  I am in school currently to become a middle or high school teacher.  I believe blogging is a great way to connect with my students.  It is an alternative form of communication that I plan to utilize in my classroom.  I am thankful that we were able to select our own topic. Fantasy football is one of my great loves and made this assignment enjoyable and one I plan to continue even after it is submitted.

Week 9

Week 9 Fantasy Football Report
What would Tommy do?     
 Recommend waiver wire additions: Very busy on week 9 because many fantasy studs are on a bye week.  If you have Peyton Manning one player to consider is Terrell Pryer (QB of the Raiders).  He is still available in 55% of the leagues.


  Injury watch list: Be aware RB Arain Foster is listed as questionable - the head coach anticipates making a late week decision on his availability.

No excuses in Fantasy


Fantasy Football Rules


As we enter week 8 of the 2013 Fantasy Football season, your team may not be what you had hoped.  You may try to make changes and find that recently dropped players and last minute picks are scooped up before you even have a chance to log in but remember these rules of fantasy........

Week 8

Week 8 Fantasy Football Report
What would Tommy do?     
 Recommend waiver wire additions: Zac Stacy is on our radar with starting QB Sam Bradford going down for the rams. The RB should get a healthy dose of carries.

Week 7

Week 7 Fantasy Football Report


What would Tommy do?

My personal favorite fantasy website 


Week 6

Week 6 Fantasy Football Report

What would Tommy do?     
·         
     Recommend waiver wire additions: After Cleveland Brown traded RB Trent Richardson to the Colts they signed an older free agent journeyman Willis McGhee who finally figures to get the bulk of the carries.
                                         
·       Injury watch list: Keep an eye on a few key Fantasy players who all play for the Buffalo Bills. RB C.J. Spiller is listed as questionable, Also QB EJ Manuel is doubtful and WR Stevie Johnson who did not practice all week and is also listed as questionable.

Week 5 Fantasy Football Report

Jacksonville’s WR Justin Blackman is coming off his 4 game suspension and figures to be a big part of Jacksonville’s passing game.  He was not drafted in many leagues due to his suspension

                  his ankle injury suffered 2 weeks ago.

Response to Blogging Between the Lines/ Week 3

After reading Hull's article, I have a better understanding of blogging such as its purpose and intent.  Before this class I had never posted anything on a blog.  I am now more familiar with the expectations of a blog and its purpose.  I really got a lot from the blogging tips shared by the Dallas Morning News.  The blog I am going to create will focus on fantasy football tips.  I'm really looking forward to keeping it up with the blog. So what would Tommy do.............


Week 3 Fantasy Football Report
What would Tommy do?     
·         Recommend waiver wire additions:
1.       Eddie Royal (WR San Diego)
In the first two weeks, he is averaging over 20 points per week and is owned in only 73% of FF leagues
2.       James Starks (RB Green bay)
With starting RB Eddie Lacey sidelined indefinitely with a concussion, Coach McCarthy confirmed Starks will get the starting opportunity.  Last week, once Starks entered the game he had 130 yards rushing and a TD.
·      Injury watch list:
Rob Gronkowski is listed as questionable for his return to the NFL this weekend.  And with Patriots passing game struggling he is sure to make an immediate impact upon his return.
