Sideline Scholars

A little late, but late is better than never, right? Right?.. alright, I promise it won’t happen again.

We’ve seen our views drop a little bit this past week, hoping to bring them back up. We’re still looking at our e-mail and Twitter’s frequently for all of you fantasy questions or just questions in general so be sure to keep them coming by sending e-mails to and Twitter at not only @sidelinescholar but also @pat_the_scholar and @JerryTheScholar any time and any day.

Hockey:

Basketball:

Nothing to update, again. Looks like the players will be de-certifying. Probably no season and therefore no updates.

So we’ve had a very exciting week this past week. Twice we’ve set our daily view record (currently at 188!) and three times have gone over the 100 views, including today. We keep trying to get new material up for all to read daily and have our updated Power Rankings, weekly fantasy rankings and our weekly picks for football. With games starting this Thursday, we’ll have all these up no later than Thursday afternoon. We’ve also set up our fantasy e-mail address — [email protected] — so you can ask any fantasy questions at any time and we’ll answer as soon as we can!

So let’s see what you may have missed.

Football:

As mentioned, here is our week 9 Power Rankings, Fantasy Rankings, and Weekly Picks.
Why you should have started Eli Manning this past week.
Who were some good flex position starts for WRs? Some names for last week and in the future.

Why you should temper your expectations on Joe Flacco, at least for now.

Baseball:

Would it be smart for the Giants to move Tim Lincecum?

Is David Wright really worth the price the Mets could ask for?

Hockey:

What’s going on with the Toronto Maple Leafs?

Basketball:

Don’t really expect much here for awhile until there are some bigger updates/different news.
