Fantasy Index Blackout: Week 2 Lineup

So far, so good. I came in 37th out of over 400 entries in Week 1, pretty close to what my age was a decade or so ago. Now it's time to really turn up the screws and make a move into the top 20. Here's what I'll be going with this week.   more »

Andy Richardson: Fantasy Index Blackout Picks

I'm hanging on just outside the top 10 in this thing, but just one bad week can ruin a season. Look at the Steelers and Saints last week. So it's important to take each pick and each lineup spot seriously.   more »

Andy Richardson: Fantasy Index Blackout Picks

Read it and weep, people, I finished 10th in this thing last week. It's ironic, since I had about my worst-ever actual fantasy week, a tragicomedy of facing Sammy Watkins, Marquise Brown and the Titans Defense, or benching Carson Wentz last minute in my various leagues. I know, no one cares.   more »

Andy Richardson: Fantasy Index Blackout's Back, All Right!

It's a new season of the NFL, and a new season of our Fantasy Index Blackout competition. Each week you pick your best starting lineup (minus some blacked out stars -- don't expect to ever use Saquon Barkley or Patrick Mahomes), and see how they do.   more »

Andy Richardson: Fantasy Index Blackout Week 17

Last chance to move up into the top 20 in this thing. I think I only need to score about 250 points while the top teams forget to submit a lineup or load up on Saints and Cowboys and take zeroes when those guys don't play. It could happen.   more »

Andy Richardson: Fantasy Index Blackout Week 12

There were some good teams and players plying their trade on Thanksgiving, so with some of these picks, you can already see if I made good choices, or bad ones. (Personally, it was about the only bad week all season to have Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara while facing Drew Brees.) Of those left to play, well, we can hope.   more »

Andy Richardson: Fantasy Index Blackout Week 11

Tyler Boyd. I thought long and hard about switching him out for that Michael Thomas guy. But not long enough. It's a fine line between winning and losing in this competition. Or it's a big, thick, child-safe magic marker line, between those who picked Thomas, and those of us who didn't.   more »

Andy Richardson: Fantasy Index Blackout Week 10

I believe it was Steve Martin who once said, "Some people have a way with words, and others...uh....not have way." That's kind of how I feel about this Fantasy Index Blackout game, where I keep on submitting my lineup yet find myself slowly slipping beneath the waves. I was 50th a few weeks back, 150th or so now, and can't say with any confidence that I'll be closer anytime soon.   more »

Andy Richardson: Fantasy Index Blackout Week 7 Lineup

Thank heavens I got my lineup in last night so I could use David Johnson. It's sad to see his talent so criminally wasted. At least when he was on IR a year ago I couldn't make the mistake of starting him. I never root for guys to be fired, but Johnson needs a new coordinator. Yes, a ground-breaking idea.   more »

Andy Richardson: Fantasy Index Blackout Week 6 Lineup

Poor week last week. I was right there in the top 30 of this thing a week or two ago, and now I'm barely clinging into double-digits. Faith in Derrick Henry was a clear mistake. Time to make up some ground with an aggressive yet a little bit safer lineup.   more »

Andy Richardson: Fantasy Index Blackout Week 5 Lineup

Poor week last week. Where I went wrong was assuming the Saints defense was so weak that even Eli Manning would have a great game against it. He did not, I did not, and here we are. I'm just outside the top 50 overall, and have surrendered what was once a strong in-house lead. Bounce-back time.   more »

Andy Richardson: Fantasy Index Blackout Week 4 Lineup

Well, I failed to get my lineup in before the most entertaining Thursday night game in years, so I can't use any of those players, alas. I'll just need to find a few shootouts from the Sunday and Monday games. The way the NFL is going this year, it shouldn't be hard.   more »

Andy Richardson: Fantasy Index Blackout Week 3 Lineup

So far so good. I was 45th last week, and am now 28th overall. Kicking butt and taking names. All this and modest too. Now it's Week 3, and we start to separate the wheat from the thins. I'm looking at two games to load up on players from, Kansas City-San Francisco and Pittsburgh-Tampa Bay.   more »
