WEEK 14 FANTASY FOOTBALL PREVIEWS

** BYES: ARI, WSH **

NOTE: ALL of the stats are SINCE WEEK 7 — unless noted. That’s because it’s good to look at recent performance versus year-long with defenses, etc., as in-season adjustments can change things.

WEEK 14 FANTASY FOOTBALL SLEEPERS

These are sleepers (DuckTales and Darkwing Duck style — Woo-oo is worthy of the risk in most leagues, and Dangerous is if you need a Hail Mary). They will not mimic my rankings 100%. This is about chasing upside and often carries more risk; put simply, they are upside plays you might consider over a solid floor option.

Woo-oo Worthy

Let’s Get Dangerous

FUN WITH RANKINGS!

Nicole (my wife) had never seen the Daredevil Netflix series (now on Disney), so we’re watching it together. First, let me remind you it’s one of the best things Marvel has ever done. Second, the amazing intro had me thinking 1) how Westworld stole its theme and, 2) that I should rank the best TV/show intros. I started listing them, but then realized I need two lists — live action and animated — because I can easily list over 30 combined. This week is the live action list; next week, we’ll rank the animated ones.

Best Show Intros

  • Game of Thrones — Greatest combination of music and graphic design… ever? Side note: the Pirates using it with their lineups was tremendously done.
  • Friends — I’ll be there for you!
  • Daredevil — What kicked this all off — the gravitas of the music
  • Fresh Prince — You’re singing it right now. Kind of a music video.
  • X-Files — One of the most iconic instrumental songs of all TV history.
  • Westworld — Even stealing Daredevil’s style, it’s a great one
  • Sopranos — Even not having watched the entire series, I know how great the intro is.
  • Golden Girls — One of the most iconic ones of all time (and the wife’s favorite).
  • Peacemaker — Easily the most insane one on the list.
  • The Office — You get a sense of every character’s traits just from a quick shot through this fun intro.
  • Knight Rider — That song, and voice.
  • MacGyver — These 80s shows had some of the best intro music and clip segments ever (also kinda sounds like Chip N Dale to start).
  • A-Team — Along the Knight Rider older shows I watched reruns of while home sick, another great one.
  • Full House — Maybe showing my age a bit, but I can’t think of any other show’s intro that embodies the 90s style than this.
  • Psych — I know, you know, that you should love this show and how fun the intro is.
  • The Brady Bunch — Who doesn’t know this song?
  • Saved by the Bell — “And the ‘larm gives out a warnin'” … in case you never figured out what the hell was being sung.
  • Airwolf — Knight Rider part two?
  • Community — Simple. Fun. Just like the paper fortune teller they use for the credits.
  • Stranger Things — Something about that eerie music keeps me from skipping the intro of only letters moving into place. (Loki too, just like this)
  • Honorable Mention: Adventures of Pete and Pete; CHiPs — Upbeat version of those 80s midday reruns.

    Editors’ note: Yes, we also are assuming Jake has never seen the Dallas. Or Just the 10 of Us. Or In Living Color. Or Get A Life. Or ALF. Or The Munsters. Or…

    Jake: Legit forgot about ALF — good call! Oh, and Cheers, but HM because I never watched it. Double oh! Star Trek: TNG for me (way too young for the O.G.)

    WEEK 14 FANTASY FOOTBALL PROJECTIONS

    🚨 HEADS UP 🚨 These can differ from my rankings, and my ranks are the order I’d start players outside of added context, such as, “Need highest upside, even if risky.” Also, based on 4-point TDs for QB, 6-point rest, and Half-PPR
