It’s time again for the most important weekly feature on the Internet: Fantasy Fantasy Football. Throughout the NFL season, we’ll be evaluating five fantasy football gurus as they tell us who to start and sit each week. Using a highly flawed method based loosely on mathematical principles, we’ll attempt to reveal the one true football prophet. (Here’s how it works: A pick counts in their favor if he ends up in the top half of the weekly scoring leaders. There are four categories — QBs, RBs, WRs, Defense/Special Teams — and points are awarded on a 5-1 scale in each.) The experts are:

1. Matthew Berry
2. Michael Fabiano
3. Mike Harmon*
4. Eric Mack*
5. Jamey Eisenberg

*As usual, we’ll be taking the first five picks only from Harmon and Mack to balance the numbers.

Interlude 2: Nostradamus Quotes that sound like Fantasy Fantasy Football Predictions

From here:

Born in the shadows and during a dark day,
He will be sovereign in realm and goodness:
He will cause his blood to rise again in the ancient urn,
Renewing the age of gold for that of brass.

Here, Nostradamus references the ancient urn. And what does an urn hold? Ashes. And why would someone’s ashes be in an urn? Because that person has been harmed. Harm-on. Mike Harmon. It makes too much sense to be coincidence. Mike Harmon will win the overall title, and be a “sovereign in realm and goodness.” Just like I’ve always said.

Interlude 3: Fantasy Fantasy Football Fantasy of the Week

This Week: Serial Justice

There’s a serial killer on the loose, and his victims are all fantasy football champions. But who could it be? The police are out of ideas, so Matthew Berry and I are tasked with finding the real killer. “We have to use you as a decoy,” Berry tells me. “But I’ll be a sitting duck!” I protest. “That’s what a decoy is,” Berry says. “Literally.” “Good point,” I respond. So we stage a fake fantasy league, and I win in the final week. That sets up the big celebration party, in a giant hall like the ones ancient knights used to gather in. I sit at the head of the table, seemingly alone, drinking from a giant goblet of wine. There’s a crown on my head and a spread of fine meats on the long table. Suddenly, the lights go out. The door opens, and the serial killer appears in a long duster jacket. “The fantasy is up!” he says. He begins sprinting toward me holding what looks to be a sharpened Lombardi Trophy. Just then, Berry glides down from the ceiling and captures the serial killer using a field goal net. He stumbles and falls just before he reaches me. “Wrong,” says Berry. “The fantasy is down.” He and I share a high-five. Another case closed.
