What are the Three G's?

When I thought about creating this blog and offering fantasy analysis, I struggled with forming the concept for my in-season weekly article. I wanted to create something original and try to customize the advice to fit the individual player. To do this, I decided to also create a Twitter account (@SackofCheese) so that my followers can ask for fantasy advice for their specific teams throughout the week and leading up to kickoff. Please feel free to contact me there or through the comments section of the blog at any time.

Secondly, I will post a weekly article highlighting three players from the positions of QB, RB, WR, and TE, as well as three D/ST. I’ll be referring to them as The Three G’s, which is not to be confused with your wireless network. I’ll also throw a kicker in at the end in the form of, well, a kicker. Read on to find out more.

1.       “The Gimme”—Like a two-foot putt, you should be able to count on this guy. He’s not going to be available on the waiver wire, but you better not consider benching him for the week if he is on your team. He’s set to have a formidable week.

2.       “The Game-Changer”—He might not be available on the waiver wire in all leagues, but you might find him on your bench. He can usually be counted on for decent numbers, but this is the week he could lead you to victory.

3.       “The Gamble”—If you are playing a standard league, he is probably available. He is essentially my ‘pickup of the week’ at his position. He could boom or bust this week, but if you’ve got room in your lineup, you might find yourself in the midst of an explosion.

“Kicker of the Week”—If you need a kicker to fill a bye slot, or are looking to rotate kickers each week to maximize points, this is your guy. He should be available on the waiver wire unless your leaguemates read the weekly article before you did.
