Always Go For Two
Imagine this. It’s Week 18 in the NFL, and you’re watching the Detroit Lions against the Green Bay Packers in a must win game. Your favourite team (obviously the Lions) are down 27-20 and have the ball at their own 25 yard line. They need to score a touchdown to make it to the post-season for the first time since 2016. The Lions start driving, and as time expires, the quarterback throws an ill-advised screen pass to the running back, who breaks two tackles in the backfield before busting off a beautiful touchdown run. Hope for all is restored.
Now, what should the Lions do? Should they play it safe by kicking the extra point and risk the game in overtime? Or should they go for the win and Go for Two. Here at Gofortwo.ca, there’s no debating what they should do.
The same thought process of why the Lions should go for two is what we want to bring to the fantasy world through this site. We’re starting this site to help you go out and win your fantasy matchups, not just hope that your opponent lays an egg. Winning with the 3rd fewest points in your league for the week just because your opponent had the least points should never be a point of pride. Put Jarvis Landry and his 4 catches for 51 yards on your bench and hold out for a 2 td game from Marquez Valdes-Scantling instead. Send Mike Davis to your waiver wire and pick up Khalil Herbert instead.
So how will this all look you ask? Good question. We plan on releasing weekly articles that highlight a “Go for Two” player with a ton of upside that is sitting on your bench, or even the waiver wire, weekly DFS strategy and advice articles. We also plan on releasing opinion pieces that will range from fantasy advice to postseason moves various teams can make to improve their next season. These will include tools like mock drafts, team breakdowns, and articles making fun of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Bears. The only thing that we know for sure is that you should always Go for Two.
Our Team
We’re a group of guys who love sports, talking about sports, and quite frankly, have way too much time on our hands. We’re to have fun, and hopefully keep you informed and entertained along the way. So, without further adieu, here is our team:
Ryan Hagberg
Founder, Chief Football Analyst
Anyone who has ever met Ryan would likely reach the same conclusion: his life has always revolved around sports. As kid, when he wasn’t playing competitive baseball, hockey, or football, there’s a good chance he was watching sports, or researching something sports related. When it became apparent that he wasn’t going to The Show, his passion for sports only grew further. He has been able to transform his lack of romantic success into turning himself one of the biggest sports geeks around, and somewhat of a fantasy degenerate. Born and raised in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Ryan is a diehard fan of the Yankees, Rams, Raptors, and Red Wings. Bringing years of success and experience in the world of fantasy, with top-tier sports knowledge to boot, Ryan is determined to put ‘Go For Two’ on the map and to provide top-quality analysis and advice to its readers.

Jonathan Morrow
Writer
Born into a household of Montreal Canadiens fans, Jonathan knows what it is like to feel heartache. He thought he deserved even more pain so he became a Chicago Bears fan. His favourite basketball and baseball teams are the Toronto Raptors and Toronto Blue Jays since, well, he is Canadian. Recently crowned king of his fantasy football league (2021 season), Jonathan knows when to draft a guy like Ja’marr Chase and when to pass on a guy like Trey Sermon. Married to the love of his life and fur dad to his doggo, Maizie, Jonathan loves watching sports, playing sports, and most importantly, betting on sports.
Derek Bulsink
Writer
As a Lions fan, Sens fan, and believer in Kyle Shanahan’s running game for fantasy, Derek is a glutton for punishment. Between drafting Trey Sermon anywhere and everywhere to starting Josh Reynolds in a must win matchup, he isn’t afraid to trust in his strong convictions. When not stressing about fantasy football, Derek enjoys petting golden doodles, playing hockey on the outdoor rinks and long walks on the beach. He lives in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
