Is Mike Shanahan Washington’s Missing Piece?
Norv Turner couldn’t do it. The guy that originally brought Washington two titles, Joe Gibbs, couldn’t get it done in his second try, either. Few truly believed Jim Zorn, who had zero previous head coaching experience was ready, so after all the Washington Redskins franchise has been through in the past 15+ years, what makes [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 9th): Steve Slaton to go on IR, Mark Sanchez and Matthew Stafford out for Week 14, and more
Steve Slaton Done For 2009 Slaton missed Week 13′s action against the Jacksonville Jaguars after experiencing numbness in his arms due to a neck injury, and after seeing specialists about the issues, has been advised to shut it down for 2009. This puts his future as the starter in doubt, and gives both Ryan Moats [...]
NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 14: Pittsburgh Steelers Are “All Go”
We’ve had two straight average-to-unsatisfactory weeks of our Start/Sit column, and based on our track record of solid calls and usual winning record in most weeks, quite frankly, we’re just getting annoyed. But the playoffs are quickly approaching, and now is not the time to feel sorry, give up, or cry. Read on for our [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 4th): Michael Turner and DeSean Jackson out for Week 13, Kurt Warner questionable, and more
Michael Turner to be Inactive For Week 13 Turner rushed back last week and it got him right back where he was the week before, so the Falcons are doing the right thing by holding him out again. It’s not like there will be a ton of running room against a solid Philadelphia Eagles run [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 2nd): Reggie Bush not in Saints plans, Clinton Portis likely done for season, and more
Reggie Bush May Not be a Saint in 2010 Bush has fallen out of the elite tole he once had in the New Orleans Saints backfield and isn’t even a marquee player as a receiver anymore. He did shine in his last game three weeks ago, but is battling knee issues once again, as he [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Nov. 30th): Matt Ryan day to day, Cedric Benson to start in Week 13, and more
Matt Ryan “Day to Day” With Sprained Toe Ryan sprained his toe early in Atlanta’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and ended up missing the rest of the game. Back-up Chris Redman stepped in and threw two touchdown passes, including the game-winner as the Falcons came back and beat the Bucs. Ryan is considered [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Nov. 27th): Big Ben questionable for Sunday, Cedric Benson’s status still uncertain, and more
Big Ben Considering Sitting Out Sunday’s Game Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is contemplating sitting out Pittsburgh’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, despite being cleared to play and practicing all week. Roethlisberger is just taking the necessary precautions, and considering the bad luck Brian Westbrook and Clinton Portis are having this year with head injuries, he’s [...]
NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 12: Ryan Grant to Feast on Detroit Lions
We had a great showing last week, giving you the right calls more often than not, while posting an 11-4 record for Week 11. We suggested that you start Eli Manning and Ricky Williams, two plays that paid off big time, while a few of our sit calls, Carson Palmer, Chad Ochocinco, and Jay Cutler [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Nov. 23rd): Ladell Betts, Aaron Kampman, and Al Harris out for season, and more
Packers Lose Kampman, Harris For Season Green Bay lost their star OLB (Kampman) and CB (Harris), both to knee injuries, and both players are expected to miss the remainder of the 2009 season. Kampman looks to be fairly replaceable with either Brandon Chillar or Brady Poppinga, who are both quicker and more athletic, making them [...]
NFL Week 12 Gameday Fantasy/Injury Update: Simms starts in Denver, Atlanta’s Turner sits, Betts starts for ‘Skins
Simms, Not Orton, To Start For Broncos As expected, Chris Simms will start in place of the injured Kyle Orton today when Denver hosts San Diego in their pivotal AFC West clash. Now, unless something has drastically changed from last week to this week, or from the rest of Simms’ NFL career, there’s no reason [...]
