After reviewing which signal-callers to sit in Week 8, here's our look at which running backs fantasy owners should shy away from this week, at least in my opinion.

We had a rough going in Week 12, missing on start calls for Matt Ryan (injury) and Jason Snelling (Michael Turner returned), while missing on all of our sleeper picks.

There is a lot of speculation surrounding several bottom-of-the-barrel teams, and for good reason. The Buffalo Bills are reportedly at least discussing trading Terrell Owens, their one-year free agent splash, while the Browns have had to fight-off rumors about parting ways with former franchise quarterback Brad Quinn, and star return ...

Forgive me for playing Nirvana's "All Apologies" to the max level. But I can't rid my shame. The guilt, dear God, the guilt. Actually, that's a lie, but it's not for a lack of sorrow that some of my predicted "starts" didn't pan out. After all, I tend to follow the ... Continue Reading

Steelers Troy Polamalu Possibly Out With Sprained MCL Coach Mike Tomlin wouldn't give a definite on the injury or how much time his star saftey would miss, but it's not looking good. This isn't good for Pittsburgh, though, as Polamalu was all over the field before the injury, while their pass defense ... Continue Reading
