NFL Fantasy Football Start & Sit Week 4: In a slump? A little Coffee can help
Brett Favre and Mark Sanchez further established themselves as, at the very worst, fantasy roster candidates. While normally “sure-fire” performers like Clinton Portis and Thomas Jones bombed. And what was with Willie Parker finally playing well and scoring a touchdown the very week I tell you to sit him? I swear, that guy has it [...]
NFL Quick Hits (September 25): Pats’ Welker questionable, Tomlinson sidelined for Week 3, Browns RB Lewis doubtful vs. Ravens, and more
Derrick Ward to Start Over Carnell Williams This is awesome news for anyone who drafted Ward and was holding out hope that he’d start to get more carries. Congratulations, your wish has been granted. Williams, owners, yours has not. As expected, Cadillac’s knee is acting up again, which doesn’t bode well for the rest of [...]
Don’t Kill the Messenger: NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Week 2 Review
I’ve seen and heard some bad calls in my day, but this past week of poor calls (by me, I must admit) bordered on absurd. There, I said it. I didn’t see some strong fantasy plays coming, and I suggested you to sit some others that put up some hefty performances. Still, I’m riding my [...]
NFL Quick Hits (September 18th) Gonzalez out until week 8, Kolb to start if McNabb can’t, and more
Colts’ Anthony Gonzalez Eyeing Week Seven Return Whew. Peyton Manning and Gonzalez owners can breathe a collective sigh of relief. While it’s great news that Gonzalez is officially coming back in 2009, losing him for the next six weeks hurts the Colts offense. Not to mention leaves a hole in your receiving corps. If you [...]
NFL Quick Hits (September 16): Vick OK’ed to practice, Pats’ Mayo out with sprained MCL, Tomlinson a game-day decision, and more
Michael Vick Taken Off Exempt List, Okay to Practice Jeff Garcia just cried. Now that the Eagles have Donovan McNabb, Kevin Kolb, Garcia, and an active Vick, decision will have to be made. Vick should be ready to go in week three and is a strong candidate for some serious action in Wildcat packages, and [...]
NFL Fantasy Football Start & Sit Week 2: Big day for Berrian, Flacco to fall flat
There were plenty of huge performances that could have potentially rescued your entire team, despite the countless eggs laid by supposedly “stud” fantasy options. A few of my week one picks made the latter list, so if you haven’t already, hit up my Start and Sit Week 1 Review to get some explanations, as well [...]
Five Things To Watch For: San Diego Chargers
After finishing off a late season run with a whipping of the Broncos, the Chargers eked into the 2008 playoffs with an 8-8 record and a division title, despite battling injuries and inconsistency for much of the season. While they couldn’t get past the eventual Super Bowl champions Steelers, they did have an impressive victory [...]
Fantasy Football Tier Rankings: Running Backs
As with the receivers and quarterbacks, this list is here to split up the A’s from the B’s, and let you know where to draft guys, roughly. Okay, so Adrian Peterson is your running back with the first pick. That was easy. Hell, Yahoo suggested it, right? But now what? The second round rolls around, [...]
2009 NFL Mock Draft (Updated: Feb. 20)
The combine gets underway in earnest this weekend, with drills upon drills upon drills taking place from Saturday to Tuesday, starting with the offensive linemen tomorrow and ending with the defensive backs on Tuesday. I thought I’d squeeze in an update ahead of the important stuff, but it goes without saying that what happens over [...]
When will L.T. be L.T.?
Last night, the San Diego Chargers finally looked like a good football team in their 34-7 win over Oakland. Attribute part of it to the competition that they were going up against, but it’s safe to say it was their best game since Week 6 against New England, and maybe over the entire season. But, [...]
