With only around five "elite" tight ends in the league, and only another 10 that could be deemed "solid" fantasy starters, it'd be a waste of time to run through two separate conferences. Here at The Red Zone Report, we're all about delivering fast, accurate knowledge. We don't beat around the bush. Here's a quick look at every team's situation at the tight end spot, with some analysis on which "unheard-of" players could step up this year. AFC East Buffalo Bills - Derek Schouman, ...Read More

The running back position has been covered. Now to the prima donnas, the popcorn, and the drama. Or should I say, the gun-hoarding, gold grill flashing, girlfriend abusing, fantasy all-stars? At this point, yes, I could say that. But it's June, it's warm out, and I'm feeling good about most of the top receivers in this league, even if they are in legal trouble and flirting with costing themselves 3-4 games in 2009. Regardless, if they made the list, they're probably worth taking ...Read More

Above: Another huge season for Thomas Jones? In continuation of my early fantasy overview, I pick up at the running back spot where I left off at the quarterback position; still excited about the fantasy season, but bewildered over all the possibilities that still remain. There are now more RBBC in NFL backfields than ever, and in Denver, we also have to worry about Peyton Hillis stealing touches from rookie, Knowshon Moreno. That's why there's a little thing called handcuffs, baby. Let it be ...Read More

It's June, which means all of those premature NFL power rankings and fantasy football rankings are no longer, well, quite as premature. While everyone (including myself) is discussing LeBron James and his handshake phobia, the Magic and the Lakers, or Bruno's fall into Eminem's lap, I've decided to take that free fall dive into the loving arms of fantasy football. And yes, the fantasy realm loves me back. However, let's pace ourselves. After all, it is in fact the first month of summer ...Read More

Michael Vick was one of the NFL's most popular players before he went to jail for dog fighting charges in 2007. It's hard to believe how fall he's fallen. Can you believe there was once a time when kids from all over the nation, who cheered for teams other than the Atlanta Falcons, were wearing Vick's number seven jersey? He is expected to be released from prison as early as today or tomorrow, Wednesday, May 20. There is no doubt what ...Read More

Every year experts discuss their reasoning for their Super Bowl favorite, or they are forced into providing an excuse for a certain team not making the playoffs. Far too often are quarterbacks placed under the microscope, injury-riddled offensive lines torn apart, or prima donna wide receivers bashed in online blogs. When do the coaches go under fire? While it'd be foolish to think they never are under scrutiny, assuming they're held responsible even half the time would be, well, incorrect. Example: What is the reason ...Read More

Just last week, it seemed like a good possibility that it was only a matter of time before the Minnesota Vikings signed Brett Favre, but it‘s all going to come down to a shoulder X-ray that will decide whether Favre comes back as a Viking, or if he calls time on his career for good. Let it be known that I’m all for Favre coming back for another season (or more if he wants), but if he’s coming back ...Read More

We've gone through draft grades for the AFC East and AFC North, and now it's time to give our take on how we think the teams from the loaded AFC South did in the 2009 NFL Draft. Houston Texans Grade: B- Best: Brian Cushing, OLB, USC Cushing is perfect for either outside linebacker position, and has enough versatility to be used in the middle, as well. He plays with a head of steam, delivering nasty hits, and is reliable in coverage. Cushing ...Read More

If he does play again, will it be in a dome or on grass? Will he be throwing passes under the sun, or against gusts of wind and snow? Will he be in a different shade of green, or jump boldly into purple? There are plenty of questions surrounding the recent news of Brett Favre's release from the New York Jets. And they don't stop at what team he could play for. While his dedication, motivation for a possible return, and health issues are ...Read More

As depressing and demoralizing as an NFL bust can be for an NFL team, a fan, or even the player that receives the label, there is always a softer side to the NFL Draft. We've seen guys like Green Bay receiver Donald Driver and New England's Tom Brady emerge from the sixth round of the draft to formulate incredible careers. After scouring over the college player pool and making their picks, each team undoubtedly feels they've found a gem or ...Read More
