Kevin Smith Likely Out For Season With Torn ACL

(Edwards should be owned in all leagues.)
Week five was a huge week for receivers, as several formerly back-up receivers got a shot at major action and never looked back. After we saw guys like Mike Sims-Walker and Steve Smith step-up in huge ways last week, it was nice to see ... Continue Reading

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Saturday, August 8th 2009. Under NFL Tags: Andy Reid, Brent Celek, Brian Westbrook, DeSean Jackson, Donovan McNabb, Jeremy Maclin, kevin curtis, Kevin Kolb, NFC East, Philadelphia Eagles, Stewart Bradley
Things were looking a little rocky for Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb near mid-season, but an infamous "benching" helped turn the tide, and the Eagles finished a win away from the Super Bowl.
Make that five NFC championship appearances in the Reid/McNabb era, and can we say, counting?
The offense is definitely ... Continue Reading

In several mock drafts, Larry Fitzgerald, Randy Moss, and Andre Johnson have taken turns being the first receiver off the board, and all three have found themselves drafted in the first round on at least a few occasions.
But those are easy calls.
It's difficult to assess talent and environment, and after ... Continue Reading
