Under NFL Tags: Andy Reid, Atlanta Falcons, Brad Childress, Brian Westbrook, Green Bay Packers, Jerious Norwood, LaDainian Tomlinson, Michael Turner, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, Ted Thompson

So much for waiting to see if Brian Westbrook would take a pay-cut and stick with the Philadelphia Eagles. After months of speculation on his future playing career, with or without the Eagles, we at least finally know that Westbrook is no longer going to be playing in Philadelphia. And despite letting ...

It's been another mediocre week from out Start/Sit column, but we made enough solid calls that should have helped you win this week. So, give us the benefit of the doubt, take a quick look at a recap on last week's winners and duds, and then stay tuned for Week 14's ... Continue Reading

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 ... Continue Reading

NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 13: Jay Cutler to Rebound Against Rams

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Tuesday, December 1st 2009. Under Fantasy Football Tags: Alex Smith, Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Bernard Berrian, Brett Favre, Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys, Darren McFadden, DeAngelo Williams, Detroit Lions, Eli Manning, Frank Gore, Fred Jackson, Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, Jake Delhomme, Jason Snelling, Jay Cutler, Jerious Norwood, Jerricho Cotchery, Jonathan Stewart, Joseph Addai, Kenny Britt, Malcom Floyd, mark sanchez, Marshawn Lynch, Matt Ryan, Michael Turner, Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, New York Jets, Oakland Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, Roddy White, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Grant, San Diego Chargers, San Francicsco 49ers, St. Louis Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans, Tony Romo, Vernon Davis, Vince Young

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. We learned not to trust in Browns players, and that even though a quarterback (Tony Romo) is struggling and going up ... Continue Reading

We had a horrible week with our Start/Sit column in Week 12, and not to make excuses, but injuries to Matt Ryan and Michael Turner (again) played a helping hand in it. While we finished with a less then desirable 5-10 record on the week (counting sleeper picks), we still ... Continue Reading

NFL Quick Hits (Nov. 25th) Michael Turner practicing, Matthew Stafford doubtful, Kurt Warner to face Titans, and more

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Thursday, November 26th 2009. Under Fantasy Football Tags: Aaron Kampman, Ahmad Bradshaw, Bernard Scott, Brandon Jacobs, Brian Leonard, Calvin Johnson, Cedric Benson, Chicago Bears, Daunte Culpepper, Green Bay, Jason Snelling, Jay Cutler, Jerious Norwood, Kurt Warner, Lovie Smith, Matthew Stafford, Michael Turner, Mike Martz, Mike Smith, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans

Michael Turner Returns to Practice Turner returned on a limited basis on Wednesday, but since head coach Mike Smith hasn't given any estimate on when Turner could play in a game, it's a safe bet he won't start this week's game. Jason Snelling looked good last week, and Jerious Norwood is back ... Continue Reading

Turner needs to shake slow start to boost Falcons’ hopes

Posted By Eddie Griffin On Monday, November 2nd 2009. Under NFL Tags: Atlanta Falcons, Jerious Norwood, Matt Ryan, Michael Turner, NFC South

Michael Turner has given fantasy owners a weekly boost by scoring at least one touchdown in each of his last five games, but even they have to be disappointed by his overall numbers after Turner ran for 1,699 yards and 17 touchdowns in his first season in Atlanta last year. ... Continue Reading

NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 22nd) Anquan Boldin a game-time decision, Frank Gore back, and more

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Thursday, October 22nd 2009. Under Fantasy Football Tags: Anquan Boldin, Donnie Avery, Frank Gore, Jerious Norwood, Jerricho Cotchery, Joe Flacco, Minnesota Vikings, Steve Breaston

Cardinals' Boldin to be Game-Time Decision This is old news, but we're updating the fantasy twist. Steve Breaston is already a rock solid WR3 in all leagues, but Boldin's absence or hindered presence makes him a fine WR2, while also elevating the mediocre stock of Jerheme Urban to a solid WR3 play. Frank ... Continue Reading
