Monday Night Fantasy Start/Sit: Packers vs. Ravens
It’s Week 14. This is a huge Monday night show-down between two respectable teams, both out to prove that they’re for real, and both equally talented. And from a fantasy perspective, there’s quite a few “obvious” notes that you should have jotted down about 13 weeks ago. But in case you forgot, or stopped caring, [...]
Don’t Kill the Messenger: NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Week 12 Review
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 vouched for Week 12 fantasy [...]
NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 12: Ryan Grant to Feast on Detroit Lions
We had a great showing last week, giving you the right calls more often than not, while posting an 11-4 record for Week 11. We suggested that you start Eli Manning and Ricky Williams, two plays that paid off big time, while a few of our sit calls, Carson Palmer, Chad Ochocinco, and Jay Cutler [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 21st) Jay Cutler gets new deal, Julian Edelman out indefinitely, and more
Chicago Bears Sign Quarterback Jay Cutler to Two-Year Extension This keeps Cutler as a Bear through 2013, giving hi $30 million in “new” money, as well as $20 million guaranteed.

Kevin Roberts’ 2009 NFL Mock Draft (3 Rounds – 4/24/09) – Round 2
Go Back to Round 1 Round 2 33. Detroit Lions – James Laurinaits, ILB, Ohio State After getting their franchise quarterback and tackle, it’s time to beef up their defense. Laurinaits brings the athleticism, intangibles, and leadership they thought they were getting when they drafted Tedy Lehman years ago. Previous: Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois 34. [...]
2008 Kansas State Wildcats Preview
If Kansas State head coach Ron Prince could erase November 2007 from his memory, I’m sure he would. Last year, his Wildcats headed into November at 5-3 overall and with a winning record in conference play, with a postseason berth looking like a pretty safe bet. First came a 31-20 loss to 1-8 Iowa State. [...]
2008 NFL Draft Winners: Chiefs and Dolphins take big steps towards rebuilding
Now that the NFL Draft is over, it’s time to take a look back at some of the big winners from the weekend. Two teams who came into the draft needing a great weekend to aid their rebuilding process were the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins. They did just that, but they weren’t the [...]
Catching On: WR class could be best since ’96
The 1996 NFL Draft class was one of the best ever for the wide receiver position. That class saw the emergence of future NFL greats Keyshawn Johnson, Terry Glenn, Marvin Harrison and Terrell Owens from the collegiate level to the NFL. This year, many experts are predicting an equally impressive crop.
Post-Combine Draft Risers: It’s a good time to be from Purdue, and to be fast.
Dozens of draft prospects went into the NFL scouting combine looking to improve their draft standing by impressing the plethora of scouts and coaches in attendance in Indianapolis. From the sure bets to the sleepers, just about everyone had a little something to prove and improve.
Pre-Combine Draft Risers: Talented corners making noise, signal-callers slinging their way up.
Players who see their draft stock rise after the season ends come from all walks of college football life. Sometimes they are the big name quarterback who had a disappointing season. Sometimes they are the solid, but unspectacular middle linebacker for a MAC school. And sometimes the names are so obscure, scouts have to pull [...]
