Irony, it appears, is not lost in the NFL.
The team that was openly vocal about aiming for a 16-0 season, the New Orleans Saints, was handed it's first loss in Week 15, while the team that was quiet and disciplined, the Indianapolis Colts, continued it's march for perfection.
While the top ... Continue Reading

Kevin Smith Likely Out For Season With Torn ACL
Early reports suggest Smith tore his ACL in Detroit's loss the the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, and that the second-year back is almost certainly done for the season.
This could mean a change through free agency or the draft at the position, as ... Continue Reading

Under Fantasy Football Tags: Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Carson Palmer, Chad Henne, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Donovan McNabb, Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans, James Casey, James Jones, Jason Snelling, Jerious Norwood, John Carlson, Jordy Nelson, Julius Jones, Justin Forsett, Kevin Smith, Malcom Floyd, Matt Forte, Matt Hasselbeck, Matt Ryan, Matt Schaub, Michael Turner, Mohamed Massaquoi, Oakland Raiders, Phillip Rivers, Ryan Grant, San Diego Chargers, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tony Romo, Washington Redskins
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

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 ... Continue Reading
NFL Trade Possibilities: Who Needs To Go
Posted By Kevin Roberts On Friday, October 16th 2009. Under NFL Tags: Antonio Bryant, Brady Quinn, Brodie Croyle, Buffalo Bills, Calvin Johnson, Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, Darren McFadden, Detroit Lions, Jake Delhomme, Josh Johnson, Julius Peppers, Justin Fargas, Kansas City Chiefs, Kerry Collins, Kevin Smith, Larry Johnson, LenDale White, Marc Bulger, Michael Bush, Oakland Raiders, St. Louis Rams, Steven Jackson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans, Terrell Owens, Trent Edwards, Vince Young
There is a lot of speculation surrounding several bottom-of-the-barrel teams, and for good reason.
The Buffalo Bills are reportedly at least discussing trading Terrell Owens, their one-year free agent splash, while the Browns have had to fight-off rumors about parting ways with former franchise quarterback Brad Quinn, and star return ... Continue Reading

After a couple so-so weeks with some hot hits and a few mishaps, we finally ran into a week full of bad start calls. For that I apologize. But, like always, before you "Kill the Messenger" and lose all hope in yours truly, take a step back and see why ... Continue Reading

(Coffee wasn't loaded with fantasy caffeine, but he did the job.)
After two straight weeks of tripping over my own suggestions, we finally saw some Start and Sit success in week four. If you check out the week four preview column, hopefully you took heed of some of the suggestions.
After going ... Continue Reading
NFL Fantasy Game-Day Decision: Kevin Smith Starting, Wes Welker is Active, and more
Posted By Kevin Roberts On Sunday, October 4th 2009. Under Fantasy Football, NFL Tags: Bob Sanders, Chicago Bears, Clinton Portis, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions, Dwayne Bowe, Dwight Freeney, Indianapolis Colts, Julian Edelman, Julius Jones, Kansas City Chiefs, Kevin Smith, Ladell Betts, Marion Barber, New England Patriots, New York Giants, Seattle Seahawks, Seneca Wallace, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tashard Choice, Washington Redskins, Wes Welker
(Barber should see less action than Tashard Choice.)
Dwight Freeney Back For Colts, Bob Sanders Still Out
This could mean that Julius Jones could still have a great fantasy day without Sanders around, but Freeney's presence bot makes Seneca Wallace a shaky bye week fill-in, and also hurts Seattle's overall pass offense.
Indy ... Continue Reading

Josh Johnson is the news starting quarterback in Tampa Bay (for now), while Chad Henne takes over for the other Chad on IR (Pennington). This is old news, but still information you need to be aware of if you already aren't, as both quarterbacks' new roles do affect their offenses, ... Continue Reading

Willie Parker "Iffy" With Turf Toe
One decent game, and everyone gets up in a whirl over Parker's foot.
While he "seems" to be back on track, this injury could either keep him out of week four, or also slow him down. If he plays, he's sure to split carries with both ... Continue Reading
