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 [...]
Kevin Roberts’ NFL Power Rankings Week 9: Saints Still on Top
While the Minnesota Vikings certainly impressed with a 38-26 win against Green Bay in Lambeau Field, the fall of the previously undefeated Denver Broncos has now left just two unbeaten teams remaining in the league. The Indianapolis Colts eeked past the San Francisco 49ers, 18-14, while the New Orleans Saints survived a late onside-kick and [...]
Kevin Roberts’ NFL Week 8 Power Rankings
(The idle Broncos lose their top spot) The unofficial “best team in the league”, the Denver Broncos, sat out week seven’s exciting action, and despite their solid play through a 6-0 record, they won’t be able to hold onto their top spot. If they weren’t already the team to beat in the NFL, the New [...]
Matt Gentile’s Week Seven NFL Power Rankings
1. New Orleans Saints (6-0) After pounding the New York Giants, New Orleans has shown they have a complete team to go with their explosive offense. Drew Brees is in rare form, so stopping him will not be an easy task. 2. Denver Broncos (6-0) Denver has outscored their opponent 76-10 in the second half [...]
Winners and Losers: Matt Gentile’s Week 2 NFL Awards
The theme for week 2 was game-winning drives. Some of the NFL’s top quarterbacks led their teams down field to get the victory in the fourth quarter. Some of the performances were breathtaking. Eli Manning marched the New York Giants’ offense 56 yards down field before allowing Lawrence Tynes to kick the game-winning, 37 yard [...]
Fantasy Football Tier Rankings: Running Backs
As with the receivers and quarterbacks, this list is here to split up the A’s from the B’s, and let you know where to draft guys, roughly. Okay, so Adrian Peterson is your running back with the first pick. That was easy. Hell, Yahoo suggested it, right? But now what? The second round rolls around, [...]
Up for grabs: Is Plaxico coming to a team near you?
Free agent wide receiver Plaxico Burress should be eligible to play in 2009. On Monday, June 15, his weapons-possession case was adjourned until September 23. Burress, who shot himself in the thigh with an unlicensed gun at a nightclub last November, was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and could face a minimum of [...]
Playing the Odds: NFL Week 6
Guess who’s back? The last few week-plus has been extremely busy for me, as I had some other commitments to attend to, both personal and work-related, but I’m back now, just in time to make my ATS picks for Week 6 of the NFL season. I didn’t make any picks last week, but I had [...]
Playing the Odds: NFL Week 4
As was the case with my college football picks last weekend, it was a mixed bag with the first edition of my NFL against-the-spread picks, as I went 7-9 in Week 3. Obviously the big letdown was New England, who got throttled at home by Miami, but I made a few bold picks and came [...]
