Kevin Roberts’ NFL Post-Season Power Rankings
You can never learn anything if you don’t re-trace your steps. That’s why, instead of merely assessing each team’s standing in the rankings for the final Power Rankings of the season, this writer is looking back to Week One, both to judge the teams that failed us, as well as the writer’s original thoughts on [...]
Kevin Roberts’ NFL Power Rankings Week 17
We learned a few things in Week 16. The New Orleans Saints didn’t just trip up against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. They got exposed, and quite clearly, in a big way. If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can sneak by them, the question is begging to be asked, “Who can’t?”. Speaking of former unbeaten [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 24th): Matthew Stafford and Anthony Gonzalez go on IR, Percy Harvin completely healthy, and more
Matthew Stafford Done For Year Stafford has officially been ruled out for the rest of the season with shoulder and knee injuries. The Lions liked what they saw from their rookie franchise passer, and don’t feel rushing him back for two meaningless games would benefit their future. Drew Stanton is expected to make the start [...]
Kevin Roberts’ Week 16 NFL Power Rankings
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 two spots remain [...]
Kevin Roberts’ Week 15 NFL Power Rankings
The story of the 2009 season continues to be about the two undefeated teams, and whether or not they will strive for perfection. There have been rumors that the Indianapolis Colts will begin to rest their starters in the next couple of weeks, which could hurt their chances for a 16-0 season. The New Orleans [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 9th): Steve Slaton to go on IR, Mark Sanchez and Matthew Stafford out for Week 14, and more
Steve Slaton Done For 2009 Slaton missed Week 13′s action against the Jacksonville Jaguars after experiencing numbness in his arms due to a neck injury, and after seeing specialists about the issues, has been advised to shut it down for 2009. This puts his future as the starter in doubt, and gives both Ryan Moats [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Nov. 25th) Michael Turner practicing, Matthew Stafford doubtful, Kurt Warner to face Titans, and more
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 to practicing fully. [...]
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 (Nov. 23rd): Ladell Betts, Aaron Kampman, and Al Harris out for season, and more
Packers Lose Kampman, Harris For Season Green Bay lost their star OLB (Kampman) and CB (Harris), both to knee injuries, and both players are expected to miss the remainder of the 2009 season. Kampman looks to be fairly replaceable with either Brandon Chillar or Brady Poppinga, who are both quicker and more athletic, making them [...]
NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 11: Eli Manning to Take Flight Against Falcons
We had great success in Week 10, making the right call on Brett Favre, Ricky Williams, and nudging you in the right direction on sitting Matt Ryan and Matt Cassel. We also picked some fine sleeper picks, as Matthew Stafford and Josh Freeman dropped in respectable efforts, and Jamaal Charles solidified himself as Kansas City’s [...]
