NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Week 10: Back to the Brett Favre Magic
We had a productive Start/Sit column last week, as we took advantage of some “can’t miss” match-ups and suggested some solid starts out of Alex Smith and Ryan Grant, while made quality sleeper predictions by recommending you keep an eye on both Vince Young and Josh Freeman.

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.

(Get Megatron out of your line-up.) Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford Inactive Against Green Bay Stafford suffered a set-back in Wednesday’s practice and may need surgery, while the Lions are playing it safe with Johnson’s knee, as well.

NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 16th) Calvin Johnson likely out this Sunday, Jerricho Cotchery to miss week six, and more
Calvin Johnson Not Expected to Play in Week Six We figured so. The Detroit Free Press makes it almost official, but the way he was hobbling around all week, it was already written on the wall.

NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 8th): Seattle’s Hasselbeck to start in Week 5, Pats’ Taylor to have ankle surgery, Lions’ Stafford likely out vs. Steelers, and more
(Can Carnell finally fight off Derrick Ward?) Matt Hasselbeck Likely to Start in Week Five Hasselbeck returned to full practice and didn’t have any major problems. He reportedly looked good and is expected to start against Jacksonville’s very beatable secondary. While this news is up-lifting, he’s still a major risk, considering he failed to make [...]
