Don’t Kill the Messenger: NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Week 12 Review

While we finished with a less then desirable 5-10 record on the week (counting sleeper picks), we still vouched for Week 12 fantasy [...]

Big Ben Considering Sitting Out Sunday’s Game Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is contemplating sitting out Pittsburgh’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, despite being cleared to play and practicing all week. Roethlisberger is just taking the necessary precautions, and considering the bad luck Brian Westbrook and Clinton Portis are having this year with head injuries, he’s [...]
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 [...]

Simms, Not Orton, To Start For Broncos As expected, Chris Simms will start in place of the injured Kyle Orton today when Denver hosts San Diego in their pivotal AFC West clash. Now, unless something has drastically changed from last week to this week, or from the rest of Simms’ NFL career, there’s no reason [...]
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.

Turner needs to shake slow start to boost Falcons’ hopes
Michael Turner has given fantasy owners a weekly boost by scoring at least one touchdown in each of his last five games, but even they have to be disappointed by his overall numbers after Turner ran for 1,699 yards and 17 touchdowns in his first season in Atlanta last year. Turner has seven touchdowns this [...]
NFL Monday Night Football Preview: New Orleans (6-0) vs. Atlanta (4-2)
We’re only in Week 8, but you could go as far as saying that the New Orleans Saints could well wrap up the NFC South for all intents and purposes with a win over Atlanta tonight. The 6-0 Saints hold a two-game lead over the 4-2 Falcons coming into tonight, with the yo-yo that is [...]
