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.

Brett Favre Proves Doubters Wrong, Even in Loss
Yes, the Minnesota Vikings have dropped three of their last four, all on the road, and are staring a Wild Card match right in the face. They were 10-1, Favre and the offense was clicking, and this team was thinking Super Bowl. But then, as so many Favre-haters had predicted, the previously unbeatable Favre began [...]
State Of The Vikings: All Is Well In Minnesota
The title (as most are) can be deceiving. “All” may not be well in Minnesota.

Sanchez has been practicing and looks like he’ll be ready for [...]
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 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.

Likewise, [...]
