Matt Ryan Still Questionable For Sunday Despite reports that Ryan would only start if his top linemen were healthy, head coach Mike Smith has said that Ryan is progressing, and his status will have nothing to do with any players around him.

Go Back to Round 2 Round 3 65. Detroit Lions – Fili Moala, DT, USC Just one of the many USC prospects, Moala has been overlooked all the way into the third round. He is a massive man with good strength, and should give the Lions an inside presence they haven’t had since Shaun Rogers. [...]

The Titans keep winning, the Lions keep losing, and there was neither in Cincinnati yesterday. Cleveland and Buffalo [...]
Monday NFL Minute: Titans, Bills keep rolling at 4-0, Broncos, Cowboys fall from the ranks of the unbeaten
Sunday was an action-filled day in the NFL. We saw the number of unbeaten teams reduced from six to four, a career day from Brett Favre, a couple of vintage performances, an extension of misery for a few teams, including one (at least) who’ll likely have a new coach in the coming days. All in [...]
NFL Fantasy Start or Sit Week 4: Whose time is it to Shine, Who should Ride the Pine?
Before we get started on our week four projections, I’ve got a bone to pick with Matthew Berry a.k.a. “The talented Mr. Roto” who works over at ESPN. While I will admit that he’s probably better at this than I am, he does just about everything I hate when it comes to his “Love ‘em, [...]
