2010 NFL Week 8 Fantasy Football Start/Sit: Who to Sit – Running Backs
After reviewing which signal-callers to sit in Week 8, here’s our look at which running backs fantasy owners should shy away from this week, at least in my opinion. Sit RB Cedric Benson, Cincinnati Bengals: Benson has found the end zone only three times thus far this season (twice rushing, once receiving), has topped 100 [...]
Kevin Roberts’ 2010 NFL Mock Draft: 4.0
We’ve learned a lot in the past two months, via the NFL Combine , pro days, injuries, NFL trades, and through NFL free agency . We now know that Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy can throw the ball and are fully healed, and we know that Joe Haden isn’t as slow as his combine 40-time [...]
Donovan McNabb traded to Redskins
ESPN’s Adam Schefter first reported that the Philadelphia Eagles have traded Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins. Washington is reportedly giving up a 2010 second-round pick and either a third or fourth-round pick in 2011 for McNabb. Reports earlier this week indicated that the Oakland Raiders emerged as the front-runners for McNabb. The St. Louis [...]
With Cincinnati Not an Option, Where Will Terrell Owens Go?
It’s that time again. Time for a good, hard look around the league, quickly analyzing all the options remaining for a big-name free agent. This time around, it’s Terrell Owens. Again. We scoured over all the options last year when Owens was released by the Cowboys, and virtually nobody thought of the Buffalo Bills, and [...]
2010 NFL Free Agency: Top 10 Quarterbacks
The NFL has 32 teams, and of those teams, there are 23 of them that have a bonafide elite starter or a young passer that is deemed the “franchise passer”, at least for now. That means roughly nine teams could or should be looking at the quarterback position in the 2010 NFL Draft, and it [...]
Is Al Davis Just Messing With Tom Cable Because He Can?
ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported that Oakland head coach Tom Cable will be retained, and at least for now, appears set to coach the Raiders for the 2010 season. Despite rumors that team owner Al Davis was pursuing possible candidate for the past week and a half, the Raiders brass appears to have abruptly cut-off [...]
Kevin Roberts’ 2010 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
We already took a crack at the 2010 NFL Draft, but after seeing which players have officially declared, and how several prospects unfolded as the season went on, we knew we were way off. But it’s the dawning of a new NFL season, despite the playoffs still going on, as the other 28 teams not [...]
Is Mike Shanahan Washington’s Missing Piece?
Norv Turner couldn’t do it. The guy that originally brought Washington two titles, Joe Gibbs, couldn’t get it done in his second try, either. Few truly believed Jim Zorn, who had zero previous head coaching experience was ready, so after all the Washington Redskins franchise has been through in the past 15+ years, what makes [...]
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 [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Jan. 4th): Wes Welker done for year, Jim Zorn fired, Bill Cowher may not return, and more
Wes Welker Reportedly Out For Playoffs Welker sustained a knee injury in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans, and according to several sources, he has torn both his ACL and MCL ligaments.
