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. If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can sneak by them, the question is begging to be asked, “Who can’t?”. Speaking of former unbeaten [...]

NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 16: Favre and the Vikings Should Get Back on Track
Most leagues are gone and forgotten by this time of the NFL season, but somewhere out there, fantasy football still reigns in the hearts of fierce competitors.

NFL Week 16 Preview: Five Things to Watch For
Last week we saw the New Orleans Saints finally fall, while the Indianapolis Colts extended their record to 14-0, and now stand as the only undefeated team in the league. We’re also getting closer to the possibility of Chris Johnson reaching the 2,000-yard plateau, which only adds to the AFC playoff race, as Johnson’s team, [...]
Kevin Roberts’ Week 16 NFL Power Rankings
Irony, it appears, is not lost in the NFL. The team that was openly vocal about aiming for a 16-0 season, the New Orleans Saints, was handed it’s first loss in Week 15, while the team that was quiet and disciplined, the Indianapolis Colts, continued it’s march for perfection. While the top two spots remain [...]

1. New Orleans Saints (13-0) They pulled the baby out of the fire the last two weeks, but New Orleans is doing the right thing by keeping their starters in the rest of the way and trying for 16-0. 2. Indianapolis Colts (13-0) Many experts are saying Indianapolis will sit their starters now that they’re [...]
Oakland Raiders Make Right Move By Signing J.P. Losman

Kevin Roberts’ Week 15 NFL Power Rankings
The story of the 2009 season continues to be about the two undefeated teams, and whether or not they will strive for perfection. There have been rumors that the Indianapolis Colts will begin to rest their starters in the next couple of weeks, which could hurt their chances for a 16-0 season. The New Orleans [...]
Don’t Kill the Messenger: Week 14 Fantasy Start/Sit Review
As it turned out last week, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive players were not a “full go”, as out Week 14 Start/Sit column suggested. The Cleveland Browns gave most of the Steelers offensive weapons fits, and a poor weather game made for ugly results in a 13-6 Cleveland victory. Which was more unlikely heading into that game; [...]
Jamarcus Russell Justifies Benching By Opening His Mouth
It’s been three weeks since the Oakland Raiders benched franchise quarterback Jamarcus Russell in favor of the relatively unknown Bruce Gradkowski. Since then, the Raiders have pulled off impressive upsets over the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers, as Gradkowsi has displayed solid control and the ability to make plays with receivers that Russell could hardly [...]
