We had a rough going in Week 12, missing on start calls for Matt Ryan (injury) and Jason Snelling (Michael Turner returned), while missing on all of our sleeper picks. We learned not to trust in Browns players, and that even though a quarterback (Tony Romo) is struggling and going up ... Continue Reading

What fantasy impact does Harry Douglas’ torn ACL have?

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Thursday, August 6th 2009. Under NFL Tags: Atlanta Falcons, Brian Finneran, Harry Douglas, Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez

If you were buying all that hype about Tony Gonzalez coming to Atlanta to primarily block you can forget about it now. It's not like Harry Douglas was a super stud that was going to steal 50+ catches from anyone, but with his 2009 season kissed good-bye, combined with Roddy White's ... Continue Reading

After going through the top 50 players in the league who provide good potential but give you reason to worry, I decided to put together a smaller list of guys that you shouldn't think twice about drafting. Drew Brees (pictured) doesn't even have to be on the list. But a better ... Continue Reading

Houshmandzadeh, Tampa Bay Buccaners, Ted Ginn, Torry Holt, Vincent Jackson, Washington Redskins, Wes Welker

In several mock drafts, Larry Fitzgerald, Randy Moss, and Andre Johnson have taken turns being the first receiver off the board, and all three have found themselves drafted in the first round on at least a few occasions. But those are easy calls. It's difficult to assess talent and environment, and after ... Continue Reading

Houshmandzadeh, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Torry Holt, Washington Redskins

One of the most difficult things to guess is a team's starting receiving line-up, especially this early in the season. Rookies can gain huge strides due to injuries or poor performances from veterans, while lackluster efforts from the corps can cause the front office to panic and sign someone off ...

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 ... Continue Reading
