It's a wild place out there in the current free agency realm, but somebody has to make sense of it. There are more capable running backs available on the market than you'd think, and with Jamal Lewis added to the mix (unless he retires), the field just got a little ... Continue Reading

The mighty Pittsburgh Steelers, last year's Super Bowl champions, and the NFL leader in total Super Bowls claimed, have fallen. They've lost five straight games after rebounding from a 1-2 start to get to 6-2, and furthered their fall from grace (and embarrassment) by allowing the 2-11 Cleveland Browns to beat ...

(Has Willie Parker officially lost his job?) Willie Parker and Troy Polamalu Back to Full Practices This doesn't mean they'll play for sure this week, but it's a good sign. The Steelers are likely to stick with the hot hand and give Rashard Mendenhall the majority of the carries, while it wouldn't be ... Continue Reading

Pittsburgh Loses DE Aaron Smith For the Season Smith was originally reported to be out for several weeks, but further diagnosis revealed that he would not be able to come back this season from a torn rotator cuff.

NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 7th) Braylon Edwards a Jet, Michael Crabtree a 49er and more

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Wednesday, October 7th 2009. Under Fantasy Football, NFL Tags: Braylon Edwards, Brian Westbrook, Cleveland Browns, Donovan McNabb, Dwayne Bowe, Eli Manning, Jamal Lewis, Jerome Harrison, Kansas City Chiefs, Michael Crabtree, New York Giants, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, Rashard Mendenhall, San Francicsco 49ers, Willie Parker

Braylon Edwards Traded to New York Jets The Browns ridded of the under-performing Edwards for Chansi Stuckey and two draft picks. This immediately causes caution for Derek Anderson's value, but should make Mohamed Massaquoi's value soar. Edwards, on the other hand, should develop into a fine down-field weapon for Mark Sanchez, but ... Continue Reading

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Tuesday, October 6th 2009. Under Fantasy Football, NFL Tags: Braylon Edwards, Eli Manning, JaMarcus Russell, Marion Barber, Matt Hasselbeck, Michael Crabtree, Mike Tomlin, Mohamed Massaquoi, Rashard Mendenhall, Tashard Choice, Willie Parker

(Should the Steelers run with the hot hand in Mendenhall?) Michael Crabtree Meeting With 49ers Today On the surface, all this means is that Crabtree doesn't actually want to sit out the entire season, and the 'Niners will probably win this contract battle. This doesn't make Crabtree a hot commodity all of a ... Continue Reading

Cleveland's James Davis Out For Season This is big, unexpected news, as the rookie looked very sharp in pre-season, and was on the verge of getting more carries. With Davis gone, however, Jerome Harrison (above) will step-in as the full-time starter until Jamal Lewis is fully healthy, and Lewis's age and ineffectiveness ... Continue Reading

Josh Johnson is the news starting quarterback in Tampa Bay (for now), while Chad Henne takes over for the other Chad on IR (Pennington). This is old news, but still information you need to be aware of if you already aren't, as both quarterbacks' new roles do affect their offenses, ... Continue Reading

Willie Parker "Iffy" With Turf Toe One decent game, and everyone gets up in a whirl over Parker's foot. While he "seems" to be back on track, this injury could either keep him out of week four, or also slow him down. If he plays, he's sure to split carries with both ... Continue Reading

This was supposed to be the week that the Washington Redskins turned it around. Well, at least in terms of offensive production in the fantasy realms. And for Jason Campbell and Santana Moss, that's exactly what happened. However, someone forgot to tell Jim Zorn that thousands of fantasy owners around the ... Continue Reading
