  • Roddy White practices, is expected to play

    6 Nov 2009 | 4:55 pm
    Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White has been one of the top wideouts in fantasy football through the past four weeks, recording 414 yards and five touchdowns in that period. But there was reason to worry this week after White didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday due to a very vague knee injury. White did practice in limited capacity on Friday and head coach Mike Smith said "I anticipate [White] being ready to go on Sunday afternoon." He is listed as questionable for the team's week nine contest against the Washington Redskins.

  • Colts notes: Donald Brown expected back; Anthony Gonzalez gets scoped

    6 Nov 2009 | 4:10 pm
    Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Donald Brown is expected to play this Sunday versus the Houston Texans. He has made a pretty quick recovery from a shoulder injury. However, you can't say the same about wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez from his knee injury. After rumors swirled a while ago that Gonzalez could be getting close to returning to the Colts' lineup, Gonzalez had arthroscopic knee surgery on Thursday. He is expected to miss at least 2-3 more weeks. He has been out since week one with a torn PCL and apparently re-aggravated his injury during practice a couple of weeks ago. Brown…

    And then there were two. Baltimore completely dismantled the formerly-undefeated Denver Broncos last Sunday, and it doesn’t get any easier for Josh McDaniels and the gang, as the world champion Steelers come to town for a Monday night brawl this week.

I feel like I should be part of the Yankees Ticker Tape Parade in Manhattan right now if for no other reason than how often can you participate in a parade?? This is exactly the logic I'll be using when I tromp around the Macy's Day Parade on Thanksgiving. Who knew my parade options would increase exponentially upon moving to NYC? Considering I'm still in my pajamas (hey, what's the rush?) and thoroughly enjoying my morning coffee, the whole parade thing might get tabled for now. There are football links to get to!

I know, I need to get more friends. Funny how hard making friends can be when you work from home on fantasy football and basically hang out with cats all day (they're adorable cats, but still, they don't talk back)...all kidding aside though, it's kind of nice to have a quiet weekend after we had so many…

I really wasn't ready to pull the trigger on Library A before meeting again with Library B, and since Library A decided they couldn't wait until my Library B interview had concluded, I declined the offer.

  • Has Bob Sanders Played His Final Game As a Colt?

    6 Nov 2009 | 3:19 pm
    Safety Bob Sanders has been a fixture on the Indianapolis Colts defense for a few years now. While Sanders has consistently played at a high level (when on the field) he's missed a lot of time in his career to injury. Today, Sanders was officially placed on injured reserve, effectively ending his season. This now means that Sanders will only participate in two games for this entire season. Including the rest of this season, Sanders has now missed more games (played in 47, missed 48) in his career than he has played in the regular season. For all of Sanders' injuries, it is undeniable (before…

The Pats will try to seek revenge on the Dolphins after losing the division last year and the Texans might have one of the biggest games in franchise history as they travel in to play the Colts in Lucas Oil Stadium. The Sunday night and Monday night games also look very good on paper. The Eagles host the Cowboys and the Steelers travel to Mile High to take on the Broncos. This is also a good week for fantasy owners because there are only a few big name players on bye minus any Vikings players.STUDSQB David Garrard- Last week this pick burned me as the…

  • Studs and Duds, Week 8

    28 Oct 2009 | 1:44 pm
    Last week as expected the big names produced against their weak opponents and fantasy owners were rewarded for the high draft picks. There were also some late round picks and possible waiver moves that made some fantasy owners look like geniuses. For example Cedric Benson, Mike Wallace and Miles Austin blew up and had some great games. But enough about last week so lets move on to week 8 where there are some great games and good/bad fantasy match ups.STUDSQB David Garrard- His numbers have been inconsistent from week to week but the Jags are coming off a bye and facing a Titans team…

  • Studs and Duds, Week 7

    21 Oct 2009 | 10:12 pm
    I want to welcome a new writer, Dominic, who will be providing content this season, just like Louis did for us last season. Dominic is a big time fantasy football manager and is looking forward to providing his thoughts with all of you. And with Dominic's arrival, he's bringing back my Studs and Duds column for this week. And now I will defer to Dominic's recommendations:This week offers many mouth watering matchups for some of the big names in the league. Peyton Manning and the Colts travel to St. Louis to play a terrible Rams team and Aaron Rodgers…

  • Fair?....Ethical?

    So I got an interesting email this week that I wanted to share with all of you, see if you agree or disagree with my answer. Here's the email:"OK - So I'm in a 10 team standard league. One guy trades Ahmad Bradshaw for LT - who has a bye. After the week, he trades back for bradshaw....essentially "loaning" him out for the week to his buddy. Is this fair and/or ethical. Looking forward to your response."And my response was:"This is definitely not fair or ethical. Although I have to admit I like the idea of loaning out a player as part of a trade. I'm someone who…

  • Actives/Inactive

    11 Oct 2009 | 9:15 am
    Here are the notable active and inactive players for the games this morning. Adjust your lineups accordingly.ACTIVE:QB Eli Manning - He's active and will start. But there's a chance that he might not make it through the entire game. And even if he does, if the Giants go up early on the Raiders (which is likely), they could end up running the ball the rest of the game. Bench him unless you absolutely can't.RB Jonathan Stewart - He should see a dozen carries and some goal line looks. Decent flex option if you need him.RB Joseph Addai - It looks like he'll…

  • Is Steve Smith Better Than Steve Smith?

    admin
    25 Sep 2009 | 11:04 pm
    There was a time when Steve Smith of the NYG was off the radar.  He didn’t even need to be distinguished from the Steve Smith of Carolina because it was so obvious you were talking about the only relevant Steve Smith, the one on the Panthers. Now, I think Steve Smith of the Giants is the better of the two.  He’s huge in fact.  With Plaxico out of the picture, he’s become Eli’s primary target and now gets major catches and is even more than a possession receiver.  Though I’ve heard that he doesn’t have WR1 talents or athleticism (like I would know if…

  • Server Problems: Yahoo Fantasy Sports Not Working

    13 Sep 2009 | 1:59 pm
    I’ve noticed that the major fantasy football sites are having trouble loading today.  Maybe they should have used some of their fantasy football cash to buy some more servers.  Among those having trouble are: Yahoo FantasySports, ESPN.com, NFL.com, and MyFantasyLeague. I hate the NFL new broad overlook.  You have to click a tab each time you want the specific game stats.  I much preferred the older, lower tech game results.

  • Blocking your opponents QB

    6 Nov 2009 | 6:14 pm
    This might be relegated to the Bench forum but I'm looking at it as more of a strategy question. I'll use my team this week as an example however.The example from my league is that my opponent has Eli Manning and our league scores 4 pts for a TD. I own and will start Hakeem Nicks. I have 2 options at TE in Fred Davis and Kevin Boss. I believe Fred Davis will likely have the better day but I'm leaning towards starting Boss as our league awards 7 points for receiver TDs. If Manning would throw a TD to either Nicks or Boss I would actually be gaining points on my opponent. I also have a chance…

Going rapidly from football talk to an internet fisticuffs over a relationship gone awry, this script is the literary embodiment of a Jerry Springer episode. The setting for our story is the Pearce Fantasy League, a fantasy football legion of 12 men in their early 20s who have spent years competing against one another in the pantheon of made-up sports, while simultaneously becoming friends in the…

    Lindsay Jones, of The Denver Post, reports Denver Broncos DL Le Kevin Smith will likely start the team’s Week 9 game in place of DL Ryan McBean (knee). Defensive line coach Wayne Nunnely said, “Le Kevin Smith is our guy who is going to be starting for Ryan. He’s played, and we brought him here from New England for a reason. He’s a good football player, and now he’ll get a chance to start and get a chance to play a lot more than he has in the first seven games.”

MJD now leads all other NFL RBs with 10 rushing TDs in 7 games and he has multiple TDs in 3 games this season. Nothing against Adrian Peterson, but Jones-Drew is building a strong case to be recognized as the new undisputed king of fantasy football.

Tom Brady (NE) – With 688 passing yards and 9 TD passes in his last 2 games, it is safe to say that Brady has completely returned to top flight form. He should continue his dominance in week 9 against a very inexperienced Miami secondary that features two rookie starters at CB and another rookie corner in nickel situations. With the extra week to prepare, you can count on Brady to pick apart the Dolphin secondary in week 9.2. Peyton Manning (IND) – He may have started a…

    Quarterbacks Start:  Matt Cassel, Kansas City Chiefs at Jacksonville Jaguars.  Cassel has had a pretty up and down season as he has three games in which he has thrown two touchdown passes and two where he didn’t throw any.  The good part of Cassel was that he wasn’t turning the ball over, as he had only thrown two interceptions before last week where he failed to throw for even 100 yards and had three picks.  But this week he will face the Jaguars, who even made Vince Young look like a viable quarterback again last week.  Jacksonville has allowed nearly 250 yards per game…

    It was a great week for the Fantastic Five as all of us at least picked at a .500 level for the first time all year.  The standings are still very close as only five and a half games separate first from last and as any of you know who pick games regularly, that can change in a hurry.  These last few weeks have been difficult with the bye weeks, as there have been fewer games to choose from and the point spreads have been huge.  Unfortunately for our pickers, this week is the most extreme of them all as far as that is concerned.   Personally, I am concerned this week, as I was not overly…

    I have a friend who told me this weekend that Chris Johnson is amazing, and it’s hard to disagree at first glance. Few players can compete with the game-changing performances he brings to the table. If you’ve watched any Titans games this season or at least tuned into the “fastest three minutes” segment of Monday Night Football to hear Chris Berman “Whoop!” and “Whaap!”, you know that Chris Johnson has been electrifying. As of week eight, Johnson leads the NFL in rushing yards with 824 and through seven games he has 961 yards from scrimmage this…

Burleson’s 12 targets were double the amount T.J. Houshmandzadeh received, and it vaulted Burleson past Housh in targets for the season. Burleson is now sixth in the NFL and third in the NFC with 66 targets. - Michael Crabtree, San Francisco 49ers: A week after getting targeted a total of six…

    There’s nothing glamorous about pickups at this point in the season. You’re either struggling to find meaning in your season after falling desperately behind the rest of the teams in your league or fortifying and defending your team by building a stronger bench with these free agents. But the picks are especially un-sexy this week. Pick ‘em if you gotta.

    Baseball stole our Sunday Night Football. How is that fair? Give it back, World Series. I demand it. I’m fine with baseball as long as I don’t have to sit through an entire game. In my opinion, it should be played in highlight form, jumping to the major parts and leaving out all the rest. Pitching change? No, sir. You should only be able to make a change between innings. You play yourself out of your own mess, pitcher. We could also probably speed things up by not using a third baseman. If you get past second, you have to beat the catcher to home plate or get caught trying. Yeah,…

    In a fantasy football group I participate in each week, Fantasy Football Fanatics on LinkedIn, I recommended going with Beanie Wells in a flex spot over Andre Johnson this week. Am I crazy or is this smart strategy? I’m going with the numbers here. My argument for going with Beanie: There is definitely a huge risk factor in starting Beanie. Still, he’s a hot hand and I’d go with my gut on him. I really don’t think A.J. is going to go this week. He has a bruised lung. That hurts (I can only imagine.) Besides, the Texans know they probably don’t need him to beat…

    1. QB Carson Palmer vs. Baltimore Ravens Don’t be fooled into believing that Baltimore’s defensive performance last week means they’re back to playing like the 2000 Ravens defense did. They’re not. And Palmer is a notorious Ravens killer. The Bengals receivers will be too much for the Ravens secondary to handle and Palmer will throw for at least 250 with a few TDs. 2. RB Ryan Grant vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers The Buccaneers defense turns every opposing RB into a No. 1 fantasy starter the week they play them. And this week, even though he’s playing behind a patchwork…

  • 2009 NFL Suicide Pool Pick - Week 9

    admin
    6 Nov 2009 | 6:34 am
    Here’s our top three suicide pool picks for Week Nine of the NFL. 1. Atlanta Falcons vs. Washington Redskins The Falcons have lost two straight but are right in the thick of the NFC Wild Card hunt. And this week, they’ll get back in the win column when the dysfunctional Redskins come to town. Look for Atlanta to pound the ball with Michael Turner throughout the afternoon and then utilize the play-action pass to Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez when the Safeties come up to help. Defensively, the confidence level of Jason Campbell and Co. is so low that the Falcons only need to bring…

  • 2009 NFL Picks - Week 9

    We hit on three of our four top picks in Week Eight and our sixth money line bet of the season. Here’s who we like for Week Nine. Best Bet 1. Pittsburgh Steelers (-3) vs. Denver Broncos It was only a matter of time before the Broncos came crashing down to earth. The Ravens, in their 30-7 romp over Denver last Sunday, exposed some of the weaknesses on this offense, namely Kyle Orton’s inability to throw down field, and you can expect the Steelers to follow that blue print. You can also expect Pittsburgh to play a physical game and wear the Broncos down offensively and defensively.

    1. Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Denver Broncos The Baltimore Ravens showed the blueprint for keeping the Broncos offense in check: pressure. Since Orton’s not adept to throwing deep, if you bring the Safeties closer to the line, it limit’s Denver’s effectiveness. Look for Polamalu to play close to the line and the Steelers front seven to pressure Orton into sacks and turnovers. They’re our top ranked fantasy football D/ST in Week Nine. 2. Green Bay Packers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers It appears that the Buccaneers are handing the reins over to rookie Josh Freeman and you can…

    1. Antonio Gates vs. New York Giants If C.C Brown is assigned to cover Gates, DC Bill Sheridan should be fired and Gates fantasy owners should be ecstatic. You’ll be guaranteed at least one TD and probably close to 100 yards working the middle of the field. Going against a troubled Giants defense at this point, Gates is our top fantasy football TE in Week Nine. 2. Dallas Clark vs. Houston Texans Clark is a beast to handle who works the middle of the field better than anyone. And Peyton Manning knows how to get him the ball. Expect another strong effort with at least one TD when the…

    Fantazzle Weekly Fantasy Sports Games each week looks to give fantasy football insight that is not obvious. We focus on players that are overlooked by most major fantasy football sites. If your looking for high level start/sit advice (start Drew Brees and Adrian Peterson, bench Marc Bulger and Michael Crabtree) then you will want to read a different article. If you want analysis on players that are under the radar and are question marks each week, then read on. It’s also worth pointing out that while some of those fantasy football start/sit articles can be useful, they aren’t…

    Ryan Parr is the founder and CEO of Fantazzle Fantasy Sports Games. Weekly fantasy football games for cash prizes including free fantasy football. So to reiterate what you hear from everyone about fantasy football. Don’t overreact. Don’t get rid of stars that have started slow. That said, you should start making moves to shore up your bench. In most leagues, you have a couple of spots that are iffy and if those fantasy guys haven’t produced thus far, you can make some add/drops. Guys like Chris Chambers, Le’Ron McClain, Edgerrin James, drop and pick up guys that have…

    If you missed the NFC NFL Football Predictions, take a look. This post is for the AFC Conference. I’ll try to stick with things that are not apparent and you haven’t heard over and over again. I hope it will provide you all with additional insight, albeit a little late, but it should be a good read and we’ll take a look at the end of the year and see how accurate the predictions were. NOTE – All of the below was predicted prior to Week 1 and no results from Week 1 were used to create the predictions. AFC East New England was 11-5 w/out Tom Brady last year. He’s…

    Ok, its late.  This was all analyzed before last Sunday, but I guess there’s no reason for you to take my word for it. In any case, here it is. Give it a glance over and I’ll recap how accurate it was at the end of the season. In this post, I’m going to shy away a bit from fantasy football and make some predictions for NFL football in general.  Don’t get me wrong, football predictions are VERY relevant to fantasy football. More than I believe people realize. When I do my research before the season and during the season, I spend a lot of time getting my thoughts…

    At least two starting positions are likely to change on the Giants' defense when they try to end a three-game losing streak Sunday against the San Diego Chargers at Giants Stadium.

    Two weeks ago, the Giants had the No. 1 defense in the N.F.L. Now they can't seem to stop anybody.

    While the consensus is that the Giants are a 4- or 5-point favorite against the Chargers, my system is telling me the matchup is much more even.
