Is Fred Jackson This Year’s DeAngelo Williams?
Of the 5 fantasy football leagues that we were in last year, 4 were won by whoever had DeAngelo Williams. Williams dropped 20 TD’s last season and went from undrafted waiver wire wonder to a first round pick this season.
It wasn’t that Williams scored dramatically more than everyone else (which he did), Williams value was [...]
Captain Obvious Statement of the Day: Vick Will Play Sunday
ESPN just reported that The Longest Yard Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick will play on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Donovan McNabb will probably miss his second straight game with a broken rib and Kevin Kolb has thrown for 414 yards already this season. Jeff Garcia is already on the roster, but Eagles offensive [...]
IS ESPN Patriots’ Biased?
Maybe I am too much of a Buffalo Bills’ apologist. Maybe I am sick of my team losing 12 straight games to the New England Patriots. Either way, Pro Football Talk has a great article on the conflict of interest that exists with ESPN hiring Kraft Sports Group to sell local advertising for ESPNBoston.com. Robert [...]
Are the Pats Done Already?
The offensive line looks porous. The defense has no identity, and Tom Terrific can’t do it all by himself. The once feared Pats look more than mortal, and should be 0-2 to start the season if not for Buffalo’s innovative ability to choke a game away. The schedule isn’t getting any more forgiving, either.
Our question: [...]
Ochocinco Has Spanish-Themed Touchdown Dance for Steelers
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco is having a great start to his season with nine catches for 180 yards and one touchdown. After scoring last week at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers, Ochocinco did the Lambeau Leap. He plans on following this touchdown dance with a Spanish-themed dance for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Will [...]
Will Justin Tuck Miss Sunday’s Game?
The New York Giants are being labeled by some as the best team in the NFL, but the team could be losing one of their defensive stars for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Defensive end Justin Tuck injured his left shoulder in the Giants’ 33-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys after he was [...]
Fantasy Update: Start Felix Jones
Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber will miss 1-2 weeks with a quadriceps strain. Former Arkansas running back Felix Jones will start for the Cowboys while Tashard Choice will also see some carries. Jones is averaging 9.1 yards per carry on the season and rushed for 96 yards on only seven carries in the loss [...]
Fantasy Update: Falcons Lose Jerry For Season
If the Atlanta Falcons are going to make the Super Bowl, they are going to need their defense to play better than they did last season. The Falcons drafted former Ole Miss defensive tackle Peria Jerry with their first round pick and the rookie suffered a season-ending knee injury and will miss the rest of [...]
NFL Power Rankings
1) Pittsburgh Steelers – Willie Parker and the offensive line both struggled in the win over the Tennessee Titans, but Ben Roethlisberger proved why this team is the best time in the NFL. The Troy Polamalu injury will hurt the defense, but James Harrison will make sure the defense doesn’t take a step back.
2) Philadelphia [...]
Peyton to Get Fat Raise
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning will have a new contract in 2010, before his deal expires. The interesting part here is that the Colts will soon be a team on the decline and if Manning gets a fat new raise, this team will have no money to spread around to other players. Rookie running back [...]
