Who To Start, Who To Sit–Week 5

Quarterbacks

Start:  Eli Manning, New York Giants vs. Seattle Seahawks. Since winning the Super Bowl, it seems that there is a new quarterback in New York, and it’s not Brett Favre.  Coming off their bye, the Giants will be playing the Seattle Seahawks, and that is good news for Eli Manning owners.  In two career games against the Seahawks, Manning has thrown for…

The Kid, The ‘Cane, and The Old Timer Pick Week 4

Another disaster of a week for the Terrible Trio.  Donn “The Old Timer” Hallam had the worst week of the three going 5-11 and losing his pick of the week.  After leading this competition through the first week, he was asked in his weekly press conference about how he has now fallen so far behind his opponents, Hallam screamed, “They are who we thought they were!” repeatedly, no matter what…

On The Radar–Week 4

Steve Smith, WR, New York Giants. After having an injury plagued season, Steve Smith made a nice impact at the end of the season and playoff runs as the Giants won the Super Bowl. With this team mandated suspension for Week 5 or Plaxico Burress, Smith becomes a sneaky good play next week. Smith had just four…

Been Disappointed? They Will Be Back!

1. Chad Johnson, WR, Cincinnati Bengals. Ocho Cinco has been Ocho Stinko in 2008, as last season’s receiving yards leader has been possibly the biggest disappointment this NFL season. Through three weeks, Johnson has just eight catches for 88 yards and no scores. Considering all the attention that Johnson craves, he needs to do more than he has…

Injury News and Analysis - September 24th 2008

Well this is likely going to be the final twice weekly post for the injury news and analysis since the regular season will be wrapping up.  I will definitely be posting important news throughout the post-season and off-season as it comes up regarding injuries.  This year we have seen an increase in the number of injuries but it seems a lot worse based on who it effected.  I’d like to thank…

Who to Start/Who to Sit–Week 4

Quarterbacks

Start: Carson Palmer, Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns. Do you remember last year’s game between these two teams? If not, I will refresh your memory with Palmer’s line. 33/50 for 401 yards and SIX touchdowns. Now, I’m not saying to expect that kind of production again, but now that the Bengals have shown some sort of life, coupled with the fact that the Browns defense…

Week 3 Recap

Miami Dolphins 38, New England Patriots 13

Holy @#%$^#!!!!!! Who saw this one coming???? Ronnie Brown was the story in this game as he ran for four touchdowns and actually threw for another. There were multiple plays that Brown lined up as the QB and either ran the ball or threw it, including the score to Anthony Fasano…

Injury News and Analysis - September 21st

Evan Longoria

Well 3 HR in one game answered any questions about his wrist/forearm strength.  It’s safe to assume that he is fully healthy from the fractured tip of the ulna.  Technically this is different from a fractured wrist and it actually has responded differently as well despite being in the same general area.  Everyone in Tampa has to be very relieved that there appears to be no long term damage.

Ben…

Who To Start, Who To Sit–Week 3

Everyone knows to start Peyton Manning, Adrian Peterson, and Larry Fitzgerald, but who can really help your fantasy team this coming week?   Here they are:

Quarterbacks

Start:  Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers vs. New York Jets.  Rivers has been hitting on all cylinders through the first two games, as he has thrown six touchdowns already.  And with the injury concerns with LaDainian Tomlinson, the Chargers offense will be forced to rely even…
