NFL’s Best at Every Offensive Position

By

With one week left to go in regular season play, fans usually fall into one of two categories at this juncture. There is either increased intensity because of an imminent postseason run, or there is a malaise due to unmet expectations. The fantasy component or monetary wagers can assist in making the games relevant for some. I have decided to hand out my honors a week … [Read more...] about NFL’s Best at Every Offensive Position

Giants Benching of Ahmad Bradshaw is Quite Puzzling

By

New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw has only played in nine games this season. The fifth year Marshall product is averaging four yards per carry thus far and is an effective contrast to the bruising style of Brandon Jacobs. Keeping the defense on its toes is a major factor in the effectiveness of any offensive unit in the NFL. My favorite hobby while viewing any … [Read more...] about Giants Benching of Ahmad Bradshaw is Quite Puzzling

We’re three weeks into the fantasy football season and the surprises just keep on coming. Cam Newton and Matthew Stafford are top-10 fantasy quarterbacks.

Week 2 Fantasy Football Rankings: Building on a strong week

By

If we learned one thing about the NFL in week one: the lockout certainly did not slow down the offensive numbers.  A ridiculous 14 quarterbacks had more than 300 yards, four of which went over 400. 13 receivers topped 100 yards, including seven double-digit touchdown performances. Needless to say, fantasy teams weren’t suffering. Now it’s time to build on that success and … [Read more...] about Week 2 Fantasy Football Rankings: Building on a strong week

Week 1 Fantasy Football Rankings: Football is Back!

By

We endured an offseason consisting of men in suits walking in and out of buildings. We endured a three-month stretch when the work “lockout” might as well have been preceded by a four-letter word. But courtrooms, politics, and league lawyers are now a thing of the past. Because ladies and gentleman, we’re finally here! The start of the NFL season is here! … [Read more...] about Week 1 Fantasy Football Rankings: Football is Back!

Fantasy Football Experts Mock Draft:Round 5

By

Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Round 6 Round 5 Pick 1 Ryan Lester- Lester’s Legends Pick: RB Joseph Addai IND Taking a rookie RB, even if he is in a great situation like Mattews, is a bit risky. Addai is a productive back, and perhaps even more important, one that Manning trusts. He can produce on the ground and through the air. Quality RBs are drying up, … [Read more...] about Fantasy Football Experts Mock Draft:Round 5
