Commish's Fantasy Sports Updates

Sorry so late, let’s get right to the injury updates …

Brett Favre [QB, Vikings]

Favre will have to pass a post-concussion test and obtain clearance from an independent neurologist.  If he can’t, it won’t matter whether Favre or coach Brad Childress want him to play.  Favre simply won’t be permitted to play.

As always, you can expect Favre to suit up. Read the rest of this entry »

2011 NFL Draft prospect, LSU Cornerback Patrick Peterson, has been working his way up draft boards and is now considered the top defensive back option. Draft analyst Mike Detillier thinks that Peterson is the best CB prospect out of the SEC since that Champ Bailey guy. Read the rest of this entry »

I rode the subway today for the first time in nearly five weeks to get to and from an appointment. And I was all alone. Sans baby. It was like I forgot my wallet or only wore one shoe or something…a bizarro world for sure. I mean I even read a book. I know it sounds pretty minor but it was a flash back to my old life, friends. And in my old life I might have had more time to grab dudes off the waiver wire early enough to not get stuck with starting Kenneth Darby…which is how things went in Week 8 (and by a miracle I somehow still won in that league) so here’s hoping you’re not reaching super deep like I was last week.

Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan offered a third excuse for Donovan McNabb’s late-game benching, stating that McNabb knew there was a chance he would be pulled due to his hamstring injury. Read the rest of this entry »

Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan suggested that no signing is imminent with the Redskins working out free agent QB JaMarcus Russell. Read the rest of this entry »

Remember: The Seattle Seahawks had to face Oakland with a depleted secondary. DHB burned cornerback Nate Ness – who? – on his deep TD catch. It won’t be that easy each week for the sophomore speedster. At this point in the year, DHB might cause receiver-desperate teams to overbid on him. I’d rather target Chaz Schilens for late-season speculation at a much cheaper price, but then again, none of my teams are screaming for me to add Heyward-Bey. Read the rest of this entry »

Randy Moss has been waived by the Minnesota Vikings. What does this mean for Moss and the Vikes? Read the rest of this entry »

Even a bye week could not help the Indianapolis Colts’ injury situation.

Dallas Clark is done for the year. Austin Collie will miss several weeks. Joseph Addai is highly questionable for Monday night. Donald Brown may not even be ready to go. And is Anthony Gonzalez healthy yet or not? Read the rest of this entry »

Injuries and a slew of bye weeks — six teams! — are causing havoc with fantasy owners this week. Only a few weeks of byes left, and I know fantasy owners will be glad when they are all said and done.

Week 8 Byes: Falcons, Ravens, Bears, Browns, Giants, Eagles Read the rest of this entry »

Coming into the 2010 season things were looking up for Tony Romo with the addition of Dez Bryant and the retention of Miles Austin. This guy right here had Romo leading a couple of fantasy squads with certain playoff berths in the future. Now…not so sure. There are moves to be made for those that do not have a solid backup for Romo on their squad. What to do…what to do…? Read the rest of this entry »

The NFC East is always a question mark as to who will come out on top and usually has a race down the line. The New York Giants are proving to be the team to beat in the division and will likely win the division if not a first round bye in the NFC. Their 5-2 record is tops in the NFC East and tied for the best record in the NFC. Read the rest of this entry »
