Fantasy Projections News

With the release of Chiefs running back Larry Johnson this week, it puts into question several things and means there may be some adjustments to fantasy teams going forward. However, the real question is will LJ find a new team and will he ever play again. Read the rest of this entry »

The 2009 fantasy football season has been a very interesting one through the first six weeks of the year. We’ve seen many breakout players that no one really expected, and we’ve definitely seen our share of busts as well. Today we’re going to focus on the overachievers of the fantasy football world and which are the most meaningful fantasy football surprises.

Let’s give some respect to the guys who have gone above and beyond the call of duty so far. Having impressed just about everyone out there, here are three players we all wish we drafted when we had the opportunity to get them. Read the rest of this entry »

Kellen Winslow. eventually, the move to Tampa Bay to play with the Buccaneers ought to rejuvenate his career.  In 2009, with so a bunch of uncertainty at the QB role, it’s probably sound to assume he won’t be generating stats similar to ’07. However, he ought to be a viable target for Byron Leftwich, in addition to a safety net for Josh Freeman (as soon as he’s prepared), so his catch total may be decent.

The following are more Fantasy Football Tight Ends that could be busts for fantasy football owners. Read the rest of this entry »

SAN DIEGO (AP)—LaDainian Tomlinson(notes) has been ruled out of the San Diego Chargers’ home opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday due to a sprained ankle, just the second time the star running back will miss a start due to injury in his brilliant nine-year career.

If you haven’t already, try to get Sproles.  LT is an over rated has been.  Running backs his size don’t last too long in the big leagues.  If you drafted him like I did in round 1, just keep him in your back pocket for now.

1. Drew Brees: Brees was simply the best quarterback in the NFL last year, and he’s a superstar. Especially when it comes to fantasy leagues. Brees had a handful of monster games last season, and it’s safe to say that this season should be no different. Bonus points when you factor in Colston’s return.

2. Tom Brady: I’d be tempted to put him at #1, but his rustiness could be an issue at the beginning of the season and it remains to be seen how well he’s recovered from injury. He’s looked strong in the preseason, but that’s no sure thing. Now that we’ve thrown out the risk factors, Brady is a fantasy stud and could easily be the best in football.

Who didn’t predict this a mile away? I was certain that the instant your teammate and fellow crybaby, Jay Cutler, was traded you were going to throw a temper tantrum like a spoiled little child who couldn’t have ice cream. You must grow up!

Brandon, you encompass all the skill in the world and you are blowing it! How many idle Americans (myself included) would die for the insane amount of money you earn undeservedly. Read the rest of this entry »

If you are lucky enough to get the coveted first spot in your fantasy football league this year, take Turner. I know what you’re thinking. What about Adrian Peterson? He is sick. The guy is freakier than Paula Abdul in room full of young male singers. He’s got explosion, speed, and the necessary power to punch it in at the goal line. He is a stud.

I’m watching the playoffs this weekend and noticing a few things that may help my fantasy football 2009 team.  One, Joe Flacco is certainly a better QB that many give him credit for.  In fact, I’m wondering why isn’t Joe rookie of the year.  Where is Matt at these days.  Not that they both didn’t have good years, and maybe over the course of the season Matt did enough to deserve the award, but why was Joe not even considered.  There wasn’t one vote for him as the #1 candidate for Rookie of the Year, despite being one of two rookies to play every game and lead their team to the playoffs.

This hasn’t been one of the better seasons for the Chargers, but they are getting some good play from Darren Sproles.  With LT being bothered by a toe injury this year, Sproles has gotten more playing time and a chance to showcase his skills for the NFL.  Like Turner who ran in the shadow of LT for many years and is now having a breakout season starting for Atlanta, Sproles could also be the one to provide a huge boost to a running game if given the opportunity to produce on a regular basis.  Read the rest of this entry »

The Eagles are done.  Drop McNabb, keep Westbrook as a secondary RB if you have him and start looking on your wires for another pick if you have the chance.  Better yet, if you got some moron in your league, make the trade if your deadline is still open.  Reid doesn’t give a damn anymore, and McNabb is an over rated has been.  Westbrook is too banged up to be a solid consistent RB anymore.

As a fantasy sports owner of Donovan McNabb I have to wonder what is going on with game lately.  Has McNabb lost his edge? I have to ask myself in week 12, with the playoffs on the line, if I should I Sit or Start Donovan McNabb.

The reality is that he has been getting picked a lot this year and doesn’t seem as mobile as he was in the past.  Read the rest of this entry »

Here is some Tony Romo Fantasy Football advice.  I have Tony Romo in one of my leagues, and like you, I have awaited his return with abated breath.  However, as much as I wanted to start him, I decided to bench him for week 11.  I played QB Kansas City Thigpen instead and I’ll tell you why.
