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.

This year I had the unique honor of drafting first in one league, as well as the unlucky honor of drafting last in one league.  Normally this wouldn’t be that big of a deal and just a coincidence, but there is an added twist to this story that makes it great for using as a test case for fantasy football draft research and how it effects teams.  It wasn’t just my team that had this coincidence this year, but FantasyGirl also plays in both leagues and had the exact same draft spots but in reverse leagues.  The league I drafted first, she drafted last, and vice-versa in the other league.  This makes for an interesting observation of how the fantasy football draft research can make or break your season before you’ve even had a chance to pick.

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.

Willie Parker of the Pittsburgh Steelers hasn’t played since week 3.  He has been bothered by a sprained knee and has been trying to come back for weeks.  However, it looks like he may be suiting up this week.  He has practiced two days in a row and is listed as day to day.  This means that there is a good chance he could start this week and may be a good fantasy option.  Mike Tomlin, the Steelers coach has said that Parker is looking good and he does expect him to play this week.

On Monday nights, some of us are trailing in fantasy points hoping that our remaining players do something worthy enough to squeak by a win.  Monday night’s Titans vs. Colts proved that a good tight end can be a boon to any fantasy football team.  Dallas Clark, the Colt’s starting tight end, racked up the points with 7 receptions, 94 yards, and 2 TDs.  If you have a good tight end on Monday night football, it does wonders for your optimism and gives you a better chance than most.
