Steven Jackson: As consistent as they come
Posted on Thursday, October 21, 2010
Steven Jackson seemed destined to be one of those great players that will never win anything. After his best season in 2006 where the Rams finished a respectable 8-8, St. Louis was a hot pick to make the next jump into the playoffs in ’07. I remember Trey Wingo liking the Rams for the Super [...]
Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 6
Posted on Tuesday, October 19, 2010
At the very least, this football season is interesting. No unbeatens, yet plenty of teams who appear to be among the elite one week, only to quickly fall from grace (what up Atlanta Falcons). This makes for a very interesting fantasy season, where true studs seem to be hard to come by. Thus far, there [...]
Brandon Lloyd: Risky Business
Posted on Friday, October 15, 2010
I had an article due today, and to be honest I didn’t really know what to write about. There are plenty of ho-hum ideas out there; Deion Branch was recently traded back to the Patriots (no fantasy impact in case you’re wondering), Vincent Jackson apparently will report to the San Diego Chargers but won’t play [...]
Jamaal Charles not getting his due?
Posted on Wednesday, October 13, 2010
I believe that Jamaal Charles could be a Top 5 running back in fantasy football. I will even go so far as to say that I believe he could be a Top 5 overall RB in real football. Apparently the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, Todd Haley, doesn’t feel the same, however. This [...]
Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 5
Posted on Tuesday, October 12, 2010
Let the year of mediocrity continue. Last year, we had the Saints and Colts flirt with perfect seasons; this year we already lost the one undefeated team. I think I kind of prefer it that way, but I do miss having that one team that ESPN spends all their time talking about and I spend [...]
Tom Brady’s Stock Falling?
Posted on Saturday, October 9, 2010
I’m sure that Bill Belichick called Tom Brady at some point Wednesday to let him know that Randy Moss was traded to the Minnesota Vikings. I’m also pretty sure that the conversation went like this, at least from Belichick’s end: “Hey Tom, how’s it goin? Ah, so you already heard. Yup, traded him for a [...]
Fantasy Impact of the Randy Moss to Minnesota deal
Posted on Wednesday, October 6, 2010
Randy Moss, a Viking once again, and for a third round pick. I don’t think I could even get Randy Moss for that low of a pick in Madden. Even the game knows better than that. A few months ago, I wrote a quick response to the fantasy impact that Sidney Rice’s surgery would have. [...]
Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 4
Posted on Tuesday, October 5, 2010
Well, my waiver wire claim of the week finally failed to perform up to the standards that I expect. Justin Forsett, why do you choose to do this to me? Sure, you received by far the majority of the touches and you looked like you were ready to break one at any time, but that [...]
Michael Vick: Should you trade him?
Posted on Friday, October 1, 2010
What’s the story of the NFL season thus far? Perhaps the redemption (or people forgetting that he cruelly abused animals because now he throws TDs, so it’s all good) of Michael Vick fits the bill. Regardless of what your personal feelings are for Vick, you have to admit that since he took control of the [...]
Aaron Rodgers: a fantasy disappointment?
Posted on Wednesday, September 29, 2010
Monday, the national sports media grieved as their prematurely anointed champions, the Green Bay Packers, actually lost a game. Seriously, the amount of hype that this team was/is getting was second to none. Apparently, performing well in the preseason elicits responses like “It’s just preseason!” or “The game didn’t even matter!” when the subject is [...]
