Going with an overrated fantasy football player can make the difference between a victory and a loss. Here’s a look at some overrated players for Week 9 of the 2009 fantasy football season.
QB Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
Although Tony Romo is playing very well as of late, the Cowboys tend to struggle in Philadelphia. Don’t be too high on him solely based on his recent play.
RB Pierre Thomas, New Orleans Saints
Pierre Thomas is scoring touchdowns but he’s quietly losing his grip on the running back job in New Orleans. Mike Bell is getting more than a fair share of carries and …read more

In 2009 fantasy football drafts, there are a lot of intriguing wide receiving prospects. If you don’t like a running back or a quarterback in the first or second round, one of these wide receivers may be your choice. Here’s a look at the top of our wide receiver rankings for the 2009 fantasy football season.
1. Randy Moss, New England Patriots
Sure, he’s getting up there in years but with Tom Brady back in charge, the sky is the limit for Randy Moss.
2. Andre Johnson, Houston Texans
He had a somewhat slow start last season but Andre Johnson is in an offense …read more

QB Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Capping off a masterful season, Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw for 386 yards and four touchdowns. He finished the season with more than 5000 passing yards — a number that made him a fantasy football favorite all season long. Going into 2009, Brees has to be a top flight QB option in the fantasy world.

RB Michael Bush, Oakland Raiders
In their stunning victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Raiders running back Michael Bush proved he has NFL level talent. He ran for two touchdowns and 177 yards. Although the Raiders will likely build their future running …read more

QB Matt Cassel, New England Patriots
Matt Cassel has looked so good at times this year for the Patriots that some fans are even considering the possibility of trading Tom Brady. While that talk is obviously crazy, Cassel was good again in Week 15. He finished the game against the Oakland Raiders with 218 yards and four touchdown passes.
RB Dominic Rhodes, Indianapolis Colts
The Colts were without Joseph Addai in Week 15. No worrise, Dominic Rhodes was more than able to pick up the slack against the Detroit Lions. Rhodes finished Week 15 with two touchdowns to go along with 116 yards.
WR …read more

QB Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts
Although Peyton Manning hasn’t had the best of seasons, he has a very easy matchup in Week 12. Going against the San Diego Chargers, who have statistically the worst pass defense in the NFL, Manning should have a big day. Look for the Colts to pass early and often — as this game has the possiblity of being a shootout.
RB Marion Barber III, Dallas Cowboys
With Tony Romo back at quarterback, running room will open up for Marion Barber. While Romo was out, Barber struggled — which wasn’t too surprising. Against the San Francisco 49ers, look …read more

QB Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Arguably the best fantasy football quarterback in 2008 has a good matchup in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons. Although the Falcons are better than expected, opponents have had some success passing against their defense. Expect Brees to have approximately 300 yards and two touchdowns.
RB LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers
A lot of fantasy owners have considered LaDainian Tomlinson somewhat of a bust this season. But Tomlinson should rise to the head of the pack in Week 10 against the amazingly weak run defense of the Kansas City Chiefs. LT has looked better recently and this …read more

QB Donovan McNabb, Philadelphia Eagles
Coming off of a bye week, Donovan McNabb should have a fine week in fantasy football. Not only will he be rested, but his wide receiving corps seems to be getting healthy. Expect McNabb to have at least two touchdown passes against the Atlanta Falcons.
RB Clinton Portis, Washington Redskins
Not only has Clinton Portis been the best running back in fantasy football, he is going against the Detroit Lions this week. That combination makes Portis a fantastic start in Week 8. Over a hundred yards and at least on touchdown should be his minimum production.
WR Andre Johnson, …read more

QB Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts
Last week, Peyton Manning finally looked like Peyton Manning. The Colts quarterback had by far his best game. His struggles earlier in the season could very well be chalked up to the multiple knee surgeries he had in the offseason. Expect Manning to continue his good play in Week 7.
RB Marion Barber III, Dallas Cowboys
Going against the St. Louis Rams, Marion Barber III should get a whole lot of work. No matter if Tony Romo or Brad Johnson starts at quarterback, Barber will be called upon to keep the pressure of the QB. This is a …read more

QB Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
Although the Cowboys had a tough loss against the Arizona Cardinals, quarterback Tony Romo had a good day fantasy football wise. He had 321 yards and three touchdowns, including a late 70-yard connection with running back Marion Barber III.
RB Maurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville Jaguars
Early in the game, Fred Taylor got shaken up and ended up missing most of the contest. Maurice Jones-Drew stepped in and filled in admirably, as he finished with 148 yards and two touchdowns. When given a healthy amount of touches, Jones-Drew is as deadly as any fantasy running back in the NFL.
WR …read more

1. Randy Moss – The Brady to Moss connection will be seen plenty.
2. Terrell Owens – Owens is only other WR in Moss’ class.
3. Reggie Wayne – With Harrison aging, it’s time for Wayne to bring pain.
4. Andre Johnson – When healthy, as good as anyone.
5. Braylon Edwards – High risk, high reward in 2008 fantasy football.
