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

QB Gus Frerotte, Minnesota Vikings
Although not considered a top fantasy football quarterback in 2008 by any means, Gus Frerotte has certainly exceeded expectations. He has thrown for at least one touchdown pass in each of his starts except for one game. In his last three games, he has six touchdown passes. Going up against an overrated Jacksonville Jaguars defense, Frerotte should continue to produce.
RB Fred Jackson, Buffalo Bills
Fred Jackson has emerged as one of the better backup running backs in the NFL in 2008. In Week 12, Jackson and the Bills take on the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have …read more

If any of these players are available on the waiver wire of your fantasy football league, don’t hesitate to pick them up ASAP. These players are more than capable of helping you win a fantasy football championship in 2008.
QB Tyler Thigpen, Kansas City Chiefs
Entering the 2008 fantasy football season, Tyler Thigpen was the third quarterback on the Chiefs depth chart. Now Thigpen has ascended to the starting spot and he’s producing very well. He appears to be a legit quarterback and is very likely Kansas City’s QB of the future. Pick him up now and he can serve as a …read more

QB Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens have actually turned it around offensively and that has allowed them to win their last three games. In that span, the Ravens are averaging 31 points per game. Rookie quarterback Joe Flacco deserves a lot of credit and with two touchdowns in each of his last two games, he’s a good bet to be productive in his Week 10 matchup against the Houston Texans.
RB Darren Sproles, San Diego Chargers
With the Chargers hosting the Kansas City Chiefs this week, it’s a great time to gamble on a big game from Darren Sproles. The Chiefs have …read more

Antonio Gates – Coming off of an injury, Antonio Gates might need until midseason to be 100%.
Todd Heap – Speaking of injuries, Todd Heap is the walking injury bug. Simply can’t trust him.
Tony Scheffler – Very good talent but Tony Scheffler is still a work in progress as an NFL player.

QB Eli Manning, New York Giants
Six weeks ago, there were questions whether Eli Manning was a good enough quarterback to be considered the New York Giants’ quarterback of the future. Now Manning sits as the Super Bowl MVP and the guy who single-handedly beat the unbeatable New England Patriots. His numbers don’t blow you away but his poise and big play ability were off the charts. Amazing game and amazing playoff run for Manning.
RB Ahmad Bradshaw, New York Giants
Ahmad Bradshaw came off the bench and again provided a spark for the Giants. On nine carries, Bradshaw led the Giants with …read more

Trying to figure out who to start on your Super Bowl fantasy football team? Check out this lineup:
QB Tom Brady, New England Patriots
Forget about the walking boot. Brady is going to be ready to dominate in the Super Bowl. While he faces a tough defense, Brady is good enough to overcome just about anything at this point. With a chance to cement this Patriots team as perhaps the best team of all-time, expect Brady to bring his A game.
RB Laurence Maroney, New England Patriots
Maroney was a fantasy bust for much of the regular season. However, …read more

QB Brett Favre, Green Bay Packers
With Favre playing a home game for a chance to make the Super Bowl, how could you not love to have him on your fantasy football team? He played very well last week against the Seattle Seahawks, as he lead a barrage of scoring drives to dig his team out of an early hole. Expect Favre to be slinging it around the field and finish with at least a pair of touchdowns to his name.

QB David Garrard, Jacksonville Jaguars
Garrard isn’t a big name in the fantasy football world but he quietly had a great season. This season he finished with 18 touchdowns and only three interceptions. While he faces a tough Pittsburgh Steelers defense, Garrard had three touchdown passes against the Steelers in Week 15.
RB Earnest Graham, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
It’s tough calling Graham a sleeper these days after his great season, but Graham still doesn’t receive the respect he’s due in fantasy football. Graham had ten touchdowns this year despite not being the full-time starter. This week against the New York Giants, the …read more

QB Brodie Croyle, Kansas City Chiefs
Truth be told, Croyle hasn’t been very good this season. He lost the starting job in preseason and when he’s gotten a chance to play during the season, he hasn’t done anything of note. That said, the Chiefs are playing against the struggling Detroit Lions this week. If Croyle is ever going to play well, now could be the time. If you are desperate QB, pick him up.
RB Dominic Rhodes, Oakland Raiders
With Justin Fargas getting hurt on Sunday, the starting job in Oakland looks to be headed into Rhodes’ hands. …read more
