After three weeks of the 2009 fantasy football season, we can start looking at which players have been disappointments thus far. While the fantasy football season is still young, these players might not have the wherewithal to turn it around.
QB Matt Cassel, Kansas City Chiefs
After being traded to the Chiefs in the offseason, big things were expected from Cassel. So far, not so good. In Week 3, he passed for only 90 yards. While he did have two touchdowns, that type of yardage makes him a questionable fantasy start at quarterback for the time being.
RB Matt Forte, Chicago Bears
In most …read more

In Week 1 of the fantasy football season, there are a lot of very good matchups on paper for fantasy studs. Here’s a look at the best of the best matchups that we have located for fantasy football’s Week 1:

On Monday Night Football, Tom Brady goes against a Buffalo Bills team that seems to have horrible chemistry.
RB Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings
As Brett Favre loosens up his aging body, expect the Vikings to give the rock to Adrian Peterson early and often.
WR Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals
The last we saw Larry Fitzgerald he was setting all-time NFL …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.

2. Andre Johnson, Houston Texans

QB Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts
At the end of the fantasy football season, Peyton Manning was arguably the best fantasy quarterback in the game. In the 2009 NFL Pro Bowl, he was once again very good. He finished the game with a touchdown and more than 150 yards passing.
RB Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings
Most experts agree that Adrian Peterson is the most talented running back in the NFL. In the Pro Bowl, he illustrated some of his talents. On eight rushes, Peterson had 48 yards and a touchdown. His score came on a ten-yard scamper in the second quarter.
WR Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona …read more

QB Kurt Warner, Arizona Cardinals
Although the Cardinals lost the Super Bowl, it wasn’t Kurt Warner’s fault. He had a very good game, especially in the fantasy football world. He finished the Super Bowl with three touchdowns, one interception and 377 passing yards.
RB Willie Parker, Pittsburgh Steelers
No running back in the Super Bowl had much of an impact. Willie Parker was the best but he didn’t help out too much. In 19 rushes, Parker picked up 53 yards. The Steelers had a rushing touchdown but it came courtesy of backup RB Gary Russell.
WR Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals
Early on, it looked …read more

Whether you are playing playoff fantasy football or just getting a jump on 2009 fantasy football, you have to be very impressed with what Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals has done recently. He’s arguably been the best player in the entire NFL during the playoffs.

1. Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals
In the 2009 NFL playoffs, Larry Fitzgerald is playing the best football of his career. He’s catching jump balls and running precise routes. Even though the Cardinals are the underdog this week and going against a stout Eagles defense, Fitzgerald is the best wide receiver option in the fantasy world.
2. Hines Ward, Pittsburgh Steelers
If you want a solid wide receiver who will thrive in the physical matchup between the Steelers and Ravens, look no further than Hines Ward. He’ll find a way to haul in some catches and make plays. When Ben Roethlisberger gets in trouble, …read more

Young gun is best receiving threat for Eagles.

QB Donovan McNabb, Philadelphia Eagles
A week after being benched, Donovan McNabb responded in a big way in Week 13 on Thanksgiving. McNabb had four touchdown passes to go along with 260 yards and no interceptions. Although he was going against the below average Arizona Cardinals defense, this performance bodes well for upcoming weeks.

RB Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia Eagles
McNabb wasn’t the only Eagles player who had a breakout game. Brian Westbrook, who had been slowed lately due to injury, had a huge day. Westbrook finished the game with four total touchdowns — two rushing and two receiving. If McNabb can get back …read more

QB Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Going up against the Oakland Raiders, Drew Brees should have a good game in Week 6. You can expect him to be pass happy and he will likely finish with at least two touchdowns. He looks even like a better start with Marques Colston and Jeremy Shockey possibly returning.
RB Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings
Coming into the season, many fantasy football owners thought Adrian Peterson would be the best running back of 2008. Although he hasn’t been dominant all season, he’s starting to elevate his game. Going forward, it appears as if Peterson is the best RB …read more
