RB Brandon Jacobs, New York Giants
Already ruled out for Week 15 of the fantasy football season, be sure to take Brandon Jacobs out of your fantasy starting lineup. Expect Derrick Ward to get the start, although Ahman Bradshaw will likely also get a number of carries.

RB Marion Barber III, Dallas Cowboys
Marion Barber III took some criticism last week for not playing. Considering that fact, there’s a good chance he’ll do his all to play in Week 15. The backup running back option for the Cowboys is currently Tashard Choice.
QB Gus Frerotte, Minnesota Vikings
Listed as doubtful, it doesn’t appear as …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 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

QUARTERBACKS
Vince Young, Tennessee Titans
Kerry Collins will start in place of Vince Young, who is expected to miss up to a month with a knee injury.
RUNNING BACK
LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers
Although he’s being listed as questionable, many expect LaDainian Tomlinson to play in Week 2. He has a toe injury but should be able to tough it out.
Ryan Grant, Green Bay Packers
Ryan Grant has been listed as questionable for most of the week. He was able to practice on Friday so expect him to play.
Marion Barber III, Dallas Cowboys
After injuring his ribs in Week 1, many fantasy owners worried …read more

Fantasy Quarterbacks
Tom Brady, New England Patriots
Word out of New England is that Tom Brady has suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season. If true, this is obviously devastating news to both the Patriots and fantasy owners.
Vince Young, Tennessee Titans
A few reports are saying that Vince Young has torn his MCL in his knee. If true, the knee injury will sideline Young for around a month.
Brodie Croyle, Kansas City Chiefs
After suffering a shoulder injury, Brodie Croyle left the game for the Chiefs. Early indications point to him missing at least a few weeks.

This offseason, there have been a lot of rumors surrounding Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson. First the two were supposedly close to getting married. Then Romo and Simpson supposedly broke up. Now the two were last spotted together at the wedding of Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz.
With all this media attention, some fantasy football owners are worried that Romo may be distracted and won’t produce as well as expected in 2008. While it’s definitely a valid concern, I wouldn’t worry too much.
Romo has long been known as a guy who liked to have fun. He …read more

Marion Barber III, the projected starting running back for the Dallas Cowboys in 2008, got a seven-year contract on Tuesday. The contract is reportedly worth approximately $45 – with about one-third of the contract guaranteed.
The fact that the Cowboys and Barber were able to agree on a contract is good news for both parties. Barber got the money and the recognition he wanted. The Cowboys locked up a major part of their offense.
In the last two season, Barber has been very good for Dallas. In 2006, he had 654 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns. In …read more

The worst kept secret of the 2008 NFL draft was the fact that the Dallas Cowboys were interested in Felix Jones. That interest became reality when Dallas selected Jones with the 22nd pick of the first round.

Jones will be able to be a difference maker right away for the Cowboys. With Julius Jones now with the Seattle Seahawks, Felix Jones will be able to get carries. However, it’s important to note that Marion Barber III will likely be the running back who gets the most carries for the Cowboys in 2008.
Barber is an up-and-coming running back who …read more

Marion Barber is technically a free agent but you’d be hard pressed to find someone who believes that Barber isn’t going to start for the Dallas Cowboys next season. The only way Barber isn’t the starter for the Cowboys is if the team trades him for someone like Darren McFadden. But even that type of trade sounds extremely unlikely.
Chances are great that Barber will re-sign with the Cowboys and get plenty of carries in 2008. The biggest news regarding the Cowboys’ backfield is the departure of Julius Jones. Jones, who was technically the starter in 2007, isn’t expected to be …read more

Nothing like a big stage like the playoffs to show off what you can do to the people who will be looking for next year’s next big thing.
By Guest Blogger, Ron Bishow
The playoffs may not have any direct fantasy implications, but it can be a very telling time when looking for players who might be worth drafting next season.
When you get into crunch time coaches only go to the guys they really have faith in, and quarterbacks only throw to players they have total faith in. It is one thing to go with a guy during the regular …read more
