Ronnie Brown was on his way to have the best season of his career. However, that all changed after he hurt his foot in Week 10. Further tests determined that Brown will miss the remainder of the 2009 fantasy football season.
For fantasy owners, this is devastating news. Brown was undervalued heading into fantasy drafts and has been a very consistent players so far this season.
Now the main running back on the Miami Dolphins will be Ricky Williams. The good news for the Dolphins is that Williams has arguably been the best backup running back in the NFL this season. He’s …read more

Last season, Antonio Bryant was a fantasy football star. This season? Not so much. Hampered by a knee injury since training camp, Bryant will miss his second straight game this week when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers go up against the Miami Dolphins.
Bryant didn’t even make the trip to Miami so he’s definitely out for the game. Stylez G. White also failed to make the trip.
If you are looking for a fantasy football sleeper who may emerge due to the Antonio Bryant injury, consider Sammie Stroughter. Stroughter leads the Bucs wide receivers in catches and is coming off a game …read more

Laveranues Coles is no longer a member of the New York Jets. An unrestricted free agent, Coles is free to sign with any team in the NFL.
Going into the 2008 fantasy football season, Coles was the number one wide receiver on the Jets. Although he had his moments, he never seemed to click with quarterback Brett Favre. The result was a very uneven season that saw his overall production fall.
For New York, this move will likely mean that Jerricho Cotchery will likely become the team’s leading receiver. Cotchery, as a result, gets a boost in his fantasy value with this …read more

QB Matt Schaub, Houston Texans
Although he’s still out injured Matt Schaub should be returning in one of the upcoming weeks. There’s even a chance that he may be ready to go in Week 14. Once he gets back on the field, Schaub very well could be a top ten starter the rest of the way. If he’s available on your Week 14 waiver wire, go ahead and pick him up.
RB Brandon Jackson, Green Bay Packers
Ryan Grant has had a disappointing season and now he even has an injury. While the injury isn’t considered severe, Brandon Jackson has looked better than …read more

RB Clinton Portis, Washington Redskins
Although he’s officially listed as questionable, don’t plan on using Clinton Portis in your Week 11 fantasy football lineup. Even if he is able to play, which appears less and less likely by the hour, he’ll probably split carries with Ladell Bets and Shaun Alexander. For that reason alone, look for another running back to start in your fantasy lineup.
RB Steven Jackson, St. Louis Rams
Steven Jackson’s situation is much clearer. Jackson will not being to play in Week 11. His thigh injury isn’t healing and the injury may be more severe than first diagnosed. In his …read more

Want to take a gamble on a player who has a chance of becoming a big contributor at some point between now and the end of the 2008 fantasy football season? Take a look at these players:
QB Daunte Culpepper, Detroit Lions
Daunte Culpepper is destined to get a lot of starts for the Detroit Lions at quarterback. He recently signed a two-year contract and he’ll be given a chance to prove he’s worth the investment. While he’ll likely be rusty right off the bat, he was a fantasy football stud not too long ago. Take a chance on him if you …read more

QB Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons are going against an Oakland Raiders defense that simply isn’t that good. Last week, fellow rookie quarterback Joe Flacco had a good fantasy day against this same defense. Expect Ryan to have an even better game in Week 9. Right now, he’s a definite fantasy football sleeper for the week.
RB Michael Pittman, Denver Broncos
Michael Pittman is banged up and is currently listed as questionable for the Week 9 game. But he was able to practice late in the week and should start the game and have a heavy workload. Against the Miami Dolphins, Pittman …read more

QB Shaun Hill, San Francisco 49ers
Shaun Hill is now the starting quarterback in San Francisco and makes for a very fine Week 9 Waiver Wire pickup. With Mike Martz still with the 49ers, you can expect the team to throw the ball a lot. Hill was somewhat effective last season and has a chance to become a decent backup for the rest of the fantasy football season.
RB Kevin Faulk, New England Patriots
With injuries to Laurence Maroney, Sammy Morris and LaMont Jordan, the door is open for Kevin Faulk to be the main running back option. The good thing about Faulk …read more

A fantasy football waiver wire can help you get the advantage in your league. By successfully stocking up of waiver wire gems, you can greatly improve your chance of winning a fantasy football championship.
Here are a list of waiver wire targets to go after. If any of these players are available, pick them up ASAP.
QB Kyle Orton, Chicago Bears
In Week 5, Kyle Orton had his fifth consecutive very good fantasy game. It’s a bit early to call him a good fantasy football starter on a weekly basis but he’s looking like he can be a quality backup.
RB Justin Fargas, Oakland …read more
