Best Fantasy Football Players in Week 17
December 28, 2008 by admin
Filed under Miscellaneous, NFL Player Analysis
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
Week 16 Waiver Wire Gems

Filed under NFL Player Analysis, Waiver Wire
QB Dan Orlovsky, Detroit Lions
Although the Lions are a horrible team, Dan Orlovsky is actually a decent play in Week 15. Going up against the New Orleans Saints, Orlovsky could very well finish with a pair of touchdown passes to go along with decent yardage.
RB DeShaun Foster, San Francisco 49ers
Filling in for the injured Frank Gore in Week 15, DeShaun Foster put up more than 100 combined yards against the Miami Dolphins. If Gore misses another week, Foster should have an even better game this week against the St. Louis Rams.
WR Deion Branch, Seattle Seahawks
After two straight quality games, it’s …read more
Week 13 Fantasy Football – Players to Avoid
November 29, 2008 by admin
Filed under Fantasy Football Advice, NFL Player Analysis
QB Tyler Thigpen, Kansas City Chiefs
Although Tyler Thigpen has far and away exceeded expectations since being handed the full-time keys to the quarterback position in Kansas City, don’t fall too head over heels for his matchup this week against the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders aren’t much of a team but their pass defense is surprisingly good.
RB Reggie Bush, New Orleans Saints
Reggie Bush keeps saying he’s coming back any second now. Even if he’s active in Week 13, it’d be best to avoid playing him right away. The Saints have a lot of options at the running back position and Bush …read more
Week 13 Sleepers – Fantasy Football 2008
November 28, 2008 by admin
Filed under Fantasy Football Sleepers, NFL Player Analysis
QB Kyle Orton, Chicago Bears
Although Kyle Orton has only one touchdown pass since his return from injury, he’s once again healthy and has a good matchup this weekend against the Minnesota Vikings. With the Vikings capable of shutting down the run, expect Orton to pass early and pass often.
RB Justin Fargas, Oakland Raiders
Last week, Justin Fargas got over 100 yards against the Denver Broncos. This week, Fargas will go up against the Kansas City Chiefs, the owners of the worst rush defense in the NFL. There’s a great chance that Fargas will surprise and have one of his best games …read more
Players to Avoid in Week 10 Fantasy Football
November 7, 2008 by admin
Filed under Fantasy Football Advice, NFL Player Analysis
QB Rex Grossman, Chicago Bears
The Bears are going up against the best defensive team in the NFL when they take on the Tennessee Titans. On top of that, a number of their top wide receivers are struggling with injuries. All told, there really isn’t a good reason to start Rex Grossman this week, who’s filling in for the injured Kyle Orton.
RB Julius Jones, Seattle Seahawks
Even though Julius Jones and the Seahawks seemingly have a decent matchup against the Miami Dolphins, don’t get suckered into starting him. Jones has slowly lost his grip on the running back job and is now …read more
Week 9 Sleepers – Fantasy Football Tips
November 1, 2008 by admin
Filed under Fantasy Football Sleepers, Fantasy Football Tips
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

Best Fantasy Football Players in Week 4

Filed under Miscellaneous, NFL Player Analysis
QB Brett Favre, New York Jets
In Week 4 of the fantasy football season, Brett Favre had one of the best games of his life. The soon to be 39-year-old quarterback had six touchdown passes to go along with 289 yards.
RB Larry Johnson, Kansas City Chiefs
Once upon a time Larry Johnson was a fantasy phenom. Those days might be coming back again if Johnson’s Week 4 production of 198 yards and two touchdowns is any indication.
WR Laveranues Coles, New York Jets
Favre’s favorite target on his historic day was Laveranues Coles. Coles finished the game with three touchdown receptions and 105 yards. …read more
Week 3 Waiver Wire Starters – Fantasy Football
September 19, 2008 by admin
Filed under Fantasy Football Advice, Waiver Wire
QB Gus Frerotte, Minnesota Vikings
In Minnesota, Gus Frerotte has been given the reins to the offense and he’ll likely be decent while he remains healthy. This is as healthy as he’ll be so use him before he goes down.
RB Michael Bush, Oakland Raiders
With Justin Fargas injured and Darren McFadden banged up, Michael Bush should get plenty of carries against the Bills.
WR Bryant Johnson, San Francisco 49ers
If Bryant Johnson is available in your league, pick him up ASAP. The Niners are going against the friendly Lions defense and Johnson should have a big game.
TE Donald Lee, Green Bay Packers
Although the …read more
Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3 – Fantasy Football
September 16, 2008 by admin
Filed under Fantasy Football Advice, NFL Player Analysis, Waiver Wire
QB JT O’Sullivan, San Francisco 49ers
With the Detroit Lions next on the schedule, JT O’Sullivan is a very good start. He started off the season shaky but stepped it up in the second half of his Week 2 game. He could become a good backup fantasy football QB.
RB Michael Bush, Oakland Raiders
The Raiders like to run the ball. A lot. With Justin Fargas going down with a groin injury and Darren McFadden favoring an injured toe, Michael Bush could be the starter before long in Oakland.
WR Muhsin Muhammad, Carolina Panthers
Not too long ago, Muhsin Muhammad and …read more
