Kurt Warner had a very good 2008 fantasy football campaign and almost capped his year by leading the Arizona Cardinals to a Super Bowl championship. Unfortunately for Warner and the Cardinals, Ben Roethlisberger’s late game heroics gave the Pittsburgh Steelers the Super Bowl victory.
When considering Warner’s 2009 fantasy football outlook, the first major obstacle is obviously whether or not Warner is even coming back to the NFL next season. After the Super Bowl, he was non-committal either way. Since the Super Bowl, Warner has said that his return could be dependent upon whether or not Anquan Boldin stays or not. …read more

While there were some great performances in this year’s Super Bowl when the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals clashed, there were also a few disappointments. Here’s a look at the 2009 Super Bowl disappointments:
QB Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers
Prior to his last touchdown drive, Ben Roethlisberger was a fantasy football disappointment. Even after getting his first touchdown pass of the game on his final throw, he still didn’t produce at the level many expected out of him, especially fantasy-wise.
RB Tim Hightower, Arizona Cardinals
During the regular season, Tim Hightower led the Cardinals in rushing touchdowns. By the end of the season, …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

Heading into this year’s Super Bowl, perhaps the most explosive fantasy football player on the field will be a familiar face. Kurt Warner, who has helped countless fantasy teams win championships over the years, has a chance to be a fantasy stud during the Super Bowl.
Although the former NFL MVP and NFL Super Bowl champion with the St. Louis Rams has been extremely hot as of late, it’s easy to forget how cold he was not too long ago. Between Week 11 and Week 16, he had more than one touchdown in a game just one time. During that stretch, …read more

RB JJ Arrington, Arizona Cardinals
In the fantasy football world, JJ Arrington is best known for being a bust of a fantasy draft pick. Coming into the league as a rookie, fantasy owners were under the impression that he would have a big rookie season. While that was off base, Arrington gets some time at running back for the Cardinals and is a threat in the open field.
RB Carey Davis, Pittsburgh Steelers
Most fullbacks aren’t startable in the fantasy football world but with Carey Davis of the Steelers, you can be confident that he’ll at least get a couple touches. In …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.
In total, Fitzgerald has 419 yards and five touchdowns grabs in his three playoff games. In each of the contests, he has caught a pass for more than 40 yards.
Fitzgerald’s hot streak actually began at the end of the regular season. He ended the season with two straight games with at least 100 yards receiving …read more

With fantasy football 2008 right around the corner, let’s take a look at the most overrated fantasy football quarterbacks for the upcoming fantasy football season. These are fantasy quarterbacks who are being picked higher than their current values should merit.
Derek Anderson – While he did very well last season, Derek Anderson has an relatively inexperience receiving corps and a high profile backup.
Carson Palmer – Even though he is very talented, Carson Palmer is on a team that is heading downward and has a sometimes loony lead WR.
Marc Bulger – With Issac Bruce gone and Torry Holt aging, Marc Bulger …read more

The New Orleans Saints got another weapon for their offense. On Monday, the Saints acquired Shockey from the New York Giants for draft picks. Shockey will step in and become the Saints’ new starting tight end.
For the Giants, they had to make this trade because the team’s relationship with Shockey appeared to be broken. After the Giants went on to win the Super Bowl last season without Shockey, rumors spread that Shockey was unhappy and that New York would look to trade him. In return for Shockey, the Giants are getting a second rounder and a …read more

According to sources within the New York Giants organization, tight end Jeremy Shockey and general manager Jerry Reece got into a shouting match during a team practice. While the exact reason for the argument is unknown, Shockey has made it no secret that he’s upset.
Shockey didn’t play for the Giants as they made their postseason run. Shockey was sidelined after breaking his leg during the regular season. Kevin Boss, a rookie tight end, filled in for the Giants and the team defied all odds to win the Super Bowl.
Currently, Shockey is mad that rumors spread that he …read more
