Going with an overrated fantasy football player can make the difference between a victory and a loss. Here’s a look at some overrated players for Week 9 of the 2009 fantasy football season.

RB Pierre Thomas, New Orleans Saints
Pierre Thomas is scoring touchdowns but he’s quietly losing his grip on the running back job in New Orleans. Mike Bell is getting more than a fair share of carries and …read more

6. Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers

4. Donovan …read more

While there are a lot of fantasy football players that are hyped up right now early in the 2009 NFL season, some of the players don’t deserve the hype in the fantasy world. Here are a few players you should look to trade as a sell high.
QB Mark Sanchez, New York Jets

RB Willis McGahee, Baltimore …read more

Eli Manning had a very good outing in Week 4 of the 2009 fantasy football season. However, an Eli Manning injury in the fourth quarter has his fantasy owners worried. When dropping back to pass, Manning apparently hurt his heel – without being touched.
The fact that it was a non-contact injury could be bad news. Sometimes when tendons or ligaments pop, it happens when no one else is around.
The good news for Manning, the New York Giants and the fantasy football world is the fact that Manning was able to walk around after the game. However, be sure to keep …read more

RB Matt Forte, Chicago Bears
In most …read more
