McGahee Returns, Jones On Fire, Bills Struggling

It’s taken 10 weeks for fantasy owners to put their fingers on several issues this season. Is Willis McGahee still the man in Baltimore? When will Kellen Winslow, Marques Colston and Peyton Manning bounce back? and - can Denver Broncos’ rookie Eddie Royal be counted on as a solid fantasy option? Read more

Fantasy Football: Week 8 Predictions

Week 8 - Who We Like, Who We Dislike

We said we loved Texans RB Steve Slaton a week ago, and he came through with 80 rushing yards and a TD against the Lions. We expect him to do even more than that against the horrible Bengals defense that was lit up for three scores by Mewelde Moore last week. Read more

Tom Brady Out For The Season With ACL Tear…

Well folks, it looks like the man who we told fantasy owners countless times NOT to pick in the first round of their fantasy drafts this summer, Tom Brady, is out for the season with a torn ACL. But what impact will Brady’s absence have on the rest of the Patriots’ squad? Read more

We Called It: Favre Traded To Jets

We have to He-Man ourselves on this one and give credit where credit is truly due. One month ago, we predicted that Brett Favre would be traded to the New York Jets. SI’s Peter King recently called this summer’s story the most unpredictable story he’s ever covered, and No-Offseason.com predicted the outcome. Read more

Experts Draft: Witten Is First TE Taken

Yesterday, we left you with Roddy White being selected towards the end of round three of the most recent experts draft, a shocking surprise to us here at No-Offseason.com. Today, we analyze round four and one thing that really caught our eye - Dallas’ Jason Witten being the top tight end taken. Check out the rest of round four and what we think of Witten being snagged prior to Antonio Gates and Kellen Winslow. Read more

Jets Sign Musa Smith…

In what is now becoming a ridiculously crowded stable of running backs, the Jets added Musa Smith today. Smith joins Thomas Jones, Jesse Chatman and Leon Washington - three already capable backs.

One of them will need to be released prior to training camp, and our money is on Chatman or Smith.

How Sub-Par Signal Callers Affect RBs

After a breakout campaign in 2004, Willis McGahee’s numbers went down in 2005, from 13 TDs to five, and from 4.0 yards per carry to 3.8, largely due to a change in QBs from Drew Bledsoe to J.P. Losman. Prior to Carson Palmer taking over the starting role in Cincy, Rudi Johnson hadn’t reached 1,000 yards in a season. In the three seasons following Palmer’s appointment, Johnson averaged 1,407 yards and 12 TDs per season. The same way a strong offensive line can help the fantasy value of running backs, lack of strength at QB can hurt it. Larry Johnson is one rusher who could be negatively affected by lack of a solid signal caller in 2008. Read more

Post NFL Draft Risers & Fallers - Fargas Is This Year’s Chester Taylor & More…

Following the NFL Draft every year, there are several players - both incoming rookies and seasoned veterans - whose fantasy outlook completely change based on what players were added to their team. Whether you call this collateral damage, or just life, the bottom line is that once the cards are dealt, their value and chance at production either increases or decreases. Here is a look at the biggest name players to have their fantasy value affected based on the 2008 NFL Draft… Read more

Thomas Jones Is Happy…

The NFL Draft came and went without the New York Jets taking a single RB to threaten the reps of Thomas Jones. He’ll be running behind a much improved offensive line in 2008, and at age 30, he could surprise some people.

We hear that the Jets would have taken Darren McFadden over Vernon Gholston had the Raiders passed on the Arkansas RB. Jones dynasty owners should feel lucky today.

Ronnie Brown Rising; Manningham, T.Jones, Rudi Falling…

This is one of the last weeks that much of our stock market report will be based purely on NFL Draft speculation. As you know, everything will change on April 28, as we’ll finally have a complete puzzle to work with. But for now, here’s a look a four guys who we anticipate experiencing some value shifting.
