We Were Right About, We Were Wrong About

We’ve made some extremely nice predictions lately - from identifying legit sleeper wide receivers, running backs and tight ends, to solidifying some new must start players like Carolina’s DeAngelo Williams and Atlanta’s Michael Turner. Even though bad weather affected a lot of the games in Week 13, making it a low-scoring week, we were right on with most of our predictions. Read more

The New “Must-Start” Men

What constitutes a “must-start” fantasy player? In the past, a “must-start” man has been few and far between. Guys like Ladainian Tomlinson, Terrell Owens, Peyton Manning and Antonio Gates have held the title, but few others have. Well, it’s time to introduce a whole new meaning to the term “must-start.” Read more

Michael Turner & Roddy White Are Legit…

Well, we’ll be the first to admit that we were extremely skeptical of the Atlanta Falcons offense this season. Even after phenomenal performances against the Lions and Chiefs in Weeks 1 & 3, we needed to see Atlanta come out and do it for real against a proven team. In Week 5, they waltzed into Green Bay and led their team to a 27-24 victory, while also posting some pretty solid fantasy digits themselves. Read more

Welcome Back Steve Smith

Broncos WR Brandon Marshall returned from his one game suspension to the tune of 18 receptions for 166 yards and a TD in Week 2 against San Diego. Don’t think for a second that Panthers fiery wide receiver Steve Smith wasn’t licking his chops thinking of his Week 3 return from suspension against the Minnesota Vikings. Read more

Our Sources Speak: 2008 Predictions

Last season, we predicted that Jamal Lewis would be a huge sleeper RB candidate as the featured back for the Cleveland Browns, following three straight sub-par seasons in Baltimore. Now, heading into 2008, we’re not so high on Lewis. Our sources have spoken. Find out what crazy predictions we’re making for the 2008 season based on their words. Read more

Healthy Harrison Ready For Big Year

Our sources are hearing that after a tumultuous last nine months, Colts WR Marvin Harrison is more motivated than ever to come back and have a phenomenal statistical season. This would be supported by recent comments made by head coach Tony Dungy. Read more

Fantasy Impact: J-Stewart Is Legit

He’s not the host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, but he may rapidly become the most famous person named Jon Stewart - especially if he continues to run the way he did against Washington on Saturday night. Read more

Fantasy Impact: DeAngelo Williams

We love saying “I told you so.” After all, that’s the business we’re in, right? Helping you win your fantasy leagues. We should be able to say “I told you so” quite a bit. One point we have not waivered on - even when many have - is that DeAngelo Williams will be the starting and featured back for the Carolina Panthers in 2008. During preseason Week 1, he took a step towards the direction of making us look really good. Read more

Find Out Who Not To Count Out In 2008…

Many things happen in the off-season that can appear to negatively affect a player’s fantasy value. Injuries, trades, free-agent signings, position changes and draft picks are just a few examples. However, we all know that the biggest indicator of what’s real is what happens on the field. Check out who’s stock is rising or falling based on the first full weekend of NFL pre-season games.

Experts Draft: Galloway Still Has Value?

After a short hiatus from analyzing the most recent expert draft I participated in , it’s time to get right back to it. There are many interesting issues to discuss, namely 37 year old (soon-to-be, anyway) Joey Galloway being taken at the beginning of the round, with names like Donald Driver, Anthony Gonzalez, Jerricho Cotchery and Vincent Jackson still on the board. Read more

More On Jonathan Stewart…

If you’ve followed our content closely this off-season, you know that we’re not really that high on Panthers rookie RB Jonathan Stewart in terms of him making a real fantasy impact - due to the presence of DeAngelo Williams.

However, Rotoworld reports that one of the Panthers beat writers is saying that Stewart will handle the bulk of the rushing load this year for Carolina. We still find this very hard to believe, and we like rookie backs like Darren McFadden, Rashard Mendenhall, Kevin Smith, Matt Forte and Chris Johnson much better than Stewart.

Keep in mind, just a few weeks ago, Stewart was pegged as Carolina’s primary kick returner - not the job of a featured RB.

Tie Goes To The Raider

We’ve made it pretty clear how we feel about Raiders rookie RB Darren McFadden as a dynasty prospect, ranking him in our top 15 overall players. We’ve also have made it obvious that he’s the best seasonal rookie running back prospect. That’s why, at the conclusion of our recent No-Offseason Reader’s Poll, we’ve given the edge to D-Mac, even though just as many readers thought Jonathan Stewart was a better investment in 2008.
