“No Fun League” Penalizes Welker’s Snow Angels…

Following Wes Welker’s third touchdown of the season in Week 16 against the Cardinals, he ran into the end zone and did some classy snow angels - perhaps the most solid TD celebration of the season. You know, the way you used to do it when you were in the back yard playing with your friends.

Well, of course, he was flagged for a celebration penalty. This is the perfect example of the NFL stepping in and crushing Welker’s He-Man Holiday moment and pulling an Ebenezer Scrooge. Check it out…

Matt Cassel Returns To Patriots

Sunday’s match-up against the Oakland Raiders is sure to be an emotional one for the New England Patriots. Not only can the 8-5 Pats still win their division if they win out - which would be a phenomenal feat considering they’d have done it without 2007 NFL MVP Tom Brady - but QB Matt Cassel returns to start after the sudden death of his father.

Week 15 - Who We Like

No WR is more solid than Wes Welker in points per reception leagues, as he’s hauled in 97 balls for 1,002 yards already this season. He has a great match-up this week against Oakland, and should be in all fantasy line-ups in Week 15. Find out who else we like this week. Read more

Cowboys May Have No Choice But To Play Tashard

We told fantasy owners how much we liked Tashard Choice way back before the NFL Draft this past off-season. After Dallas drafted both he and Felix Jones, it looked like Choice may not have the dynasty potential we thought he would in a different situation. However, now that Jones is out for the season, and starter Marion Barber is nursing an injured foot, the Cowboys may have no choice, but to play the talented rookie. Read more

Experts Draft: Roddy White Goes In Rd. 3

Falcons WR Roddy White had a breakout third season in 2007, hauling in 83 passes for 1,202 yards and six scores in Bobby Petrino and Hue Jackson’s high flying offense, but will the stat column translate over to 2008 under the much more conservative and run-friendly Mike Smith and Mike Mularkey?

Wes Welker Returns To Practice…

Word out of Patriots camp is that fantasy stud Wes Welker had missed the past few days of practice with an undisclosed injury, but returned today. The Patriots don’t give injury updates, but we assume that this isn’t anything serious, due to the fact that it’s only June, and players resting minor injuries is very common this time of year.

What’s interesting is that while Welker was out, Chad Jackson worked with the first team, and Jabar Gaffney took Welker’s place in the slot.
