Week 9 – Start’em, Sit’em

Start’em Eli Manning @ Patriots- The Giants started off slow, but part of the reason for their lack of success can be blamed on whether issues on the East Coast as it cost the team valuable training camp time, coming off the lockout. Since Victor Cruz has picked up his play week three, Eli Manning [...]

Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

Running Backs Javon Ringer – The time has come for Javon Ringer to take over in the Titans running game as Chris Johnson continues to look like a fraud on the field. Who knows, maybe Johnson has an injury that the Titans aren’t talking about, but he clearly runs without passion and refuses to lower [...]

Week 9 – RB Rankings

Beanie Wells vs Rams – It’s a case of good news, bad news for Beanie Wells owners as their running back played against the Ravens and produced a touchdown, but clearly looked slowed down by his knee injury. Wells even went as far as to acknowledge after the game that his knee could be a [...]

Week 9 – WR Rankings

Victor Cruz @ Patriots – While offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride limited Victor Cruz’s snap count in the teams’ victory over the Bills, because of his up and down play in previous weeks, this young receiver needs to stay on the field. This shifty play maker seems to be a favorite of Eli Manning’s when the [...]

Week 9 – QB Rankings

Josh Freeman @ Saints – Just three short weeks ago, the Buccaneers played a great game against the Saints and won down in Tampa. Freeman threw for over 300 yards on the game, and I’m sure this will be a spirited contest as the Saints are fresh off a loss to the Rams. It remains [...]

Week 9 – TE Rankings

Owen Daniels vs Browns – The Texans top tight end remains a worthy starter at his position for fantasy leagues, but Daniels is clearly losing targets to fellow tight end Joel Dreessen, who had another touchdown this week, giving him three in the Texans past four games. While Dreessen will get looks in the red [...]

Week 9 – K / D Rankings

It’s time for fantasy owners to keep in mind some of the more pitiful offenses around the league, and find a defense that plays them on the waiver wire to exploit these matchups. As funny as this sounds, the Colts have to be the worst team in the NFL, and their offense is in poor [...]

Week 8 IDP Start’em, Sit’em

Start’em Aldon Smith vs Browns – As a 49ers fan, I must admit I was a little disappointed when the 49ers drafted Aldon Smith as a top ten selection. While Vic Fangio and Jim Harbaugh understand the players, they want to bring in for their 3-4 defensive scheme, it was likely that Smith wasn’t going [...]
