Week 8 – TE Rankings

Antonio Gates @ Chiefs – Gates returned to the field after the Chargers bye week to post five receptions for 54 yards and a score against the Jets defense. While this was an encouraging performance, it was also a positive that Gates came out of the game with no ill-effects to his foot and will [...]

Tim Tebow vs Lions – Looking ugly most of the game, much will be made of how Tim Tebow looked as led his team back to victory against the Dolphins and rightfully so. The end result is a good one for most fantasy owners (pending on your leagues scoring rules) because the young man can [...]

Week 8 – K / D Rankings

After a 62 to 7 shellacking over the Colts, the Saints defense has another stellar matchup this week as the head out to St. Louis to take on the win-less Rams. While A.J. Feeley wasn’t exactly horrible against the Cowboys, he failed to lead the team down the field for more than seven points, and [...]

Revisiting how you picked your quarterbacks When selecting a QB, you likely did one of two things: you either grabbed one early or waited a bit.

While Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones publicly says the plan for the running game will be to work Tashard Choice and rookie DeMarco Murray together, expect Murray to see the larger workload. In recent week (actually since training camp) the Cowboys were open about looking to trade Choice, so it’s hard to envision him leading [...]

Week 7 IDP – LB Rankings

Daryl Washington vs Steelers – The Cardinals second year linebacker was slowed down early in the year with an injury, but it appears, he healthy and ready to produce like a regular starter. Last week middle linebacker Paul Posluzny had a monster game against the Steelers and I expect Washington to have success as Rashard [...]

Week 7 IDP – DL Rankings

Elvis Dumervil @ Dolphins – Expectations were high for Elvis Dumervil as the Broncos were set to move back to a 4-3 defensive scheme which meant the veteran would move back to defensive end. In his first quarter of action this season, Dumervil suffered a shoulder injury against the Raiders, and his snaps and play [...]

Week 7 IDP – DB Rankings

Darrelle Revis vs Chargers – The Dolphins made the mistake of throwing at Darrelle Revis, and he made them pay with a long touchdown off an interception. While it appears Antonio Gates will be back this week, fantasy owners should anticipate that Philip Rivers won’t go away from taking his shots down the field to [...]

Week 7 IDP Start’em, Sit’em

Start’em DeAndre Levy vs Falcons – The Lions continue to give DeAndre Levy sub package work as he’s done a nice job of filling in for Justin Durant on the weak-side. Don’t look for Levy to make many big plays, but he should continue to rack up a respectable amount of tackles weekly. More WK [...]

With so many varying leagues of starting depth and roster space for IDP players, it can be a challenge to give you sound advice for our IDP waiver wire pickups. I will have some deeper waiver wire options, but I also have listed some players I’ve talked about in the past, and they may be [...]
