This year, I decided to forego the draft strategy of picking a tight end in the first seven rounds. My thought process was rather simple. I didn’t trust Dallas Clark without Peyton Manning; nor did I trust Antonio Gates to stay healthy. So far, so good! Tony Gonzalez is getting up there in age which [...]

The Giants are on a roll of late and the play of quarterback Eli Manning has given fantasy owners without top notch names, reason to believe they can hang around in their league. Manning is headed towards career numbers in just about every major category this year, but he will be challenged by one of [...]

Start’em Mason Foster vs Texans – After a breakout run at the beginning of the season, Mason Foster was slowed by an ankle injury for most of the past month. Looking healthy again, and playing all three downs coming off the teams bye, Foster posted nine tackles against the Saints, and has a solid matchup [...]

DL – Robert Quinn – It’s taken Robert Quinn some time to get going in his rookie season, but perhaps we should have seen that coming after, he missed all of his final year in college due to a suspension. With the Rams playing better in recent weeks, Quinn has played like a respectable DL-3 [...]

Eric Weddle vs. Raiders – The Chargers star defensive back has had an up and down year for tackles once again, but his five interceptions on the year have helped him remain as a weekly starter in IDP leagues. While I don’t expect better than a DB-3 performance this week, Weddle is playing against Carson [...]

Sean Weatherspoon vs Saints – Last week was supposed to be a bad matchup for Sean Weatherspoon, but he still managed to post ten tackles against the Colts meager offense. While Curtis Lofton remains an active linebacker in the middle, Weatherspoon is clearly one of the better outside linebackers for tackles in the league. In [...]

Marcell Dareus @ Cowboys – Since moving to defensive tackle a couple of weeks ago, rookie Marcell Dareus has become the impact player we hoped he would be coming out of Alabama. Playing with confidence, Dareus has put together DL-1 type numbers, especially for tackle heavy leagues. Veteran tackle Kyle Williams is done for the [...]

Michael Crabtree vs Giants – While Michael Crabtree has only found the end zone once this year, he has had at least five receptions in four of his past five games. When your picking up a point for each reception in PPR leagues, that means something, and it makes Crabtree a worthy WR-3 play on [...]

Ryan Mathews @ Raiders – After missing the teams latest contest against the Packers, it appears Ryan Mathews is on schedule to play in a Thursday matchup against the Raiders, as he recovers from a groin injury. When on the field Mathews has played at a RB-1 level in PPR leagues, but staying healthy has [...]

Antonio Brown @ Bengals – One of my favorite sleepers coming into the season, Antonio Brown appears to be ready for a strong second half of the season. With two hundred-yard performances and at least five receptions in his last three games, Brown is clearly Ben Roethlisberger’s No.2 receiver at this time. Both Hines Ward [...]
