Another Thanksgiving and another team walks in and beats the pants off of the Detroit Lions. Hopefully the NFL will give this game to another team soon as I’m more than tired of watching the Lions pathetic performance on Thanksgiving year after year.

Driver fly’s, Jennings Die’s

This offseason I had Greg Jennings as the fifth best receiver for fantasy football coming into this year. I believed Aaron Rodgers was ready to take another step in his career (which he has) and that would make Jennings one of the best receivers to have in fantasy.

Unfortunately, what I didn’t count on was the fact that Rodgers would be so good at finding his third, fourth and fifth option in his passing game.

Not only that but I didn’t count on the Packers placing strong emphasis on spreading the ball around to six or seven guys weekly.

This miss evaluation has killed Jennings fantasy value and has disappointed (your’s truly) fantasy owners all yearlong. Too many weeks we see another receiver like Donald Driver, James Jones or another role player getting the touchdowns and not Jennings.

For the season Jennings has a measly three touchdown scores and that is just not going to cut it in fantasy for a No.1 receiver or a No.2 receiver on your fantasy team.

This week Driver had the big game as the Lions seemed content rolling a safety over to try and stop a three time pro bowl receiver. While that is probably the dumbest thing a team can do you can leave it to the sorry Lions to do just that.

Look for Jennings to continue to be a boom or bust player and usually on the bust side for the rest of the season.

Calvin Johnson Scores

Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson weren’t expected to play in this game as late as Wednesday night. On Thursday both ended up playing and Johnson got an early touchdown score.

That was about the only positive thing this offense did for the entire game as Johnson was noticeably banged up for the entire game.

Look for Johnson and Stafford to come back much healthier next Sunday as they now have ten days to rest and get ready.

After all the hoopla and fan fair before this big contest, the Vikings and Packers faced off between the lines. Many thought that the Packers would give the Vikings a strong game as they were playing at home this time, and they had their safeties back and healthy.

In the end, Brett Favre and the Vikings were too much as Favre threw four touchdown passes and beat his old team for the second time this year.

Favre Has a Great Game

I didn’t think Favre would play a flawless game against his old team in Lambeau this week. Favre has always been an emotional player, and many times he comes into big games and has a tough time early on.

However, Favre didn’t have a slow start and was strong for the entire game. At the end of the day, Favre was 17 of 28 for 244 yards passing and four touchdown passes.

The Vikings now have a commanding lead in the NFC Central and should run away with the division and wrap it up early in December.

Favre truly makes this team better as he is the final piece of the puzzle for this strong team.

Look for the Vikings to be a major player in the post season this year.

Aaron Rodgers Not Good Enough

Part of Aaron Rodgers problems against the Vikings (and every week) is that he isn’t getting the greatest pass protection and is under lots of pressure.

While the offensive line has struggled this season, Rodgers hasn’t helped them much as he likes to hold onto the football.

Because he holds onto the ball a long time he will always take more sacks and hits by opposing defenses. Rodgers isn’t the only quarterback in football that plays this way as Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger does the exact same thing.

Because of this Rodgers will make more plays down the field, but he will also be an injury risk.

Greg Jennings Finally Produces

It’s been awhile since fantasy owners could feel good about the way Greg Jennings has performed on the football field. At times it almost seems that Jennings has been a forgotten target in this high octane offense.

Today Jennings had eight receptions for over 80 yards and a touchdown catch. Hopefully, Jennings can have a strong second half of the fantasy season and help fantasy owners to the playoffs.

After last season, some in fantasy football circles thought that Vikings’ second year receiver Sidney Rice was a bust. This was because the South Carolina product had not accomplished much in his first two years.

Coming into this year Rice received a new lease on life when Brett Favre signed with the team. Finally, Rice would have a solid quarterback and would now have a chance to have fantasy football relevance.

In the first two games of the regular season, Favre was still getting his arm into shape and the Vikings’ passing game struggled.

By the end of Minnesota’s third game against the 49ers, Favre was officially back when he threw a game winning touchdown to Greg Lewis. In that very game, Favre hooked up with Rice on four receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown.

Taking the Next Step

Against the Ravens, week six, Rice exploded for 176 yards receiving on six receptions. Beyond Rice’s solid production, Favre trusted Rice at the end of the game on their final drive to win.

On that drive Rice made a huge play on a deep route for 63 yards receiving.

Watching the chemistry that is developing between Favre and Rice reminds me of when Favre started hooking up with Greg Jennings in Green Bay.

Hopefully, Rice will be able to take the next step as Jennings did and produce consistent production. If he can take this next step he will be well on his way to becoming a top 25 receiver in fantasy football.

Fantasy Football Rankings for Sidney Rice

At this time, I highly recommend you consider picking up Rice off of your fantasy waiver wire. This talented young player is proving that he is much more than a No.2 receiver on this team and is quickly become a go to guy.

For Rice to be an every week fantasy football play he needs to continue to produce consistently. If Rice can show that then he will be a force down the stretch of the fantasy football season.

Let’s face it, it has been awhile since we could say nice things about the Bengals and their winning ways. Sure, it wasn’t that long ago that Cincinnati went to the playoffs (2005) but it feels like a long time.

This year, the new Cardiac Cats are putting away the demons in the closet and having one of their finest starts in franchise history.

This surge has been led with the strong play from Carson Palmer, Cedric Benson, Chad Ochocinco, the defense and Andre Caldwell’s timely touchdowns.

Who Dey No.1 Receivers

While there was talk that the Bengals defense was getting better this summer, I just didn’t believe they would be strong this season.

So far, the Bengals defense is having a fine season and for my money corner back Jonathan Joseph has all but wrote his ticket to the Pro Bowl this season.

Joseph has been leading the charge in shutting down top receivers all season long. Receivers Greg Jennings, Braylon Edwards and Derrick Mason have been held down without a catch against the Bengals.

Joseph has also held down Santonio Holmes to one catch and in that game had an interception for a touchdown that ignited the Bengals comeback win over the Steelers.

Fellow corner Leon Hall has also tag teamed with Joseph to give this team strong coverage in the secondary.

These young men are playing out of their minds, and I will be interested to see if they can continue this strong play throughout the season.

Comeback Carson

Last season was a horrible one for Palmer. The Bengals leader was out most of the year and almost had to have Tommy John surgery on his throwing arm.

I was a little concerned that he didn’t get the surgery last year because if he had a setback this year he would miss another season.

Fortunately, it looks like the arm is doing just fine, and he is playing some very solid football.

While his fantasy football numbers haven’t been awesome he has been winning games for his team. I would expect this talented quarterback to get in a groove at some point and start putting up better stats.

Cedric Benson is a Beast

It’s time to start Benson every week in your fantasy football league. This running back is getting it done against great defenses and has provided steady fantasy production all year.

Right now, Benson is the leading rusher in the NFL, and he should continue to stay in the top five for most of the season.

Look for Benson to make a run at 1,500 yards and over 10 touchdowns this season.

Bound for the Playoffs

If the Bengals are going to make it to the playoffs, they will need their defense to stay solid. Eventually, I expect opponents to start studying this team more on film and find some weaknesses in what they are doing.

This summer I wrote at the end of my article on the Bengals regular season schedule that hopefully the team would turn it around. My main reason for this was because I didn’t want to see Palmer’s career wasted on a bad team.

So far, they have turned it around, and I will be routing for these Cardiac Cats to continue their run.

NFL Fantasy Football Information writer Sean E. Douglas: fantasy-info.com

It’s not surprising to see a team play hard in the open week for the NFL football season. Understanding this, it was not surprising to see the Bengals have a spirited effort against the Broncos to begin the season.

When the team lost the game to a heart breaking touchdown by Brandon Stokley, I figured the Bengals would start the season 0-3. On paper, it only made sense that the Bengals would struggle as they played two playoff contenders in weeks two and three.

To my surprise (and most NFL fans) the Bengals did not fold up and lose their next two games. To see this team go on the road and beat the Packers then come back home and beat the Steelers was impressive.

These victories remind me of the spirited play we saw from this organization back in 2005 when the team won the AFC Northern Division.

Turning Things Around

The Bengals poster child for their turn around from misfits to respectability has to be their feature running back Cedric Benson. This summer I considered Benson a sleeper fantasy back because he was motivated and he ran hard at the end of last season.

Not only did he seem to have a new hop in his step but he was going to be one of few runners this year that would not be in a committee running game.

Benson’s play has been very sound but probably the biggest surprise out of Cincinnati has to be the defensive play.

So for the Bengals defense is 11th overall against the run, 19th against the pass and 13th in points given up. These numbers are a great improvement over previous seasons and Marvin Lewis appears to have his guys playing strong fundamental football.

Beyond those numbers, what impresses me most is their ability to shut down the opposing teams No. 1 receiver.

Against the Packers, Greg Jennings did not even have a catch and last week Santonio Holmes only had one reception. If the defense can stay close to this production, they will be primed to go back to the playoffs.

Taking Care of Business

I will be interested to see if the Bengals put down the Browns early this weekend. I’m sure Cleveland will come out and give this team a spirited fight at home.

Derek Anderson will get the start for the Browns and if the Bengals can apply pressure, it will make for a long day for Cleveland. Anderson is not mobile and is very susceptible to giving up sacks.

If the Bengals win this game they will go to 3-1 and next week they face off against the Baltimore Ravens. That matchup could be for the early lead in the AFC North and it would be fun to see the Bengals start playing in more meaningful games.

Fantasy Football Rankings for Bengal Players

Chad Ochocinco and Cedric Benson are probably the only every week starters in fantasy from this team. Carson Palmer could be but he needs to have stronger stats than he’s posted (not counting the Packers game) so far this season.

The Bengals defense is starting to become fantasy worthy as any team that can shut down the run and the opposing teams top receiver is always intriguing.

Many defenses have bad plays this weekend and the Bengals defense would make for a sneaky play against the Browns.

If the Bengals continue to play strong than fantasy football owners will be smiling all year. Bengal players came cheep this year in fantasy football drafts and your return on investment should be strong.

The Rams have had a bad start so far this season. To their credit, they have fought hard in the past two weeks and the offense actually found the end zone a few times.

Kyle Boller Should Start, Marc Bulger is Done

It is painfully obvious that Marc Bulger is completely washed up as a quarterback in this league and the Rams would be best served starting Kyle Boller. In the first half, Bugler went out of the game with another injury and Boller came in and threw two touchdowns.

This offense needs a quarterback with youthful legs that is not a total statue in the pocket. Bugler hasn’t had the greatest offensive line in recent years, but he hasn’t helped with his inability to avoid a pass rush.

Once Boller came in the game it was easy to see that the Rams’ offense had more pep in their step and didn’t look too bad.

With a more mobile quarterback, I expect running back Steven Jackson to continue his high yardage numbers. For the game Jackson had over 100 yards rushing and over 150 total yards.

Hopefully, for Jackson owners, the Rams will continue to play Boller over Bulger for the rest of the season.

Josh Brown Makes First Field Goal

It’s too bad that the Rams are horrible because Josh Brown could be the best fantasy kicker now that he’s in a Dome. This week Brown finally made his first field goal and it was from 53 yards out. Because the Rams are so sorry Brown is not worth having on a fantasy team.

Still, if the Rams could ever start playing decent football, Brown would be a good option as a fill in kicker.

Donald Driver a No.2 Fantasy Football Option

It’s time to say that Donald Driver is a solid No.2 fantasy football option at receiver. Driver is enjoying a fine year now that defenses are treating Greg Jennings as their No.1 receiver.

Look for Driver to total over 1,200 and around 8 touchdowns in another fine season from the veteran.

Mason Crosby Nails Home Three

So far Mason Crosby is off to a good start to the season as he has only missed one field goal in this first three games. While Crosby did make all three of his opportunities (one from 48 yards out) he missed one of his four pat tries.

Crosby is worth having on your fantasy team because he is on a great team and an awesome offense. Because of this he will receive many opportunities and he has a big leg to kick the long ball. The only problem with Crosby is his accuracy and lets hope he continues his good start.

Last week the Bengals lost a heart breaker to the Broncos at the end of the game. This week they had a tall order as they played the Packers, on the road.

Carson Palmer has Four Touchdowns

I expected to see the Bengals fold up and lose this game as they played a team that should go to the playoffs. Unfortunately, for the Packers, Carson Palmer and the Bengals were up to the task of playing good football.

Palmer spread the ball around and threw one touchdown to all three of his top receivers. Chad Ochocinco made the final touchdown catch and delivered on his promise to do the Lambeau leap.

The Bengals quarterback also added a touchdown run of his own, bringing his touchdown total for four on the day.

Cedric Benson Runs Well Again

Last week Cedric Benson had a nice running day against the Broncos and this week he was strong again. In this contest, he had 29 rushes for 141 yards rushing. Expect the Bengals to continue giving Benson the ball twenty plus times a week.

Benson is clearly the feature back on the Bengals, and it looks like he is now the runner we expected to see coming out of Texas.

This running back and the Bengals offense is in line for a very successful fantasy season.

Rodgers Sacked Six Times

Aaron Rodgers was sacked six times (5 by Antwan Odom) and if the Packers are going to make the playoffs, they need better protection. Not only did Rodgers get beat up but top receiver Greg Jennings didn’t get a reception.

Next week the Packers should get back on track against the Rams. Hopefully, fantasy owners will be happy in that game.

NFL Fantasy Football Information writer Sean E. Douglas: fantasy-info.com

Last week Adrian Peterson was a total stud as he had 180 rushing and three touchdowns. If you used Peterson last week, it was a good game to use him for the season, as many running backs had down weeks.

While Peterson was strong other runner were more valuable this week like Thomas Jones or Julius Jones. If you happened to start either of these runners, you got great value for the one time you could use them all year.

This week a lot of big name running backs have great matchups but quarterbacks and receiver do not.

Below we have our survivor pool rankings split into three sections, and they are studs, mid range and poor plays.

We hope these survivor pool rankings help you choose those stud players you need this week for a successful start to the 2009 survivor fantasy season.

Week one of the fantasy football schedule is already behind us. Hopefully, your fantasy team got off to a good start to begin the year.

This week we have our weekly section on wounded warriors, as well as our top rankings for top position players. We have the top 16 ranked QB, TE, K and D/ST ranked. We also have the top 30 RB’s and top 40 WR’s as well.

Every week we will start off with our wounded warrior’s section. These are the key players that are on the injury report that you need to pay attention too before games begin.

Wounded Warrior’s

Donovan McNabb vs Saints – McNabb has missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so far this week. At this point in time, it looks like he will be a scratch. Even if he can play, the Eagles will probably run the ball and throw short passes.

Matt Cassel vs Raiders- Right now I hope you have a better option than Cassel on your team to start. However, he should make players like Dwayne Bowe more valuable, when he’s on the field.

At this point in time, it looks like Cassel may in fact play, so hopefully we can expect better production from Bowe and Larry Johnson.

Kyle Orton vs Browns- Orton is still wearing padded protection in his injured finger. Eddie Royal and Brandon Marshall may suffer a bit, while Orton is recovering. At the same time, all three players should have opportunities for success this week.

LaDainian Tomlinson vs Ravens- Tomlinson has missed practice both days this week. Right now he is wearing a protective boot on his injured ankle. Even if LT does play this week he is a poor bet for production against Baltimore.

If you have other options to start, I would bench Tomlinson this week.

Pierre Thomas vs @ Eagles- Thomas has been practicing with a heavy knee brace and his status for this week is up in the air.

Thomas did say on his twitter that he is ready to go for this week. This is a good sign, but even if he does it will probably be in a limited role.

Antonio Bryant vs @ Bills- Bryant makes for a bad play this week as he is still recovering from knee surgery. Last week he pulled himself out of the game. Look for other options this week.

Anquan Boldin vs @ Jaguars- Boldin said his hamstring is much better than last week, but it is still not 100%. Unless you have a deep receiving core, I would suggest you keep Boldin in the lineup.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh vs @ 49ers- Housh is listed as probable this week with back and rib issues. He should be fine for the game as the Seahawks and 49ers fight for first place in the division.

Brandon Marshall vs Browns- Marshall is not listed on the injury report. This is a good sign, but he will still need some time to get into playing shape. If you have good depth you might consider benching him until he proves he’s back.

Jeremy Shockey vs @ Eagles- Shockey was limited on Thursday’s practice with an ankle issue. However, he is not expected to miss the game and should be a decent start this week.
