Photo By: Geoff Burke / US PRESSWIRE As you may already know, it's been a couple of tough weeks as a few family members have passed away recently, and I've been behind on some of the work I do on the blog. Back and ready to roll again, it's time to take a look at last weeks results! Before we get started, let me update you on the previous two weeks. Both weeks we came away with victories. In this league you ...

Photo By: Bruce Kluckhohn / US PRESSWIRE Percy Harvin's Hamstring Should Be Fine Mid-week it appeared Harvin's status for the Vikings matchup against the Redskins was in doubt with a hamstring ailment. As Tom Pelissero's points out, Harvin should be fine for this week, and that means we must put him in the lineup. Knock on wood but Harvin has played each game this year and it appears he will continue to at ...

Photo By: Kirby Lee / US PRESSWIRE Tyvon Branch is struggling to post big-play numbers but if the Raiders offense continues to have problems, his numbers should be around the top five at his position by seasons end. We shouldn't hesitate to keep him in the lineup as his tackle numbers remain solid and from what I witnessed in the preseason, he should pickup some sacks during the year, as Oakland's coaching ...

Photo By: Dale Zanine / US PRESSWIRE It was hard to like Rey Maualuga after such a horrible let down in his first season at middle linebacker a year ago. Maualuga played in the middle in college, and it only made sense he would at least give us respectable LB3 numbers for a cheep price but he struggled, perhaps because of poor conditioning and little time to work in the off-season with this coaching staff, ...

Photo By: Thomas Campbell / US PRESSWIRE This continues to be a frustrating season for defensive linemen that were considered elite on draft day. Over the years it's been sound advice to go after one of the top options at this position as your first IDP selection because of the inconsistency at the position overall. Grab a Jared Allen, Jason Pierre-Paul or Trent Cole and usually that means a no brainier to ...

Photo By: Matt Kartozian / US PRESSWIRE Hopefully you had a chance to watch last Thursday nights game as the Cardinals faced off against the Rams. Larry Fitzgerald had eight catches in that game and sadly he could've had more. Arizona doesn't seem to trust Kevin Kolb much with audibles because he clearly missed a one on one matchup against rookie corner Janoris Jenkins, and Fitzgerald schooled him for an ea ...

Derick E. Hingle / US PRESSWIRE While Jackie Battle started the game against New Orleans, it was Ryan Mathews that clearly outworked him in the backfield. Attribute Mathews light activity in the second half to Coach Norv Turner not wanting to overwork his talented running back as he is still working his way back from a shoulder injury. That said, it appears Turner is ready to cut Mathews loose for a feature ...

Photo By: Rick Osentoski / US PRESSWIRE Targets is my focus for this weeks PPR running back article. While the usual suspects are towards the top of the list for running backs like Darren Sproles, Ray Rice, LeSean McCoy and Ryan Mathews, we have some players who might surprise you that aren't getting the looks we would hope for. C.J. Spiller Needs More Targets Sustaining drives is a good way to get both Fre ...

While the Buccaneers took to the air early and often, they did use Blount in a close to even time share with Doug Martin and it was Blount that re ...
