Photo By: Byron Hetzler / US PRESSWIRE The Broncos rookie running back Ronnie Hillman was a much talked about player throughout the summer as a potential sleeper to stash in the later rounds of your fantasy draft. Early in camp, Hillman suffered a hamstring injury that lingered for a few weeks and the rookie lost valuable time and started the season as the fourth string running back behind Willis McGahee, L ...

Photo By: Jim O'Connor / US PRESSWIRE Last year it seemed like the Giants were always coming from behind to make a made dash to win games. They've had some eventful matchups this year as well, but Lawrence Tynes is benefiting from New York playing close football games. Through eight weeks Tynes already has 26 field-goal attempts and what's more impressive is he's converted 24 of those chances into points. N ...

Photo By: Icon SMI Another difficult week for defensive rankings and I can't really say we have a terrific option off the waiver wire. Perhaps you can look to the Chargers, who are fresh off a seven to six loss against the Browns and will face a struggling Chiefs offense at home. Unfortunately, the Chargers offense puts the defense in difficult situations because of turnovers or in the case of last week, in ...

Photo By: Tim Fuller / US PRESSWIRE Titus Young was a name kicked around as a potential breakout receiver for fantasy leagues this summer, but a irrelevant start found him on the waiver wire in many leagues. Young was supposed to be having a solid camp, and with Calvin Johnson drawing so much attention on the other side of the field, it only made sense Young would receive matchups he could win. It's taken s ...

Photo By: Icon SMI Jonathan Stewart Will Start Again Sometimes when everything appears to be going the wrong way, it's precisely the time to jump on board. The Panthers have failed to run the football with their high priced running backs and their long-time General Manager had to pay the price for the teams poor start by stepping down. Last week Stewart outworked DeAngelo Williams in the lineup with 58 snap ...

Photo By: Icon SMI Coming into our week seven clash with the highest-scoring team in the league, we walked in with a 4 and 2 record sitting in third place. Things started out poor as I was sure Frank Gore would have only marginal success against our Seahawks defense but he put up a 25 point day. Bummed for sure but early-on Sunday we finally (for some reason, most of our scoring tends to come in the fourth ...

Photo By: Daniel Shirey / US PRESSWIRE We should have a wild one in Denver as the Saints and Broncos matchup on Sunday night. The Broncos defensive backs benefited from big plays against the Chargers and this week Tracy Porter, Rahim Moore and Mike Adams all make the my defensive backs rankings. Just keep an eye on Porter's availability before the game. Champ Bailey is another option to roll the dice with b ...

Photo By: Howard Smith / US PRESSWIRE The Eagles made a change at defensive coordinator during the bye week in hopes of turning things around. Who knows if it will do any good, but I can't imagine both Trent Cole and Jason Babin will continue to perform at such a low level from where we grown accustomed to seeing them. Atlanta comes to town and fortunate for the Eagles they have a history of giving Michael ...

Photo By: Kevin Liles / US PRESSWIRE It was a frustrating beginning to Luke Kuechly's career as we had a hard time figuring out just what to make of his role, or changes in role(s) in the Panthers linebacking core, through preseason and September. It appears the talented rookie has finally settled in at middle linebacker, and with Jon Beason done for the year, his job is secure going forward. Situation has ...

Photo By: Dennis Wierzbicki / US PRESSWIRE It's been a tough start for the Lions passing game and the loss of Nate Burleson won't help. Then again, it might be just what this team needs as rookie Ryan Broyles will find more playing time. Broyles is an ideal slot receiver and should be a nice compliment to what Calvin Johnson, Titus Young and Brandon Pettigrew bring to the table. While Matthew Stafford conti ...
