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 ...

Photo By: Kyle Terada / US PRESSWIRE Almost two months into the season, I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at a breakdown of targets over the past month of the season. NFL teams tend to scout an upcoming opponent in the four previous games they've played before they face them. It's a good way to track what's going on, numbers wise, from a game plan standpoint for your fantasy options. Larry Fi ...

Photo By: Rick Osentoski / US PRESSWIRE It's hard to know what to make of recent talk about Trent Richardson possibly being shut down through the Browns week ten bye week, when today, we see Richardson participating in the teams walk through. Perhaps the Browns coaching staff is waiting to see how Richardson looks at the end of the week to determine his status going forward, I have to believe we will see hi ...

Photo By: Tim Fuller / US PRESSWIRE While Matthew Stafford's numbers are solid in the fourth quarter of games, it's probably time for fantasy owners to pull the plug on him starting in your lineup as he continues to look horrible in the first three quarters. The Lions are struggling to move the football and what's more alarming is their inability to find the end zone. Through six weeks, Stafford has yet to ...

Photo By: Brett Davis / US PRESSWIRE It seems around this time of the season we start to see running backs emerge off the waiver wire to contribute to fantasy lineups regularly. While Shane Vereen, LaRod Stephens-Howling and Jonathan Dwyer all had productive games last week, we need to target Rashad Jennings as the first running back to pickup. Week 8 Standard Rankings – QB | RB | WR | TE | Flex | K | D | W ...

Photo By: Phil Sears / US PRESSWIRE MJD May Be Out For Rest Of Season What at first looked like an ankle issue that needed nothing but a tape job, turned into a Lisfranc foot injury for Maurice Jones-Drew. Around this time of year last season Darren McFadden suffered the same injury and missed the rest of the season. It's very likely Jones-Drew won't be back until next season and that means Rashad Jennings ...

Photo By: Kim Klement / US PRESSWIRE The Buccaneers are looking more like the mad bombers this year than a conservative, run heavy team many thought they would be. Sure, it's no surprise Josh Freeman would take shots down the field, but his success with Mike Williams and Vincent Jackson has been ridiculous through six games. On the season Jackson has 27 receptions for over 500 yards and five touchdowns, wit ...

Photo By: Matt Stamey / US PRESSWIRE Perhaps The Buccaneers only used Doug Martin for 16 carries because they are playing a Thursday night game this week. Then again, if we chart his past three games the coaching staff had only called his number 13 times and 8 times in his previous two performance before Sunday. Time will tell us what the Buccaneers think the ideal workload for Martin really is, but I have ...

Photo By: Kevin Hoffman / US PRESSWIRE Running back depth continues to look grim with lack luster play and mounting injuries to even some of the elite talents like Trent Richardson and Maurice Jones-Drew. As a result, for the fist time ever I have seven wide receivers listed in the top ten in my flex play rankings. What is even more interesting is the three top running backs listed are Jamaal Charles, Adria ...

Photo By: Icon SMI It's been a long bye week for the Eagles but I actually like Michael Vick's odds of putting up QB1 numbers against the Falcons. About a month ago we watched a struggling Cam Newton go into Atlanta and rush the football nine times for 86 yards and a score. It would be wise for the Eagles to lean on the running game, but we know they will look to push the football vertically and Vick will g ...
