Photo By: Cary Edmondson / USA TODAY Sports While many have made the case for Michael Crabtree being a first round bust, it appears the 4th year receiver is starting to come into his own. Early signs in the off-season suggested this could be a breakout year for Crabtree, if for no other reason than he finally overcame his problematic foot issues. For the first-time Crabtree actually played in a preseason ga ...

Photo By: Derick E. Hingle / USA TODAY Sports For all the success Doug Martin has had in his rookie season, fantasy owners had to be disappointed and a little shocked by his numbers against the Saints last week. Playing against one of the worst run defenses in the league, Martin appeared to be a shoe in for over 100-yards and at least one score, but the Saints built up a big lead in the first half, forcing ...

Photo By: Tim Heitman / USA TODAY Sports Judging by the first half of the season, it appeared Tony Romo and the Cowboys offense were going nowhere fast. The team had a losing record, one of the worst offensive lines in the league and outside of a couple solid performances, they couldn't run the football if their lives depended on it. The second half has turned out to be much more promising and in fact for t ...

Photo By: Michael Ivins / USA TODAY Sports High expectations this summer came crashing back to earth after fantasy owners lost Aaron Hernandez to a bad ankle injury during the second week of the season. Hernandez struggled to find his way back to the active roster playing in only two games from week three to week eleven. Over the past three weeks Hernandez has come back and performed for fantasy owners like ...

While the Seahawks have outscored their opponents by a total of 108 to 17 over the past two weeks, they may not have a chance to win the division crown even if they beat San Francisco this week. Credit the 49ers for a big victory in New England and a win at home against the Cardinals week ...

Janikowski converted on five field goals scoring all fifteen of the Raiders points in the teams shutout victory over the Chiefs. On the day Janikowski converted a long of 5 ...

Photo By: Kim Klement / USA TODAY Sports Heading into the second week of the fantasy playoffs, I can understand if fantasy owners are down on those players who failed to help them last week. However, one bad game doesn't mean a player is going to let you down again this week. While rookie Bryce Brown struggled against the No.1 defense in the league against the run, expect a bounce back performance as the Ea ...

Photo By: Andrew Weber / USA TODAY Sports While Nick Foles had a big game against the Buccaneers, I won't officially recommend a quarterback off the waiver wire this week. Foles would likely be the top option to pickup at his position but I'm sure most of you left in the playoffs already have a respectable option at quarterback. Week 15 Standard Rankings – QB | RB | WR | TE | K | D | Follow us on Twitter: @ ...

Photo By: The Star Ledger / USA TODAY Sports Finally! Dynasty owners like myself with David Wilson on their bench have been waiting for the ultra talented rookie to receive an opportunity to show case what he can do. Earlier in the season he had a long touchdown run against the Browns, but because of early fumbling issues and pass protection concerns, Andre Brown moved past Wilson on the depth chart. Brown ...

Photo By: Kelley L. Cox / USA TODAY Sports Darren McFadden returned last Thursday night after missing four games with a lower leg injury. His performance brought mixed results as he carried the football 11 times for 52-yards and hauled in two receptions for 12-yards and a touchdown. McFadden had one good run of the night as he had a nice block on the edge, turned the corner and picked up 37-yards on the run ...
