Photo By: David Richard / US PRESSWIRE If Forrest Gump were an NFL annalist he would probably say, "the Raiders are like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna to get." With that said the Ravens defense sets up to be a boom or bust start option this week on defense. Give some credit to the Ravens for holding the Browns out of the end zone last week. Part of their success was the youth in Cleve ...

Photo By: Greg M. Cooper / US PRESSWIRE The Bills have struggled to say the least against the run this year and the way New England uses there running backs, we should consider Shane Vereen as a flex option. Keep an eye on Brandon Bolden status through practice this week, but I have a feeling Vereen has earned the right to be the primary backup to Stevan Ridley, even if Bolden is healthy. Even Danny Woodhea ...

Photo By: Brett Davis / US PRESSWIRE Andre Johnson has failed to haul in a touchdown for five straight weeks. Fantasy owners have to be disappointed in Johnson's numbers this year, but credit a stingy defense and a terrific running game as some of the reasons for Houston's failure to give him more work. Then again, Johnson has no less than eight receptions in each of his past three games, and had his second ...

Photo By: Bruce Kluckhohn / US PRESSWIRE No one can deny that Larry Fitzgerald is a superior player to his fellow teammate Andre Roberts. Up to this point in the world of PPR fantasy football however, I'm sure you'll find Roberts total points to be right about on par with Fitzgerald this season. Both are top twenty scorers at the receiver position in PPR leagues. Not only is Roberts on par with Fitzgerald b ...

Photo By: Byron Hetzler / US PRESSWIRE Just a season ago Darren Sproles was a top five fantasy back in PPR leagues. While Sproles has moved up into the top fifteen backs for PPR leagues because of his recent play, it was a very slow start for the veteran in September, outside of a big game against the Panthers. When we take a look at Sproles production from last year to this year, his overall numbers in the ...

Photo By: Jason Bridge / US PRESSWIRE After a breakout season that sent Antonio Brown to the Pro Bowl in 2011, it appeared he was ready to emerge as a top fifteen fantasy receiver in PPR leagues this summer. At that time, Mike Wallace was mired in a prolonged holdout and the odds were against him to make an impact through the first half of the season. Brown on the other hand, was given a new contract and lo ...

Photo By: Icon SMI If you were one of those fantasy owners who took a shot on Matthew Stafford in the second round of your draft this summer, it's been a disappointing season. Finally last week, Stafford put together the type of numbers we would expect from a quarterback that threw for over 5,000 yards and 41 touchdowns the year before and hopefully it's the begging if a big second half. Week 9 Standard Ran ...

Photo By: Vincent Pugliese / US PRESSWIRE This has to be one of the lighter weeks for waiver wire pickups I've seen in my four years of blogging about fantasy football. I won't list a quarterback below but if Josh Freeman is still available, he would of course be the top option at his position to pickup. Ryan Tannehill is a decent option as well, but he has an injury so we may see Matt Moore start after a r ...

Photo By: Daniel Shirey / US PRESSWIRE Brandon Myers only received three targets against the Chiefs but credit his light usage to the Raiders posting a rare big lead on their opponent. On the other hand, Myers did made the most of his opportunities with three receptions for 49 yards on the day. While Denarius Moore is starting to emerge as the Raiders top receiver and Darrius Heyward-Bey has successfully re ...

Photo By: Douglas Jones / US PRESSWIRE It was a case of the Good, Bad and the Ugly for the Cowboys offense on Sunday or perhaps I should say Ugly, Good then Bad. Through the first quarter and a half of the game, Dallas looked dysfunctional on offense as Dez Bryant and Kevin Ogletree had route running issues, Romo threw three interceptions, one going for a thank you very much touchdown by Jason Pierre-Paul, ...
