After a disappointing return last week, if you happened to make it to the Super Bowl this week, it's hard to sit Adrian Peterson this week. For what it's worth, while other players like Sam Bradford and Ben Roethlisberger are likely out after playing on ankle injuries, Peterson seemed to come out of the loss fine and according to Vikings beat-writer Tom Pelissero's on Tuesday; Peterson is now considered clo ...

In the four games, Kevin Smith has played in this year, he has a yard per carry average of no lower than 4.8 yards in any contest. While Smith has been highly productive, his health and overall workload have been a problem as he's carried the football only one game for more than seven times. Audio: Week 15 Fantasy Podcast As of Friday, Smith is expected to play against the Raiders, and IF he can stay on the ...

Michael Vick is expected back just in time for the fantasy playoffs to begin but will he perform as a worthy top ten play? On talent alone, Vick should be a no-brainer to use, but with Jeremy Maclin returning from an injury, and DeSean Jackson acting like he's taking the season off, it's hard to trust Vick with your season on the line. Audio: Week 14 Fantasy Podcast This week the Eagles head down to Miami a ...

What started out as a "fluky" breakout season for Victor Cruz has turned into a full-blown top five fantasy performance this year, as the Giants "No.3 receiver" is on fire of late. With Mario Mannigham possibly out for the season, it's well past the time for all fantasy annalists and owners to consider Cruz a legit WR-1 option for the rest of the season. Audio: Week 13 Fantasy Podcast On Friday, Packers cor ...

Running Backs Toby Gerhart - The former Standford standout didn't get much done on the ground after Adrian Peterson left the game, but he should have better success against the Falcons this week. A reasonable flex play start, Gerhart is a must add as Peterson is likely to miss more than just this weeks' game with an ankle sprain.

Kevin Smith vs. Packers - What a game it was for Kevin Smith as his road back to a healthy NFL career has been a long one, since he tore his ACL towards the end of the 2009 season. Last year Smith was with the Lions but clearly wasn't the same player he was before his injury, and until injuries and poor play opened the door for Smith again in Detroit, he was out of the league, just a few weeks back. Audio: ...

LeGarrette Blount @ Titans - The Buccaneers haven't been the same since LeGarrette Blount suffered a knee injury against the 49ers, but with his first 100-yard performance against the Packers, since his injury, the Buccaneers played a close game in Green Bay. It's hard to know what to expect from the Titans as they look good one week and then bad the next, but expect Blount to perform like a RB-2 this week. ...

Andre Johnson @ Jaguars - It looks like Andre Johnson is ready to come back after his long absence from the Texans lineup. Now without Matt Schaub for the rest of the season, former USC great, and Cardinals first round bust Matt Leinart will take over. Like many backup quarterbacks, they tend to look for a great receiver in the offense, so expect Johnson to be targeted ten plus times weekly going forward. W ...

Matthew Stafford vs. Packers - After a horrible performance against the Bears, Matthew Stafford rebounded against the Panthers with 335 yards and five touchdown passes against the Panthers, as the Lions scored 49 points. In a huge game on Thanksgiving, I'm sure the Lions will try to run the football, but if the Lions win this game on Stafford throwing arm. Audio: Stafford Plays Well Against The Panthers Wit ...

The Bears have been on the kind of hot streak that makes you believe they can do no wrong, but unfortunately the team and Bears fans received bad news, Sunday night as quarterback Jay Culter looks to be lost for at least the regulars season. A broken thumb will knock Cutler out and while he hasn't been a weekly starter in fantasy leagues, his loss will likely impact the fantasy values of Matt Forte, Earl Be ...
