In what could be a win for the division title and a first-round bye, expect the Steelers to use all the healthy normal starters they can suit up to play against the Browns this week. Even last week, without Ben Roethlisberger this defense posted a shutout against the Rams, and it's likely they will hold the Browns under 14 points, even with Seneca Wallace bringing some life to their offense last week. Keep ...

The Rams suffered a disappointing overtime loss to the Cardinals last week, but the defense was solid and even posted two safeties against John Skelton. This week, St. Louis heads back on the road and has another solid matchup against the Browns. If your normal defense happens to be under achieving of late, or has a matchup you don't like this week, think about picking the Rams up off the waiver wire. Last ...

It's time for fantasy owners to keep in mind some of the more pitiful offenses around the league, and find a defense that plays them on the waiver wire to exploit these matchups. As funny as this sounds, the Colts have to be the worst team in the NFL, and their offense is in poor shape as quarterback Curtis Painter continues to regress from his early marginal success against the Buccaneers and Chiefs. Look ...

After a 62 to 7 shellacking over the Colts, the Saints defense has another stellar matchup this week as the head out to St. Louis to take on the win-less Rams. While A.J. Feeley wasn't exactly horrible against the Cowboys, he failed to lead the team down the field for more than seven points, and that drive was more about the terrific running from Steven Jackson,than Feeley throwing the football. Sam Bradfor ...

Another emotional game is on tap for the Raiders as the return to Oakland for the first time since their owner Al Davis passed away. The Raiders got it done against the Texans, and the defense stepped up late abusing Matt Schaub in the backfield and intercepting him to finish the game. This is going to be a tough atmosphere for the Cleveland Browns to play in, and I expect the Raiders to dominate this game. ...

It doesn't seem to matter how far away the Raiders are from the goal post, they just allow Sebastian Janikowski to attempt field goal after field goal and why not. Janikowski has already tied the leagues longest field goal this year, and against the Jets, he attempted field goals from 49, 54 and 56 and converted two of them. With the Raiders playing winning football, look for Janikowski to post top five num ...

The Chargers defense had a tough day against Tom Brady last week but they comeback home to a must start matchup against the Chiefs. With a passing game in shambles and Jamaal Charles done for the year, the Chiefs are going to be a very bad offense, and fantasy owners need to target opposing defenses that play against them.

While kickers and team defenses are a part of fantasy football we won't be doing much in-depth analysis this year on these areas. We will have a weekly listing for both areas but it's the other parts of your team that hold more interest and tend to be the higher scoring areas.

Delving into recent mock draft trends for PPR leagues I decided to break down a recent mock I participated in on Fantasy Football Calculator website. Below I have a listed all fifteen rounds and the players I selected in each round. I've also included some thoughts on each player to help you with some possible final thoughts before you entire your live draft. You can also find a breakdown of the first five ...

With Chris Johnson's continued holdout for a new contract, I'm sure many of you are concerned about his prospects to play most of this season. While Johnson will likely miss time into the season, I still recommend you look to him as one of the top six running backs to own in keeper / dynasty leagues. Sure, in the short run that might mean you have to pick up an extra mid round running back to use in your li ...
