The Packers were dominant at home against a beat-up Raiders team that clearly didn't come to play. This week Mason Crosby and the Packers team defense are listed as our top players to start for their respective positions, as they head out to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs. On Monday, the Chiefs finally fired Coach Todd Haley and it was about time, as after losing Matt Cassel, Haley's only answer at quart ...

Sure the New England Patriots are playing with a third rate secondary in terms of talent, but they've been getting the job done when opposing offenses creep inside the red zone. This week the Patriots get their second great matchup in the last three weeks as they return home to face the Colts offense. While Indianapolis had some success last week, New England should be good for at least four sacks and two o ...

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 ...

With second year inside linebacker Sean Lee playing at an All-Pro level, the Cowboys defense is a respectable fantasy defense weekly. In the past two weeks, we've seen this squad play well against the Lions and Patriots, two of the better offenses in football and their matchup against the Rams this week, will make them one of the better plays for week seven. Last Updated - Oct. 17th Bills, Bengals, Patriots ...

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 ...

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 ...

Another mock draft up as I took part in an eight team mock over on ESPN.com, and have the results listed below. While free mock drafts on ESPN are useful, they are clearly not the final stamp on exactly where players are going to end up at your live draft. However, I find it interesting to see which players are going high, and which players may be falling down. If anything, mock drafts can give you a bird's ...

If you're looking to play in an auction fantasy football league, ESPN has a free mock draft lobby to help you get ready for your live draft. Over the years, I found that you tend to see the same trends or personalities in many of these draft rooms. You always seem to have an owners who wants to stretch his cap out to get a wide grouping of solid players, as is mostly the case with team one in this mock. Moc ...

With DeAngelo Williams set to hit free agency, it looks like Jonathan Stewart will finally get the starting job for the Panthers to begin the year. Sadly, the Panthers have fallen a long way from where they were in Stewart's rookie season, when they were riding high atop the NFC South. Because of Stewart's continued health problems over his first three seasons, it seems the hype or love in fantasy circles h ...
