Christian Ponder- Keep an eye on Christian Ponders hip injury, but if he's at full practice by weeks end, he should be a worthy starter against the Lions. Ponder looked good against the Broncos, and with Percy Harvin playing at his best, Ponder is worth a start if you've been going with someone like Ben Roethlisberger or Philip Rivers this year. Expect the Vikings to be in another high-scoring game, as thei ...

Eli Manning @ Cowboys - Another week, another high scoring back and forth contest for Eli Manning and the Giants offense. While New York's schedule down the stretch hasn't worked out well in terms of wins and losses, fantasy owners are loving that Manning continues to find himself in matchups where he finds himself throwing for over 350 yards and three scores a game. Maybe Manning isn't one of the elite NFL ...

Matt Ryan @ Texans - It's unfortunate that Matt Schaub nor Matt Leinart will be on the field for the Texans, because this matchup had the makings for a shootout. That said, Ryan has been on a hot streak of late as he's thrown for no less few than 262 yards in each of his past three games and at least 32 passing attempts in each game as well. I still knock the Falcons for not taking more shots down the field ...

Jay Cutler vs. Chargers - While Jay Cutler has been playing well of late, his numbers in the stat box haven't been what you would expect from a quarterback that showed so much promise for fantasy in his time with Denver. As we all know, the Bears offensive line for pass protection can be suspect, and Cutler's receiving core remains as one of the worst in football. Audio: Jay Culter Is An Option To Start Thi ...

Tim Tebow @ Chiefs - This time a week ago fantasy owners had to wonder if Tim Tebow would play well enough against the Raiders to even finish the game, let alone be a viable fantasy option. While the media seemed to rip Tebow up one side and down the other all week, he found a way to lead his team to a road victory against the Raiders. Tebow won't have the typical stat line we're used to seeing from a top t ...

What a bad week it was for running backs as ineffective play and injuries have many fantasy owners feeling beat-up and bruised coming into week eight. To help you fight your way though the bye weeks, I have an extended listed of running backs to keep an eye on for this week and future weeks. More Wk 8 Rankings – QB | RB | WR | TE | Flex | K/D | DL | LB | DB | Waivers | Start/Sit | Running Backs Ben Tate - T ...

Tim Tebow vs Lions - Looking ugly most of the game, much will be made of how Tim Tebow looked as led his team back to victory against the Dolphins and rightfully so. The end result is a good one for most fantasy owners (pending on your leagues scoring rules) because the young man can run the football and when you can rack up 60 yards or more as a quarterback, it's going to make you a solid fantasy option. W ...

What a season it was for Michael Vick as he finally put the entire package together that we've all been hoping to see since he left Virgina Tech and headed to the Falcons. In Atlanta, Vick never had a creative mind like Andy Reid overseeing the offense and the talent around him was average at best. Now with targets like DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin and possibly Plaxico Burress, Vick is clearly a top five q ...

Join us throughout the 2011 NFL draft as we will be posting live updates of every selection in the first round. The Panthers are expected to get things rolling with the first overall pick, and it appears likely they will go with quarterback Cam Newton. While it looks like players will be back to work next week, teams are not expected to use players like Kevin Kolb in trade, at the draft. Instead teams can u ...

1. Carolina Panthers: Cam Newton, QB, Auburn If he isn't the pick, open your windows and listen to half the world cheer and the other half to gasp in disbelief. 2. Denver Broncos: Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama Best defensive lineman in the draft goes to the team with the worst defensive line. It's the circle of life. 3. Buffalo Bills: Von Miller, OLB, Texas A&M I'm not convinced this is the pick. Why? It ...
