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 ...

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. More Week 3 Rankings: QB | RB | WR | TE | K/D | DL | LB | DB | Waiver Wire | Start/Si ...

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. More Week 1 Rankings - QB | RB | WR | TE | K/D | DL | LB | DB | Last Updated - Sep. 5th Kickers 1 Nate Kaeding Vikings 2 Neil Racker ...

The second week of the preseason is all but done as starters played more snaps as we continue to reassess fantasy player values around the league. Below we have our weekly full podcast as the fantasy philosophers discuss some of the notable players of interest from this weeks' games. As always, I have quick breakdown write up of each section of the podcast with a link to our pod home page so you can listen ...

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 ...

Over this past weekend, I had the pleasure to partake in a mock draft with my Dad on Mock Draft Central. With so many players moving around the league, it was time to sit down and figure out where players are currently landing round by round as player values are moving up and down at a faster rate than we've ever seen in August. The mock draft results below are a breakdown of the entire draft through all fi ...

71. Matt Schaub (ADP 79.70) - Around this time of the draft, if you failed to select one of the top seven quarterbacks (Manning, Brees, Rodgers, Vick, Brady, Rivers, Romo) I believe Matt Schaub is your next-best bet for starting success. Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford and Sam Bradford are possible breakout options, and Ben Roethlisberger, and Eli Manning can be productive. That said, Schaub still has a his ful ...
