Calvin Johnson @ Saints - Perhaps it's best to pass on Calvin Johnson if you're in a playoff fantasy contest that rewards bonus points in future rounds, on winning teams, as it's likely, the Lions will lose, but that's a hard thing to do. Johnson had a slow stretch when Matthew Stafford was struggling with a broken finger on his throwing hand but in the past three weeks, Johnson has totaled 560 yards (two g ...

Did your team suck? Well, assuming you’re an avid visitor to Fantasy-Info.com, I doubt it did. But maybe you simply have so many fantasy football teams that one of them did suck. Rather than spend time praising the players who helped you reach the playoffs, let’s bash those who didn’t do a damn thing to help you. This team will select its players as though it came from a real, live fantasy draft back in lat ...

Hakeem Nicks @ Patriots - It looks like Hakeem Nicks has a chance to play after a hamstring injury kept him out of the final minutes of the teams close victory over the Dolphins. Keep an eye on Nicks's late week practice participation, but if he's a go against the Patriots, he should be a WR-1 play for at least PPR leagues, as Eli Manning's favorite target. As I talked about in our standard scoring week nin ...

DeMarco Murray vs Eagles - A hot name off the waiver wire turned fantasy gold, as rookie running back DeMarco Murray broke the Cowboys single game rushing record in his first game as a feature back. Sure, Murray's stats were helped by a 91-yard touchdown score at the start of the game, but if you look at his rushing numbers after that touchdown he still posted over 160 yards on 24 carries. Audio: DeMarco Mu ...

Brandon Lloyd @ Cowboys - It's a case of good news, bad news for Brandon Lloyd as the Rams traded for him on Monday. The good news is that he reunites with his old Head Coach Josh McDaniels and will play in the offensive system that gave him so much success a year ago. The bad news, is that quarterback Sam Bradford has a high ankle sprain and even if Bradford plays this week, he won't have much time to work ...

Torrey Smith @ Jaguars - Keep an eye on Lee Evans progress in practice, but if Torrey Smith continues to play well, it's going to be hard for Evans to win a starting job again. Smith struggled early in camp, and the Ravens made a trade for Evans to give Joe Flacco a respectable No.2 receiver that was ready to make an impact down the field. As fortune would have it, Evans suffered an ankle injury within the ...

This could be the start of a career year for Calvin Johnson as he started off with a bang against the Buccaneers with two touchdowns on the road. As long as Matthew Stafford is on the field for a full season, it wouldn't shock me if Johnson made a run for twenty touchdowns this year. Look for Megatron to have another stealer performance against the a Chiefs defense that will be without star safety Eric Berr ...

With Jeremy Maclin gone for who knows how long, DeSean Jackson stands to benefit with more targets from Michael Vick. While Jackson holds a better value in standard scoring leagues, he's still a worthy option to target as an early No.2 receiver in PPR leagues as he has a respectable chance to nab 75 plus receptions this year. When you consider that Jackson posted over 1,000 yards receiving in only 47 recept ...

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 ...

111. Hines Ward (ADP 96.43) - Hines Ward production dropped off noticeably last season as he became an option that was best served on the bench. Taking him around this point in the draft is about right as he could bounce back for close to 1,000 yards, but he shouldn't be viewed as an option for a starter. 112. Johnny Knox (ADP 103.97) - I think most people in fantasy land were a little taken back by the Bea ...
