Quarterbacks Tim Tebow (Bye Week) - The Tim Tebow era has begun after John Fox finally benched Kyle Orton in the second half of a loss to the Chargers. While Tebow still has much to learn, he is a must pick up for those of you that are in need of a spark at the quarterback position. Yes, Tebow has a bye week coming up, and maybe Fox will play the old, "we will see, who starts" routine but just the look in O ...

Each week we will have a podcast out after the Sunday games, to talk about the studs and duds of the week and what fantasy owners can take away from weekly action. This week our studs are highlighted by some unexpected names like Cam Newton, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Joe Flacco. While their were some running backs that had strong performances like Matt Forte, Ray Rice and even Beanie Wells it was the quarterback ...

Matt Cassel A Go For Week One After reports that Matt Cassel might miss the teams' opener, the Chiefs starting quarterback resumed practice on Monday and is now expected to go against the Bills. Fantasy Impact - While it seems many fantasy owners are laughing at the thought of making Dwayne Bowe a WR-1 on draft day, those who drafted him as their second options should smile this year if Cassel is on the fie ...

While Ben Roethlisberger plays on a team that has a long history for running the football, it's clear that while he's in the prime of his career, Pittsburgh will continue to put the football in the air. Why not, as the Steelers have done a good job of providing Roethlisberger with solid depth at receiver in recent years. While Roethlisberger isn't one of the elite quarterbacks in fantasy football, he's stil ...

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 ...

Joe Flacco was hyped as a possible fantasy sleeper in 2010, but his lack of a respectable deep threat, made the Ravens passing offense predictable as defenses could sit down on short passing routes. After Baltimore played the Eagles in the first week of preseason, it was clear that rookie Torrey Smith had some work to do before he was ready to be a starting option. Audio: Lee Evans Impact On The Ravens Enti ...

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 ...

While I have my doubts about Michael Turner holding up past this season, he still makes for one of the better pure touchdown makers in fantasy football. Understanding this, it makes perfect sense to target Turner as one of the top five running backs to select in touchdown only leagues, and a clear first round pick. The Falcons are set to make a run for the division title once again, and while they may lose ...
