Last week the Steelers were a trendy top defense to draft in playoff fantasy leagues for the wild-card round, as it appeared teams had caught up to Tim Tebow's tendency's and surely Pittsburgh would capitalize with a solid performance. Well, Tebow Time struck again with another surprising victory, as the Steelers did a poor job of setting the edge on the left side of the field, which allowed Tebow to make k ...

For those of you that are new to playoff fantasy football, the name of the game is basically to not just select the highest scoring players for this week, but you want to choose players who have better odds to advance to the next round. Some websites will put a salary cap for your squad, with dollar values for each player. Other sites may allow you to pick anyone available, but you have to decide which play ...

In what could be a win for the division title and a first-round bye, expect the Steelers to use all the healthy normal starters they can suit up to play against the Browns this week. Even last week, without Ben Roethlisberger this defense posted a shutout against the Rams, and it's likely they will hold the Browns under 14 points, even with Seneca Wallace bringing some life to their offense last week. Keep ...

In light of the results from the Texans lose to the Panthers, and the Colts first win of the season, Houston's week sixteen matchup in Indianapolis may not be a big blowout after all. No, the Colts didn't find a passing attack last week, but their defense stepped up and made plays, as they rolled to an easy finish against the Titans. Still if you're in need of a solid top ten matchup for Super Bowl week, it ...

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 ...

Deeper into free agency we go, as free agents are ready to sign new deals as the lockout has come to pass. In part, one of my free agent trackers, I covered the notable signings and trades from Tuesday through Thursday. As I write this, teams now have the ability to sign their agreed contracts, and it looks like they will be able to finalize trades starting Saturday. While Nnamdi Asomugha was projected to b ...

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 many fantasy football experts will advise otherwise, it seems there are still going to be those general fantasy owners who will ignore Maurice Jones-Drew's health concerns and draft him as a No.1 running back and bid over 45 dollars for him. Time will tell just how healthy MJD's knee really is, and if he can touch the football around 250 times this season, I believe he can give you the value you're go ...

Another year looks to be heading our way after a long lockout that is still going through, what is hopefully the final stages before an agreement is settled in July. With the up beat news from negotiations I had to participate in a few mock drafts as we head into the early stages of the summer, and our first view of results with other fantasy owners in the room. Mock drafts are in no way the end all for fan ...

Coming into the past few seasons I've ranked Titans Rob Bironas as the top kicker to draft because he was on a team that gave him consistent opportunities, and he could deliver from long distances with regularity. For as much talent as Bironas has, the Titans are clearly in flux and even the best kickers need stability to be a useful starting option for fantasy football. While I don't find Bironas to be a w ...
