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 ...

With second year inside linebacker Sean Lee playing at an All-Pro level, the Cowboys defense is a respectable fantasy defense weekly. In the past two weeks, we've seen this squad play well against the Lions and Patriots, two of the better offenses in football and their matchup against the Rams this week, will make them one of the better plays for week seven. Last Updated - Oct. 17th Bills, Bengals, Patriots ...

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. ...

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 ...

Dolphins' rookie running back Daniel Thomas will look to make his mark in fantasy football leagues right away, as he attempts to win the starting job. Unless the Dolphins bring in an experienced veteran who will take the job from Thomas (don't expect that to happen) this kid should see the bulk of the work in the Dolphins backfield. Pre-free agency, we have Thomas as a 1,000 yard runner and a good bet to sc ...

The Rankings for our PPR Tier Cheat Sheet are much like that of our regular cheat sheet for PPR and our PPR player rankings found on the page. The one main difference is well, these rankings are tiered to give you an idea of the lumped degrees of talent at each position as found under general PPR league rules. Each position is color coded with the varying levels or tiers of rankings for whom we think are th ...

The main difference from PPR leagues vs standard redraft leagues are that you have added points for receptions. Many PPR leagues will give you one point per reception but some leagues may issue half a point or a set number of points for let's say each three receptions a player accumulates. In this style of play, the running backs, wide receivers and tight ends tend to see the flux in total point production, ...

When looking for a reliable fantasy defense, you want to find a group that holds opponents under twenty points a game, sacks the quarterback, and can create turnovers. While top defenses like the Steelers, Giants, Eagles, Ravens and Patriots all have quality players on defense, but only the Packers and Jets support shut down corners on the outside. Maybe that's why the sweepstakes for free agent to be Nnamd ...

Arian Foster didn't play in this game until late in the first half but he only need a half of football to dominate in this one. With over 150 yards of offense and two touchdowns, Foster is truly one of the top five fantasy runners for 2010. For more fantasy football insight from this game, listen to the podcast below.
