A hail mary pass at the end of the first half, gave the Chiefs seven of the ten points they needed to beat the Bears, but it's likely they won't find that fortune this week against the Jets. Kansas City has one of the worst offenses in football with Tyler Palko likely to stay under center with Kyle Orton suffering a hand injury on his only play last week. This week we have the Jets listed as the top team de ...

Sure the New England Patriots are playing with a third rate secondary in terms of talent, but they've been getting the job done when opposing offenses creep inside the red zone. This week the Patriots get their second great matchup in the last three weeks as they return home to face the Colts offense. While Indianapolis had some success last week, New England should be good for at least four sacks and two o ...

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 ...

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. ...

While wide receivers are still important in standard fantasy football leagues, they don't hold the same auction values for PPR leagues because of the loss in point production for receptions. This is why Calvin Johnson is our only pass catcher listed at the 40 dollar level or higher for 200 dollar cap auction drafts. Andre Johnson and Roddy White are close seconds because they have top end track records, but ...

If you were to compare out auction ppr league cheat sheet with our standard redraft league auction cheat sheet you would notice that values are a little lower for quarterbacks, kickers, team defense and those position players who fail to rack up a respectable amount of receptions. The reason is simple, in these leagues the main difference is that you're getting point production for receptions and only runni ...

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 ...

Brandon Marshall's first year in Miami proved to be a disappointment as he struggled with nagging injuries and failed to be a useful starting option for standard redraft scoring leagues. For some reason, I actually have a funny feeling that, if given the chance, quarterback Chad Henne will have a better season than last year. If so, and most of all if Marshall can stay healthy, he should return to be a top ...
