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 ...

Another playoff fantasy football challenge is upon us as drafts are going on throughout this week, in preparation for the beginning of the post season on Saturday. While I put together player rankings for each position to get you set for the wild-card round, I've gone ahead and put together a cheat sheet for all players in the entire playoffs. While many of you will likely play on ESPN, NFL.com or other maj ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

After a 62 to 7 shellacking over the Colts, the Saints defense has another stellar matchup this week as the head out to St. Louis to take on the win-less Rams. While A.J. Feeley wasn't exactly horrible against the Cowboys, he failed to lead the team down the field for more than seven points, and that drive was more about the terrific running from Steven Jackson,than Feeley throwing the football. Sam Bradfor ...

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. ...

It doesn't seem to matter how far away the Raiders are from the goal post, they just allow Sebastian Janikowski to attempt field goal after field goal and why not. Janikowski has already tied the leagues longest field goal this year, and against the Jets, he attempted field goals from 49, 54 and 56 and converted two of them. With the Raiders playing winning football, look for Janikowski to post top five num ...

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 ...
