At this point in the season, we know who the studs are and who the duds are. But on a week by week basis, anything can happen, and previously unsung players can dominate the fantasy football landscape. I have evaluated match ups and all other factors to come out with a top 10 for every position. Use these rankings to find value in this week’s Fantazzle Freeroll, and take home free prizes. (more…)
Brown (Left) and Sanders (Right)
Heading into week 8 of the fantasy football season, you’re more than halfway to the finish line that is hopefully a league championship. As bye weeks become more crucial, it’s important to have solid depth on your roster so you’re comfortable slotting in one of your current players instead of frantically going through the bargain bin. A great rule to live by in the world of weekly fantasy football is that it’s wasteful and unwise to have players on your roster than you know you’re probably never going to play but you keep them around just in case they finally get on track (See: DeAngelo Williams). The players listed below will help solidify your roster and keep you from going insane during bye weeks. (more…)
Will the arrival of Carson Palmer help or hinder Darren McFadden?
The way in which the Raiders steamrolled the Browns on Sunday highlighted the contrast in running ability between the two teams. The Raiders run the ball easily.

If you own one of the bubble teams that is teetering around .500 and is questionable when it comes to playoffs, don’t sit back and hope your bust draft picks work out; be aggressive in the market and cut the fat that is surely weighing your fantasy football team down. The week’s wire spotlights some players who stumbled out of the gates but are primed to turn in on when it counts. (more…)
If the Eagles turn their season around, Lesean McCoy will be driving the engine.
Eagles-Redskins
The Eagles dominated a game in which the Vick mystique started to wear thin. The Eagles ran the Redskins off their own field but Michael Vick passed for 237 yards and ran for 54, numbers that while decent, are not what fantasy owners expected from a first round pick. If you were redrafting now, Vick wouldn’t come near the top spot on anyone’s draft board. (more…)
If Shonn Greene can run on the Patriots, can't your running back?
The game between the New England Patriots and New York Jets was frequently described as a matchup between a great offense and a great defense. Far less frequently does it get mentioned that it also pitted one of the league’s worst offenses against an atrocious defense. And that matchup was just as critical to the game. (more…)
