Don't give up Green-Ellis just yet
When scanning this week’s schedule, it is clear that there are fantasy football points to be had. These three games figure to feature some fireworks, and I take a look at how you can get a piece of the action.
New Orleans Saints @ Carolina Panthers
This game features two of the NFL’s top three passing offenses in terms of yards per game. Cam Newton and Drew Brees have played at a Pro Bowl level thus far, and I fully expect that to continue. The Saints have only two interceptions through four games, and that’s been the one weakness of the Panthers rookie QB. Carolina has been far more reliant on the pass than projected by most, frustrating DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart owners. Expect more of the same this week, as the Panthers figure to be playing from behind. Having said that, Stewart has more receiving yards than rushing yards thus far, making him the better of the two running backs this week. (more…)
Week 3 Fantasy Forecast
Thursday, September 22nd, 2011
A great dancer? No. But Jimmy Graham should have the chance to improve that when he scores against the Texans
This week we preview three games with major implications, both for the NFL teams, and more importantly, for your fantasy football team. We start with a pair of divisional rivals, as the New England Patriots visit the upstart Buffalo Bills, and the New York Giants travel to the city of brotherly love to play the Eagles.
Patriots @ Bills
Ryan Fitzpatrick has been solid all year, and should continue that trend this week. I expect Buffalo to be playing from behind, and thus rely heavily on the Harvard grad. Having said that, Roscoe Parrish is out for the rest of the year, and I have little faith in the WR's not named Stevie Johnson. (more...)

Which Standout Will Add This Guy To His Trophy Case?
The most coveted piece of individual hardware in college football is once again up for grabs and the competition promises to be fierce. The race to the Downtown Athletic Club is already well underway and the field is wide open this time around. Last year’s runner up is firmly in the mix and some outlandishly talented athletes are making big time plays as well. The field is predominantly centered around all-world offensive talents, but a couple defensive studs could make some noise as well. While handicapping the quest for this most prestigious accolade, make sure to pay close attention to the young men on teams with the greatest shot of playing for a national title. The last two Heisman Trophy recipients could be found on the roster of the national title champion.

2011 NFL Off-Season News: CBA Issues
Wednesday, February 16th, 2011
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is running out of time before the current CBA expires.
Now that we are two weeks removed from all fantasy football and the Super Bowl, the focus around the NFL is finding a resolution to their labor issues. With the current Collective Bargaining Agreement set to expire on March 10th the possibility of a lockout seems eminent. At this point in the negotiations the two sides are nearly 1 billion dollars apart when it comes to revenue sharing. The NFL currently makes just around nine billion dollars annually in revenue and the players collected nearly 53% of that last year. (more…)
