Bradshaw Named Giants Starting Running Back
One of the worst-kept secrets in football was Brandon Jacobs losing favor with Coach Tom Coughlin and the New York Giants. He worked with the second team throughout the preseason and despite Coughlin’s excellent poker face, it’s obvious what was happening. Bradshaw is the faster and more explosive back, while Jacobs hasn’t been the same since [...] -
Big Ben’s Suspension Lowered to Four Games
As expected, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell lowered Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger’s suspension from six games to four games Friday. The news couldn’t have come at a better time for the Steelers, who lost stopgap quarterback Byron Leftwich to a sprained MCL in Thursday’s game against Carolina. That leaves either Dennis Dixon or Charlie Batch to start [...] -
AFC West Preview: San Diego Watch Your Back
The AFC West is probably the second worst division in the NFL, after the NFC West. However, these are still NFL teams, with real people playing football for a living. They aren’t just going to roll over and die when they play the “elite” teams. There are two types of teams in [...] -
The Running Back Stable Draft Strategy
With the decline in the number of lone lead running backs in the NFL and increase in the number of shared backfields and running backs by committee a new fantasy football draft strategy is emerging as a very viable option. This new strategy may be something to implore now, especially if you have a [...] -
NFC West Preview: Someone’s Gotta Win it
The NFC West combined to win 24 games in 2009, the least of any division in football. In 2010, it will probably be more of the same. The loss of Kurt Warner and Boldin will be a big hit to the Cardinals offense. The Seattle made enough moves to look like they [...] -
Rams’ Donnie Avery May Miss 2010 Season
Just what the St. Louis Rams needed: more bad news before the season even starts. The team’s top receiver, Donnie Avery, suffered a severe injury in last night’s preseason game against New England. Initial reports indicate a torn ACL in his right knee. The Rams haven’t confirmed, but suffice it to say he needs to [...] -
NFL Headed for “Enhanced” Season
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is continuing his push for an 18-game “Enhanced Season.” He made his case at a press conference today. Between the labor woes hovering and an owners’ vote that still needs to take place, Goodell said any schedule change wouldn’t happen before 2012. While no official vote has taken place, Goodell wouldn’t be [...] -
NFC South Preview: Tampa Bay Worst to First?
If you believe in trends, or miracles, then you have to pick the Tampa Bays Bucs to win at least nine games. For the seven years that the NFC South has been around, the last place team has returned the following year to win at least nine games, won the division 5 of 7 [...] -
Sidney Rice May Miss 8 Weeks After Hip Surgery
At this rate, Brett Favre may wish he had kept his seat on the world’s most uncomfortable tractor. The Minnesota Vikings have gone from trendy Super Bowl pick to the walking wounded. Sidney Rice told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune he has undergone hip surgery. The hip injury has lingered since the NFC Championship Game and Rice [...] -
C.J. Spiller Staking Claim to Bills’ RB Job
Running back by committee situations make fantasy football players weep audibly. The Buffalo Bills running back quandary started the preseason as a mess worthy of say, Denver Broncos proportions. In 2009, Buffalo frustrated fantasy players with the tantalizing tandem of Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson. Lynch had the track record and the pedigree, but Fred Jackson [...]
