Tim Tebow just might be a real QB this week
Will Tim Tebow look like an actual quarterback this week and not just the rushing treat he has predominantly shown to be this season? I think so.
Our friends at FanDuel.com have set up a fun salary cap fantasy football challenge where you can take me on this weekend. It costs $2 to play and all you have to do is finish higher than me to land $5 in your bankroll. That is almost a lock with the way I have picked this year! Turn your minimal entry fee into $150 ... and more! There is $500 worth of prizes being dished out to the top teams, but it is limited to only 276 participants this week. Don't be left out in the cold when it comes to easy money before the holidays. Do you have what it takes? Try to beat me in Week 13!
Fantasy Football Paleontology: Unearthing Tarvarisaurus Rex
Why all the hate for Tarvaris Jackson? We've seen the bad, and a little bit of good, but he is an enigma at this point. Are we just afraid of the unknown?
I'm not saying you should draft T-Jax as your No. 1, but there is no reason why he can't back up a Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees on your roster. Is he really any worse than Kyle Orton, Mark Sanchez, Donovan McNabb, Ryan Fitzpatrick or Kevin Kolb? Tap your mouse here for more »
I just can’t help myself
I know you are tired of hearing about him, and I have a nearly exhausted my tolerance for writing about him, but Brett Favre may not be as done as people think.
The 41-year-old "retired" legend says his arm feels as good as ever, but he doesn't want to keep putting his body through the beatings it takes to play quarterback in the NFL. It's hard to fault him, and I want to believe he is being genuine, but the streak is over, so the pressure is off. Tap your mouse here for more »
Carson Palmer: What’s next?
According to published reports, head coach Marvin Lewis says Carson Palmer won't be a Cincinnati Bengal in 2011.
Should we be surprised? (Should we care?) Palmer reportedly says he is sitting on a mountain of cash and doesn't need Cincy's money. I believe he doesn't, but that kind of loot is tough to say no to. Tap your mouse here for more »
An early fantasy football value pick
The NFL labor dispute stands in the way of a 2011 fantasy football season, but that doesn't mean we haven't been focusing our attention on potential steals in your eventual drafts.
Obviously a lot will change between now and the start of the fantasy draft season. In the meantime, why not have some fun! Tap your mouse here for more »
2010 Projections Review – QBs: Where we went wrong
I firmly believe one of the foundations of developing accurate fantasy football projections is to understand where you went wrong the previous year. Recognizing mistakes and learning from them is the primary goal when reviewing; anyone can have dumb luck and come close a few times, but true, long-term success is measured by consistent production.
We projected roughly 700 players last year, so I'll chip away at the positions over the coming weeks to show you where we went wrong, what we did well, and how we will go about avoiding the same mistakes in 2011. Tap your mouse here for more »
Where does Donovan McNabb turn next?
What's next for Donovan McNabb? Benched for the remainder of the season, the veteran quarterback finds himself in uncharted territory in his 12-year. The threat had loomed at times in Philadelphia, but it was never handled as awkwardly as the Washington Redskins' coaching staff has chosen to deal with the benching. Tap your mouse here for more »
For the record, Tarvaris Jackson isn’t the answer
The big news of Week 14 was Brett Favre (shoulder, ankle, hand, you name it) missing his first game since Sept. 27, 1992. For the better part of the season, pundits have called for Tarvaris Jackson to replace the veteran gunslinger so the Minnesota Vikings could assess if T-Jax was their quarterback of the future.
That suggestion always made me laugh. Tap your mouse here for more »
Sidney Rice, Wes Welker, Tim Tebow and more
It's hard to believe we are approaching Week 10 already. This season has been filled with a lot of drama, and fantasy owners are digging deep trying to make that important playoff push.
I have a lot of fragments on my mind this week, and most of them have fantasy implications. As my brain floats aimlessly about the NFL, all I want is a decadent California burrito, warmer weather and frosty microbrew. Some things will have to wait longer than others, because it's a cold one outside! Tap your mouse here for more »
A rolling stone gathers no Randy Moss
After reading comments around the Internet, it's pretty clear there is a division among Minnesota Vikings fans when it comes to Randy Moss' release. Most vocal, though, were those against the move. Yet, people in favor of the enigmatic wideout's release chiefly said the same thing, it seemed: Bringing in Moss was a poor idea in the first place. Tap your mouse here for more »
