I started the season 2-0, but my third matchup didn’t go quite as I had hoped it would. NovaFantasySports’ Dan Pacheco chose the Tennessee Titans, so I rolled with my failsafe Minnesota Vikings.
Chris Johnson is fast. I don’t think fast is even the word. The guy is ridiculous on this game, and no matter what I did to bottle up Johnson, Dan found a way to speed the second-year tailback past my defenders, mainly by way of the screen pass. Johnson posted nine catches for 147 yards and scored a touchdown through the air. Want more? Keep reading…

The bye weeks begin and with this comes the need for fantasy owners to pick up a defense if their only defense is on bye. My advice here is to make sure you play the weekly defensive matchup but be careful.

Here are a few sleepers, mixed in with one fantasy stud you don’t bench, for Week 4.
Kerry Collins, quarterback, Tennessee Titans: The veteran passer has a favorable matchup for Week 4 play, and desperate owners should take notice.

Before the Week 3 games kicked off, I participated in the second installment of the Fantasy Football Roundtable. The question: Every year a handful of receivers emerge from obscurity to become fantasy relevant. This year a few relatively overlooked receivers such as Earl Bennett, Mario Manningham and Andre Caldwell showed signs that they could be factors in 2009. Who are your two or three favorite surprise receivers for this season? Want more? Keep reading…

MyFantasyLeague.com’s Brandon Coughlin and I entered a grueling defensive battle in my second game of the Xbox/EXperts Madden 10 challenge. He chose the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and I ran with the Atlanta Falcons for the first time ever.
I kicked off to the Bucs to open the game, and Brandon drove down the field to boot through a three-pointer for the game’s initial score. I responded with a field goal early in the second quarter to bring it even. Want more? Keep reading…
