Carson Palmer not worth the price
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
The NFL trade deadline passed today, and the big winners were the Cincinnati Bengals and Carson Palmer. The Oakland Raiders' desperation at quarterback - Jason Campbell could be out the rest of the year with a broken collarbone - led them to take a huge risk for the future of the organization. Al Davis could [...]
The Denver dilemma: Tim Tebow revisited
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
I gave my two cents on this very same situation before the season started and now it looks like we're back in the very same spot after Week 5 of the schedule. The Denver Broncos are 1-4 (not surprising), in last place in the AFC West and quarterback controversy is back in a big way. [...]
Mike Shanahan giving fantasy footballers migraines
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
It's all but official now - after Week 4 - that Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan hates fantasy football. He either has never heard of it, or, more likely, he despises the popular game and has made it his No. 1 priority to surprise fantasy footballers on a weekly basis. Tim Hightower, Ryan Torain [...]
Pitching wins FANTASY baseball championships, too
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
Wow. What a way to end the 2011 Major League Baseball season, huh? I'm sure most of you die-hard baseball fans were glued to the tube last night to witness the epic choke jobs by the Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox. Much props to the Tampa Bay Rays and St. Louis Cardinals for never [...]
Dexter McCluster isn’t the savior for Kansas City
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
A lot can change in a year, just ask the Kansas City Chiefs. After two weeks of the 2011 schedule, the Chiefs have lost their best player on offense and defense. That's just rough. Jamaal Charles and Eric Berry are both on Injured Reserve with torn ACLs. Before the season even started, they also lost [...]
Some hope for Cam Newton. But how much can we expect?
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
After a shocking performance from Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Cam Newton in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, the Week 2 waiver wire is busy with pickups of the former Auburn product. Newton torched the Cards for 422 yards and two touchdowns, and he also added one rushing score. Nobody was expecting this. I can [...]
Pain in the neck: Colts’ season, Peyton Manning’s career in jeopardy?
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
Football fans across the globe can finally exhale. Yes, after a tumultuous offseason that included a painful lockout, Week 1 of the NFL is upon us. The effects of the extended lockout will surely be seen early in the 2011 season; we're likely to witness more nagging injuries and inconsistencies in performance (most notably with [...]
Matthew Stafford’s stock rising at rapid pace
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
I don't want to get ahead of myself in the preseason, but the Detroit Lions are 4-0 and Matthew Stafford is looking awfully good. Well, he better, since I have him paired with Jay Cutler as my backup in multiple leagues. As the fantasy football draft season enters its final week, I found myself taking [...]
Gang Green in for a tough year?
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
The New York Jets have reached the AFC Championship bout the past two seasons with Mark Sanchez at the helm under Rex Ryan's direction. However, Gang Green will need a lot to fall in their favor in 2011 for them to make it three semi-final appearances in a row. No matter how many people talk [...]
Philip Rivers: your key to fantasy success in 2011
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
I'm letting it be known now. I have a man crush on Philip Rivers this season. Am I secretly saying this to jinx the San Diego Chargers stud QB? Probably. I guess I'm trying anything to give my Denver Broncos a shot at competing in the AFC West. But seriously, I'm putting all division hatred [...]
The quarterback conundrum in Denver
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
The Denver Broncos reversed course late last week, declaring Kyle Orton the favorite to take snaps under center when their season kicks off against the Oakland Raiders on Monday Night Football September 12. So why the sudden change after Tim Tebow - the former college god at Florida and future franchise QB in Denver - [...]
The winner of the Ubaldo Jimenez swap is…?
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
Now that the non-waiver MLB trade deadline has passed, let's take a look at some of the swaps, most notably the big one: Ubaldo Jimenez to the Cleveland Indians. Tim Heaney gave a detailed wrap-up of all the movement over the weekend. Keep in mind that this isn't necessarily the end of big names being [...]
Washington Redskins: A model of futility
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
If you are a Washington Redskins fan, you might want to stop reading now… Please. Do yourself a favor and turn away. KFFL colleague Cory Bonini opined yesterday that the 'Skins have passed Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders as the worst run organization in the sport. And I wholeheartedly agree. Seriously, can you argue [...]
Gushing over my two-headed monster of Kershaw and Lincecum
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
My Triple Crown NL-only expert league team, which is currently trying to hold off SportingNews' George Winkler for the lead, was smiling ear to ear after the Los Angeles Dodgers-San Francisco Giants affair today. Dodgers southpaw hurler Clayton Kershaw went eight frames and surrendered three hits, walked one and struck out a career-high 12. He [...]
Time to arm yourself for the second half
By Keith Hernandez | Categories: Foul Territory
The 162-game baseball schedule is grueling, especially for those guys that toe the rubber every fifth day. This is why major league clubs need every available arm they can afford to get them through this marathon stretch of ball games. This principle holds true for your fantasy baseball stable of starters as well. It would [...]
