Win your fantasy football league with KFFL.com In 2008, KFFL.com told you Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers was in store for a big season.

However, draft him as a strong No. 2." The results? 4,038 passing yards, 32 total TD passes. KFFL.com's FREE Preseason Draft Guide can lead you to the Promised Land. Access it now....
Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports the Chicago Bears will look to get a long-term contract done with QB Jay Cutler, perhaps during the upcoming season.

"Just sitting out the rest of the season or sitting out until I was capable to play at 100 percent."
Sam Farmer, of the Los Angeles Times, reports Oakland Raiders QB Jeff Garcia believes he should be the team's starting quarterback this season, even though he is No. 2 on the depth chart behind QB JaMarcus Russell. "Not knocking JaMarcus or anybody else on the team, but I have a belief in my own abilities," Garcia said in a phone interview. "(That has) me feeling I am the best quarterback on the team. That's just how I approach the game."
Casey Pearce, of Chargers.com, reports San Diego Chargers DT Jamal Williams said he feels as good as he has in years heading into training camp. "I'll always tell people that I feel good, but right now, I'm not feeling the aches and pains or bumps and bruises," Williams said. "I'm feeling great, feeling fantastic. I'm just ready to rock and roll and get this thing started."

I just know he's going to be a big part of what we do and a big part of our success," Ryan said.

Know which players to avoid in your fantasy football draft Early mistakes can be costly! Having KFFL.com on your fantasy football team can make the difference. Last year, we told you banking on Patriots RB Laurence Maroney early was dangerous. "... Maroney's average draft position puts him at about 21st overall, quite a high price. He may still be a reasonable No. 3 back - especially late in the season - but drafting him in the second round is fantasy suicide, and he may only be a fantasy No. 4 at best early in the year." The results? 93 rushing yards, 0 TDs and a trip to Injured Reserve. KFFL.com's FREE Preseason Draft Guide can lead you to the Promised Land. Access it now....
