    Who are you dropping?

    To pick up a player on waiver wire, you obviously have to also drop someone. After doing all your research during the off-season and preparing for your draft, who are players that you are now giving up on after only one week and dropping for someone else that wasn't drafted? I know there is a...

    Replacement Writer for the Jets

    What if the writers/journalists went on strike and they got replacement writers... http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390443328404578020412051252872.html?mod=wsj_share_tweet

    Avoid Thursday Night Players?

    Last week's game was just brutal for anyone except maybe the defenses. One of the commentators made some statement about the short week pretty much eliminating most of the preparation for the game...a lot of player won't even get any practice time in before the game. I could definitely see that...

    Top PKs going forward

    It's widely known that Herman is by far the best analyst at projecting kickers. He publishes his weekly rankings in kickermania, but I haven't seen an updated kicker ranking going forward. I believe the 250+ Forward is just Dodds PK rankings. Does Herman publish one or is there some other tool...

    Turner

    Turner is an interesting player to me in PPR leagues. During the last years he has been very consistent in the games that he is active in and I think he is in for a very solid season. The obvious problem with him is his lack of involvement in the passing game. After the top 4-5 RBs I see him as...

    Starting both Jacobs and Bradshaw

    Any inside or homer information on NYG's plan for play distribution? The speculation is that they will be running the ball a ton since Manning is dealing with his plantar fasciitis. If they are, are any people out starting both of them? It looks like a couple of teams have had success for two...

    Player Ranking / Draft Tool Question

    I am a big fan of using DD for my draft. I use the staff projection as a starting point and then tweak the projections based on my own thoughts and gut feelings. My question is how do you account for ranges in your projections or rankings when you draft? You may have two players with similar...

    When would you draft the top tier WRs?

    Most articles (perfect draft, draft slot #, etc) and mockdrafts (fantasy football calculator) have 1 QB, 2 RBs, and 3 WRs in their starting lineup and the first WRs (usually Fitz and Moss) are going in the middle of the first round. My league has a 2 RB and 2 WR starting lineup, and that...

    Tie breaker in Playoff Matchup

    Unbelievable... We use decimal scoring in our league and in one of the semi-finals this week two team tied. In the regular season this would count as a tie, but can't do that in the playoffs. How do you deal with this in your league?

    Who's starting Brandon Jacobs?

    I'm not sure about him getting 20-23 carries since he hasn't gotten more than 22 all season and currently average about 17, but this would indicate full workload. I was wondering what the consensus is among the Jacobs owners. Are you benching him, starting him over other choices, or starting...

    Colston

    I haven't heard any news on him or their practices now that they are on a bye. Will he still be wearing the cast or some sort of special equipment after the bye, or is he back to normal?

    Lee Evans This Week

    Most of the fantasy sites (incl. footballguys) have Evans ranked pretty high this week...most of them top 10. As an Evans owner I definitely hope he will have a good week, but while he has produced good points the last couple of weeks, that's just because two of his four total catches over the...

    Big loss for JAX offense

    Sorry if already mentioned, but I didn't see any other threads on this. JAX lost both their starting OGs (Manuwai and Williams) to potentially long-lasting injuries...could be season-ending. Manuwai hurt knee and Williams tore his bicep. This is a huge blow to especially Taylor and MJD, but...

    Chicago and Tenn WRs

    After going through my draft, I was looking at the depth chart in the draft dominator and noticed that not a single WR was picked from CHI or TEN. We only start 2 WRs and no flex, so each team drafted 4-5 WRs...for a total of about 50 WRs. With most NFL teams having two or three WRs drafted, it...

    Miami's D

    The Top 250 Forward has Miami pretty highly ranked, but in our league they are so far the worst defense in the league. They have a couple of favorable matchup coming up (Oak, injured Hou, and Cle) can they start producing better numbers on defense? I haven't seen any of their games but two of...

    Cincy's Defensive Lapses

    As a Seahawk fan, I am hoping that the Seahawks offense can reproduce what Cleveland was able to put together against Cincy last week. So I looked back at Cincy's 2004 season when they had the shootout with Cleveland to see what happend in the games following the shootout. 2004 week 12 against...

    Ronnie Brown Expectations

    Ronnie Brown has been pretty consistent his first two years (900-1000 yards, 4-5 TDs, mid 200s receiving yards). All of the FBGs projections have him significantly improving on his stats from the first two years....WHY? I just don't see a good reason why he would significantly improve this...

    NYG O-line

    I did not watch the Giants game this past weekend, but I saw a news item on the blogger that said OL Steve Edwards was signed yesterday because "Shaun O'Hara sprained his ankle and Kareem McKenzie hurt his neck. Their status for Week 15 is uncertain."...

    Detroit O-line

    Does anyone know when Tucker and Verba is expected back. Kevin Jones have been able to put up pretty good numbers (mostly against bad defenses) with a suspect o-line. The return of Tucker and Verba would probably help him stabilize his week-to-week performances.

    Housh Long-Term

    All I know is that this was reported as a heel issue. Does anyone know anything more details about this or other players who have had similar injuries? Is this something that is expected to go away with some rest or something that could bother him all season?
