Fantasy Football Start’em Sit’em and Sleepers for Week 3

FFGoat

What a wild and crazy week of games. There were eight quarterbacks throwing for over 300 yards last weekend and Monday nights score fest provided a ton of drama in leagues everywhere. Hopefully you were the benefactor of all of the scoring.

Looking ahead to this weekend, there are a few more potential score fests and my first pick should be in line for another high scoring fantasy performance.

NFC North Offensive Lines: Vikings Stake Claim To Top Spot

FFGoat

The Minnesota Vikings may have made a big splash in the offseason by acquiring defensive lineman Jared Allen from Kansas City, but the team's biggest asset is on the offensive side of the ball. The Vikings are not only the top-rated offensive line in their conference and division, but they might very well be the best in the National Football League. With Adrian Peterson, an improving young quarterback in Tavaris Jackson and the addition of wide receiver Bernard Berria [...]

Favre could return, do the Packers want him?

twilliams

When Brett Favre announced his retirement, I wrote this :

"A few days ago Favre was lobbying for the Packers to get Moss. Right after Moss signs with the Patriots, Favre announces he is retiring. If he is not retiring because of Moss, then why is the timing so convienent, and why was he on board with improving the 2008 Packers a few days ago? Personally I feel this decision was made based on emotion, and I don't think Favre is done for good. This Packers team is a team that [...]

NFL Picks, Predictions and Fantasy Football Notes: NFC North

FFGoat

One of the things I have enjoyed the most - as I have been going division to division offering up my early bird analysis - is reading your comments and hearing your assessment of the teams and divisions. You are educating me and helping me stay sharp. Just wanted to thank you for that.

For today's post I am going to take on the the division that is near and dear to my heart, the NFC North. Why is it near and dear you ask? Well my beloved Vikings are a part of this division.

Obvious NFL Expert Picks: Superbowl XXXI Rematch?

I am going to keep this one short because I am betting you have read about ten other prediction just like this. It is just that I am 6 and 2 guessing the games in the playoffs so I might as well keep it rolling. Here you go.

Green Bay (-7) over New York
The Giants are a pesky group but I don’t see taking this one straight up. However, I can definitely see them covering. Regardless, it will be interesting considering that gametime temps are forecas [...]

Playoff Fantasy Football Cheat Sheet and Sleepers Week 2

FFGoat

There were some pretty surprising performances last week. Antwaan Randle El, Vincent Jackson and D.J. Hackett far exceeded expectations while usual studs like Plaxico Burress and Clinton Portis laid a freakin egg.

As for my sleepers selections last week, Shaun Alexander, Nate Keading and Jeremy Stevens didn’t work out as well as I thought. But, Shaun and Nate each have a legitimate shot at posting some solid numbers this week.

Hopefully you took my a [...]

Thursday Night Foooooooty

christner

Hello football fans,

I know your as excited as I am that Thursday night football is once again here to make Thursdays actually meaningful. I love Thursday football, especially when its two teams that have had a full week to prepare for the game (I think they should have it all year long using the teams that are on the previous bye-week to play the next week on Thurs, but thats another blog). This weeks matchup promises to be a battle of two powerhouses which both have near guarenteed p [...]

I can’t believe that we are a week away from Thanksgiving already. Where does the time go?

Here are some waiver wire and sleeper picks for you to check out. There are a ton of guys on my list because I play in some deeper leagues. I need to look a little deeper than most.

Chris Henry WR (CIN) - He’s back and he didn’t waste any time getting back in the action. 4 catches for 99 yards.

My Cleveland Browns Helmet Got A Makeover Revisited

FFGoat

Seeing as how it is a big week for intra division rivalry games in the NFL - notably the Browns/Steelers game - I figured I would repost an article I did way back in July.

I was thinking of how things have change since July. When I wrote this it looked like another re-building year for the Browns but now that has changed big time. Not only do the Browns have an outside shot at the play-offs but I think they have a shot against the Steelers. No matter what happens, it will be a better [...]

Your Fantasy Football Start’em Sit’em and Sleepers for Week 9

FFGoat

We are past the midpoint of the season and before you know it your fantasy football play-offs will be in full swing. Every start becomes even more critical from this point forward if you expect to be in the playoffs. That is why my friend I took a little extra care in choosing my seven players for this weekends games.

Real quick, here’s a little reminder of how I have things set up. I list two players who I think deserve a start and two players that I think should ride the pine. [...]

Here are some waiver wire and sleeper picks that I didn’t see on the Bruno Boys week eight waiver wire report. I play in some deeper leagues so I need to look a little deeper than most.

Mostly it is just a list with a mix of slightly unknown guys who had big days and injury replacements. Some of these guys could help you out now or just provide you with some depth and/or upside on your bench. Check them out:

Cellllebraation! (Woohoo!)

This weekend Brett Favre broke another record and I have heard nary a word about it. Where's the pomp? Where's the circumstance? Why wasn't the game stopped for the ensuing celebration? Why wasn't Dan Marino doing the happy dance on CBS? It's un-American tha [...]

Today went badly

Kalk

This week was going well.......I was in the top 5 on the challenge for the week.......then today happened. 2-5 today.......went from about 1500 up to 500 down in one day. My NFL picks were good.......if they were flat wins......but three teams failed to bead the spread. Baltimore only won by 2, and Arizona and Houston only one by 3 each.......the GB one was bad though, as they failed to stop a woeful Bears team and lost by 7--the only NFL team I picked that lost straight up. Indians choked, but [...]

NEWS FLASH: Lions 2-0, Hell Freezes Over

gibby

The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers are undefeated, 2-0, to lead the NFC North. The Bengals score 45 points but lose to the Cleveland Browns. Oh but wait. There's more! The Houston Texans are 2-0 and are tied atop the AFC South with the Super Bowl champ Colts. That is amazing enough but they are only a few points behind them in scoring for the season. That is jaw dropping.

Remember that team that grinds out the clock with run after run? Well, the Pittsbu [...]
