Patriots 2012 Off-Season Priorities: Wide Receivers

By ⋅ March 15, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

In an off-season that perhaps is even more exciting than last year’s lockout-shortened free agency period, the Patriots have plenty of needs.  None are bigger, however, than wide receiver and defensive end. Let’s first look at receiver. Last season, we saw a soon-to-be 33-year-old Deion Branch get even older right before our eyes, totaling only [...]

Fantasy Fast Forward: NFL Week 8

By ⋅ October 30, 2010 ⋅ One comment

I’m not a man who’s afraid of commitment. Heck, I’m engaged (please, hold your applause)… if that’s not proof enough that I’m not a commitment-phobe, then I don’t know what is. But I’m starting to question my decision-making abilities when it comes to who, or what, I commit to. (Disclaimer to keep me out of [...]

Week 7 Pickups

By ⋅ October 21, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Roy Williams has been a tough fantasy player to figure out. He was fairly productive in Detroit, then he gets traded to Dallas and you figure his fantasy value can only go up in a better offense, right? Wrong. Then the next season roles around and you figure he has had more time to work [...]

Week 4 Pickups

By ⋅ September 30, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

With no major injuries this week, the choices on the waiver wire are slim, particularly amongst running backs. A hot pickup in past weeks, Peyton Hillis, had a huge day for Cleveland this past Sunday with Jerome Harrison sidelined.  Hillis is currently available in about 25 percent of league, and is an obvious person to [...]

Week 3 Pickups

By ⋅ September 21, 2010 ⋅ One comment

The early weeks of the football season is an important time for fantasy team owners. Often players that are barely on the mind of fantasy owners during the draft end up carrying a team into the playoffs. Last year, Sidney Rice was one of the more productive receivers in the game, but largely went undrafted [...]

Fantasy Fast Forward: NFL Week 1

By ⋅ September 8, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

We all love summertime. The mercury in the thermometer peaks, and so does the number of scantily clad women at the beach. But personally, I’m very happy to see the summer come to a close. Not because I want to see the lovely beach bunnies layer up for colder weather ahead, but because with the [...]

AFC West Fantasy Preview

By ⋅ August 28, 2010 ⋅ One comment

The West is best? Not in the NFL they aren’t. Today’s divisional fantasy preview takes us to the AFC West, where the Chargers reign supreme. And then there’s everyone else. You’re not going to find much elite talent in this division, but I’m here to point you in the direction of some solid middle round [...]

TGIF: No Marshall? No Problem!

By ⋅ January 1, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It has been speculation all week, but now the bad news is a reality. Broncos WR Brandon Marshall will miss the team’s season finale this Sunday against Kansas City after tweaking his hamstring in practice earlier in the week. Head coach Josh McDaniels made the decision today to bench Marshall before causing further harm to [...]

Week 17 Sleepers

By ⋅ December 30, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Every Wednesday, I will talk about potential fantasy football sleepers for each matchup taking place. I will go game-by-game and pick out one or two players who can most likely be found in your league’s free agent pool and explain why they can be of use to you that week. Leagues with a Week 17 [...]

Patriots Gets Ready For Perfect Broncos

By ⋅ October 11, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

There were the 1-0 Jets, then the 2-0 Falcons, and the 3-0 Ravens, and now the Patriots will get ready for the surprise 4-0 Denver Broncos. New England is riding a two-game win streak, following impressive wins over Atlanta and Baltimore. Now, they will have to survive a Broncos team with a top ranked defense [...]

Fantasy Football Focus: The Starting 11 – Diving Deep into Depth Chart Battles

By ⋅ September 6, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

By now, many of your fantasy football drafts probably have come and gone. Sure, your Labor Day weekend may feature a last minute draft or two, but at this point, your teams are most likely drafted and you’re just sitting back, waiting for Thursday’s kickoff to the season. But if you are sitting back, you [...]

Broncos v. Chiefs, Who Would Win?

By ⋅ July 19, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The Denver Broncos and Kansas Chiefs recently acquired former Patriots personnel to help revive both AFC West teams. The Broncos picked up Josh McDaniels as head coach, and players Jabar Gaffney and LaMont Jordan. The Chiefs picked up Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel, as well as Scott Pioli as the new general manager. Many are [...]

Broncos Sign Gaffney, Paxton

By ⋅ February 27, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels, the former Offensive Coordinator in New England, is beginning to pluck players from the Patriots as he builds his Denver offense. On Friday, he signed WR Jabar Gaffney and long snapper Lonie Paxton to multi-year contracts. Gaffney signed a four-year, $10 million deal, with $3 million in guaranteed money. He [...]

Patriots Season Grades: Wide Reciever/Tight Ends

By ⋅ January 29, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

In my third installment of 2008 season grades I’ll be taking a look at the wide receivers and tight ends. Randy Moss: B+ Thoughts: After a record breaking 2007 season it was going to be tough for Moss to follow up his performance with anything but a let down statistically. Throw in a brand new [...]

Steelers 33, Patriots 10 – The Verdict

By ⋅ December 5, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Well, that was a kick in the teeth. The final score doesn’t nearly indicate how close the game was in the first half – if not for the Stephen Gostkowski missed chip-shot field goal the Pats would’ve been ahead at the half. The third quarter was as ugly an offensive performance as you will see [...]
