By

We’re nine weeks into the fantasy football season and things are starting to get interesting. With the bye weeks soon evaporating and the fantasy playoffs looming, it’s time to start planning ahead. Check the schedules for your fantasy studs for weeks 14-17. If you have some bad matchups, it could be time to make a trade or find someone on waivers who has better matchups.

Spreading the Blame for the Indianapolis Colts’ 0-8 Start

By

The Indianapolis Colts are winless for half a season. Sunday's 27-10 loss at Tennessee dropped the Colts to 0-8, a record they've not seen since 1997, and the final score has left Indy outscored 89-17 over their last four halves of play. Everyone figured the Colts would struggle without quarterback Peyton Manning, but who thought it would be THIS bad? One thing is for … [Read more...] about Spreading the Blame for the Indianapolis Colts’ 0-8 Start

Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings: QB/RB

By

By just glancing at the list of bye teams below, you can already begin to feel the pain of a number of fantasy owners. Elite quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends are all sitting this week out, and a once lush waiver wire is now as lean as Kyle Orton’s chances of starting again in Denver. But this week is not as bleak as it appears on first glance. Here are … [Read more...] about Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings: QB/RB

Indianapolis Colts Really Are That Bad in Loss to New Orleans

By

It was the question widely asked before the season and during it thus far: "Could the Colts be THAT bad without Peyton Manning?" They sure were Sunday night. Indianapolis never even competed against the New Olreans Saints, suffering a 62-7 wallop at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The team that handed the Colts (0-7) perhaps their most forgettable postseason defeat also … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Really Are That Bad in Loss to New Orleans

Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings: QB/RB

By

It’s the second week of bye weeks, but this one likely hurts fantasy owners more than last week. The likes of Chris Johnson, Ryan Mathews and Philip Rivers will all be on your fantasy bench this week, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of quality options. There are a few runners who will impress this week and are still available on waiver wires, and a couple passers who … [Read more...] about Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings: QB/RB

Indianapolis Colts Raise Many Questions in Blowing Lead against Kansas City

By

So much for the common perception that the Indianapolis Colts' defense is built to play with a lead. The Colts' stop unit surrendered 21 unanswered points after the team's offense established a 17-point lead, and Indy suffered a crushing 28-24 home loss Sunday to the Kansas City Chiefs. Now 0-5 for the first time since 1997 after blowing what might have been their best … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Raise Many Questions in Blowing Lead against Kansas City

Indianapolis Colts Eye First Win against Kansas City Chiefs

By

This might be as good a chance to get that first win of 2011 as the Indianapolis Colts might get in this second quarter of the NFL season. The Colts (0-4) welcome the similarly struggling Kansas City Chiefs (1-3) to Lucas Oil Stadium at 1 p.m. today in search of a victory that has eluded them thus far this season. There are several reasons why Indy can come out on top in … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Eye First Win against Kansas City Chiefs

Indianapolis Colts Get Banged Up, Fall to 0-4

By

This one hurt. In more ways than one. Not only did the Indianapolis Colts fall to 0-4 with their 24-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium, the team also incurred injuries to several difference-making players -- one such injury among the ugliest the sport has seen. The Colts were competitive, but they still have a long way to go in terms of closing … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Get Banged Up, Fall to 0-4

Curtis Painter Gets His Shot with Indianapolis Colts against Tampa Bay Buccaneers

By

Last Thursday I called for and expected Curtis Painter to be the Indianapolis Colts' starting quarterback for tonight's prime-time affair with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1) at Raymond James Stadium. He indeed will get such an opportunity. With previous starter Kerry Collins still experiencing concussion-like symptoms, Colts coach Jim Caldwell said Friday that Painter, a … [Read more...] about Curtis Painter Gets His Shot with Indianapolis Colts against Tampa Bay Buccaneers
