Week 3 Fantasy Football Rankings: The Injury Bug Bites

By

It shouldn’t surprise any of us. In a game as violent as football, injuries are bound to happen. Top-5 pick Jamaal Charles is out for season. Miles Austin is out until October 16th. Let’s not even get started on Peyton Manning.  Much like their professional counterparts, fantasy owners need to find ways to fill the void left by their injured players. Included in this week’s … [Read more...] about Week 3 Fantasy Football Rankings: The Injury Bug Bites

Week 2 Fantasy Football Rankings: Building on a strong week

By

If we learned one thing about the NFL in week one: the lockout certainly did not slow down the offensive numbers.  A ridiculous 14 quarterbacks had more than 300 yards, four of which went over 400. 13 receivers topped 100 yards, including seven double-digit touchdown performances. Needless to say, fantasy teams weren’t suffering. Now it’s time to build on that success and … [Read more...] about Week 2 Fantasy Football Rankings: Building on a strong week

Week 1 Fantasy Football Rankings: Football is Back!

By

We endured an offseason consisting of men in suits walking in and out of buildings. We endured a three-month stretch when the work “lockout” might as well have been preceded by a four-letter word. But courtrooms, politics, and league lawyers are now a thing of the past. Because ladies and gentleman, we’re finally here! The start of the NFL season is here! … [Read more...] about Week 1 Fantasy Football Rankings: Football is Back!

Analyzing the Minnesota Vikings Depth Chart

By

The addition of Donovan McNabb and Michael Jenkins on the offensive side of the ball have been the two most notable positive amendments during the offseason. The most newsworthy departure is undoubtedly the exit by offensive lineman and consistent Pro Bowler Bryant McKinnie. After taking a look at the depth chart on the team’s official site, it is puzzling to note that Joe … [Read more...] about Analyzing the Minnesota Vikings Depth Chart

The Blunt Psychological Diagnosis of Brett Favre

By

As I was sitting down to delve into my list of New Year’s resolutions, it dawned on me that I had to switch over to my laptop because I was quickly running out of paper. Then, I started to ponder the Minnesota Vikings prospects for the future and realized that my issues pale in comparison to Brett Favre. Those of us who are too lazy and impatient to sit in doctors’ offices … [Read more...] about The Blunt Psychological Diagnosis of Brett Favre

Why Isn’t the Vikings Game at TCF Bank Stadium instead of Ford Field?

By

Some casual fans of the Minnesota Vikings are cheering because the game against the Vikings is now delayed for more than thirty hours. This lack of insight is astounding considering that the team will have to travel to the motor city and play at play at Ford Field, the home of the Detroit Lions, and play in front of fans who are watching them for free and are not passionate to … [Read more...] about Why Isn’t the Vikings Game at TCF Bank Stadium instead of Ford Field?

Minnesota Vikings Disastrous Season due to Injuries…Or is it?

By

Percy Harvin is experiencing migraine headaches; Offensive Guard Steve Hutchinson has a broken right thumb; Defensive End Ray Edwards is gimpy on a bum ankle. The aforementioned ailments are enough to send any Vikings fan running for Maalox, but Adrian Peterson also had a limited ability to make cuts due to his sprained ankle. This is a recipe for disaster for a Minnesota … [Read more...] about Minnesota Vikings Disastrous Season due to Injuries…Or is it?

Minnesota Vikings Can’t Pester Devin Hester

By

Brett Favre threw three interceptions Sunday afternoon against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Two of the three picks can be put on his receivers since they lost their footing. Favre was required to force the football even more than normal because none of the top three starting receivers played the complete game for the Vikings. They are the antithesis of Favre-who would … [Read more...] about Minnesota Vikings Can’t Pester Devin Hester
