Week 4 Fantasy Football Rankings: Put up or shut up

By

We’re three weeks into the fantasy football season and the surprises just keep on coming. Cam Newton and Matthew Stafford are top-10 fantasy quarterbacks. Coe College alum Fred Jackson is the third best fantasy back. And how about Scott Chandler, who had one catch before this year, picking up four scores in the first three weeks. But much like business, it’s not what you did … [Read more...] about Week 4 Fantasy Football Rankings: Put up or shut up

Week 3 Fantasy Football Rankings: The Injury Bug Bites

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.

Again, it's preseason football and therefore scoreboards about as accurate and meaningful as compliments a stripper gives you, but losing 34-10 to the Detroit Lions wasn't very promising for the New England Patriots because well, their starters got beaten kinda badly by Motown's starters. Chad Ochocinco did not have a good game. He dropped a pass, and had zero catches while … [Read more...] about New England Patriots Look Kinda Bad in 34-10 Loss to Detroit Lions

Patriots can be Awesome with W-E-S (Welker) now Returning

By

Each year, the NFL becomes a more pass-happy league. And the team that dominated the last decade, the New England Patriots, are currently among the most pass-oriented, if not the most pass-oriented team in the league. In order to make their high powered air attack work, the Patriots need wide receiver Wes Welker to be back to his usual self. The fact that he actually played and … [Read more...] about Patriots can be Awesome with W-E-S (Welker) now Returning
