Here’s a look at some fantasy basketball players that blew up the box score last night. J.J. Hickson, Cleveland Cavaliers 33 MIN, 15 PTS, 7-9 FG, 1-3 FT, 7 REB, 1 STL, 1 BLK, 2 TO Hickson bounced back from a dud to post another solid game for the Cavs. Mario Chalmers, Miami Heat 38 MIN, 30 points, 9-15 FG, 7-9 FT, 5 3PM, 1 REB, 3 AST, 3 STL, 2 TO Chalmers more than tripled his scoring average. He’s worth owning, but he mainly provides steals and assists. Jarrett Jack, Toronto Raptors 31... Read Full Story

Here’s a look at some fantasy basketball players that blew up the box score last night. Jared Dudley, Phoenix Suns 28 MIN, 17 PTS, 5-G FG, 2-2 FT, 5 3pM, 5 REB, 2 AST, 2 STL, 1 TO Dudley has been pulling down a fair amount of rebounds  for a wing player, and draining three-pointers. He’s inconsistent, but has been pretty solid over his last nine games. Darren Collison, New Orleans Hornets 32 MIN, 15 PTS, 4-15 FG, 6-6 FT, 1 3PM, 5 REB, 5 AST, 1 STL, 1 TO He shot terribly, but finished wi... Read Full Story

Brady Quinn Medicine Woman - I think Jane Seymour could have played a better game. Not Cutlering It - Five INTS. Even for a Bears QB, that’s just not cutting it. Rottenberger - Big Ben let his fantasy owners down with a 174 yard, zero TD effort. Sound Off Like You’ve Got a Pierre - Pierre Thomas had just 42 total yards against the Rams. Really? Phony Maroney - My RB has a first name,  F-U-M-B-L-E. He’s the real reason the Pats lost. Very Much Vincible – Vincent Jackso... Read Full Story

RC of www.junkyardjake.com was responsible for this week’s Fourth & 1 Roundtable debate topic. Click here to see the full article. This Week’s Topic: Thinking back to the players that you targeted in drafts at the beginning of the season, which 1 or 2 players have been the biggest disappointments?   What kind of additional information do you think you could use to avoid selecting this type of underachieving player in 2010 ? My Response: A couple of players that I targeted in fantasy draf... Read Full Story

Cedric Benson (hip) didn’t practice this week. With Oakland on tap, I would be shocked if the Bengals risked Ced’s health this week. Bernard Berrian (hamstring) and Brett Favre were both limited in practice today. They should both be fine against Seattle, but only Favre is worth a starting fantasy spot this week. Steve Breaston (knee) was limited in practice again, but remains a strong WR3 this week against St. Louis. I’m sure by now you’ve heard that Ronnie Brown is ... Read Full Story

Here’s a look at some fantasy basketball players that blew up the box score last night. James Harden, Oklahoma City Thunder 31 minutes, 24 points, 7-14 FG, 4-4 FT, 6 three-pointers, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 turnover You knew he had the ability. He just needed an opportunity. He took full advantage of his team-high 31 minutes. Elton Brand, Philadelphia 76ers 42 minutes, 19 points, 8-17 FG, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, 6 blocks, 1 turnover Elton was given the start and he more tha... Read Full Story

Before we get started, click here for my Week 11 NFL Picks. Time for another edition of Fantasy Football Out on a Limb. I scour the rosters to select a player who I feel will outperform a higher profile player in that given week. I base my decisions on matchups, how the players are trending, and the ever-important hunch. To mix things up I’ll occasionally do some two on one matchups or even pit RB or WR duos against each other. Sometimes I’ll spot a player some points. Scoring 6 points f... Read Full Story

Cedric Benson (hip) missed practice today. The Bengals are putting on a front that he’ll play, but a wiser move would be to let him have a week to heal. They are facing the Raiders after all. Why jeopardize a Super Bowl caliber season against a bottom dweller? Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) maintained his practice of sitting out practice despite coming off last week” bye. He should be good to go against  Atlanta. Steve Breaston (knee) was limited in practice today, but makes is an excellent WR3 play a... Read Full Story
