Some breaking news last night that will have effect both in the real football world and the fantasy realm. Miami Dolphins (RB) Ronnie Brown was put on injured reserve and is done for the season. Brown was having a decent year (648 yards & 8 touchdowns) and is a main focal point in the Dolphins offense.What this means for the Dolphins is that Ricky Williams will become the ground game and young quarterback Chad Henne will have to develop much faster than the team anticipated. The injury ta... Read Full Story

No longer as fantasy owners do we have to worry about bye weeks as they are now all passed, but that doesn't mean we don't have critical roster decisions that need to be made. Last weekend brought many key injuries that rocked more than a few fantasy owners who are trying to march their way to the playoffs. Key injuries to running backs like Ronnie Brown, Michael Turner and Cedric Benson leave many of fantasy owners needing options for the coming weeks. Even injuries to lineman like Jordan Gr...

Wednesday sure comes a lot quicker than Friday. I thought the earlier picks, because of the Thursday night would make it tougher, but I fared well last week. Once again I prevailed in the Confidence Picks Challenge which means I put off wearing a dress again on my fancast at FanvsFan. I also did well with my spread selection going (10-4-1) for the week. My over/under selection didn't do as well, but I'm still over .500 for the year in those picks also.Come on and join in on the fun of the Con... Read Full Story

Ten weeks in the books for the NFL season and one thing is for sure. The NFL has a huge blob of mediocrity sitting on its hands. I haven't seen such a jumbled mess in the middle to go along with such a large number of extremely bad football teams. The really good teams don't have that air of invincibility to them either. This week's Power Rankings have brought a lot of change due to all of this as I am positive that there will be more changes to come. Here's a look at how we rank the NFL team... Read Full Story

Last week I took on two losses, this week I came out a winner in both leagues. Only the second time that has happened this season. Both leagues were filled with close match-ups due to some poor play and even more so were injuries to key fantasy contributors. Each league has one team leading the pack by one game with many others fighting it out for the last few playoffs slots remaining. Hard to believe we only have a few weeks left before the playoffs begin. Teams should be well stocked for th... Read Full Story

Over the last few weeks in this NFL season I have seen injuries pile up all over the league. As the season progresses and those injuries accumulate that the quality of football seems to go down and we receive more surprising outcomes to each weeks match-ups. So I decided to do some research this morning to see what teams have top or important players on the injured reserve list for each franchise. Before I started I thought I would find large numbers on each roster that could have big effects... Read Full Story

Since the inception of this blog I have done my best in not writing about, being overly critical or supportive of my favorite NFL franchise. Those of you who have read this blog for awhile know I live in the Chicagoland area and that the Chicago Bears are my favorite franchise. Over the last few weeks it has become increasingly more difficult to hide or not share my feelings with the Internet planet. I thank all of you in advance for letting me get this off my chest.Since the Bears last Super... Read Full Story
