Breaking NFL news, rumors, and analysis on how it will affect your fantasy football team
Last night, we entered into the official “relapse” period for all NFL addicts, also known as the NFL draft. While it’s not as good as watching an actual game, drafting a fantasy football team, or surfing the waiver wire, it’s enough of a fix to get me excited. And even better than the TV...

I’m picking up the Packers’ ball boy on the waiver wire this week, and I fully expect him to get at least 10 touchdowns this season. But the Saints defense...

You may be rooting for the lockout to end by tomorrow because July 20 is the official date when players would have started reporting for training camp, but there’s another good reason to hope that the NFL and NFLPA finally come to an agreement on Wednesday. Free wings. Buffalo Wild Wings has promised that...

Once again, it held true this week as Hillis ran over the Panthers for three touchdowns in brutal fashion. Nothing stops that guy. Nothing. The proof of how great a nickname this is for Hillis is in the Wikipedia: A juggernaut...

The real studs scored twice or more on Sunday, and they should easily do the same a time or two before the fantasy football playoffs are over. Start ‘em if you got ‘em. Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Steelers: 275 passing yards and 3 TDs,...

Read more →This week’s high scores include members of teams you wouldn’t expect to produce fantasy powerhouses. The Browns? The Lions? The Raiders? Parity is the name of the game this season, as even these recently terrible franchises have produced fantasy gold. Hillis looks like a top back the rest of the way. The Raiders continue to...

David Garrard, QB, Jaguars: 260 yards, 4 TDs, 1 fumble, 2 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD vs. Cowboys Unfortunately, you can’t trust Garrard. Ever. He’ll have a...
