Now that both the 2008 NFL regular season and, more importantly for the sake of this blog, the 2008 fantasy football regular season are in the books, it is time to pass out some hardware.
Every season, players come out of nowhere to make a name of themselves in both league circles and fantasy circles. Fantasy [...]

Tim Hightower shows up on Marc’s list this week, but I am not buying his chances at winning Fantasy Rookie of the Year. Is anybody else?
He has mostly underperformed since stealing the job from Edgerrin James. Maybe next year will be better for the kid.
This is the most important time of the season for NFL [...]

Now past the bye weeks for all NFL teams, fantasy owners will no longer seek the riches of the waiver wire for bye week starters. Instead, the hunt is on for the next diamond in the rough.
Even now, with the fantasy regular season in its final weeks, waiver wire adds can make or break fantasy [...]

The last weekend of bye weeks is upon fantasy owners and the fantasy playoffs are in sight. Unfortunately, injuries continue to decimate rosters indiscriminately, affecting both contenders, pretenders and has-beens.
So how is your team looking for the playoff push?
That push starts next week with all of the byes behind fantasy owners. The fantasy playoffs are [...]

The Brady Quinn era officially begins tonight.
Quinn will start for the Browns against Denver on the NFL Network in the first Thursday night game since week 1 of the 2008 season. Those without NFL Network should be able to follow along on NFL.com.
Make sure to set your fantasy lineup(s) before the start of tonight’s game [...]

Figures. As soon as I talk him up and start him in my keeper league, Donnie Avery throws up a stinker. Not that it was entirely his fault — the Cardinals put the clamps on the Rams offense — but I cannot see him staying in the top-5 long term.
But I do have another prediction [...]

Three big names could be absent from fantasy lineups this weekend.
Steven Jackson, Jason Witten and Joseph Addai all are battling injuries of different types and degrees heading into week 9.
Jackson injured his quad muscle two weeks ago against Dallas and missed last weekend’s matchup with New England. He is in jeopardy of missing again this [...]

Just like next week’s Presidential election and many local elections, the blogger league is too close to call at the NFL’s midway point.
And despite posting a solid 91.96 points in week 8 without the services of Reggie Bush, The Hazean (4-4) drew the short end of the stick in the matchup against Football Jabber.
Five players [...]

I am going to give it away at the beginning … but I told you so! Last week, I predicted we would see Donnie Avery in Marc’s weekly rookie rankings at some point this season. Well, after hanging 163 yards and a touchdown against the Patriots in week 8, Avery makes his much-anticipated debut.
What I [...]

Sure hoped you heeded the advice of last week’s Grab Bag. Mewelde Moore and Donnie Avery again had solid performances. While the return of Willie Parker will limit Moore, he now has established himself as a threat to Parker’s PT going forward.
Avery, meanwhile, went off against the Patriots. I still think he cracks the top-5 [...]
