Fantasy Football: Maximizing Value In Your Dynasty League Rookie Draft
Rookie picks are assets for your dynasty team. Whether you trade them or use them for picks, it’s all about maximizing value. Reaching for a player in the rookie draft is one of the quickest ways to ensure their value isn’t realized. There are two basic debates when it comes to rookie drafting. In this article, we try to sort through those debates to ensure we get the...
Buffalo Bills TE Scott Chandler Eyes Early Comeback From ACL Injury
Buffalo Bills starting tight end Scott Chandler had his 2012 season cut short by an ACL tear.
Despite his early jokes about returning better than Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, Chandler has a chance to return to the field faster than expected, and has performed at a higher than expected level as well.
Chandler, who had his surgery a mere four and a half months ago...
New York Giants’ Terrell Thomas Taking A Cautious Approach to His Comeback
When the New York Giants took the field for their first series of Organized Team Activities (OTAs), cornerback Terrell Thomas was noticeably absent. But it wasn’t because he’s had a set-back or is behind schedule — it’s because after two consecutive ACL tears, he and the team physicians are taking a cautious approach to his return.
“There’s no hurry. There’s no rush...
Kansas City Chiefs Select RB Knile Davis In The 2013 NFL Draft
3.34 Kansas City Chiefs Knile Davis, RB, Arkansas (5-11, 227)
With the 34th pick in the third round of the NFL Draft, the Chiefs selected RB Knile Davis from Arkansas. There is no denying the skill set that Knile Davis has. He’s got arguably some of the best athleticism of anyone in the draft but there is a reason he slid to the end of the third round. For one, his durability is...
Washington Redskins Select Jordan Reed, TE, Florida
3.23 Washington Redskins Jordan Reed TE, Florida
With the 23rd pick of the 3rd round the Washington Redskins took Jordan Reed, tight end out of Florida. Reed gives the Redskins the athletic tight end that will create mismatches in the passing game. Don’t see him making much of an impact early on because he needs to improve his blocking before he will consistently see the field...
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Select Mike Glennon, QB, NC State
3.11 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Mike Glennon QB, NC State
With the 11th pick of the third round the Buccaneers took Mike Glennon, quarterback out of NC State. Glennon is a strong armed QB whose strength will be getting the ball down field. This pick created buzz as soon as it was announced and has only gained steam with Bucs second year coach Greg Schiano stating that Glennon will get...
Philadelphia Eagles Select Bennie Logan, DL, LSU
3.05 Philadelphia Eagles Bennie Logan, DL, LSU
With the 5th pick of the 3rd round the Eagles took Bennie Logan, defensive lineman out of LSU. Standing at 6-2 and weighing in at 302lbs Logan gives the Eagles a versatile defensive lineman who will be able to line up in multiple alignments in their new 3 man front. I don’t think he starts in year one but he will provide the Eagles...
Sean Lee: Can the Dallas Cowboys Linebacker Be the Next Brian Urlacher?
As of this morning, Brian Urlacher is no longer an active NFL player. He took to Twitter to announce his retirement, and with it, the game lost one of the all-time great MLB’s. Urlacher’s tenacity was nothing if not palpable. The look on his face that was captured pre-snap by ESPN’s zip line cameras was often downright scary, regardless of how much distance was between you...
Fantasy Football 2013: Can Chris Ivory Be a Sleeper at Running Back?
.
The New York Jets have become a punch line of sorts because of their comedy of errors at quarterback. Their passing attack offers little hope to make a impact for fantasy football owners. However, they could have a sleeper at running back.
.
During the 2013 NFL Draft the Jets acquired Chris Ivory from the New Orleans Saints. He has shown signs in the past, but he never got an opportunity...
Oakland Raiders’ Fans Had Role in Landing Charles Woodson
No matter where the team is in the standings or going in the future, Raidernation stands up. The Oakland Raiders are coming off a tough 4-12 year and a significant playoff drought since 2002. However, that has not deterred the silver and black fans from coming out to show Charles Woodson how much they would love to have him back in Oakland.
“I’ll tell you man, it was overwhelming...
Robert Griffin III at OTA’s
AP’s not the only freak Juan…
Watching RG3 at OTAs moving around and throwing the ball well is great news as we head into the Summer. Griffin has obvious top 3 fantasy potential if he is ready to roll by the start of the season. Watch the video below.

Cam Newton and Mom Pedicure Together
Gotta get your sh*t right Juan…
Now here’s a son who must really love his Mom. Check out Carolina Panthers star Quarterback Cam Newton and his mother pampering themselves with mani/pedis while Cam plays on his phone. This is probably not a pic Cam wanted to get out there, but if you want to bond with your mother, next time bring the nail salon to you.

Tennessee Titans Select OLB Zaviar Gooden In The 2013 NFL Draft
3.35 Tennessee Titans Zaviar Gooden, OLB, Missouri (6-1 ½, 234)
With the 35th pick in the third round of the NFL Draft, the Titans selected OLB Zaviar Gooden from Missouri. Gooden has some ridiculous speed (4.57 forty) to go along with his 6-1 ½, 234 lb frame and it’s likely why the Titans went for him possibly a little earlier than he should have. The guy is a nice athlete but...
Steelers Sign A Trio Of Draft Picks Including WR Markus Wheaton
The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed three of their draft picks today. CB Terry Hawthorne, WR Justin Brown and WR Markus Wheaton have all agreed on 4-year deals.
Of the three, Markus Wheaton is the name to watch in fantasy circles. A while back, our very own Jason Davis talked about him and gave some good insight on what to expect. He could be a valuable fantasy commodity in deep...
New York Jets Draft OG Brian Winters In The 2013 NFL Draft
3.10 New York Jets Brian Winters, OG, Kent State (6-4, 320)
With the 10th pick of the third round of the NFL Draft, the Jets selected OG Brian Winters out of Kent State University. The Jets’ offensive line has been in flux the last couple seasons, so their looking to bolster the offensive line comes as no surprise to anyone. Winters has the ability to play guard on either side...
Ramses Barden Reluctantly Re-Signs With The Giants
The New York Giants have re-signed wide receiver Ramses Barden. Barden attempted to hit it big in free agency but he doesn’t really have the track record to command big-time interest. He has raised his major statistics in each of the last four seasons, all with the G-Men, but that isn’t saying much. He finished 2012 with 14 receptions for 220 yards and one quality game in which...
Saints Waive 2011 Seventh Round Pick DE Greg Romeus
The New Orleans Saints have waived 2011 7th round draft pick DE Greg Romeus. Romeus tore his right ACL during his final year at Pittsburgh and then tore his left ACL/MCL during 2012 OTA’s. He’s never made it to an NFL game but could mount a comeback if he has it in him. It’s not easy to bounce back from these types of injuries in back-to-back years but not impossible.
The Saints...
Cleveland Browns Sign WR Tori Gurley To Contract
The Cleveland Browns have signed wide receiver Tori Gurley to a contract. While terms were not disclosed, odds are it is a one-year deal and nothing is guaranteed. Making himself the NFL pinball, according to RotoWorld this marks the seventh organization that he has attempted to play for in his brief career. Going undrafted in 2011 out of South Carolina, Gurley finds himself in competition...

The Cincinnati Bengals have inked their second round running back, Giovani Bernard, to a four-year deal. He is expected to get some playing time and will be in competition with the other backs on the roster to spell BenJarvus Green-Ellis throughout the season. The former UNC stud has solid upside potential.
