Cardinals' backs get 'opportunity of a lifetime'
TEMPE, Ariz. William Powell was out of work for three and a half months last season after the Cardinals cut him on Sept. 2. In that span, the dream of some day starring in the NFL never crossed his mind.
With most little kids where Im coming from, the dream is just to be in the NFL, said Powell, who is from Duncanville, Texas. Ive always been a confident player, and I know I have...

Even if you own the waiver-wire, there is little to do for having a weak draft. I'm sick of struggling in leagues and praying for a sudden epiphany-ridden performance by a third string receiver playing against the Bills D. Who, by the way, were absolutely embarrassed by Alex Smith. Buffalo's defense is like my roommate...
Cardinals place Ryan Williams on IR
The Arizona Cardinals have placed running back Ryan Williams on injured reserve after suffering a season ending shoulder injury last week against the Rams.The Cardinals will now have to go with Larod Stephens-Howling, Williams Powell or Alfonso Smith. They could also decide to sign a veteran.
Week 6 Waiver Wire and Flier's
QBAlex Smith – Still available is almost 50% of leagues, Alex Smith is coming off a 303 yard 3 TD performance against the Buffalo Bills. This week he faces the New York Giants and they allow the 10th most yards and the 14th most fantasy points to QB’s. Eli and the Giants figure to put up at least 24 points, so Alex is going to need to score for the 49er’s to have a chance...
Alfonso Smith could be in for a huge week in Arizona this week
Last week, Alfonso Smith was hoping to get a phone call and get back into the NFL. Well, the patience paid off for the former Kentucky running back.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
There were only a handful of things the Niners needed to improve upon from last season, and receivers was one of them. Smith and the Niners deserve a lot of credit for making it as far as they did with only two solid receivers, but one has to wonder how much further they could have gone with one or two more. Well, next season we'll know. The Niners...
Former Cats in the NFL: Week 12
Steve Johnson (WR/ Buffalo): Johnson had a good game that went downhill, just as quick as his “plane crash” touchdown celebration. He had eight receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown, but his mocking of Plaxico Burress self-shooting incident cost his team yards on the ensuing kickoff. Johnson also had three dropped passes on the final drive for the Bills, and they...

Former Cats in the NFL: Week 7
Randall Cobb (WR/Green Bay): Cobb had somewhat of a rough game this weekend. He hadone reception for seven yards, but also had a costly dropped pass in one of the Packers' scoring drives. He also had a dropped punt in the first half, which gave the Vikings great field position before they scored a touchdown. In the end, however, the Packers won 33-27.Tim Masthay (P/Green Bay...
Lucky Seven: 5 Things You Should Know about Week 7 in Fantasy Football
Demarco Murray won’t rush for 250 yards again this season.
But that’s ok. Because he is still worth having on your fantasy roster. Demarco Murray showed the toughness and explosiveness to be a big time fantasy back, even if it was against the lowly Rams. You can still expect Murray to be a significant factor in the Cowboys running game when Felix Jones returns.
Alfonso...

DeMarco Murray in Legs of Fury
We had a pretty crazy fake football day here in fake football land. Tons of injuries, divine intervention, rookie breakouts, and a lot of crappy QB play. Here is a look at some of the crappy, slap happy, and extra sappy.

Cardinals RB Wells sprains knee, exits vs. Steelers
Arizona Cardinals running back Beanie Wells left Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a sprained right knee.

Alfonso Smith and La'Rod Stephens-Howling are now expected to receive the majority of the carries in place of Wells, who retreated...
The Arizona Cardinals need to run the ball more
The Cardinals think that they are a passing team, but the results have not been too good so far this year. They should run the ball more, which would help them control the clock better and keep their own D (it’s not so good) on the sideline. 23-year old Beanie Wells is more than capable of being a workhorse, if he can just stay healthy. Wells has played in 4 games for the...
