2008 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings 21-30

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 07:07:26 -0500

The 2007 season was the year of the Wide Receiver (WR). With six players catching at least 100 passes, 23 players with a 1,000 or more yards, and 11 with at least 10 touchdowns, WR's in the offseason moved up the draft boards for many Fantasy owners. With all those numbers in mind, let's start off at the bottom and work our way to the number one WR. Here are the WR's ranked from 30-21.

Fantasy Football Notes - Washington Redskins

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 02:57:36 -0500

Dan Snyder's baby failed again. Well, depending on what your expectations were. The Washington Redskins finished 2007 with a 9-7 mark, and then quickly forgot to show up in the playoffs, exiting before anyone could notice they were there. Bye bye Joe Gibbs, welcome Jim Zorn. Who? Zorn comes from the Seattle Seahawks, where he resided as quarterbacks' coach for the past several years, and evidently Snyder was impressed enough with the 35 points Seattle dropped on his team to offer Zorn a job. What was there to like in 2007 fantasy wise from this squad? Not a ton, honestly. Clinton Portis was a great value for where he was taken in many drafts, providing a strong season of 1262 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns. Perhaps more impressive was the...

Washington's Jim Zorn - Is He The One?

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 21:29:46 -0500

OK, OK... I have yet to open my burgundy-and-gold lined mouth about new Redskin head coach Jim Zorn. Nelly and Brother Phil went through a spell where they would call my cellphone and say, "Jim Zorn!" They tormented me for weeks. For the longest time, I told myself I was finished with Washington. Washed my hands of the Hogs. I was a free agent fan in search of a new team, because the "Deadskins" had disappointed me for the last time. That was, until I did I little research…and soul searching... Hail to the Zornskins… OK, Jim Zorn wasn't anywhere on my radar when Richie Rich was on the market for a Joe Gibbs replacement. I was sure it would be Gregg Williams – fan favorite, player favorite, defensive mastermind. Nope. Gregg, enjoy your pinkslip. Jim freaking Zorn? I'm still amazed that Vinny Cerrato and Dan Snyder even considered this guy. An ex-QB who had the pleasure to toss the pigskin to Steve Largent in Seattle. Whoop-de-doo. Zorn has bounced around from team to team, from college pro – with as little fanfare as getting an average burger and fries from Jocks and Jill's for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. The 'Skins have had nothing BUT fanfare the last few seasons, after Norv Turner left. Turner wasn't exactly the excitement capitol of the NFL. I mean, Marty Schottenheimer, Steve Spurrier, Gibbs...Deion Sanders...Al Saunders and Gregg Williams...us 'Skins fans have gotten used to the hype outweighing the performance. The emotional long-time Hoggette in me is saying, "Death to the Redskins, enjoy mediocrity." The rational side to me, however, is telling me to give the guy a chance. You still have Clinton Portis, Jason Campbell, and Santana Moss. Don't forget Chris Cooley. I'm having an internal Bay of Pigs. Do I become a hypocrite and back down on my anti-Zorn stance? Do I pull for, say, the Carolina Panthers and cry as the 'Skins make it to the playoffs? We Have a History... I've pulled for the 'Skins since 1978. I've met Mark Rypien and the "Diesel" John Riggins. I actually covered a high school football game at Rypien's old high school – Shadle Park High in Spokane, WA. I've seen four Cowboy/Redskin games at RFK Stadium. I saw the 'Skins play the Falcons in Atlanta when James Brown was the halftime entertainment. I've seen 'Skins games in seven different states. I hate the Eagles, Giants, and Cowboys with a passion. Can I be anything BUT a 'Skins fan? I'm hurt. Honestly hurt. As a fan, I am tired of being dead last in the NFC East. I'm tired to losing to NYG, DAL, and PHI on a regular basis. Maybe I'm just a petulant little child, bemoaning the fact my idol – Joe Gibbs – is no longer the coach of the Redskins (again). I've touched his bust in the NFL Hall of Fame for crying out loud. While I've talked big and bad about ditching DC, I honestly don't think I can. The draft this year wasn't spectacular, but at least it was solid. Campbell could benefit from Zorn's "I'm not gonna piss anyone off, and I'm going to do everything by the book no matter what" approach. I'm sure Jason could benefit from being coached up a bit – God knows he has the talent already. Maybe a little less talk will allow for a lot more action. We can hope, right? One...Last...Chance... I have one last chance in me... Zorn – I'm publicly calling you out. I give you one season. ONE season. One chance to earn the respect of this longtime 'Skins fan. How do you do that, you ask? Beat the absolute crap out of Dallas twice, win the NFC East, and bring home a Super Bowl ring. If you do that, you're golden. Burgundy-and-gold for life. No pressure. I'm not usually this deep, just deep in it.

Agonizing Defeats in Jaguars History (#16 - #13)

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 18:11:36 -0500

Today continues our five-part series where we identify the 20 most-agonizing defeats in Jaguars history. Check back every day this week as we revisit 4 heartbreaking losses per day. Be sure to leave us comments about what you remember about those games. Don't worry: we promise to cheer you up next week during the series "Amazing Victories In Jaguars History." #16 | 11/23/03 vs. New York Jets / 13-10: It was dubbed "The Battle of Marshall Quarterbacks" as former Thundering Herd quarterbacks Byron Leftwich and Chad Pennington squared off against each other. The game was a huge snoozer through three quarters as each team managed only three points. The 4th quarter was a different story. After the Jets took a 6-3 lead from K Doug Brien's 35-yard field goal with 12:49 left in the game, Leftwich and the Jaguars orchestrated a drive that lasted almost eight minutes. RB Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala rumbled into the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown score to give the Jaguars a 10-6 lead. After two drives died quickly for both teams, the Jets took over on their own 6-yard line with 3:00 left in the game. Pennington threw on twelve straight pass plays as he moved the Jets down the field, eventually finding WR Santana Moss for a 3-yard touchdown score with :33 left in the game. The Jaguars' ensuing drive stalled inside their own territory, and the Jets won an ugly game 13-10. #15 | 12/1/02 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers / 25-23: The Jaguars were trailing 22-10 with about 12 minutes left in the game, but they clawed their way back to within 5 points when QB Mark Brunell found TE Kyle Brady on a 42-yard touchdown pass. Pittsburgh would tack on another field goal with about 4:30 left in the game to go up 25-17. Brunell marched the Jaguars down the field, eventually hooking up with WR Jimmy Smith for a 7-yard touchdown pass with 1:19 left in the game. But the ensuing two-point conversion failed, and Pittsburgh held on to edge Jacksonville 25-23. #14 | 10/1/06 vs. Washington Redskins / 36-30: The Jaguars were coming off a tough road loss the week before to Indianapolis, and they were off to Washington to face their former field general: QB Mark Brunell. The thrilling game went back and forth as each team traded barbs well into the 4th quarter. With :06 left in the game, K Josh Scobee booted a 41-yard field goal to tie the game 30-30 and send it into overtime. The Jacksonville joy would be short-lived just 1:49 into the overtime period, as Brunell hit WR Santana Moss for a 68-yard touchdown pass. Washington outlasted Jacksonville 36-30, and it gave Brunell some minor satisfaction against the team that gave up on him just three years before. #13 | 12/17/95 vs. Detroit Lions / 44-0: The Jaguars' inaugural season was not a successful one in terms of wins. By the time Week 16 rolled around, the Jaguars were long since eliminated from the playoff hunt. However, nobody saw the thrashing that was coming courtesy of the Detroit Lions. Led by QB Scott Mitchell and RB Barry Sanders, they contributed four of the five Lions' touchdowns in the lopsided 44-0 win over Jacksonville. It was the first time the Jaguars were shut out, and it remains the biggest margin of defeat in Jacksonville history.

Birdsfan536's NFC East Predictions and Breakdown

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 23:58:27 -0500

The NFC East is of course one of the toughest divisions in football. Along with the AFC South it has to be named the most competitive division in the NFL. This is always a topic of discussion so here is how I see it. 1. Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles finished 4th last year at 8-8. The year prior they finished 10-6 and taking the division. So consistency is really the question here. Can the Eagles reclaim the division? Well I see them doing just that. Many will disagree but you cannot count out that they have been the favorite in this division since the McNabb era started. This year they will go for not only the NFC East, but the Superbowl. Strengths: The Eagles have great lines on both sides of the ball. Trent Cole leading the way on defense and the strong tackles Jon Runyan and William Thomas have been playing with Donovan McNabb his whole career. Not to forget Shawn Andrews who has emerged as one of the best linemen in the NFL. Opponents must consider Brian Westbrook as the most lethal weapon in the NFL out of the backfield or from the slot. The Eagles have made a statement in free agency this year and really had the best offseason in the division. Picking up Cornerback Asante Samuel on the first day and Defensive End Chris Clemons on the second day plus many more, they are hinting they want it all this year. With a healthy McNabb, they should be clicking all year long. Weaknesses: The Eagles have always been known as a pass happy team. Andy Reid and company have been trying to balance out their offense for the past few years but obviously this team operates through the air. So it is like they live by the pass, die by the pass. It makes them one dimensional if they don't make an attempt to establish a run game early. Injuries have hurt this team as well. Brian Dawkins, Lito Sheppard, and Donovan McNabb have all suffered injuries over the past few years. If the leaders on this team cannot stay healthy, it will not be a successful year. Question Marks: Offensive consistency. Can this team score in the red zone? Can this team march down the field when they need to and win games? Can the offensive click and make big plays? Turnovers and field position. Can this team create turnovers? Can the defense score off turnovers? Can the special teams get field position for the offense? 2. Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys have a high powered offense. We all know that. Quarterback Tony Romo has many weapons through the air and on the ground no mercy back Marion Barber runs with heart and power. The flashy superstar Terrell Owens is out to get his ring and after the water works last season in a press conference following the playoff loss against the Giants. He wants to make sure secondaries are the ones crying while he's running past them. Rookies like Felix Jones and Mike Jenkins look to make an impact as do new additions Adam Jones (formerly known as Pacman) and Zach Thomas. Strengths: Offensive firepower is what carries this team. Tony Romo passing to Terrell Owens and Jason Witten is torture to defenses. Romo threw for 35 touchdowns last season and looks to match that this upcoming season and show every doubter he is the real deal. Marion Barber and Felix Jones should be a fun duo to watch out of the backfield. With Jason Garrett calling the plays, Dallas can look forward to a very successful offense in 2008. Terence Newman and Demarcus Ware lead the Cowboys defensive unit which can create big plays. Weaknesses: The Cowboys don't have many weaknesses on offense. I would have to say the biggest weakness on offense is the 2nd and 3rd receivers. Patrick Crayton has showed flashes but not enough to be that solid number two receiver playing across from Owens. Terry Glenn was great next to Owens but has been rattled with injury the last few years. The biggest weakness on the Cowboys is their defense. They have a few good players but overall they are average. The secondary is the biggest weakness on the defense. Roy Williams is not a cover safety and big passes can be completed against this secondary. Newman received star status by many last year but I believe he is a bit overrated. He only had 4 interceptions last year. Not mind boggling, he is just an average corner who was given a huge contract. Newman will have to prove himself to me this season if he wants to earn my respect. Question Marks: Rookie impact. Can Felix Jones be the answer to Julius Jones' departure? Can Mike Jenkins hold his own at cornerback when given the opportunity? Will these two first round picks even get on the field? Offensive chemistry, drama free. Will Terrell Owens open his mouth and say the wrong thing this year? Can celebrity Quarterback Tony Romo keep his love life out of the media? Will disgruntled safety Roy Williams restart talks of a trade? 3. New York Giants: The Giants shocked the football world. No, scratch that. They shocked the entire universe! Beating the odds and the Patriots, they went on to win the Superbowl. The Giants showed everyone that defense wins championships. The Giants are anchored by their defensive line and high motor defensive ends. Eli Manning took a big step on the maturity level and drove the team down the field to score the winning touchdown. Plaxico Burress also has a lot to do with the Giants offensive success, and don't forget about the two headed monster of Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw. Strengths: The defensive ends of the NY Giants are Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck. Two players who never stop hustling on the football field. These two knocked around Tom Brady all game and really ruined the Patriots offensive gameplan. The Giants defense can really change games and help them win. The offense can be lethal at times with Plaxico Burress, the 6'5 receiver, at full health. Burress played all last year with a nagging ankle injury, never practicing. Jacobs, the big back, can run through defensive lines and score easily in the red zone. Weaknesses: The Giants lost three key defensive starters. Michael Strahan's recent retirement was the biggest loss. Strahan is a Hall of Famer and a legend to the Giants. Safety Gibril Wilson and Linebacker Kawika Mitchell were both signed as free agents by other teams. These players will be missed on the field next season as they all contributed heavily to the Superbowl run and win put together by the team. Eli Manning also still has lots of work to do. He has matured a lot over his career but still struggles at points in the regular season. He threw a league leading 20 interceptions. He has to be more consistent for this team to move up in the division. Question Marks: Overcoming losses on defense. Can the team move on without the leadership of Michael Strahan? Can the linebacking corps remain solid without Kawika Mitchell? How will the secondary react to the loss of Gibril Wilson, a young rising star? Quarterback consistency. Will Eli Manning return with a swagger? Can Manning keep his interception total down? Will Manning be able to live up to the star status he earned from "The Drive"? 4. Washington Redskins: The hard-nosed defense overcame the loss of Sean Taylor. The tragedy which took place midseason, Taylor was attacked in his home and died in the hospital, did not stop the Redskins from marching into the playoffs on the shoulders of backup Quarterback Todd Collins. Much like the Eagles 2006 run to the playoffs powered by Jeff Garcia, Jason Campbell was injured and veteran Todd Collins came in and took the team into the postseason. It should have been very motivating to be in the playoffs but the team fell short to Seattle in the first round. Joe Gibbs retired after the season was over and Jim Zorn was hired to coach the team. Strengths: The Redskins are a hustle team. The defense is made up of players who just play with pride. They want to win more than anything and they show it on the field. The offense has many weapons from Clinton Portis to Santana Moss to Chris Cooley. Many players who can hurt a defense in many different ways. Rookies Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas will try to win starting jobs at wide receiver in 2008. The Redskins offense is built around speed. Guys like Antwaan Randle El, Ladell Betts, Santana Moss, and Clinton Portis fly around the field to make plays. The Redskins have a solid offense and defense looking to improve next year in consistency. Weaknesses: The Redskins took a shot in the dark when they hired new head coach Jim Zorn. He was the quarterback coach of the Seattle Seahawks in 2007 and he has no experience as a head coach. This can make a huge difference on a team, especially a young one. The Redskins have not seen consistent play from their young quarterback, Jason Campbell. He has to improve his consistency and stay healthy to make an impact in the 2008 season. The defensive side of the ball has to all come together and play like they did at the end of 2007. The Redskins have to unite as a defense to win because they really do not have any standout leaders on that side of the ball. If they cannot play as one, the outcome could be brutal. Question Marks: Defensive leadership. Will the young defense be able to overcome the passing of team leader Sean Taylor? Can they play together as one unit and make plays? Can a young player step up and take charge of this defense? Coaching staff. Will Jim Zorn be able to productively coach this young team? With no experience, will Zorn know how to handle the emotions of this football team? We have seen frauds like Nick Saban and Bobby Petrino, will Zorn be one of them?

Moss sick, are you kidding?

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 08:13:07 -0500

ou know, the feeling I have right now about the Redskins is a little bothersome. On top of Shawn Spring's selfish and unexplained absence and lack of communication , we can add int he fact that WR Santana Moss was excused from practices because he was SICK after week long parties celebrating his birthday????

Fantasy Football Draft Winner| Jason Campbell

Thu, 01 May 2008 18:07:32 -0500

The Wide Receiver group was overshadowed by the Running Back this year in the NFL Draft. So much in fact that the first WR was not picked until the top of the second round when the Rams took Donnie Avery. With the ball catchers falling there was a team lurking in the second round that made out like bandits...

Draft needs fro Cowboys, Redskins, Giants

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 08:47:24 -0500

Dallas Cowboys Positions of need RB, WR, CB Needs Analysis: The offseason departure of Julius Jones left a void in the Cowboys' backfield behind starter Marion Barber III. With veteran WR Terry Glenn nearing the end of the line, the Cowboys could use a third wideout to supplement starters Terrell Owens and Patrick Crayton. CB Jacques Reeves has shown promise as a nickel corner, but the team still could use some depth at the position. Round 1, Pick 22 (22) (From Browns) Round 1, Pick 28 (28) Round 2, Pick 30 (61) Round 3, Pick 29 (92) Round 4, Pick 27 (126) Round 5, Pick 28 (163) Round 6, Pick 1 (167) (From Dolphins) Round 7, Pick 28 (235) Washington Redskins Positions of need WR, DL, LB, S Needs Analysis: Both Redskins' starting receivers are less than 6-feet tall, so finding a bigger target for young quarterback Jason Campbell should be a main priority. The team also has needs on defense at DE, LB and S. Finding a second pass-rusher to help Andre Carter is vital, and adding an outside linebacker to fill in for the injured Rocky McIntosh also is crucial. McIntosh suffered a devastating knee injury last season and might not be back for the start of the season. Sean Taylor's tragic death left a void the team has yet to fill at safety. Round 1, Pick 21 (21) Round 2, Pick 20 (51) Round 3, Pick 21 (84) Round 3, Pick 33 (96) (Compensatory selection) Round 5, Pick 19 (154) Round 6, Pick 20 (186) Round 7, Pick 21 (228) Round 7, Pick 35 (242) (Compensatory selection) Round 7, Pick 42 (249) (Compensatory selection) New York Giants Positions of need WR, OL, S, LB Needs Analysis: Linebacker is perhaps the greatest area of need for the Giants after they lost both of their starting outside linebackers to free agency, and the defection of S Gibril Wilson to the Raiders created a hole at the safety position, as well. With starting WRs Plaxico Burress and Amani Toomer in their 30s and having been plagued by injuries in recent seasons, the Giants need to start developing a future wideout. The starters on the offensive line are solid and established, but the team could use some depth here, as well. Round 1, Pick 31 (31) Round 2, Pick 32 (63) Round 3, Pick 32 (95) Round 4, Pick 31 (130) Round 5, Pick 30 (165) Round 6, Pick 28 (194) (From Packers) Round 6, Pick 32 (198) Round 6, Pick 33 (199) (Compensatory selection)

Eagles and Redskins Discuss Moss / Sheppard Deal

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:49:27 -0500

A source close to Redskins Executive Vice President Vinnie Cerrato has revealed that the teams are in discussions for a trade involving Redskins' WR Santana Moss and Eagles' CB Lito Sheppard. It is believed Washington would include a 5th or 6th round draft pick in the package. Sheppard is reportedly unhappy with the 5 year, $25 million contract extension he signed in 2004 and there have been rumors of the Eagles shopping Sheppard since the week following Super Bowl XLI.

Bruno Boys - The Ultimate Fantasy Football Player

Sun, 24 Feb 2008 22:40:43 -0500

It's the offseason, which we don't need to tell any of you. It's a long layoff, but that's the nature of the beast. Perhaps that's what makes fantasy football so wonderful. 17 weeks of fantastic football bliss (unless you're a Miami Dolphins fan). So you may be wondering how we Bruno Boys spend our offseasons. We follow the players moving teams, we're excited about the upcoming NFL draft, and we love to analyze the impact of everything from coaching changes to player arrests (well hopefully not this year, but I probably just jinxed that). This, however, isn't one of those articles. Generally speaking, we also goof off a bit. So relax, and enjoy the next couple months, and we'll be back to the fantasy analysis in short order. In the meantime, however, consider what it would be like to have the ultimate player on your team? Sure Adrian Peterson, LaDanian Tomlinson, and Tom Brady owners have to feel pretty close, but that's not exactly my point. What if science actually allowed us to assemble the best aspects of all the players in the NFL? What if we could actually make the ultimate fantasy football player? I warned you it was the offseason, and the minds of the Bruno Boys start to wander. We've assembled all the parts; now we just need science to pull their weight. ——————————————————— Brain: Peyton Manning (QB – Indianapolis Colts) Let's be honest, is there a safer pick in the first round? I never end up with him on any of my teams, unless it's via trade. But Manning consistently puts up numbers. Every. Single. Year. And if you've been near a TV anytime in the last year, you've seen his face on any number of ads. One such ad features Sprint shamelessly pimping the mind of Manning, complete with swimming Dolphins and a freaky little kid whispering. Um yeah, we just want his brain. Thanks.
