It seems the Falcons may have gotten the running game going again against the Niners. That’s good news for owners of Michael Turner.
I like Jay Cutler all year with the Bears. The Bears D should be just bad enough to keep him throwing a lot of passes.
Is anyone really worth...

Rashard Mendenhall finally showed some signs of life in Pittsburgh. I have a hunch that he may not be giving back the job to Willie Parker anytime soon.

This is make or break. Championship or Toilet Bowl. For some Fantasy Football owners, this is their first chance to rebound from a horrible start. For others, this is the week where the downfall begins. Week four of the Fantasy and NFL season is the start of bye weeks, big time injuries...

It seems that the St. Louis offense could be in trouble. Although, Laurent Robinson might be worth a waiver wire flyer in a PPR league. Just don’t expect many touchdowns.

Chris Johnson had a huge bounce-back from a quiet first game. Rest east CJ owners.
Once again, Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson have to air it out because of Houston’s defense. That’s a good thing from a fantasy perspective.
I wouldn’t worry too much about Pittsburgh...

Adrian Peterson certainly played like a No. 1 overall fantasy back. Can he continue the streak against a team other than the Browns?
Seattler had a nice debut on both sides of the ball. Nate Burleson might be a solid waiver wire pickup this early in the season.
Holy catches Tim Hightower...

Cincinnati struggled to get in the endzone, but Chad Ochocinco may have regained his past form. That’s good news for his owners.
Denver’s passing game may have some life, but don’t expect Brandon Stokley to put up double digits every week.
Surprising to see Ricky...

Saints running back Pierre Thomas, who was drafted in the first four or five rounds of most drafts, is out in Sunday’s game against the Lions. Reggie Bush and Mike Bell will get the carries in his absence. Adjust your lineups accordingly.

Common fantasy football logic says you should handcuff your running backs. It protects your investment and prevents you from losing a starter in case of injury. Well, I’ve largely been avoiding that strategy this season. Here’s why:

Here they are, the final five. ESPN’s rankings followed by my analysis.
96. Felix Jones, Dallas, RB
The early reports on Jones are good and he should get around 10-15 touches per game in the Dallas offense. Marion Barber will still get the goal-line carries, but Jones has home...

A few thoughts from the third week of preseason games.
