San_diego_chargers_b517

The Vikings can be thrown on

Don’t be afraid to dink and dunk: My only criticism of Big Ben as a QB is his reluctance to take a check-down and dump the ball off to one of his safety valves.  Every week you see Ben dancing around the pocket looking 30 yards downfield but ignoring the RB 10 yards in front of [...]

Steelers Offense is now fantasy relevant

I was thinking about this the other day.  I don’t think the Steelers offense has ever been relevant on the Fantasy Football scene before. The Steelers offense has been so “average” for so long, it’s weird to all of a sudden have guys on the team who are thought...

Observations from Week 5: Redskins/Panthers

Washington_redskins_v_7049
Coming into Sunday’s game the Redskins had beaten the Panthers 7 of 8 times, the Panthers had the 29th ranked rushing offense in the league, and Jake Delhomme had thrown 7 interceptions. In other words, it was a perfect setup for the Skins to lose. Honestly, the Skins were lucky...
