Fantasy Update: DeAngelo Williams Inactive for Sunday
Posted: 6th December 2009 by kevin roberts in NFL
Every fantasy owner should be aware that DeAngelo Williams is officially listed as "inactive" and should be immediately placed on your bench.
Obviously, the next guy in line in Carolina, Jonathan Stewart, takes an immediate value boost, especially with a very friendly matchup with the horrible Tampa Bay Buccaneers' run defense.
However, not everyone has the luxury (or smarts) to hold onto Stewart as a hand-cuff, in case of this type of ...
It's history at its finest, folks. The New Jersey Nets, former (actually, permanent) owners of an NBA-record 0-18 start to their 2009-10 season, finally have their first victory .
And the crowd collectively exhales.
Go-go gadget heart strings. If you're a New Jersey fan (I'm not, and God rest your soul), this is the Super Bowl-winning kick, the comeback drive for the game-winning score, or the NBA Finals-clinching basket.
Enough about how awful ...
At this point in the season, after almost 20 games your roster is about where it needs to be, save for you patiently awaiting the return of an injured player (Blake Griffin, Kevin Love, etc.), or guessing which of your bench players will be effected the most by a potential trade in the coming weeks. All the hypotheticals in the world won't get you anywhere. In the fast-paced scene ...
It's not every week that you can walk into a match-up with an opponent and safely say your tight end will drop 10+ catches, 100+ yards, and one or more scores. No, not unless you have Dallas Clark or one of our other top seven tight ends this week, and even then you're doing a lot of praying before the results come in.
With losses like Owen Daniels and Chris Cooley ...
NFL Quick Hits for 12/4: Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Posted: 4th December 2009 by kevin roberts in NFL
Michael Turner to be Inactive for Week 13
Turner rushed back last week and it got him right back where he was the week before, so the Falcons are doing the right thing by holding him out again.
It's not like there will be a ton of running room against a solid Philadelphia Eagles run defense, anyways. Jerious Norwood will likely get the start, and both he and Jason Snelling have the ...
We're not even two full months into the 2009-10 NBA season, but what's sports coverage without over-analyzing every step that young players take?
The beautiful thing about covering the NBA Draft and watching the games as the season progresses, is getting to see which top picks quickly begin to live up to (and sometimes surpass) their projected potential, and which one's never get off the ground. Read on for the ...
Want an interesting way to decide where your favorite team ranks with the rest of the NFL's playoff hopefuls? Chances are, you're likely to find your team where you find it's quarterback.
Chicago and Carolina, unfortunately represented by two 18+ interception guys, Jay Cutler and Jake Delhomme, would easily be found somewhere near the bottom.
But we don't want to make Bears and Panthers fans cry, so we'll keep this list short ...
NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 2nd): Reggie Bush Not a Part Of The Saints Plans?
Posted: 2nd December 2009 by kevin roberts in NFL
Reggie Bush May Not be a Saint in 2010
Bush has fallen out of the elite tole he once had in the Saints backfield and isn't even a marquee player as a receiver anymore. He did shine in his last game three weeks ago, but is battling knee issues once again, as he has for the past two seasons.
The Saints are reportedly likely to cut their losses and move on, as ...
Keep talking about that "inevitable" match-up between the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts . It's not going to happen.
It's not that the Saints and Colts aren't great teams. They are. They haven't lost a game, and for good reason. They have high-powered offenses, great quarterbacks, and good coaching.
But it takes quite a bit of luck to be where they are, too. And sometimes, even after you filter through ...
Last week's "Coin Flip" article was destroyed before it even started. We pitted Matt Ryan against Donovan McNabb, vouching for Ryan against a hapless Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense, only to see the second-year star to hit the sidelines with a turf toe injury before he could do any damage.It didn't stop there. We also had a match-up between two injured running backs (Cedric Benson and Michael Turner) who had the ...
