Mike Bell may not have the name recognition of a LaDainian Tomlinson or Thomas Jones, but he does share something in common with both of those running backs this morning. The Saints failed to match the Eagles’ offer to the restricted free agent by the deadline yesterday, so Bell will join the Eagles’ backfield today . In doing so, he—like Tomlinson and Jones—will substantially affect the ...

The new season of Dancing with the Stars kicked off last night, and normally that would not be a topic of discussion for this type of blog. Perhaps another fantasy blog, but not one usually dedicated to football. However, this season of DWTS does feature two of football's most gravitating personalities. The artist formally known as Chad Johnson and now known as Chad OchoCinco is one ...

More to come on all that was the 2009 fantasy football season, but I thought I would start this week with a few quick thoughts on all that happened over the course of 2009. Just a few things to think about heading into the 2010 fantasy football season. Hope you had a great 2009, by the way, and even better luck in 2010! Chris Johnson very well may be the overwhelming No. ...

Playoff pictures are clearing up, superstars are resting for the playoff run, and rookies are starting to get more playing time than usual. The regular season is a long 17 weeks, and successful teams need contributions from their rookies in order to make the playoffs and possibly win the Super Bowl. The top five rookies on this list all are on potential playoff teams that needed rookie contributions to get to ...

The final weekend of regular season fantasy football is upon fantasy owners, and so too is the New Year. Big plans tonight? Hope everyone has a great New Year's Eve. Remember to celebrate responsibly and stay off the roads tonight if possible. Raise a frosty glass in honor of fantasy football and remember I told you to do so. Preparing fantasy rosters for Week 17 is a tricky process. The good thing now ...

With only one week left to go in the 2009 NFL regular season, it is time to roll out the red carpet. There is plenty of hardware to give out this holiday season. Not sure which fantasy awards we gave out last yearùand I am too lazy to look them all up at this pointùso I consolidated the categories below. A few suggestions for each of this year's awards are seen below. ...

Sorry for the tardiness of this weekÆs injury report. Spent most of the day yesterday traveling from sunny, mild Louisiana to frigid, snowy Ohio. If I have any luck this morning, there will be too much snow to get to the office and I can spend the day in my pajamas in front of the television with a cup of hot chocolate in hand. But chances are good that my wife made ...

Fantasy championship weekend has come and gone for most fantasy footballers, but a few of you still have meaningful fake football to play. If you did make it to the championship game this week, however, I hope your team fared well. Perhaps you need some help tonight to get the big win. Or need to hold off your opponent's final charge. I am in the latter category after surprisingly making the championship ...

Before I can close the door on the first fantasy postseason weekend, I wanted to jot down a few things that stuck out in my mind as I followed all the action this weekend. Not a part of this update: Randy Moss' quitting ways, any mention of Tiger Woods and all of his ladies, man-crushing on Brett Favre and my irrational love for Reggie Bush. He is pretty awesome though. Drop your ...

Several fantasy leagues played regular season fantasy football in Week 14, but that all ends this weekend as the vast majority of leagues will be playing postseason fantasy football. And that means another week of fantasy football playoff preparation here at The Hazean. Blaine will be by here later today to highlight a few of this week's savvy waiver wire additions . Yesterday's Monday Morning Rehab ran through a laundry list of ...
