Posted: 19th September 2009 by Michael Whooley in NFL
With Week Two of the NFL season fast approaching, it is once again time for the Bruno Boys to pick a Game of the Week. As always, there's a fantasy football twist, focusing on a game that we feel will have a lot of impact on the fantasy football world.
This week we will head to Arlington, Texas, and the grand opening of the new state-of-the-art 80,000-seat Cowboys Stadium, where ...
Week One is in the books for the NFL, and we now have something other than projections to base our rankings on. Before heading to the Bruno Boys Fantasy Football Week 2 Defensive Rankings, let’s first acknowledge it is not time to panic after just one week of your fantasy football season.
Generally, you draft your defense because you have faith in them for the entire season. You should not drop ...
After what seemed like a long off season, Week One of the NFL season is in the books.
Hopefully all of your hard work studying projections, player rankings, mock drafts, and cheat sheets has paid off, leading to a 1-0 record after the first week of fantasy football. Whether you won or lost your first game, you can’t get overly excited as one game does not make or break a fantasy ...
In my column last week, I took a look back at 2008’s Week One performances to see what kind of trends we might be able to glean from that tiny smidge of history.

Fantasy Football Week Two Rankings: Wide Receivers
Posted: 17th September 2009 by Michael Whooley in NFL
If Week One reaffirmed anything about the wide receiver position, it was the idea that out of all the fantasy positions wide receivers are the hardest to predict.

Posted: 15th September 2009 by Michael Whooley in NFL
Doesn't it seem like almost every week in the NFL, someone from your favorite team comes away with an injury that puts him on the injury report?
The same thing can be said with your fantasy football team, as injuries to some of your guys force you to look to your bench earlier than you thought. Time to see which injuries from Week One have the potential to make the biggest ...
Fantasy Football Week Two Rankings: Quarterbacks
Posted: 15th September 2009 by Michael Whooley in NFL
Week One of the 2009 season is officially in the books, and it feels like it took forever to get to this point.
The first week of the season saw some great performances by quarterbacks, including six touchdowns by Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints, as well as some downright atrocious ones, like the four-interception performance by Jake Delhomme of the Carolina Panthers.
In injury news, Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback, Donovan McNabb, ...
