While some NFL teams tend to rely on one running back—the Titans' Chris Johnson and the Rams' Steven Jackson come to mind—the Buffalo Bills appear to be set on going with a hybrid three-back attack for the upcoming season. The Bills' defense was on the field for more than four minutes a game on average compared to the opposition defense last season. That's not exactly a winning formula. In addition, the ...

Every year it's the same question: Which player would you take number one overall in fantasy football? In 2008 it was Adrian Peterson or LaDainian Tomlinson. Last year it was Adrian Peterson or Michael Turner. This year it's Chris Johnson or Adrian Peterson. Chris Johnson had a great rookie campaign in 2008 as a split-back with LenDale White. Johnson had 1,228- rushing- yards along with 9 touchdowns. While ...

Predicting an NFL season is something that would trouble even Nostradamus. There is much more that goes into an NFL team than the average fan recognizes. Nobody but the players can account for locker room disputes, mutinies against coaches, or concealed injuries. Nevertheless, every fan does it. Once NFL schedules are released, fans go through every matchup, circling the games they believe their teams will win, and normally placing a question mark ...

I don’t know about the rest of the NFL fans out there but I have been feeling a little bit less than excited about the NFL’s Hall of Fame selection process for the past few years. Granted, I don’t think that that has been a player that should not be in the Hall of Fame (except for perhaps Michael Irvin) but lately it seems like voters responsible for putting these ...

Admit it. This is a difficult task to tackle. Pun intended. All of you out there that are true Arizona Cardinals fans know that we are not known for our defense (even that one year where Buddy Ryan was the coach and we actually had a decent defense). Now, don't get me wrong. We've had our share of star players - Aeneas Williams, Adrian Wilson, and Darnell Dockett to name ...

The Baltimore Ravens enter the 2010 season with high expectations. Through the draft and free agency, Baltimore looks to be a Super Bowl contender this upcoming season. However, with a challenging regular season schedule, how will the Ravens pan out? So today, I present my game by game predictions through the entire season. Enjoy!Begin Slideshow

The Rams selected their QB of the future in Sam Bradford. Unfortunately the pieces aren’t in place for him to turn things around too dramatically this year. At least there is hope. Fantasy Playoffs Schedule:  ModerateThey take on the Saints on the road in Week 14 followed by home games against Kansas City and San Francisco. It’s not a terribly frightening schedule, but aside from Steven Jackson, who are you counting ...

    We take a look at Baltimore's receivers, tight ends and their running game and access which players are smart fantasy draft picks and why others should probably be steered clear of this year because of their low fantasy value. Joe Flacco (QB) There are a lot of high expectations for Flacco in 2010 because the Ravens have added a good amount of talent offensively, while losing none. He had a strong start least ...

Whether a contract extension, a new agreement with a free agent, a flimsy indenture to a proven elite standout, or a teeming surplus deal with a derailing draft bust, it’s all eligible for this assignment. Note that often the phrase “guaranteed” money comes via the form of roster bonuses, so players must remain on the roster or undergo a team-related injury to collect. So without further ado, I present the 10 worst ...

Year in and out, the Pittsburgh Steelers special teams always seems to be one of the weak links of the team. This was very evident last season, particularly in kick and punt coverage where the Steelers were susceptible to long returns on what seemed to be a weekly basis and were contributing factors in several losses. The team will look to improve this season with the firing of Bob Ligashesky and ...
