The Seattle Seahawks have signed running back Bryce Brown. He joins a crowded backfield with Marshawn Lynch, Thomas Rawls and Fred Jackson.

Ben Roethlisberger Not Getting His Hopes Up and Josh McCown Sits Out

Last week we were led to believe that Ben Roethlisberger would be back under center for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8. Now we’re not so sure.

Jackson’s […]

Chris Ivory Not Practicing and Eddie Lacy Is Finally 100 Percent

Darren McFadden Expected to Start While Nothing Changes for Andrew Luck’s Colts

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has said that Darren McFadden will be his team’s starting running back in Week 8.

[…]

Matthew Stafford Is a Happy Camper and a Carlos Hyde Injury Update

When the Detroit Lions fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, my immediate reaction was “this means more work for rookie running back Ameer Abdullah.” While I still believe that to be true, nobody seems to be happier about the move than quarterback Matthew Stafford. According to the Detroit Free Press, one of the reasons head coach […]

Both Cam Newton and Sam Bradford Turn in Less Than Stellar Performances on SNF

Each and every NFL game, the play of all participating quarterbacks is placed under a finely-tuned microscope.

Jonathan Stewart and Darren McFadden Explode with Surprise Rushing Performaces

There aren't many things sweeter than when you get a huge performance from a player on your fantasy team that was completely unexpected. When a player on your team who you were hoping would get you just six or seven points gets you double that amount (or even more), it's a great feeling. So if […]

Eagles’ Sam Bradford and Riley Cooper Fail to Connect During SNF Loss to Panthers

Obviously, the relationship between a quarterback and his receiving core is of the utmost importance.

Two players on the Texans are worth watching for those looking to replace the stud running […]

Rishard Matthews and Lamar Miller Among Those Revitalized by Miami Coaching Change

When Miami announced that tight end coach Dan Campbell would be taking over coaching duties from Joe Philbin, nobody expected him to have the immediate effect on the offense that he has in just two games.

Torrey Smith: Too Inconsistent to Start

A solid WR2 in every season of his career, this season might be the most frustrating yet for Torrey Smith's fantasy owners. Smith has been disappointing except for two big games in Week 2 and Week 6. His two touchdown catches (75 and 76 yard bombs) account for almost half of Smith's receiving yards. Smith […]
