You have to be careful with the number of defensive linemen that you have on your team. A lot of these guys don’t register a lot of tackles, so if they don’t get sacks, you aren’t scoring many points with them. You will notice that most get between 40-50 tackles per season. Average that over 16 games, and that is just around three tackles a game. If there’s no sack…

It is late in your draft, your team is pretty much set, but you have a couple of picks left. Who is out there who doesn’t have a starting job now, but with a couple of lucky breaks could have a good impact this season? Who might be the guy you aren’t thinking about now, that becomes a fantasy household…

Whatever Brett Myers did while he was in the minor leagues, perhaps he should spend a couple of weeks down there every season. Myers improved to 4-1 since he returned with another stellar effort. He threw another seven shutout innings and struck out eight batters. Myers did allow nine hits, but none of them came around to score. Myers…

Jerricho Cotchery, New York Jets. No one stands to gain more from the arrival of Brett Favre then Cotchery. He is the Jets one legitimate deep threat, and with the noodle arm of Chad Pennington and the inaccuracy of Kellen Clemens, his skills would have never been properly utilized. Now with #4 in town, the Jets have a quarterback…

With the preseason winding down, and only the extremely boring fourth game remaining, a few teams have officially named their starting quarterbacks for the 2008 season.
Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons. The 4th overall pick in this year’s draft will get his chance to prove what he has right from Week 1. I think that this has as much to do with the organization…

Aaron Harang was finally able to get back into the win column on Friday, as he threw six shutout innings and struck out four batters as he raised his nightmare season’s record to 4-13. The Harangatang, as one of my most loyal readers likes to call him, won his first game since June 13th, and even though he had a quality…

Football draft. Check. Pre-season practices starting for work. Check. Me losing whatever sense I had left. Check. On to the injuries:
Alex tore his upper quad most likely the Rectus Femoris muscle. I say this because initially it was described as a groin injury by various places and then quickly switched to the quad tear once it was released. The only muscle of…

Ray Rice, Baltimore Ravens. With the injury to Willis McGahee, not to mention his general ineffectiveness, Ray Rice looks like he will have a chance to make an impact with the Ravens right away, and perhaps will be starting Week 1. McGahee insists he will be ready for the opener, but the fact that he isn’t running on the field yet…

Ok, for those of you who play with individual defensive players (IDP), we haven’t forgotten you either. Linebackers are where all the action is. They tackle, some get a good number of sacks, they get some interceptions, they really are the stars of defensive fantasy football, especially middle linebackers. Those are the guys who tend to get you the most points. Here are our top 20…

JaMarcus Russell, Oakland Raiders. The #1 overall pick in 2007 held the clipboard for most of the year last season. He did get into four games last year, but he wasn’t particularly impressive as he threw two touchdowns and four interceptions. Russell showed a few signs of his talent in the final game of…
