In just three preseason games, Kenbrell Thompkins has solidified himself as the favorite to be the New England Patriots‘ starting “X” wide receiver when the 2013 regular season begins. Short on offensive weapons, the Pats gave Thompkins a shot this exhibition season and he has hardly looked like an undrafted rookie. Thompkins appeared to hit [...]
When news broke that Le’Veon Bell would be out for at least 6-8 weeks, fantasy football owners across the globe cringed. You see, Bell was supposed to be a top-notch rookie running back and was taken in the fifth or sixth round of most fantasy drafts. Unfortunately, a Lisfranc injury will keep him sidelined and [...]
If you selected Rob Gronkowski in your fantasy football draft then you are undoubtedly a bargainer, who has been burned once or twice for being rather frugal. With that being said, if the New England Patriots‘ tight end overcomes a back injury prior to the month of October then you will look a genius! Reports [...]
Hakeem Nicks has not caught a pass in an NFL game since December 16th, 2012. However, that will hopefully change on Sunday when the New York Giants welcome the Indianapolis Colts to MetLife Stadium as Nicks is reportedly going to start in what will be the Giants’ second preseason game of the season. Here are [...]
It didn’t take long for a few fantasy football owners to start second guessing themselves about selecting Le’Veon Bell in their draft. On Thursday, the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ rookie running back went down with an apparent left knee injury and was forced to sit out the remainder of the practice with a bag full of ice [...]
Despite being a first-round draft pick way back in the 2011 NFL Draft, Mark Ingram has been pedestrian in his first two seasons with the New Orleans Saints. In fact, the downhill runner has failed to emerge as the starting guy the Saints pegged him to be and now must split the load with Pierre [...]
To be fair, Stevan Ridley has never played in an NFL game in which Tom Brady was not the starting quarterback, so the jury is still out on whether or not the highly-praised running back will perform if Brady is forced to miss a bulk of the 2013 season. Therefore, the New England Patriots will really [...]
Whenever you invest a top fantasy football draft pick on a running back, you do so with the hope that said player’s offensive line can stay healthy. Well, owners who drafted Darren McFadden this season aren’t going to be happy about what happened to Oakland Raiders left tackle Jared Veldheer on Wednesday. Perhaps one of the [...]
I’ll be the first one to say that drafting a dual-threat quarterback isn’t always the right move. For example, anyone who drafted Michael Vick last season knows exactly how risky selecting a running quarterback can be. However, each hybrid quarterback is different and given his current surroundings; Colin Kaepernick should be getting drafted higher than Cam Newton. [...]
It has been quite some time since the St. Louis Rams had a dynamic wide receiver like Chris Givens sprinting up and down the sidelines. In fact, Rams fans are having flashbacks to Torry Holt when seeing Givens excel in training camp this summer. Naturally, a surefire Hall of Famer like Holt casts a rather [...]
