Because of the huge number of articles, this archive is divided into sections:

Under The Microscope - Atlanta Falcons
Paul Fountain, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Oct 7, 2005 |
|
|
| If you choose to draft Michael Vick for your fantasy team, understand one thing right up front - you are not really drafting a QB. You are drafting the 2nd RB in a RBBC system, plus a few passing yards. |

Observation Deck - Week 4
Jason Brichta, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Oct 5, 2005 |
|
|
| The Saints have long enjoyed a legacy of losing ways and fans with bags on their heads. The future of the team may be no different, but at least they had a crowd this week that made them feel at home. |

Week Four in Review
Doug Coutts, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Oct 3, 2005 |
|
|
| Week four is in the books...hope your opponent didn't have a guy like Neil Rackers going wild against you. I hate losing when the other guy's kicker is their star. |

The Prognosticator - Week 6
Tony Holm, "The Prognosticator"
Oct 15, 2005 |
|
|
| The Vikings sure aren’t impressing anyone quickly. Ownership has given Mike Tice a vote of confidence and I can only assume from that gesture, Tice has pictures... |

Under The Microscope - Denver Broncos
Paul Fountain, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Oct 14, 2005 |
|
|
| What's that? You want to know who is starting at running back? Sure, so do I. But most of us have been playing fantasy football long enough to know that Mike Shanahan doesn't reveal his starting RB plans from week to week. |

The Prognosticator - Week 7
Tony Holm, "The Prognosticator"
Oct 21, 2005 |
|
|
| The Giants are favored in this? Really? The Broncos will run all day long and run well. Both Mike Anderson and Tatum Bell will have decent numbers. When things get stingy on the ground the Broncos will be able to make completions up top, in particular to Rod Smith... |

Vinnie, Caribbean Affiliate
Oct 21, 2005 |

|
| OK, Another rough week for Vinnie. The Giants played with heart, and covered against the Cowboys. Unfortunately, Randy Moss got hurt, and that hurt our chances with the Raiders. |

Bye Week Bonanza
The Sin City BetBot 6000, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Oct 21, 2005 |
|
|
| Most of the suggested players are on a bye this week, which is OK because the short Miami-KC game probably pushed your waiver deadline up anyway. Not that the BetBot cares. |

| The Virgin is on vacation this week. Yes, this time I will be far, far, away from a computer. Unlike writing articles from Switzerland, this is going to require some thought. |

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
Glenn Anderson, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Oct 18, 2005 |
|
|
| Do you often dream that LT2 or Shaun Alexander is on the waiver wire and you have the first choice? If so, I advise you to seek immediate counseling. Or alternatively, join a free Yahoo league where most teams have been abandoned and this is actually a realistic scenario. But I digress...for the rest of you, we present our hot waiver-wire pickups for week 7!!! |

Week Six in Review
Doug Coutts, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Oct 17, 2005 |
|
|
| The game time decision continues to be a problem...Dillon, no go. Thomas Jones, go. Horn, go but no stats. What's a fantasy owner to do? If you were up against Tomlinson or Alexander this week, it didn't matter what you did.... |

The Prognosticator - Week 8
Tony Holm, "The Prognosticator"
Oct 28, 2005 |
|
|
| The Panthers can look anywhere from great to average on any given Sunday, though one thing they have proven is that they are always in the thick of the game until the final bell sounds. Rrrrrrooooowwwwwww!! Do they still have that pathetic Rrrrrrrooooooowwwwww!! sound at their home games? |

Vinnie's Pick$ and Pa$$es - Week 8
Vinnie, Caribbean Affiliate
Oct 28, 2005 |

|
| Not a bad week last week, BUT it could have been much better if the Packers had been able to beat the Vikings in the second half too. In any case, we’re moving in the right direction. |

Under The Microscope - New York Giants
Paul Fountain, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Oct 28, 2005 |
|
|
| If the Giants go on to a deep playoff run this season, last week's win against the Broncos will be looked upon as a turning point in their season and something of a coming-out party for soon-to-be elite quarterback Eli Manning. |

| This past week was the week of the Defensive Linemen. DL’s seemed to dominate in IDP leagues more than usual. Don't count on that trend to continue. |

| Parity is taking over the NFL as we approach the mid point of the season. The Colts and the Texans have clearly claimed the top and bottom spots in the rankings, but the other 30, that's were it gets tough. |

Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
Glenn Anderson, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Oct 25, 2005 |
|
|
| Ahman Green...Steve McNair...Marc Bulger...Isaac Bruce...Robert Ferguson...Torry Holt...Joe Horn. Must I go on? With a Pro-Bowl caliber team missing time with injury this week, combined with the heart of the dreaded bye-week, lots of teams out there are digging deep when picking starters. But fear not...there's plenty of help on the waiver wire this week! Let's go! |

Jason Brichta, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Oct 25, 2005 |

|
| This week was probably the most exciting of the season, with five games being decided by three points or less. The sweetest one involved a Manning, but it wasn’t the one you thought of first. |

Week Seven in Review
Doug Coutts, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Oct 24, 2005 |
|
|
| A couple incredible comebacks in the late Sunday games capped off a good slate of games this week...a few of the fantasy studs got into the endzone multiple times, hopefully you had more of those players than your opponent as we reach the halfway point in the fantasy season. |
