For you history buffs, we will archive every article penned by the Shark Team in 2008. As each week is finished, we will move the content to this page so you can reminisce about the good old days ... like week 1.
The one place in this game that there's a slight advantage is when the
Steelers run the ball. The Redskins have been good at stopping opposing
RB's, WR's and TE's like the Steelers but the Steelers bread and butter
has been that running game even though they came into this season
wanting to pass the ball.
Kurt the Cryptkeeper Warner, Dyin Brian Westbrook, and Andre Fergalicious Johnson top the costumed lists in your special post-Halloween update from the Stat Lab in Week 9 of Who Sharks are Starting. You don't need a report to tell you 98% of owners are starting Washington's very own Sheriff Gonna Getcha. This is decision-by-decision analysis ripped from the offical and community leagues here at FantasySharks.com, brought to you every Thursday and Saturday, to help you decide who to start.
Being that we’re roughly mid way through the NFLseason, I thought it
would be interesting to compile the current fantasy stats andput
together some rankings. Granted, this will have NOTHING to do with
future projections, it is purely based on an individual’s average
fantasypoints scored per game up to this point in the season.

It is time to turn the corner this season, and I’m seeing some great value at the safety position these days. It’s tough to find strong LBs at this stage in the game, but good DBs could possibly be a team changer for you at the season midpoint.
Philadelphia @
Seattle (+6.5):What we have here is two teams heading in different directions. The Eagles offensive players are as healthy as they've been in a while and should continue to air it out with ease.

Another week of my obvious and not so obvious observations of the NFL. While I claim to know some things, the reality is I know nothing so this information is to be used for entertainment purposes only. This week I offer three running backs who will likely make a huge difference for any team looking to make their fantasy playoffs.
Welcome everyone to the Week 9 installment to the 2008 Rookie Report. Each week during the regular season, the report will cover trends, news items and analysis of notable performances by the NFL’s 2008 Rookie Class to assist in your pursuit of dynasty championship gold.
Here's a quick look at the top teams of the NFL, in the only top ten list that goes up to eleven in the history of the internet and all of professional sports, ever.
Trick or Treat ? Mike Sarmento, Fantasy Football Staff Writer Oct 30, 2008
The Fall Classic will end prior to kickoff this Sunday. The Rookies are galloping toward the 1,000-yard mark. You ate all the Halloween candy. So you put out an empty bowl with a sign that says "take one". Even with all the planning, you still get eggs thrown at your house. So you audibled to trick? Normal people eat 200 mini twix bars. After all, they are mini.
The NFL reaches its own midway point where they begin to focus on the playoff pictures and know which players they will ride the rest of the way. You need to do the same. There are currently 52 players and three defenses that have recorded just one week of 10+ fantasy points. Most of these players do not need to be on your roster.
Orlovsky, Orton, Avery and Olsen. No, this isn't just a law firm that is willing to help you receive the compensation you deserve from a serious injury suffered at work, it's also a list of fantasy starters recommended in week nine. It's not exactly Manning, Tomlinson and Owens, but who said fantasy football was predictable?
If you’re anything like me and drafted a “value” TE late in the draft this year, you’re probably scrambling to find consistency at the position heading into the playoffs (or just trying to make the playoffs). I probably don’t have to tell you the position is way down when you look at the viable options top to bottom. In this edition of Digging Deeper, we’re going to analyze and project the Top 8 TE options for the rest of the season who might still be available on the waiver wire in your leagues.
Well, all three of my selections won last week (the Jets, Texans and Eagles) and the team I told you to avoid that may have looked good on paper (the Buffalo Bills), lost. So hopefully you took my advice last week. It's not as easy this week so check out the game-by-game analysis.
The guys are back for 2008 - running down the top 3 players at each position for the week, how they think they'll do this week, and the top headlines of the past week. It's a dose of fantasy info mixed with a dash of fun.

Mike Singletary is wasting no time putting his mark on the team in San Francisco. First, Vernon Davis is told to leave the game...though we fantasy owners would wonder if he was on the field playing in the first place...in addition to Shaun Hill, we've got a bevy of quarterbacks to talk about in the "Deep Only" section, some I'm more serious about than others.

The Packers are a better team than they've been showing and they're starting to get healthier and that will translate to wins. Aaron Rodgers is going to go off on Sunday with Greg Jennings and Donald Driver leading the way. Expect a huge number from Aaron Rodgers and Greg Jennings and a just less than huge number from Donald Driver. If you're starting Greg Jennings,
make sure you take your opponent out to watch the Packers game just so
you can watch his/her face in person, turn white at half-time.
My two main picks (Bears and Bucs) both snuck out victories last week and my third option in the Eagles took care of the Seahawks. You should have advanced last week so as we now enter our first double-digit week in number 10, the field becomes slimmer. Check out the game-by-game analysis for this upcoming week …

Welcome back to The Hive! Thursday games are starting up, so decision time is upon you yet again in this election week! See who The Hive nominates to replace injured studs like DJ Williams and IDP horses who are suddenly looking for work like Deangelo Hall.
As the injuries continue at the QB position, keep in mind the Gus Frerotte's, Tyler Thigpen's and Chad Pennington's of the league will fill in nicely from week to week. You don't need Drew Brees at QB to contend if your other skill positions can carry their own weight. Dig deep in the trenches of the waiver wire for QBs, you never know when that supposed rock will turn into a diamond.
For those of you suffering the QB injury blues, look no further than Matt Ryan
to lift your spirits. Ryan has thrown two TDs in three of the past four
weeks and has averaged 248 yards passing during that same span. Look
for continued success from Ryan this week against the Saints who
allowed 341 passing yards to Philip Rivers and the Chargers two weeks ago.

It's crunch time for playoff contenders and owners on the bubble. Every point counts, and you're looking for trades to add strength and free agent prospects to add depth before the waiver deadline. You just have to pick the right ones.
Stats are as much about making good decisions as they are the numbers, and I'm a bit of a science buff and news junkie, so in this edition of the Stat Lab, we'll take some lessons from those lab researchers whose game day jersey is a white coat. Here are five how-tos and how-not-tos in putting your brain to work towards fantasy football success.
In this week’s edition of Digging Deeper, we’re going to analyze four new starting NFL QBs filling in either for injury or demotion, and what the immediate fantasy implications will be on their respective offenses.
Happy Voting! We are rapidly approaching several key situations for fantasy leagues. We are finishing up our bye weeks for the year, we have trade and waiver deadline depending on your league rules and playoffs start in the next four to five weeks.

Braylon is going to continue his success in the second half of the season. Since Week 4, in basic leagues that do not award a point per reception, Braylon has averaged 11.6 points per game, including three touchdowns. He faces
Denver who is without Champ Bailey next week on Thursday Night Football. The last time he played in primetime, he went off on the Giants.
First, the good news, this is the last week with teams on a bye. Now, the bad news, this week begins the Thursday night games that will continue for the rest of the season. That's right, the NFL is upsetting the schedule of their best customers, the fantasy players. Check your league rules to make sure you are aware of your free agent pickup deadlines, as well as your lineup submission deadlines.

Following three surprisingly rock-solid performances, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Tyler Thigpen has come out of nowhere to achieve fantasy-relevant status. Is this guy the waiver wire wonder of the 2008 season? Can fantasy owners count on Thigpen during the stretch run? In his newest edition of In The Spotlight, Matt Wilson gives us the 411 on the pride of Costal Carolina University and his fantasy prospects for the rest of the season.

The Chargers just don't seem to be the Chargers we thought they would
be. Sure, Shawn Merriman was the heart and soul of their defense and
that set them back but I'll tell you what happened to the Chargers and
how they ended up here.
This week the guys bring the “Games to Watch” to you a day early, to make sure you don’t miss a prime Thursday night match-up.

In the Week 6 edition of Digging Deeper titled "In Non-PPR, is it a WR’s Game Yet?", we took a look at how RBs compared to WRs in regards to individual fantasy points, and how many RBs there were compared to WRs in the Top 100 RBs and WRs through Week 5 in non-PPR leagues. Now that we’re another five weeks into the season from that point, as promised, we’re going to return to the analysis to see where we are at this point.
My three picks all won last week, including my No. 1 pick in the Dolphins. As we get further in the season, it only gets tougher as your available teams become slimmer. Be wary of the road teams this week as they could be very tempting, especially the 9-0 Titans. Take a look at my Week 11 game-by-game analysis.

Michael Turner, Anquan Boldin and Drew Brees top the lists, with Tony Romo back in the rankings at No. 10 in your biweekly report from the Stat Lab in Week 9 of Who Sharks are Starting.

The bye weeks are finally done which leaves you with a full roster of choices for your starting lineup. Be warned that there is a Thursday night game each week for the next six weeks. Start looking at your matchups early in the week so that it's not a coin flip at 7:59 p.m. on Thursday night deciding your fantasy team's playoff fate.
Week 11 is here and the
Brew Crew Corner is still going strong. Hopefully you’re in the thick of your playoff battles and have a chance to fight for the championship.
We're going to start winding down the weekly waiver wire story, in fact, this will probably be the last of the season.

Cutler went on a
tear last Thursday, throwing for 447 yards and three TDs. He did throw
one INT, but overall he played excellent. It wasn’t too much of a
surprise that the yards were so high because Denver basically had no running backs against the Browns due to injuries.
Cutler has thrown for over 700 yards the last two weeks and owners can
expect more of that the rest of the way.
The Virgin is on a roll. A victory tonight is most likely assured and with it will be first place in my division. I am done with my bye weeks a week early.
My team performed quite well.

The Chiefs are making a nice cinderella story in the NFL this year. Tyler Thigpen
comes out of obscurity to already be tagged as the Chiefs starting QB
next year. Sure there'll be an open competition for the job with Brodie Croyle and Damon Huard
but the job is Thigpen's to lose and he's far ahead of the pack right
now. While the fantasy world is gushing about him, he did complete just
50% of his passes last week so it's not all perfect yet and there is
room for Thigpen to fall flat on his face still. However, a promising
start for the young Chief and we look forward to seeing more from him. Larry Johnson
will struggle getting yards on the ground but he will get the tough
yards. If you have a 'tough yards' scoring category then get LJ in!
Six games?! That's right. Vinnie's staking his claim in half a dozen games this weekend, most of his picks underdogs. "What can I say," says Vinnie, "the odds on these are more enticing than usual."
After watching New York Jets tight end Dustin Keller rack up two strong fantasy performances in consecutive weeks, fantasy owners have been debating whether Keller will continue to breakout or abruptly flameout.

Only two weeks until fantasy playoffs begin. If you haven't already, it's a good time to review the schedules of your roster in Weeks 14-17 to see how you match up. There are still plenty of Shaun Hill's and Justin Gage's on the waiver wire. Start digging.
My two main picks in the Dolphins and Panthers both won last week.
Miami came away with another close win against an inferior opponent, but got the job done in the end. My third option, the Eagles, which I was wary of, tied the Bengals. This is an odd occurrence, but in most survivor pools, it should be counted as an elimination since they did not advance. I continue to stress to beware of the road teams!

Weather can
dominate an NFL contest like the nothing else. Being a playoff-caliber
team and challenging for your title means that you must check the
