Deeper & Down - New England Patriots

James Elvins — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 16:10:27 PST

This is probably the closest thing to a rebuilding or transition that the franchise has been in for a long time now. The defense has arguably as many needs along the line and at linebacker as Buffalo. That’s the bad news. The good news? New England has eight picks to play with - including three second rounders.

Deeper & Down - New York Jets

James Elvins — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 01:17:48 PST

Brash, rash, confident or just plain arrogant? The Jets are looking good to build on last season in 2010 and the “siege mentality” that Ryan and the Jets have adopted will serve them well as it has so many other successful franchises.

2010 Free Agent Watch - QB

Walter Collazo — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 05:49:34 PST

Every year the league has players change team either through trades or by singing of free agents. With 2010 being an uncapped year starting on March 5, it will be interesting to see where players go. We will first take a look at the free agent quarterbacks that will be available this offseason.

Deeper & Down - Miami Dolphins

James Elvins — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 04:30:05 PST

If ever any team needed a wide receiver like no other, it’s Miami. Even Tennessee - long the poster boy for a lack of wide receiver talent - have a decent wide receiver corps now.

Deeper & Down - Buffalo Bills

James Elvins — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 02:56:46 PST

The Bills have a ton of needs and are in major rebuild mode - something that departed head coach Dick Jauron did his best to paper over for some time. The addition of George Edwards at Defensive Coordinator will definitely make an often underrated defense better, but he’s also asking an awful lot of the existing personnel to make that transition.

NFL Draft 2010 - QB Prospects

Oar and Marty — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 16:08:10 PST

If his shoulder checks out he will be among the league's elite within 4 years. The most important items when evaluating a QB are accuracy, decision making, and leadership. Bradford embodies all of these attributes, and then some. He's a classic pocket passer with pinpoint accuracy and elite production that has good size and adequate arm strength to make all of the necessary throws. Outside of durability concerns, the only area of his game that may need some maturing is his ability to perform under heavy duress, the results were inconsistent when he was in school but given his mental attitude toward the game there is good reason to believe he can overcome this issue. It seems outlandish to make such a comparison, but there really hasn't been a prospect like Bradford since Peyton Manning.

2009 Third-Year Wide Receivers

Walter Collazo — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:31:20 PST

During the preseason, we look at a number of factors when deciding on sleepers and breakout players. One of these is the wide receiver third year roll. This rule indicates that a wide receiver will excel in their third year in the NFL. We look at the wide receivers of 2009 in year three as well as the third-year wide receivers for 2010.

The Diary of a Fantasy Virgin - Week 20

Tim Davoll — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 08:12:07 PST

And then there were two. Two teams that will end another football season two weeks from now. My prognostication was the worst it has ever been. I could not imagine the final two teams at all.

Draft Day 2009 - Lessons Learned

Matt Wilson — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 05:16:22 PST

For more than two decades, fantasy football owners coveted running backs like gold. Stud runners composed the nucleus of most winning teams, and the acquisition of elite backs on draft day served as the driving force behind the most popular drafting strategies. In 2009, however, we witnessed what may have been the permanent devaluation of the running back position..

Tony Holm — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 11:28:36 PST

After 16 grueling weeks of stiff competition in our premier league, The Great White Shark League, nicos28 ('07 Site Champion) went head to head against Phyrre56 ('03 & '06 Site Champion) in a battle for the ages.
