The 2009 Fantasy Football Season is showing itself as one that has been extremely stingy with injuries to key RBs. Some owners employed a tactical strategy, on draft day, of waiting until the later rounds to secure high potential backup RBs and/or handcuff RBs in anticipation of the routine rash of RB injuries. In most [...]

It’s time for my top selections for Suicide Pools. If you’re looking for one sure-fire winner each week, look no further than this column. I’ll give you my top three, just in case you’ve already chosen my top selection. The roll will continue from last year where I barely ever missed.

With week 8 officially in the books at The Big Ticket, players are winning on nearly 1 of every 5 tickets. You will be hardpressed to find another fantasy game of skill with that high of a player win percentage. Come check out The Big Ticket this week, there is just more opportunity to win CASH, and isn’t that what your looking for.

Ratings (1-5) and thoughts for all impact players this week. The report is always available under the ‘Tools’ menu at the top right of the FantasyFootball.com home page.

Ryan Moats- I picked him up at 4:18 pm Sunday, and he was likely gone from some waiver wires an hour or more before that. Here are my thoughts. Moats is quick and had an incredible day, 23 carries for 126 yards and 3 TDs. I am happy for him since he has been a career backup having what may go down as his best NFL memory of his life. But Steve Slaton is the starter for a reason, and I can’t see Houston leaving him on the bench to rot.

I hate Gary Kubiak so much that it stings, I went 3-7 in my 10 fantasy leagues, and I still couldn’t be more hooked on fantasy football! It is week 9 and that means it’s the last 6 team bye week, so let’s find some gems off the wire and crack open another Fantasy 6-Pack right here at FantasyFootball.com!

Senior Staff Writer Perry Van Hook takes his weekly look at the free agent lists with some tips and recommendations.

The Fantasyfootball.com Staff League is a league that is housed on fantasybowl.com and features 14 members of the site’s staff.  My week 8 match-up was against Brian Pearson’s Six Kings squad that featured Eli Manning, Ray Rice, Marion Barber, DeSean Jackson and Frank Gore.  Looking at then lineup compared to mine, I figured I had [...]

Week 9 is upon us and you’re probably thinking to yourself, are there anymore viable IDP options on the wire at this point?  I am here to say….yes.  Depending on your league size, there still should be some viable options on the wire for your squad.  Pickens might be slim but, there’s always a diamond [...]

Well, now that Gary Kubiak has officially gone Shanahan and installing an RBBC in Houston, now’s the time to comb the wire for that all elusive, golden ticket for the rest of the season.  Here are some names to look out for on your league’s wire as we head into week 9:
Running Backs
1. Ryan Moats [...]

It really is quite amazing what kind of withdrawals you have when you don’t have web access.  I felt totally disconnected from the world yesterday and I couldn’t login to make a lineup change, which might have cost me in one league.  But, here are my observations from around the league as week 8 comes [...]

It’s time talk injuries of the week and that means Owen Daniels, Jake Delhomme, and Anquan Boldin are on the trainers table. We’ve got it all right here in the latest edition of Infirmary Report, the first article to read for what happened on Sunday. So, make sure you know all the big injuries and check us out every week right here at FantasyFootball.com!!!

With Finley out again, Havner responded with a two catch, 21-yard, 2 TD performance that has to make you stand up and take notice. Not in a Chris Johnson, 24 Rush, 228 yds, 2 TDs kind of way. More like a Samkon Gado kind of way.

Weather is sometimes a huge factor in how well our fantasy players are going to do every weekend. Make sure you check out if your stud or sleeper is playing under sunny skies or in the muck of mud this weekend.

It’s time for my top selections for Suicide Pools. If you’re looking for one sure-fire winner each week, look no further than this column. I’ll give you my top three, just in case you’ve already chosen my top selection. The roll will continue from last year where I barely ever missed.

Last week was pretty cut and dry. The only real surprise has been the downfall of the mighty Giants. Chris and Pearson continue fighting back and forth for the top spot while the rest of the pack are close behind.

It’s Halloween weekend, so gear up and empty out your pillow cases for some trick or treating.  Don’t forget to turn your clocks back as daylight savings ends this weekend, which gives you an extra hour to agonize over your fantasy football team this Sunday.  This is going to be a shortened version of the [...]

It just seems to me to be the perfect game to give Beanie a chance to breakout. He had a career high 14 carries last week and the Panthers are exploitable on the ground. These three stars should have an asterisk though; three stars for those willing to gamble. This is no lock, just a hunch.

Back in 2005, FantasyFootball.com senior writer Andy Pino used to write a column called “The GM Perspective”. Those of you who were inmates back in the day remember this piece. It was clearly one of the best articles we had running on the site for two straight years until Pino decided to retire to spend more time with his family. The article was a basic, weekly overview of all things fantasy, and covered players injuries, news, trends, etc. It had it all. Mr. Pino, your columns have been missed.
