Week 10 Fantasy Advice
Start QB Carson Palmer- Palmer had a big fantasy week last week against the Bucs, with 36 points. With the Raiders’ top two running backs both hurt, he will likely again be forced to pass a ton and should be fairly productive against a beat-up Ravens defense. HB Mikel Leshoure- Leshoure probably won’t score three touchdowns again like he did last week. But he’s worth starting against a Vikings defense that has allowed a running back to score in each of their last three games. HB CJ ... Read More
Week 9 Fantasy Advice
Start QB Josh Freeman- Freeman has been brilliant over the past three weeks and should continue his resurgence today against the Raiders. QB Matt Stafford- The Jaguars have allowed multiple touchdowns to every quarterback they’ve faced in their past five games. Stafford is coming off a breakout week 8 performance and should have another productive day. HB Willis McGahee- McGahee had a big game last week against the Saints. Today the Broncos face a Bengals defense that has been torched on ... Read More

The TV's in bars and restaurants are always tuned to major sports channels, with customers eagerly awaiting their team to score. But, sports are evolving. More and more people are playing fantasy leagues, and care about not only ... Read More
Week 8 Fantasy Advice
Start QB Phillip Rivers- The Chargers are coming off their bye week and the offense should be well prepared for the Browns who have let up a ton of fantasy QB points this season. QB Ben Roethlisberger- The Steelers will probably be passing often and effectively against a league-worst Redskins pass defense, especially considering the current state of their backfield. HB Matt Forte- Forte has gashed the Panthers in the past and could have a big day tomorrow. HB Willis McGahee- The Saints ... Read More
Week 7 Fantasy Advice
Start QB Josh Freeman- Freeman had his best game of the season last week against the Chiefs, and could have another big day tomorrow facing a vulnerable Saints defense. QB Tony Romo- With Demarco Murray out, the Cowboys will likely be passing a lot, and Carolina’s pass defense is mediocre at best. QB Andrew Luck- Luck has played well at home this season, and that should continue tomorrow when he faces a Cleveland defense that has been allowing a lot of QB fantasy points as of ... Read More
