He scored 49 points in my league this week... jeez.

As a Rams fan I would have guessed camp sensation, but anything is possible with Jo-Lonn Dunbar out with that suspension. Right now Armstrong is still probably behind Jonathan Stewart on the depth chart, unless something changes after the 4th preseason game. That said, he will likely make the...

I think Shamarko was an underrated talent in the draft this year, and may be one of the best or the best safety talent wise in the draft. He's played great in preseason during the snaps he's had and may get more playing time this season than expected. Maybe he won't be as productive as Polamalu...

Some people thought Darian Stewart was a sleeper safety and McCleod likely has his job... so if the opportunity was there for Stewart, it is for McCleod, and McCleod is a better tackler.

You're ignoring Shamarko Thomas, who could be one of the better ones... big play guy when he replaces Polamalu in Pittsburgh in a year or two.

Foles would be great in a pocket passing offense but they're making him run the same read option stuff that Vick does, but the defense isn't afraid of Foles' running ability. Kelly said he'd tailor the offense to the talent but he isn't doing that during preseason and it isn't doing Foles any...

Bell had better agility numbers at the combine than Bernard. Maybe not the same straight line speed, but Bell's straight line speed was pretty good for his size, better than Morris. Agility is often more important for RBs to succeed in the NFL. The interesting thing with Morris is that he may...

Any updates on this? I'm still interested. I'd prefer 16 teams to 12 though, unless we had expanded lineups in the 12 team league, like more starters and maybe 35-40 roster spots... although with taxi slots, 40 probably isn't necessary. It's more fun when more guys are worthwhile, especially in...

So to get this thread back on topic as this relates to fantasy... This is actually a good thing for us fantasy owners. If the Eagles keep him on the roster it means they think they need him to be successful this season, since if he was a bubble guy they'd just drop him now to save the PR...

Sent you a PM, I've been looking for a league similar to something like this with a salary cap after one I was in last season went caput. Though I do like deeper rosters than just 30, with large starting lineups and maybe a little return yard scoring mixed in... :P

Donald Jones is very similar to Victor Cruz. He just hasn't had a decent QB throwing to him. I'd keep a very close on Jones since he could do a lot in the Patriots offense. They like to make a lot of short throws and Jones is the kind of guy who can put up huge YAC, much like Cruz, and much...

1.13, Mikel LeShoure for Torrey SmithAndre Johnson, Devier Posey 2.04 (17th pick) for Jonathan Stewart, Ryan BroylesBoth from the same league. My top WRs were AJ and Miles Austin and we start 2-4 in PPR. I've been trying to get a little younger there without much success so I took that deal with...

It's definitely true that the Quarterback still has to be a decent player to get it done in the read option.I'm not sure he really hits on one point about it - in the read option, you don't have to be AS GOOD of a passer to be successful compared to a pocket passing offense, AS LONG AS YOU ARE A...

I'd take Wilson easily. Heck I have 1.01 next year... and I've considered offering it up for Wilson. I was trying to get him for most of this season but the owner has been really stubborn and now his value is probably going to blow up. We'll see though.And I think that says a lot about Wilson...

Typically it isn't, but with Bruce Carter and Sean Lee out for the season there are tackles to be picked up and McRary has a chance to grab them. Don't think he's going to be a huge producer, but if you need a guy to spot start for a game or two he could be a good bet right now.
