Over the last 5 years the Saints have played seven games where the temperature has been below 40. Their average points conceded has been 30.7 per game in those seven games - 23 against Carolina in 2009, 27 against Chicago in 2008, and at least 30 in the other five games. Might be a coincidence...

Clay Matthews is inactive, Nick Barnett out for the season, 7th round rookie CJ Wilson starts at end with Ryan Pickett and Mike Neal inactive, plus a few more starters who have been out for a while (and their O isn't really helathy with Finley out and Rogers not 100%). Dolphins O could put up...

Quite a few of us will have spent a mid-round pick on Chester Taylor as insurance for Peterson over the last couple of years, and given the price generally paid that turned out to be a wasted pick. In any event, there aren't many teams around the league with an undisputed full-time RB and a...

Austin Collie's playing time has increased significantly of late, to the extent that he's been on the field on almost every play in the two play-off games. Indeed, his role as the slot WR means that despite what we are still being told repeatedly by various media outlets, Dallas Clark is no...

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports: The Vikings made a late addition to their injury report on Saturday, placing rookie wide receiver Percy Harvin on the list because of an illness. Harvin is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Bears, meaning it's a "virtual certainty" he will...

For anybody who started Donald Lee yesterday and/or their opponent started Greg Jennings and the final margin was only one or two points, it's worth noting that nfl.com has given a 7-yard reception to 85 Jennings yesterday (on 3rd and 6 with 3.16 left in the fourth) that was definitely caught by...

Until recently, Justin Gage wasn't a player who many of us would have considered as much of a fantasy factor. He never really put up any sort of decent numbers in Chicago (although the year they made him a starter was Orton's game-management year), and had a solid but unspectacular first year in...

Frank Gore, Jamal Lewis, Derrick Ward, Steven Jackson, Santana Moss, Hines Ward, Donald Driver, Lee Evans, Dwayne Bowe, Terrell Owens, and Derek Mason. What's the link?

If you own Nick Folk, you've probably been pretty happy with his performance the last two weeks and might not have been considering picking up a different kicker. But this weekend, Dallas go to to Pittsburgh - where, in November and December, kickers go to die. In the months of November and...

Early signs suggest that Heath Miller will again miss this week's game for the Steelers. So what? Well, Miller's back-up, Matt Spaeth, is likely available in most leagues (actually, Miller himself is probably available in plenty too!), and much more importantly, he faces the TE match-up from...

This is turning into a weekly thread, I know, but for those who haven't yet caught on, Nnamdi Asomugha is continuing to terrorise opposing offensive co-ordinators into throwing anywhere but his way. His way, of course, is usually on the offense's left side as he lines up on the defense's right...

Jerious Norwood's career stats at the moment are 243 carries for 1526 yards. He's in his third season, had around 100 carries in each of his first two years, and is on pace for just over 100 carries again this year. The reason I'm wondering whether he'll manage to rack up 507 more carries - and...

Can anyone help me out here? I'm looking for a link or links to scouting-type player rankings or ratings for current NFL players - I'm especially interested in the (so-called) non-skill positions, if that phrase makes sense. Search engines seem to just direct me to either fantasy rankings or...

With Smith suspended for two games and the ruling on Marshall coming soon, one thing that might be worth pointing out is to be careful about using revised projections literally. For instance, let's say you had Steve Smith projected for 1200 yards and 8 TDs. That's 75 ypg and 0.5 TDs per game...

There is at least one thread about Bradshaw out there, but I wanted to ask the specific question about where he should be taken in Dynasty leagues' rookie/free agent drafts - because his surge last year came so late, he seems to be a free agent in many leagues. I have taken him at 1:08 and 1:09...

Anyone who is a regular on here will know that from time to time someone will ask a question about a WR match-up with a CB. Of course, in the media, this is overblown and misunderstood; invariably reporters will speculate about the "match-up" between one team's star WR and the opposition's top...

Bump for Roddy White in Dynasty leagues. Nobody thought Chris Redman had much value anyway I guess but he'd be going down.

Tampa Bay, Seattle, Kansas, New Orleans. Alastair Kirkwood, managing director for NFL UK, just confirmed on Sky Sports (UK version of Fox that shows all the live NFL stuff) that one of these four teams will be the "home" team for the 2008 UK game.

I may be wrong, but it looks to me like this may have been a record year for 4th down attempts. I had a quick look back through the last few years and here's what it looks like: 2000 455 2001 468 2002 497 (expansion to 32 teams) 2003 501 2004 454 2005 465 2006 473 2007 533 I suspect...

LONDON (Reuters) - The National Football League announced on Thursday it would stage another regular season game in Britain this year following the success of last October's inaugural game in London. More than 81,000 fans saw the New York Giants beat the Miami Dolphins 13-10 at Wembley Stadium...
