Eagles center Kelce out for season Combined with Jason Peters, that means 40% of the Eagles offensive line is already gone only two weeks into the season. Not the greatest news for Vick or McCoy owners in particular, and all Philly offensive players in general. Not much more to say. I don't...

Sunday forecast from weather.com (27 mph wind) Sunday forecast from wunderground.com (20-30 mph wind, 45 mph gusts) Sunday forecast from AccuWeather.com (20-24 mph wind, 40 mph gusts) It looks like something to monitor for now. We've all seen where the forecasts are wrong either in the...

It's rare to have a team that is nearly devoid of fantasy material. The 2008 Lions, despite losing all 16 games, still had fantasy relevance at two positions (Calvin and Kevin Smith). The 2011 Rams are taking a run at having virtually no fantasy value. Steven Jackson is a likely RB2 if he can...

This will be the third time in NFL history that this "event" occurs. The first two occasions were spaced nine weeks apart in 1979, on October 28 and December 30.

The Link Unfortunately, not much here to help. Hopefully, more information to come over the next couple of days.

At the risk of inviting the usual Pats homers/Pats haters posts that these threads typically degenerate into... Heading into 2009, deciding what to do with Patriot offensive personnel was one of the trickiest aspects of draft/auction preparation. Two weeks into the season, there has to be at...

Arising from the "Who is the Saints #2 WR" thread... Grabbing two of the Saints WRs to start some/most/all weeks might be a valid strategy in deeper leagues or even some small leagues depending on scoring and lineup format. Ideally, an owner would already have a #1 WR and is in a start 3 WR...

I've found five games in which the starting QBs each had won two or more Super Bowls as starters. Three of them occurred in 1979: Janury 21, 1979/Super Bowl XIII: Pittsburgh/Dallas (Bradshaw 2, Staubach 2) October 28, 1979: Dallas @ Pittsburgh (Staubach 2, Bradshaw 3) December 30...

This is nothing fancy, but I got to thinking about this due to debates over which franchises are the most successful in the Super Bowl era and also the old argument about whether fans would trade one championship for a decade of missing the playoffs. Rather than look at titles, these two lists...

The Steelers are making their 14th appearance in a conference championship game (tying the Cowboys for most) and hosting their 10th (49ers have hosted 8), while the Eagles are appearing in their 5th NFCC out of 8 seasons. I thought I'd look up some other tidbits, interesting perhaps only to me...

Can anyone help me find out what are the official policies of the NFL concerning free agency (and waivers) during the playoffs? What I'm looking for is probably best explained in example form: The Titans have at least two defensive linemen who are currently injured and out of this week's game...

I like the idea of using a flexible lineup, and I think in a balanced league it's just one more detail that a thorough owner examines and uses in preparation for the draft and roster management throughout the season. However, if a league is less balanced, does using a flexible lineup help...

I've seen the thread questioning the Patriots going for it on 4th and 13 from the 31 and with good reason. To me, a significant blunder was the clock management on the drive that ended with the Brady to Moss TD. A Giant was injured on the play that took the ball to the 6 or 7 yard line for...

I know Burress ran a similar pattern and one-handed the catch, but was Hobbs covering him that time, too? It was hard for me to believe that both the Giants (with Moss) and the Patriots (wth Burress) did not double-cover huge WRs in the red zone.

Not that exciting, but just wondering what exactly to make of these facts. Makes all the media blowhards discussing the race for home field advantage in September seem even more of a waste of air. Of course, each time the loser was a #1 seed, so it's just a small sample size thing. Still, it...

Pretty random question for mid-August, I know. It relates to a discussion in a league I run. I'm pretty sure I can remember reading in old news stories or books about teams receiving money for finishing in second place in the regular season. I was wondering if this was still being done in...

Including the playoffs, the Colts were 6-0 against teams with 10 wins or more, but only 10-4 against teams with 9 wins or less (losses to each team in their division and also to the Cowboys). The four losses to teams 9-7 or worse equals the most ever by a Super Bowl champion. The 1988 49ers...

BGP loves to put out his efficiency ratings and use them to predict the winners of playoff games. He loves to trot out stats describing that when one team has "better" efficiency ratings on both offense and defense they are 21-2 since some random year. However, in the past 13 months there have...

I'm trying to list websites for my fellow owners to visit that will include "official" stat changes as determined by the Elias Sports Bureau. Unfortunately, I don't believe Elias publishes the list directly. I have seen two fairly reliable information sources: MyFantasyLeague support ESPN FFL...
