Looking to do some offseason research using the FantasyPros compilation of expert rankings. You can always "export" or download the summary info for each week (best, worst, average, ECR). Unfortunately, I can't find away to go back and get past weeks. Did anyone in SP happen to download this...

One of the great things about the Shark Pool is strong takes backed up by facts. This is not one of those threads ... yet. I've been working on a write-up and a collection of links regarding Jake Locker and wanted it get it out before his first game so no one could say I was jumping on the...

"Irresistible…BUT PLEASE WAIT UNTIL WE ARE OPEN" My wife saw the ad in person yesterday. They are REALLY GOOD donuts.

Cast your vote.

On the PFR Blog, Drinen wrote a great article about aging curves/patterns for each position. I can't get a date on the article, but based on the use of Brad Meester as the example, I assume it's relatively old. Does anyone know of an update? Has anyone done their own update of the data? Thanks.

I've found a number of sources with information about specifc ages at which player peak and at which they decline (see Doug Drinen, Couch Potato, Football Outsiders - some links below). Has anyone seen this information built into a formula showing an aging curve (a curve estimating improvement...

This is a juicy matchup. The Cardinals average giving up 2 passing TDs a game! This matchup could be key to getting teams into the playoffs or improve their seeding. But everyone knows the story around McNabb ... 7 turnovers in 7 quarters, benched at the half. What to do? I am leaning...

Who would take over for LJ were he to get suspended by the league? Jamaal Charles or Kolby Smith or other? And is there any value there?

The FBG projections has decent numbers projected for AD, but not great numbers given that he faces the TEN defense, which has been stout. Is anyone sitting him for a "slightly" lesser talent (e.g., MJD, Turner) that is projected for a better game. Seems like you just can't bench AD because he...

http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...,1,148437.story Unhappy with Benson's production and concerned about his ability to recover from a broken ankle that cost him the final four games of 2007, the Bears selected Matt Forte of Tulane in the second round of this year's draft. Coach Lovie...

Seems like most had him going to Detroit or Chicago. Where does he end up? does someone trade up for him? In hindsight, seems like teams may have been scared off by the only one year of success.

Let's compile a list of options: 1. Sign up for text messages from ESPN.com (as part of their alerts). You can get pick-by-pick alerts. 2. Profootballtalk (m.profootballtalk.com) via a WAP browser. Assume it is same coverage, just fit for your phone. Good for the rumors and analysis (if...

Couldn't find a thread on this topic... When do you start a QB that plays on the same team as one of your opponent's WRs? Seems like a move to limit your downside and your upside, so maybe the right move when you think you have the dominant team?

I was having trouble finding old threads that answered these questions, which I think get asked every year. Feel free to reply with a link if you know of an existing thread. Here we go: 1. I have to equally good options at WR. One WR is the #1 WR for my opponent's QB. Is it good strategy...

These guys seem worthy of some injury updates. What have you heard?

This is a hard match-up for me to evaluate. I think there are two overly-simplified ways to look at this matchup: 1. It's going to be a shoot-out and Big Ben is a good/great start this week. 2. This is a match-up of two excellent teams that will be close. The NE defense has slowed down a...

According to FootballOutsiders.com, the Raiders are #1 in the league at stopping the opposing team's #1 WR but 31 out of 32 at stopping the opposing team's #2 WR. I see opportunity to exploit a good matchup. But who is going to draw Oakland's #1 CB: Walker or Marshall? I don't know the...

In the latest edition of NFC Playbook on NFL Network, which was before this weekend's games, Mike Mayock did a detailed analysis of Adrian Peterson. At the end, he asked Sterling Sharpe and Brian Baldinger whether they should coach AD to step out of bounds and not take such punishment. Sharpe...

First, this is not rookie thread for over-reacting to the 1 for 10 performance Gates had last week. This is the first time I can remember that FBG does not have AG is not projected to be the #1 TE. So if you happen to be lucky and have both Gates and the player they have projected to be #1, do...

Since Javon Walker's injury, iirc, Brandon Marshall's weekly projections have put him as a low end WR1 (non-PPR, 12 teams) or high-to-mid WR2. While he's been consistent and reliable (putting up about 7 pts each week in my league), he hasn't lived up to the projections, especially the lofty...
