Fantasy Football Sleeper Nate Burleson
Last season Detroit Lions rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford only played in 10 games, but he was on a pace to pass for over 3600 yards. In his second full season, one can expect him to attain those passing numbers. With rookie running back Jahvid Best sparking the ground game, it should open the passing game [...]
Fantasy Analysis: 2010 Offensive Line Rankings
Believe it or not there is one player in fantasy football even less respected than the kicker, and that’s the offensive line. Though we do not draft these gridiron warriors, their impact on our fantasy teams may be a revelation for some. Most fantasy owners have no clue which teams boast the best offensive lines [...]
Fantasy Football IDP Over/Under: Defensive Linemen
In fantasy sports we talk a lot about “Sleepers and Busts,” but more often than not, what we are talking about are players who are either overvalued or undervalued. Guys who are being drafted too soon or too late in drafts relative to their likely fantasy production. Welcome to the first in our preseason over [...]
Fantasy Football IDP Sleeper Cliff Avril
We have talked time and again on this site about how shallow the depth is at the defensive linemen position with regard to fantasy viability. So there is perhaps no more important IDP spot to find your sleepers. The defensive line position is one of the hardest areas for rookies to make an immediate impact, [...]
New England Patriots Fantasy Projections
In 2009, a lot of excuses were made for the Patriots failing to make it deep into the playoffs. There was Tom’s knee, Wes’s knee, Randy’s beard, Gisele Bundchen (understandable), and Maroney’s impeccable ball security (yes, that’s sarcasm), but in 2010 no amount of excuses will suffice. The Patriots are as talented as ever and [...]
Detroit Lions Fantasy Projections
Starting a couple years ago with the arrival of Calvin Johnson, the Detroit Lions have returned to the fantasy radar for the first time since Barry Sanders left and appear to be in prime position to be a player in fantasy drafts for the coming decade. Of course the benefit of being miserable for a [...]
Buffalo Bills Fantasy Projections
Well, where to begin with the neglected and forgotten basement dwellers of the AFC East. In 2009 they struggled on offense, defense, special teams, cheerleading, stadium vendoring, etc. The Bills offseason needs were numerous and remained primarily unaddressed through both the draft and free agency, as if they are trying to slip into obscurity before [...]

UPDATED: August 12, 2010 Every year brings new surprises in fantasy production at all positions but especially for team defenses.

In 2007, the San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots were the dominating team defenses. [...]
Green Bay Packers Fantasy Projections
UPDATED August 24th, 2010: Camp Updates Below.

Washington Redskins Fantasy Projections
UPDATED August 24th, 2010: Camp Updates Below. At first glance, the Washington Redskins look like a team that could possibly put together a nice season. The faint, and oft underachieving quarterback situation has been resolved with the addition of Donavan McNabb, the backfield has a committee that seems like a three headed monster, and the [...]
Minnesota Vikings Fantasy Projections
And like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, over the past few seasons the Minnesota Vikings have resurrected themselves from the fiery hell that Daunte Culpepper left them in to become the front runner of the NFC North Division. Granted, the NFC North is on the soft side with Green Bay being the only other [...]
