Waiver Wire

Ravens QB Joe Flacco – After a monster week 1, it might not be a bad idea to grab Flacco if he is available. Couple of reasons. It’s always nice to have a reliable back-up on yur roster for bye-weeks and injuries. But other managers might fall victim to the injury bug, and he can be trade bait later in the season.

Buccaneers RB Carnell Williams - What a pleasant surprie Cadillac was. 97 yards and a TD on 13 carries. If the Bucs were in the game, he would have had more touches. He has a nice stretch to end the season onto the fantasy playoffs. Starting with week 9. GB, MIA, NO, ATL, CAR, JETS, SEA (wk 15), NO (wk 16)

Saints RB Mike Bell – The guy ran for 148 yards on 28 carries yesterday. go get him. Especially if you have Pierre Thomas. And Hurry.

Colts WRs Pierre Garcon & Austin Collie – Anthony Gonzalez will be out for 2-6 weeks. One of these 2 guys need to fill his role. NFL.com’s Colts Depth Chart has Collie as AG’s backup.

Jets TE Dustin Keller – Mark Sanchez got plenty of use out of the Jets best receiving option. If he is available, go get him. He will put up low end TE1 numbers. [click to continue…]

Week 1 Rants and Raves

How about Joe Flacco. What a lock yo. That was lame, but Joe’s game Sunday wasn’t. He threw for 307 yards and 3 touchdowns. Along with a pick but that’s ok.

Tony Romo had himself a pretty dope day as well. He rocked to the tune of 353 yards and 3 touchdowns.

How awesome is Reggie Wayne? The guy catches everything. This week Reggie hauled in 10 passes for 162 yards and a TD.

Now Adrian Peterson is a sick, sick, man. Did you see him tear up Cleveland’s defense? 180 yards on 25 carries and 3 touchdowns? You can’t be serious. He is on pace for 2,880 yards rushing and 48 touchdowns.

Speaking of “you can’t be serious” Drew Brees can’t be serious. 358 yards and 6 touchdowns. Drew will be this year’s MVP. No doubt in my mind. Can’t wait to go to New Orleans for the Jets game on Oct. 4th to check this guy out. He is my man-crush. [click to continue…]

2009 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings

Post image for 2009 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings

Tier One

1-1(1) - Drew Brees– It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Brees is an Elite # 1 Quarterback in the NFL. He fell 15 yards short of breaking Dan Marino’s yards record ending the season with an astounding 5,069 yards. He also tossed 34 TDs against 17 INTs. It wouldn’t be fair to expect another 5,000 yard season, but another 35 TDs is not out of the question in the pass happy bayou. And if Marques Colston can stay healthy the whole year, Brees will be able to top the QB ranks through 2009.

1-2(2) - Peyton Manning – Manning is probably the safest pick in all of Fantasy Football. Unless injured, which never happens he hasn’t missed a game yet, Manning will deliver # 1 numbers. The loss of Marvin Harrison will have no ill effects on Peyton’s passing game. He still managed over 4,000 yards and 37 TDs without him. He got off to a rough start with the bursa sac heard around the world, but with a full, healthy offseason, expect Peyton to be back to his old tricks.

1-3(3) - Tom Brady – Brady rounds out what would be considered the “tier 1” Quarterbacks. The mere fact the Patriots were willing to trade Matt Cassel is reason enough for us to believe Tom will be playing at a high level once again in 2009.

Tier Two

2-1(4) - Phillip Rivers – Rivers tied Brew Brees for the NFL lead in touchdown passes with 34. He only threw 11 picks against Drew’s 17, and threw for over 4,000 yards. He has a solid receiving corp in Vincent Jackson and Chris Chambers, and of course Antonio Gates. Don’t forget, a simple screen to Darren Sproles can easily lead to an 80 yard TD pass. Rivers will, without a doubt, be a #1 fantasy QB in 2009.

2-2(5) - Tony Romo – Can Romo get it done without TO. Absolutely, and maybe even better. Roy Williams is a very talented WR and will fill TO’s vacancy well. The problem lies in the # 2 WR spot. Miles Austin or Patrick Crayton will need to step up to keep extra defenders off Jason Witten. The 3 headed RB corp of Marion Barber, Felix Jones, and Tashard Choice will only help open up the field for Tony. Romo has a bit of a turnover problem but maybe without TO breakin’ his balls every play, he won’t force the ball around the field. [click to continue…]
