C.J., Titans not even close →

Fantasy Analysis:It is obvious that the contract negotiation will end most likely before the start of the season.  Johnson’s representation believes that he is worthy of being the highest paid NFL athlete.   But the Titans are working within a new CBA and will most likely make Johnson one of the highest, but not the highest. I don’t believe Johnson’s holdout will affect his...

CBS and tableau public Average Draft Position... →

Unfortunately to view this interactive and informative data visualization on my site just doesn’t do it the justice it deserves. CBS and tableau create a sometimes complicated but interesting tool to use for your ADP (average draft position) information. My advice is just play with it.  Start by clicking the QB and find who is tops in value.  Then move on to RB, WR, TE, etc, etc…just...

Packers vs Browns NFL Pre-Season Week 1 Greenbay vs Clevland As impressive as Packers QB Aaron Rodgers was passing the ball like the Super Bowl was yesterday rather than 6 months ago.  His opponent Browns QB Colt McCoy matched him pass for pass. McCoy hit a 27 yard laser to WR Josh Cribbs with a flick of his wrist.  He looked poised, he looked ready, and he looked confident.  I strongly feel...

Titans vs Vikings NFL Pre-Season Week 1 Houston vs Minnesota This was a game of debuts.  The one anticipated was two NFL veteran QB’s in new cities Donovan McNabb with Vikings and Matt Hasselbeck with the Titans. However they were upstaged by two other players making their own debuts. Christian Ponder with the Vikings and Jake Locker with the Titans. While I don’t see these rookies...

Bears vs Bills NFL Pre-Season Week 1 Chicago vs Buffalo Fantasy Analysis: Watching a Chicago Bears game in my house sounds like this, ‘RUN JAY CUTLER!

Giants vs Panthers NFL Pre-Season Week 1 NewYork Giants vs Carolina The Chicago Bears are run by idiots who have no clue!  Why do I open with this statement? Panthers TE Greg Olsen that’s why! Greg Olsen led all Carolina receivers last night with 3 receptions for 58 yards and 1 TD.   However between quarterback’s Jimmy Clausen and rookie 1st overall pick Cam Newton I find it hard...

Colts vs Rams NFL Pre-Season Week 1 Indianapolis vs St Louis Fantasy Analysis: The most important stat number that stands out to me in this game is 0.  The St.Louis Rams are deep at the offensive line because they did not let anyone touch the quarterbacks in this game. This could also explain the offensive production of backup veteran RB Cadillac Williams who averaged 3.6 yards a carry with 11...
