Fantasy Philosophers

After a disappointing return last week, if you happened to make it to the Super Bowl this week, it’s hard to sit Adrian Peterson this week. For what it’s worth, while other players like Sam Bradford and Ben Roethlisberger are likely out after playing on ankle injuries, Peterson seemed to come out of the loss […]

In the four games, Kevin Smith has played in this year, he has a yard per carry average of no lower than 4.8 yards in any contest. While Smith has been highly productive, his health and overall workload have been a problem as he’s carried the football only one game for more than seven times. […]

Michael Vick is expected back just in time for the fantasy playoffs to begin but will he perform as a worthy top ten play? On talent alone, Vick should be a no-brainer to use, but with Jeremy Maclin returning from an injury, and DeSean Jackson acting like he’s taking the season off, it’s hard to […]

What started out as a “fluky” breakout season for Victor Cruz has turned into a full-blown top five fantasy performance this year, as the Giants “No.3 receiver” is on fire of late. With Mario Mannigham possibly out for the season, it’s well past the time for all fantasy annalists and owners to consider Cruz a […]

Running Backs Toby Gerhart - The former Standford standout didn’t get much done on the ground after Adrian Peterson left the game, but he should have better success against the Falcons this week. A reasonable flex play start, Gerhart is a must add as Peterson is likely to miss more than just this weeks’ game […]

Kevin Smith vs. Packers - What a game it was for Kevin Smith as his road back to a healthy NFL career has been a long one, since he tore his ACL towards the end of the 2009 season. Last year Smith was with the Lions but clearly wasn’t the same player he was before […]

LeGarrette Blount @ Titans -  The Buccaneers haven’t been the same since LeGarrette Blount suffered a knee injury against the 49ers, but with his first 100-yard performance against the Packers, since his injury, the Buccaneers played a close game in Green Bay. It’s hard to know what to expect from the Titans as they look […]

Andre Johnson @ Jaguars -  It looks like Andre Johnson is ready to come back after his long absence from the Texans lineup. Now without Matt Schaub for the rest of the season, former USC great, and Cardinals first round bust Matt Leinart will take over. Like many backup quarterbacks, they tend to look for […]

Matthew Stafford vs. Packers - After a horrible performance against the Bears, Matthew Stafford rebounded against the Panthers with 335 yards and five touchdown passes against the Panthers, as the Lions scored 49 points. In a huge game on Thanksgiving, I’m sure the Lions will try to run the football, but if the Lions win […]

The Bears have been on the kind of hot streak that makes you believe they can do no wrong, but unfortunately the team and Bears fans received bad news, Sunday night as quarterback Jay Culter looks to be lost for at least the regulars season. A broken thumb will knock Cutler out and while he […]
