Harmon WR Rankings Week 1
Harmon unfurls his Week 1 WR rankings. It’s a mighty interesting board this week with the NFL showcasing a slate of fantastic matchups.
* Steve Smith (PHI) and Michael Crabtree (SF) are expected to be available in some capacity and were therefore added to the tail end of the list.
Harmon Week 1 RB Rankings
Harmon unloads his Week 1 RB Rankings. Some of the usual suspects at the top, but a lot of new entries to consider as you scroll through the list. Can John Fox get his running game going immediately?
GB-NO backs are off of the board.
Harmon Week 1 QB Rankings
Harmon rolls up his quarterback rankings for Week 1. With GB-NO already in the books, you’ll find Rodgers & Brees absent.
Get it started with the juggernaut in San Diego.
1. Philip Rivers vs. Minnesota
2. Tom Brady at Miami

4. Matt Schaub vs. Indianapolis

Ryan Williams Falls: Beanie Wells is the Last Man Standing in the Desert
Arizona fans were obviously thrilled to hear the news that the Cardinals and star wideout Larry Fitzgerald had come to terms on a monstrous new contract. Unfortunately, that raucous enthusiasm was tempered on Friday night against Green Bay when second-round pick Ryan Williams was lost for the year with a ruptured patella tendon in his [...]
Jerricho Cotchery Released: Is Derrick Mason Coming In?
The New York Jets released Jerricho Cochery, as expected, on Thursday afternoon.
His absence, combined with the previous departure of receiver/returner Brad Smith, leaves a gap in the New York receiving corps. Dustin Keller is the rock-solid tight end in the offense, and the team did work quickly to sign both Santonio Holmes and Plaxico [...]
Gold In The Desert: Arizona Calls Up Paul Goldschmidt
You watched all day on Twitter, Facebook and the four-letter to see where the big names would be dealt. You wondered whether the Yankees would try to buy a few starting pitchers or which oft-injured starter would join the Red Sox to replace Clay Buchholz (how the hell did the Rich Harden thing even get [...]
Phillies DL Switch: Polanco Out, Madson Back
The Phillies activated reliever Ryan Madson from the disabled list on Friday for the weekend series against the Mets. Madson had been sidelined with a hand injury since mid-June. He was recalled following a one-inning rehab outing at Class-A Clearwater.
Madson reclaims the closer role for the first-place Phillies. Antonio Bastardo returns to the setup [...]
David Wright Targets July 22 Return
Aaron Taube of MLB.com reports that New York Mets third baseman David Wright will begin a rehabilitation assignment on Friday. Sandy Alderson met with reporters and spoke of a July 22nd target for Wright’s return against the Marlins.
Wright has missed two months of the season because of a stress fracture in his lower back. [...]
