FMC: Week 10 Superhero Michael Vick
The Redskins’ pass defense was terrible coming into Monday’s matchup with the Michael Vick-led Eagles squad. They left embarrassed, defeated and injured (Laron Landry and Carlos Rogers may both miss Week 11 against Tennessee). I don’t need to belabor the point. You’ve heard the absurd statistics regarding Vick’s performance and its place in the pantheon […]
FMC Week 9: Terrell Owens of the Bengals
I banged the drum this offseason for myriad teams to take a shot at veteran receiver Terrell Owens. Ultimately, he teamed with Chad Ochocinco to form one of the finest media-savvy duos ever. Unfortunately, Ochocinco has been relegated to the role of decoy right now (he was nearly shut out in Monday’s loss to Pittsburgh). […]
FMC: Ben Roethlisberger, QB, PIT
It’s time to honor this weekend’s “Fantasy Man-Crush” for heroics on the field of play. There are many worthy candidates out of Sunday’s action, but I would be remiss if I failed to acknowledge Ben Roethlisberger’s return to action against the Browns. * Again, we’re looking in-between the white lines for fantasy heroism here. We’ll […]
FMC Week 5: Kyle Orton
I want to give a nod to Baltimore running Ray Rice, who took on a huge workload for the victorious Ravens. Rice piled up a sizable touch count and scored twice against a strong Denver run defense to help the Ravens coast to victory. However, I have to look at this from the Fantasy angle. […]
FMC: LaDainian Tomlinson of the Jets
Tomlinson has experienced a resurgence in New York. He’s running behind a better offensive line and is thriving as one of the veteran pieces of a strong Jets squad. We anticipated that he’d earn a better rushing average as the complement to Shonn Greene while vulturing some of the goal-line work. Tomlinson’s proficiency in the […]
FMC: Arian Foster, Houston Texans
I shan’t belabor the point. The stat line says it all. Following Bob Sanders’ departure, the Texans took a cue from the Saints’ Thursday playbook and pounded the rock in the second half. The Texans ran the ball 13 times in 15 plays to open the second half, with Foster amassing 49 yards on 10 […]
