Check it out...FFGeekBlog.com is now sponsoring our first athlete! Although we didn't pay a dime for the sponsorship, we still got our name down the sleeves of my brother's biking jersey. You can visit his site at www.JohnKueter.com (it's still in progress though, so don't be too critical!)

Marc Bulger has been ruled out for the Ram's week 13 game against Atlanta. Torry Holt becomes no better than a mid-range WR2, and Isaac Bruce barely even merits consideration at WR3, if you're desperate.

Here’s a look at the guys who spent their time in week 12 doing one of three things: rumblin’ up the player value charts with big performances, bumblin’ through a rough week and making their owners nervous, or stumblin’ so badly that their fantasy value took a major hit.

Did you go and start Eli Manning last weekend based on my "stud" prediction? If so, you're probably not too happy with me...but who would have known he'd throw 4 INT against the league's worst pass defense?! I did make a few solid predictions though, as Favre and his receivers went hog wild against the Lions, as did Kurt Warner. The Dolphins running game was horrible, as expected (with a little help from the weather), and the young guns Brodie Croyle and John Beck were pretty bad as well. However, along with Eli, I must admit that I mad a few botched picks, starting with A.J. Feeley (come on...was I the only one that predicted a bad game here?) and Rudi Johnson.

After eagerly awaiting his return to the NFL, injury troubles in the Dolphins backfield gave Ricky Williams the chance to be the starting running back this past Monday. Six carries and fifteen yards later, his season is over. Williams tore his chest muscle and rehab will take over five months, but he should be ready for next season his agent says. Will he get another chance in the NFL? Probably. Will he ever be an effective running back in the NFL again? Probably not.

Well, it's week 13 and in all of my fantasy leagues, that means it's the last week of the regular season. If you're in a standard Yahoo! league, then odds are that you're in the same situation. I will try to provide some suggestions on players that could help your team get that final push into the playoffs, but like I've emphasized before, if you're relying on waiver-wire pickups to carry you through the playoffs, you're most likely in big trouble.

Wow. That's all I can say after last night's game, where the A.J. Feeley-led Eagles nearly accomplished the upset of the century. I have to give props to the Andy Reid and the Eagles defense, as they were able to make Tom Brady look nearly human with all their blitzing schemes and by somehow managing to contain Randy Moss. In the end however, it was not to be. Let's just hope Baltimore doesn't give the Patriots that much trouble next weekend though...I prefer the blowouts I think. Anyways, here are some of the fantasy standouts from the past few days (I've included the Turkey Day games as well)...

Brandon's take: Wow, when you're blog starts getting asked for fantasy advice from famous dead presidents, you know you've made it! However, we're pretty sure we know this reader...and although he might grow a shaggy beard from time to time, he's no Honest Abe. Anyways, with regards to the question, I'm going to recommend that you stay with the hot hand...which is Kurt Warner at this point. All three defenses that those quarterbacks are playing are middle of the road pass defenses, but I think Warner is playing at the highest level right now. Kitna is coming off a 3 INT performance against the Giants and I just don't have enough faith in Garrard as a passer yet. As long as Warner is healthy, I'd keep him in there through the playoffs, as the rest of his schedule is fairly weak (SF, CLE, SEA, NOR, ATL, STL) and he's got the dynamic receiving duo in Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin.
