Ask the Geeks - Week 4

Atg ButtonWell it's week four and many of you are probably feeling the effect of poor planning when you took three starters that all had the same bye week (don't worry...you're not alone!) Anyways, hopefully we can offer you some advice to get you past the bye week blues and maintain your first place spot in the standings...

Studs and Duds - Week 2: Ryan Grant ready to roll!

After all the dust has settled and the injury count has been tallied (bye bye Brady, Burleson, Alex Smith and for a little while, Colston), it's time to recount my predictions for the previous weekend and give you a few more for week two of the season. According to my slightly-biased count, I finished last week 13-7-6, which isn't all that bad I guess. Some of my better picks included Thomas Jones, who re-assumed his spot in fantasy football relevance with a strong showing against the Dolphins and Chris Perry, who did very little with his first chance to shine as the Bengals new starting running back, as expected. On the flip-side, I did miss a few picks, including Ricky Williams, who returned to his role as a deadbeat (in fantasy production that is) against the Jets, while Brandon "The Bruiser" Jacobs taught me (and LaRon Landry) never to doubt him again. Anyways, it's time for your week two studs and duds, so hopefully I can provide a little insight that can help your team this upcoming weekend...

Random thoughts on tonight's preseason games

  • Just turned on the Carolina vs Philadelphia game...after barely playing at all last week, Delhomme is not having the type of game (2/4 for 18 yards) so far that makes me want to run out and draft him as my starting quarterback. Although he's only had 4 attempts, the offense in general looks uninspired and like something that I want to stay away from going into my upcoming drafts.
  • Eagles wide receiver Reggie Brown left the game with some kind of hamstring injury, but no news on the severity yet. Rookie DeSean Jackson is now lined up opposite Kevin Curtis, so we should get a good look at him. He already has one catch for 11 yards.
  • The Eagles / Panthers game was looking like a real barn burner (note: sarcasm)...and now it's delayed due to bad weather...awesome!
  • Looking at the stats to the Bills / Steelers game, seems as if that should be the game that's on TV, as there seems to be a little more action (Buffalo is leading 14-7 at half).

More notes from the preseason

As the Olympics started with bang last night (and as I write this, we already lead in the medal count!), the NFL preseason kept rolling with a few more games. Here are a few of the notable stats from those exhibitions:

Sunday Wrap-up: Patriots, Moss and Brady inch closer to the records

With their victory over the Dolphins yesterday, the Patriots are now one win from reaching that undefeated mark. One game!!! Tom Brady is two touchdowns from breaking Peyton Manning's single season record of 49, while Randy Moss is two scores from breaking Jerry Rice's single season record of 22 grabs. If all of these records are broken in that last game, that will be pretty badass, I must say.
