Waiver Wire Gems - Week 8

QB Marc Bulger, St. Louis Rams
The Rams are alive! Two straight wins and St. Louis looks like a real team. That is great news for Marc Bulger, who now has two legit targets in Torry Holt and rookie Donnie Avery. Bulger still has time to raise his level of play to become a decent fantasy […]

Best Players in Fantasy Football Week 7

Coming into the 2008 fantasy football season, many considered Kyle Orton to be too bad to even put on a roster. Now, after another good performance in Week 7, Orton is starting to look like a legitimate fantasy football starter. In Week 7, he put up 283 passing yards and two […]

Most Underrated Fantasy Football Players 2008

QB Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers
After winning the Super Bowl as a rookie, Ben Roethlisberger has blossomed into a very capable fantasy football quarterback. He’s not going to wow you with pass attempts but he’s a very steady hand who is dependable on a week to week basis. If he’s your starter, he won’t beat you.

Best Fantasy Football Starters in Week 7

QB Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts
Last week, Peyton Manning finally looked like Peyton Manning. The Colts quarterback had by far his best game. His struggles earlier in the season could very well be chalked up to the multiple knee surgeries he had in the offseason. Expect Manning to continue his good play in Week 7.
RB Marion […]

Week 7 Fantasy Football Sleepers

QB Dan Orlovsky, Detroit Lions
So far this season, Dan Orlovsky hasn’t looked much like a capable fantasy football quarterback. But if you are really desperate for a QB in Week 7, consider Orlovsky a fantasy football sleeper for the week. He’s facing a bendable Houston Texans defense and with Jon Kitna out of the year, […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups 2008

QB Brad Johnson, Dallas Cowboys
If Tony Romo misses any action, Brad Johnson should be able to fill in decently enough. Against a poor defense, Johnson is a good start even at his old age due to all the offensive weapons at his disposal. However, be aware that Romo is necessarily out for Week 7 so […]

Fantasy Football Sleepers - Updated Week 7

QB Kyle Orton, Chicago Bears
Don’t look now but Kyle Orton is one of the hottest quarterbacks in the entire NFL. He started the season off slowly but he’s now put up four consecutive solid fantasy weeks. In Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons, he wasn’t fantastic but he did a good job fantasy wise. If […]
