At the 14 week mark, most FF regular seasons are now over and it is time to prepare for the playoffs if you made them. There were a lot of surprise performances this year at almost every position, so without delay here is the Lionbacker 2008 All-Pro FF team.QUARTERBACKDREW BREES - SaintsThe NFL's passing leader through week with 4,100 passing yards also is tied for the league lead with 26 TDs.

You won't find your A-listers or untouchables here but whether you are looking for an injury replacement, a better back-up than what you have or just a little more production than what you are getting, you've come to the right place.

OK, It's about 11:00pm on the west coast and the Oakland/Denver game is almost putting me to sleep so we're going to make this quick. Let's start with a couple of Week 1 Surprises:Tom Brady's injury. Sorry if you drafted him with your first FF pick - sucks to be you! (Stay tuned to the Lionbacker FF blogspot for a follow up article.) Now that Tom Terrific went down, can we FINALLY stop talking

Some big names are out there still not signed with a team. A few years ago this team might have struck fear into opponents in FF, now you just have to wonder. These players likely won't sign until after week one when their contracts will no longer be guaranteed for the season. So watch for injuries and any of these players to sign, could add some depth to your FF team but proceed with extreme

In part six of our series on the top ten at each position we move to the side of the ball that wins championships - DEFENSE. While that may be true in the NFL, it certainly is not true in FF. I rank defense slightly ahead of kickers in terms of importance which isn't saying much. I had teams like Chicago and Baltimore as my top ranked defenses a year ago and it was San Diego and Minnesota

In part five of our series on the top ten at each position we move to perhaps the least important of all spots - the kicker. Why are they not that important, well actually they can be important it is just that you should pick a kicker with one of your last draft picks. Why? Because the top kickers change pretty dramatically from year-to-year. Nate Kaeding was likely the top pick last year but

four of our series on the top ten at each position we move to the oft forgotten tight end spot. Where to draft a tight end is always interesting as you start choosing before taking your second or third wide receiver and a tight end. There are certainly a number of tight ends who can make the difference between winning and losing on any given week. This year there are seven really solid looking

In part three of our series on the top ten at each position we move to the prima donnas, I mean wide receiver spot. This is one of the hardest positions to predict from year-to-year, even at the top spots on your draft board. Randy Moss was washed up in Oakland but in New England he regained his dominance and the top spot as the most dangerous FF WR out there. Wideouts can make or break you

In part two of our series on the top ten at each position we move to the critical running back spot. I don't think RBs are critical as they once were with the emergence of high scoring QBs, but they are very important building blocks of any solid FF team. With running-back-by-committee the rage in the NFL and third-down specialty backs, the difference between the 10th best back and the 25th has

Let's start breaking down the positions before the draft starting with the QBs. There are three tiers among the top quarterbacks with a clear top three followed by another five in tier two. After that it gets very murky with little separating the number 8 QB from number 15. So if you don't get one of the top eight, you might as well focus on building the rest of your team up and grabbing a

Looking back at the 2007 season might cause many a veteran FF player to start changing his mind on how he manages his draft. Before last season it was pretty easy, take two stud running backs with your first two picks. But say you spent the second overall pick on Stephen Jackson (1,002 yards, 5 touchdowns) or the third overall pick on Larry Johnson (559 yards, 3 touchdowns), your stud performed

Well you might be disappointed this fantasy football season if you spent a high draft pick on the likes of Steven Jackson, Larry Johnson, Shaun Alexander, Frank Gore, or Laurence Maroney. You will also be disappointed if you have any number of runners now on the IR list including such young backs as Ronnie Brown and Carnell Williams. In most fantasy football seasons, stud running backs rule the

Seven weeks in the books, for most FF leagues that marks the midway point of the season. Most teams will find themselves in the 4-3 or 3-4 range hoping to make a run for the playoffs. Those with the following players are probably at or near the top of their league standings:QUARTERBACKTOM BRADY - PatroitsThe former University of Michigan product, who split time with Drew Henson back in the day,

After four weeks into the NFL season players are dropping like the Dolphins, Saints, and Rams. There loss can equal another players gain and an edge in the fantasy football season. At quarterback, there was Dante Culpepper getting five touchdowns for Oakland and rookie Trent Edwards playing solid in relief of JP Losman in Buffalo. I'm not buying into either one just yet with Culpepper throwing

Just two weeks into the NFL season and some fantasy footgball owners are starting to worry, and for good reason. Some of the highest picks in the draft are starting to look like busts. Teams can't afford to miss with the second or third overall picks, and some teams might have just done that.Steven Jackson, RB, RamsStats: 118 rushing yards, 39 receiving yards, 0 TD, 2 fumblesPanic Meter: 5 out

There is an old saying, "out with the old, in with the new." But in fantasy football, the saying might be "out with the old, out with the new." If you are over 30, nobody wants to touch you anymore. Ditto if you are a rookie. And don't forget, running backs rule fantasy football. Well throw all that out after week one in the NFL.First, don't look for a running back among the top five or so

With your fantasy football draft now in your rear view mirror you are feeling elated or a little apprehensive about the upcoming season. Two stud running backs, a top tier quarterback, three receivers to fear, and a defense/kicker combo sure to give you an edge over the competion each week. With nearly 200 players taken in the draft only scrap heaps remain to upgrade your team. While this is

August is one of the best times for fantasy football owners, you are still undefeated and you get to put together your own championship team. At least you have dreams of a championship. It is critically important not to make a mistake with your first round pick as you need a high production level to compete with the other top picks in the draft. Here is one fantasy football geek's ranking to

I figured I’d throw in who I feel should get the Rookie Of The Year awards…Granted, many players are deserving. Mark Anderson, Vince Young, Marques Colston, Maurice Jones-Drew, Devin Hester, DeMeco Ryans, Ernie Simms, Marcus McNeil, and so on are all deserving. A few however, stand out above the rest. Maurice Jones-Drew – He’s put up amazing stats, especially considering he shares carries.

It was a bad week for most receivers. It was a bad week for many running backs as well. When Ahman Green scored more fantasy points than Willis McGahee, Larry Johnson, Shaun Alexander, and Rudi Johnson, you know it’s a rough week. As much as pass catching backs rule fantasy football leagues, you need help from your WRs. At times like these when Roy Williams is getting owned by Al Harris,

Joey Harrington returned to Detroit to prove that he wasn’t the only problem. He torched Detroit 213 yards and 3 TDs. His one INT came on a bad decision that he should have let go out of bounds. Not only did Harrington torch the Lions, but he did so with Marty Booker, kudos to those of you who started Booker. I knew they had some chemistry, but you figured with the gambling style of play by

STARTTony Romo, QB, Dallas – Making the switch for Tony Romo was a great move. He’s got excellent pocket presence and he makes good decisions. He’s gotten both Terrell Owens and Jason Witten much more involved in the passing game. With Terry Glenn back and fully healthy, he’s proving he is a fitting in the scheme well.

Week 11 Comments and Complaints The Lions are definitely the most inconsistent team in the league. This offense, without Kevin Jones seems lost. Kevin Jones, by the way, will be out Week 12 and should be questionable for Week 13. Kitna needs around 5 seconds to throw the ball without any pressure, or else he makes horrific throws, forces balls into double and triple coverage, takes sacks

STARTQBTom Brady, New England (at Green Bay) – Brady’s last two starts have results in a combined 45/72 for 456 yards, 1 TD, and 4 INTs. Brady’s been making a lot of mistakes and forcing the ball, but he won’t against Green Bay’s 31st ranked pass defense.

JP Losman throwing the ball a measily 15 times? What is going on with that? Green Bay owned the TOP in this game. I'm just confused as to why he only attempted 15 tosses? Anthony Thomas was extremely impressive after Willis McGahee got injured. Hit up the free agent pool ASAP. Chicago throwing the ball 42 times? Obsurd!

Q: I need two from: Kevin Jones, Warrick Dunn, Cadillac Williams, and Deuce McAllister.A: Jones, Dunn, and Deuce should all have good days while Caddy struggles. Deuce should have a good day, but Caddy has been inconsistent all season and shouldn't be started over Jones or Dunn under any circumstance. Jones is a must start in any format. Pass catching backs own most FF leagues.I like Deuce a

Q: With Larry Fitzgerald out, I'm starting 2nd or 3rd string fantasy receivers. This week it's Braylon Edwards, Terry Glenn, and Lee Evans. Which WRs have good matchups? A: The word on Fitz is that he'll sit out this week AND next and then he has a bye. He'll come back week 10 for sure. Edwards has a tough matchup, but should get 10-12 looks against a great Denver defense. Denver is

Byes: Chicago, Baltimore, New Orleans, San Francisco, St. Louis, Tennessee StartChad Pennington, QB, New York Jets – NYJ/Detroit is going to be one heck of an offensive shootout. I can’t imagine both teams not scoring 30 each. Pennington is near-2002 form this season. Just imagine what he’d do if the Jets actually had a run

So we’re getting close to midseason and here’s a few players that have probably made you pretty angry thus far. Some of these players, namely Edge, Jordan, Moss, and Lewis have trade value…so don’t just cut them…TRADE them! At least try and find some takers. I’ve seen Edge being packaged in some big deals. Jake Plummer, QB, Denver – The Broncos are winning games, but Plummer is putting up

StartJP Losman, QB, Bills – If you’ve been watching any Lions games over the season, you’d know that Losman, though the model of inconsistency, is a must start this week. QBs have been able to torch the Lions pass defense for over 265 yards per game. Detroit’s allowed more passing TDs than any team in the league (11).Drew Bledsoe, QB, Cowboys – Bledsoe has had a few rough weeks, but this week,

Q: Which defense, Carolina vs Baltimore or New York Giants vs Atlanta?A: The Panthers should have the better week in terms of production. Though, this is a tough call. The Panthers just lost Dan Morgan for the year, so I've got to question their run D. However, the Ravens offense hasn't been much better than average. Peppers/Ogden will be a great match up, so I have less faith in Carolina's

Byes: Atlanta, Cincinnati, Seattle, Houston StartQBBrad Johnson, Vikings – Johnson hasn’t had a great season thus far. He’s throwing for nice yardage, but he’s failing to score through the air. Johnson is efficient, but not a world beater, but facing a Detroit secondary that has been one of the worst in the league (giving up 10 TDs and a 71% completion rating over the first

Q: Which WR? Mushin Muhammad, Antonio Bryant, Larry Fitzgerald, Braylon Edwards, or Terry Glenn?A: Larry Fitzgerald -- Bench. Leinart has to prove something before any WR he's throwing to gets the starting nod. In addition Kansas City has been great against the pass this season...less than 170 yards each game and ZERO TDs allowed through three games.Antonio Bryant -- Start. Oakland has a

Q: Chad Pennington or Charlie Frye (#1 QB has a bye)?A: Pennington is facing a pretty good Indy D who pretty much shut down Leftwich last week. Pennington should have a decent game (240 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT...Coles is questionable, but is definately startable matching up against Jason David and should have a big day since Bob Sanders is out), but Frye will be more efficient against a bad Oakland

StartMarc Bulger, QB, Rams – Bulger has a history of being accurate and he’ll stand in the pocket, taking shot after shot in order to deliver a ball. Detroit’s pass defense has been non-existent the past two games, along with their pass rush. Bulger could have a 400 yard day and 2 TDs against a terrible secondary.Charlie Frye, QB, Browns – Get him off the

StartMichael Vick, QB, Falcons – Vick should have a big day against a Saints defense that’s in rough shape. The Saints have given up a lot of yards in their two games and the Falcons will dominate them on the ground. Vick should have another 80+ yard rushing game in addition to 150 yards through the air. Vick should score twice and Dunn should score once.Mark Brunell, QB, Redskins – Brunell isn’t

Start:Philip Rivers, QB, SD – I’ve been a Rivers fan since before the draft. He’s got a quick release and can beat the blitz, along with the two best safety valves in the game; Gates and LT. Don’t expect Rivers to light up the FF stat line, but he’s efficient, doesn’t make mistakes and should have the consistency of Big Ben – 14/19 220 yards, 2 TDs.Drew Brees, QB, NO – Green Bay gave up good

Question -- Reggie Bush worth a high pick?Two words; absolutely not. Bush will do a little of everything. Bush is a player who will frustrate you. During draft time, I went out on a limb and said Bush wasn’t worthy of a top pick and he was overrated (I also got blasted for it). However, I feel that Bush’s preseason performances are comparative of what will come. Let’s check out the stats. Bush

The major, and minor, fantasy busts.QB: Steve McNairI’ve heard quite a few people say they want to take McNair earlier than the 6th round; that he’ll be a 3500 yard, 25 TD QB this year. I beg to differ. Yes, he does have some great weapons in Derrick Mason and Todd Heap (both of which are high on my fantasy charts). Throw in an underachieving Mark Clayton and a power run game with Lewis and

QB: Jake DelhommeJake Delhomme is arguably the most underrated Fantasy QB. Look at his stats over the past three years as the starting QB for the Panthers. 3219, 3886, and 3421 passing yards with 19, 29, and 24 passing TDs, respectively. In addition to the stellar Steve Smith, the cats picked up Keyshawn Johnson, who will definitely get his fair share of grabs this year. Delhomme also has a

Injuries are a part of football and can quickly derail a teams aspirations for the season. Same can be said for your fantasy football team. In some cases they can help as well - just ask anyone who picked up Larry Johnson last season when Priest Holmes went down. Players who are coming off injury are a risky proposition, but they can also come at a cheaper price when drafted in terms of value.

The best first-round value in this years fantasy football draft is the #3 pick. It is there that you get the leftover scraps, but that is sure to be either LaDainian Tomlinson, Shaun Alexander, or Larry Johnson - how is that for scraps? Once those three are off the board you are down to the second tier of running backs or you can look to go with Peyton Manning. Fantasy Football is a game of

In most leagues the fantasy football emphasis is on runnin backs, so it should come as no surprise that the top overall pick is one of a select number of STUD running backs. Last year the choice likely came down between two players, LaDainian Tomlinson of the Chargers and Shaun Alexander of the Seahawks. Both are coming off spectacular FF seasons, yet both have some question marks heading into

QUESTION:Ronnie, What has happened to Stephan Jackson? This guy was looking like a true stud, and looked to produce even better FF numbers when Mark Bulger went down with an injury (for the second time this year). I have Stephan Jackson on my FF team. Is this stud is turning into a dud?? He was until very recently a must start RB. Can you shed some light Stephan Jackson’s situation in St. Louis

QUESTION:Ronnie, Who do you think will have more FF success going down the stretch to the end of the season, Larry Johnson (KC) or Rudi Johnson (CIN)?

Question:Ronnie, with my QB McNabb going down, maybe for the rest of the season, what should my next step be? I have Carson Palmer to play weekly (which is a very good thing), but I could pick up Jake Plummer (or Chris Simms) to play if they have a great matchup. I am inclined to pick up Plummer now, because I feel if I wait, he won’t be available due to someone else in my league picking him up

The discussion will be, who is the better fantasy football player?Let's discuss the makeup of the players and their teammates.Better quarterback - Seattle (Matt Hasselbeck)Better O'line - SeattleBetter fullback - San Diego (L. Neal)It is my opinion that Ladainian Tomlinson is the better overall fantasy football player. He's better out of the backfield receiving. He's definitely a more elusive

Question:Ronnie, I was wondering which defense to play this weekend, Jacksonville or the NY Giants. Jacksonville has a great matchup against the Texans, but the NY Giants are matched up against the 49ers who are playing a warm body at QB. I’m still inclined to play Jacksonville against a horrible Texans team, but can’t ignore the defensive smackdown the Giants put on the Redskins (the Giants gave

Question:Ronnie, I was wondering about what the second half of the season may hold for a few players; Rudi Johnson (CIN), Terry Glenn (DAL), Mushin Muhommed (CHI) and Antonio Gates. Any thoughts?? ThanksResponse:First, let me answer the easy one. Antonio Gates has now taken over as the elite tight end in the league - sorry Tony!!!. He's a must start regardless of matchups.Mushin Muhammad was a

Question:Ronnie, I was wondering which RB to start this coming weekend, R. Johnson who has an easier match-up vs Green Bay or Stephan Jackson, who faces a much tougher D vs the Jags? I am inclined to start R. Johnson at this point because of the easier match-up but S. Jackson has been producing some good FF numbers as of late.

Question:Ronnie, I am thinking about dropping Antonio Bryant and picking up Jeremy Shockey. Eli Manning seems to be getting more comfortable with Shockey and the Giants throw the ball a lot more than the Browns. Can you shed any light on this for me.Response:To look at the total picture, we need to go directly to the source of who is at the qb. Trent Dilfer started the season pretty strong,

10 Fantasy Football players who have not disappointed this year.Still plugging along doing the best at what they do:1 Ladainian TomlinsonWhat an absolute stud. He continues to amaze us all and disappoints when he has a week that other backs would dream of having. He's the type of franchise back that you plug him in each and every week without the slightest thought of benching because of some

Question:Ronnie,Who do you think I should start at QB in week 6, Eli Manning @ Dallas or Mark Bulger @ Indy? I usually start Bulger, however I've started to look at Manning more and more. Between injury and people on their bye, my team is hurting this week, so which QB would you say is more of a "swing for the fences" type pick?Thanks,Phillip (CK Kid)Response:Normally this is a no-brainer but

Question:Ronnie,I was wondering if you could provide any insight as to the FF value of Ricky Williams as he is going to start playing this week for Miami. I have considered trying to pick him up and dropping Rudi Johnson (CIN) who has not produced a whole lot so far. I can definitely see them giving Ricky the ball instead of Ronnie Brown near the goal line.Response:Ronnie Brown has had a very

Question:Ronnie,Whats the deal with Carnell Williams this week? Will he play and more importantly will he play well against the Jets? If not I feel I have some strong options still available at RB, S. Jackson @ Sea or R. Johnson @ Jac (I dont really like that matchup). Who do you feel would be my best choice this week.Thanks,Tyler (DeadHeadLion)Response:Cadillac Williams wore a protective boot on

Fantasy Football Question:Ronnie,My fantasy defense (Carolina) has been underachieving so far this season. The top Defenses (going by their fantasy points to date) that are available in my league include:Denver (42pts)San Fran. (42 pts)NY Giants (40 pts)Jacksonville (37 pts)I would like to use just one roster spot on defense for as much of the season as possible, so how soon their bye week is

Question: From GregRonnie, I just realized that I have a scheduling conflict Week 7. I have S. Smith (CAR) and M. Clayton (TB) both have Week 7 as bye weeks. M. Clayton looks to be the #2 WR in TB. I am not dropping S. Smith. I was going to get Keyshawn Johnson or Terry Glenn to replace M. Clayton. Keyshawn has 3 TD’s, but Glenn has lots of yards and receptions.
