Week 1: Start with the Key Match-ups
Walter Collazo, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Sep 10, 2010 |
|
|
| It’s the Brew Crew Corner season kickoff edition. This Thursday kicks off the season with the New Orleans Saints hosting the Minnesota Vikings. The defending champions are 6-0 in Thursday season openers. The Saints will have a tough time with the Vikings, but I think they will keep the streak alive. |

Against the Odds (2010) - Week 1
Vinnie, Caribbean Affiliate
Sep 10, 2010 |
|
|
| Plenty of variety to begin the 2010 season with, as Vinnie hitches his wagon to some teams playing at home and some teams on the road. Some favorites, some underdogs. About the only theme within Vinnie’s Week 1 picks is AFC North teams. Oh, and you might even find some surprise picks, too. |

Games to Watch - Week 1
Chris Dolfi and Tom Braun, Fantasy Football Staff Writers
Sep 9, 2010 |
|
|
| It’s week 1 of the 2010 NFL season and people are starved for some great football more than they are for a drumstick on Thanksgiving. Not to worry – Chris and Tom return for opening week with the three games that will satisfy your football craving, and even manage to talk about Lost, bad pick-up lines, the blessings of second chances, and the drama of reality TV – all in this week’s Games to Watch! |

The Prognosticator - Week 1
Tony Holm, The Prognosticator
Sep 9, 2010 |
|
|
If there weren't surprises each week in the NFL, they wouldn't have to play the games. Each and every week there's a head scratcher, one that doesn't seem to make sense. The Redskins beating the Cowboys to me is a shocker and that's exactly what will happen, keep 911 on speed dial Cowboys fans. The Cowboys will do well in the air, they'll do well on the ground, heck, their offense will rumble but the Redskins defense will have their mini-moments of glory too. What some folks may not realize is that the Redskins secondary is good, really good. New coordinator Jim Haslett has moved guys around and put them in positions to succeed. Where the Redskins win this is with some untimely interceptions from Tony Romo that cause a shift to the odds that the Redskins walk away victorious. Donovan McNabb will play well and will be the primary difference maker for the Redskins on Sunday night. Start your Cowboys, they'll play well, and don't be afraid of Donovan McNabb as he'll also impress early. It's his longevity and time coming back from those little scrapes here and there that will ultimately be his undoing in 2010, but until then, play him till the proverbial wheels fly off.

Is 2010 The "Age Of Arian" For Fantasy Owners?
Matt Wilson, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Sep 18, 2010 |
|
|
| Houston Texans running back Arian Foster propelled himself into the fantasy football stratosphere like a shooting star in Week 1, streaking through the Indianapolis Colts shell-shocked defense for a Texans franchise-record 231 rushing yards and three scores on 33 carries, which was also the second-best opening day rushing performance in NFL history. What is the back story on this potential NFL and fantasy football late bloomer? Matt Wilson gives us the Foster 411 in the 2010 debut edition of “In The Spotlight.” |

Against the Odds (2010) - Week 2
Vinnie, Caribbean Affiliate
Sep 17, 2010 |
|
|
| Vinnie was correct on his two over-under picks, in Week 1, and thanks to the Jaguars nailed his three-star pick’em. His picks in Week 2 include (but are not limited to) a rare four-star, another three-star and another over-under. |

Games to Watch - Week 2
Chris Dolfi and Tom Braun, Fantasy Football Staff Writers
Sep 17, 2010 |
|
|
| Week 2 in the NFL brings us a tough divisional rivalry matchup, a battle of brothers and a matchup of two teams who surprised the league with their Week 1 victories. Get the low-down on which games you just can’t miss this week – all the while the guys mix in some cocktail recipes, talk Madden football and picking substance over flash in women and football teams. |

The Prognosticator - Week 2
Tony Holm, The Prognosticator
Sep 17, 2010 |
|
|
I'm going to get a bit nutty here, but what's a Progno without a slightly nutty finish and a hint of wild berries? The Saints are a great team. Check. The Saints are playing on Monday Night, a place they like to play. Check. The Saints have Drew Brees and the 49'ers have, well, Alex Smith. Check. The Saints are defending SuperBowl Champs! Who Dat?!? Check. And that's why the 49'ers will win this game, primarily because they're not expected to.

Week 2: Don't overreact to Week 1
Walter Collazo, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Sep 16, 2010 |
|
|
| Welcome to Week 2 of the Brew Crew Corner. I don’t think I blinked once this weekend as I watched as many games as I could possible fit in. My first fantasy week was a mix of domination and two losses due to players underperforming. I mainly missed out on a win due to the struggles of Ray Rice and DeSean Jackson. I know those players are going to bounceback, but I’m worried about Jackson's production with Kolb out due to injury. |

Megatron: "Revenge of the Fallen"
Patrick White, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Sep 16, 2010 |
|
|
| When he’s not out battling Optimus Prime for control of the universe, Megatron finds joy in destroying mere mortals on the gridiron. Calvin Johnson is the perfect dyNASTY case in which we can further dissect recent developments and the effect on his immediate and future value. Does the injury to Matthew Stafford impact either Johnson’s present or future in such dramatic fashion that his value has bottomed out? |

Surviving Week 2 Pools

Week 2 offers more options than Week 1, but expect a wild weekend. This is notoriously known as an unpredictable week as teams you expect to be 2-0 or not to drop to 0-2 may shock you. For example, the Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys or Indianapolis Colts can’t be 0-2, right? What surprise teams might be 2-0? Remember the Green Bay Packers last season who no way could lose at home to Cincinnati? Check out my Week 2 game-by-game analysis … |

Deeper & Down
James Elvins, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Sep 16, 2010 |
|
|
| Week 1 is in the books … and it might not have been perfect. You could have been hit by anyone of a number of injuries (Ryan Grant) or bad games that happened (Tony Romo, Matt Schaub et al) ... we’re looking to get back into the regular season groove. It’s 2010, it’s back and it’s players owned in less than 10 percent of leagues to take you through into Week 2. You know the drill - it’s Deeper & Down. |

No Fear ... It’s Only Week 2
Marc Griffis, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Sep 16, 2010 |
|
|
| Do not panic if you were not victorious in Week 1. The season is very young and your team may not be as weak as it appears. Or, you still may be celebrating as Arian Foster carried your team to victory. Regardless of your record, it is time to prep for Week 2. I have chosen one player from each offensive position and a defense in this week’s "Dive.” These players may be in your starting lineup or sitting on your bench hoping to play this week. It is your decision who to start, but always be prepared and beware of the factors affecting each matchup. |

Week 1. The most important week of the year! ... Well not really, but thousands of fantasy managers sure feel like it is. Don’t overreact. Much can be learned from the eyeball stats as opposed to just the stats. I am hear to tell you what you really needed to know moving forward in the 2010 fantasy season.

And seeing that Roger Goodelll isn’t going to do anything to cool down the heat, I’m suggesting a call on TV’s most famous spy. Read on to see how the rule should’ve been interpreted and see what’s being left out. Plus, fantasy owners may have a new Mike Alstott to keep an eye on. |

Against the Odds (2010) - Week 3
Vinnie, Caribbean Affiliate
Sep 24, 2010 |
|
|
| Helped in a big way by his successful four-star backing of Atlanta, Vinnie did well last week. His Week 2 picks weren’t without reproach, however, as picking Carolina at home did not turn out well at all. One reason Vinnie is turning against the Panthers in his Week 3 picks, perhaps. |

The Prognosticator - Week 3
Tony Holm, The Prognosticator
Sep 24, 2010 |
|
|
And the Darren McFadden show rolls on. Bruce Gradkowski will get the start at QB for the Raiders and don't be too quick to grab the Cardinals Defense as a sneaky play as Gradkowski will play fairly well. The Raiders can turn their team into a dominant running team with the talent they have and so far, Darren McFadden has been everything we said he could be. This will be a low scoring, pad-on-pad affair with both teams focusing on their ground games so that their QB's don't hurt them. Derek Anderson has the tools, but maybe not the head to be a top QB in the NFL, worry about Larry Fitzgerald's long term success in 2010. If you can package him up in a deal, do it, his value may never be higher. Once again, just imagine Larry Fitzgerald in a Colts uniform, the hair on the back of my neck just stood up.

Week 3: Quarterback Controversy
Walter Collazo, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Sep 24, 2010 |
|
|
| Welcome to Week 3 of the Brew Crew Corner. With just two weeks of football played, we've had a number of changes to starting quarterbacks. Some have been due to injuries while a few coaches have already hit the panic button and switched their starter. In either case you need to be prepared to make changes of your own, even if these players are your QB2. |

Investment Plan
Patrick White, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Sep 24, 2010 |
|
|
| After two weeks of play, we can begin to see what could just be fluke issues and what could be reoccurring problems. The stock on several valuable players has changed drastically – in some cases for the good, but so far most have been for the worse. The stock on some players is falling fast. Who is mostly likely going to continue to fall and who can still salvage stock quotes? |

Surviving Week 3
Nick Pagliuca, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Sep 23, 2010 |
|
|
| The Green Bay Packers handled the Buffalo Bills last week for us to advance. Sorry to those who took the Dallas Cowboys, who are in a world of trouble right now. My tempting pick to avoid last week was the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. They escaped San Francisco with a win, but it wasn’t easy. Beware of the road teams, especially on prime time against teams who relish those infrequent games in the spotlight. Check out my game-by-game analysis for Week 3 … |

Redemption
Marc Griffis, Fantasy Football Staff Writer

| Redemption has been a common theme in the NFL this season. Players including Michael Vick, LaDainian Tomlinson and Jay Cutler appear to have rejuvenated their formerly declining values. However, players and teams with high expectations including Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings and Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys have struggled.

The Diary of a Fantasy Virgin : Week 2
Tim Davoll, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Sep 21, 2010 |

| The shock of fantasy football is sometimes breathtaking. In Week 1, Tom Brady goes off. In Week 2 … well not so much. In Week 1, Pittsburgh has to lose without Ben Roethlisberger. They do not lose and after this week have the nerve to be 2-0. |

Has Darren McFadden Finally Arrived?
Matt Wilson, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Oct 2, 2010 |
|
|
| Following two very disappointing seasons, it looks like Oakland Raiders' running back Darren McFadden, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, is finally starting to flash the superstar talent that we all remember from his college playing days with the Arkansas Razorbacks. Can he keep it up? FantasySharks staff writer Matt Wilson puts McFadden “In The Spotlight” this week. |

Chris Dolfi and Tom Braun, Fantasy Football Staff Writers
Oct 2, 2010 |
|
|
| Week 4 in the NFL arrives with a full spate of divisional rivalries. The guys also manage to take aim at western shootouts,taxes, car accidents and your wife’s shopping habits, and manage to annoy PETA supporters everywhere with some ill-advised turns of phrase in discussing Michael Vick. It doesn’t get any better than this, unless you’re watching one of the Games to Watch. |

Week 4: Superstars Emerging
Walter Collazo, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Oct 1, 2010 |
|
|
| When we drafted players over the summer, we expected the superstars to lead the leagues we play in. But, players like Maurice Jones-Drew, Larry Fitzgerald, Randy Moss and Michael Turner are not even ranked in the top 50. There is still time for these players to turn things around, and if you can get these players cheap in a trade do so now because they will cost too much later on. |

Surviving Week 4
Nick Pagliuca, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Sep 30, 2010 |
|
|
| The New England Patriots got a scare from Buffalo, which wouldn’t go away in that game. However, they were able to survive and we can move on to next week. The byes begin as we have entered Week 4, which means there are fewer games and fewer teams to choose from. Check out my entire game-by-game analysis for the upcoming week … |

The Diary of a Fantasy Virgin : Week 3
Tim Davoll, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Sep 28, 2010 |
|
|
| The offense was one-sided. The offense was nonexistent. The scores were not going your way. I have found out that by Week 3 the scoring takes a tumble on one side and gets amped up on the other side. |
