Fantasy Football News and Rumors

Oooohhhh what is this about?

Insider trading..the claim is that someone who worked for one of the two, with knowledge about who everyone is playing, used that too win on the other one.

Also with this out there, there has been light shed on the whole thing, such as the way professionals (the guys who set the lines on games in Vegas..that kind of professionals) submit thousands of entries on those tourneys, all spit out from computers. One guy on ESPN Radio from Vegas said you might as well just be mailing the money straight to em, it'd be faster that way.

Now I'm even more set that I won't ever play

I kind of miss playing but I'm had to because of my financial situation. If I move back to Fl I would feel better about playing again. Maybe.

Didn't see this one posted yet....................

(RotoWire)NFL Network's Michael Fabiano relays that Bryant tweaked his knee in practice this past week and appears unlikely to play Monday night against the Chargers.

Analysis: Per the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Steelers have a roster exemption pertaining to Bryant until Monday afternoon, by which time, the team must decide whether or not to add Bryant (who was suspended for four games to start the season) to their 53-man roster in advance of Week 5.

Not the kind of news I wanted to hear, but it is what it is.

So a week ago it was like "OMG, he's the guy to get!" Now it's like "Meh. he had some appeal, but..."


Ronnie Hillman "tweaked" his hamstring in Sunday's win over the Raiders.


The injury apparently occurred early in the fourth quarter, so it doesn't really explain Hillman's dreadful day (seven carries for 21 yards). It's unclear if his status is in doubt for Sunday's game against the Browns. Hillman had some RB2 appeal in Week 5, but is back to low-end FLEX after flopping in Oakland.

Four QB (starters for every game) have thrown more INT than TD:

Colin Kaepernick
Kirk Cousins
Matthew Stafford
Peyton Manning

The Kansas City Chiefs will bring in running back Pierre Thomas for a work out, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

With superstar running back Jamaal Charles potentially lost for the season with a torn ACL, the Chiefs will need to add new options at the position.

The Chiefs also reportedly will work out running back Ben Tate on Tuesday.

Thomas spent his entire career with the New Orleans Saints before being released this offseason.

The running back has only rushed for over 700 yards once in his career, but is an experienced back who could provide value as part of a rotation, and as a receiving option out of the backfield.

Amazing how things turn out sometimes...


Cardinals Considering Extension For Chris Johnson
October 12th, 2015 at 2:30pm CST by Zach Links

Cardinals GM Steve Keim says that the one-year contract under which running back Chris Johnson is now playing is “something we will look at” in terms of a potential extension, as Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com writes. Johnson, who sat on the shelf for much of the offseason, has enjoyed a surprising career resurgence in 2015.


Johnson, 30, is tied for the second-most rushing yards in the league with 405 yards, behind Bears star Matt Forte who has 438. What makes CJ2K ‘s play even more impressive is the fact that he did not have a training camp. Immediately after signing with Arizona in August, Johnson suffered a hamstring injury which kept him on the sidelines. Some might point to Johnson’s play through five weeks of football as a fluke, but a more optimistic observer might argue that Johnson could continue to soar as he shakes off his summer rust. Of course, the Cardinals are expected to proceed with caution given that Johnson is at a very advanced age for running backs.


Last season for the Jets, Johnson ran for just 663 yards, the first time in his career he recorded fewer than 1,000 yards in a season. However, he averaged a respectable 4.3 yards per carry for Gang Green in 2014. Meanwhile, the ground game was a weak spot in Arizona last season, as the team’s leading rusher,Andre Ellington, totaled just 660 yards, averaging 3.3 yards per carry. No other Cardinals back had more than 250 rushing yards and Keim won’t let Johnson get away if he feels that he can be the bell cow for Arizona’s offense.

Petitition asking White House to revoke Lions' passports

The Detroit Lions fell to 0-5 on Sunday with their blowout loss to the Arizona Cardinals, and some of their fans are clearly fed up.

In a petition posted on the White House's petitioning website, Lions fans are seeking to have the team's passports revoked once they arrive in London for their Nov. 1 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The petition needs 100,000 signatures by Nov. 10 to receive a response from the White House. As of Monday afternoon, it has 16.

Lions wide receiver Golden Tate accused fans of "turning their back" on the team Sunday after they were booed off the field at the end of the first half.

"We expect them to be with us better next week," he said. "We need them."

Coach Pete Carroll said Marshawn Lynch (hamstring) is expected to return to practice this week.


Carroll wouldn't say anything about Lynch last week, simply noting he'd be a late-week decision. With Carroll committing to Lynch returning to practice at least by Thursday, it sounds like Beast Mode will be back in action Week 6 against the Panthers. Thomas Rawls would head back to the bench as the No. 2.

I dunno. .I think the way Rawls got it going. .let Beast mode eat his skittles on the bench, come in on 3 and short, sit back down. Trade him, let the kid have the job
