As always… updated daily or better as news breaks My not-100%-obvious Week 12 studs: QB: Mark Sanchez – With banged up running backs and a matchup vs a Buffalo team that has recently forgot how to stop anyone, Sanchez will be a good start. Sidebar: Vince Young, should he start, has a great matchup as well and gets rushing points. RB: Jonathan Stewart – He hasn’t been stellar this year but has a great matchup and is getting the majority [...]

Each week the staff ranks their top 32 teams. Here’s how the teams placed this week:

The bye weeks are finally over! Most leagues start their playoffs in week 14, so the next 3 weeks is the time to make that final playoff push. Bye weeks or no bye weeks, good owners always scour the waiver wire trying to improve their teams. You might need a player for only 1 week, and you could end up getting a player that helps you for the rest of the year. Here are six players that could help your [...]

The Lions sputtered out of the gate again this week, but were able to turn it around for the win. The Bills are continuing their slump, having lost three straight. The Cowboys have managed to tie the Giants for first place in the NFC East. The Raiders are alone atop the AFC West. The 49ers have nine wins now, the same number as the rest of division combined.     QB’s It didn’t look good in the stats column, but [...]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Over this Holiday weekend before gorging on obscene amounts of food or blowing all your savings hanging out with the rudest bunch of strangers you’ve ever met before, take time out to give thanks to the one who got you here. By here I mean scouring the wire one last time before setting your lineup and enjoying some Turducken! Give thanks to the guy who helped you see the way and hopes to help prepare you for what [...]

I love dynasty leagues. I love scouring for the next gem, recognizing that a certain player is starting his breakout or that a player is simply being undervalued or overlooked. For the 2011 version of Going Deep, now named Dynasty Stash,  I am hopeful that we can cover a little bit of all these categories. The player that you can pluck off another owners roster is just as valuable as the player you find on the waiver wire. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Matt [...]

The last bye week is upon us. Most leagues start their playoffs in week 14, so the next 3 weeks is the time to make that final playoff push. It’s also time to set your lineups for week 11. Here we have my Top 36 Linebackers, Defensive Backs, and Defensive Linemen for week 11. Good luck! Thursday Night Game Alert: Make sure to get your Jets & Broncos in your lineup before tonight’s game! Week 11 Byes: Texans, Colts, Saints, [...]

I can’t stand listening to ESPN. I know that the sports world generally isn’t the best place to hear reasoned arguments. Yet, whenever I listen to “analysis” on ESPN it comes down this: good decisions work out, bad decisions don’t. There is no thought to process, no thought to lessons learned from failure (which is often where most lessons are learned). This may not be local to ESPN, but it is often where I happen to hear it the most. [...]

As always… updated daily or better as news breaks   My not-100%-obvious Week 11 studs: QB: Jay Cutler, Ryan Fitzpatrick – Cutler has been doing well lately and the match with SD might turn high scoring. Fitzpatrick should have a field day against the Miami secondary although Fred Jackson will still get his. Both games have Vegas giving a over/under line of 45 points. RB: Chris Johnson, Lance Ball – With a severly injured Denver backfield and a very run [...]
