The scramble is on for fantasy football players that used their first round pick on Tom Brady. The NFL's Golden Boy is done for the year with a serious knee injury, and the reality and fantasy worlds of football are saying the same thing: "What in the heck just happened?"

Unless you have been living under a rock (provided said rock is not located in Wisconsin or New York) you know that the mighty Brett Favre was dealt to the New York Jets for a draft pick to be sorted out later. Favre watched a preseason game from the sidelines in Cleveland, then made his practice...

I’m finally shaking off the last bits of my post-draft meditative coma and it’s high time to get my football blog on. A lot has happened since the fantasy football season ended in January. Free agents signed some deals, some big trades were made and some even bigger trades...

So the Cowboys and Packers got a head start on me, but there are still another 15 games this weekend and there are some matchups that could help your team make that last playoff push, or help sew up that first-round bye.

We've got some ugly games on the slate for this week. It's hard to get too excited for games like Dolphins-Eagles, Raiders-Vikings, Rams-49ers or Cardinals-Bengals, but that's where fantasy football comes in. Let's take a look at why these otherwise horrible games matter on the fantasy front....

This was a rough weekend for people that listened to me for fantasy advice. The Advocate's intrepid education reporter Bj Lewis asked me if he should go with LaDainian Tomlinson or Adrian Peterson in his single-RB league. I told him that he couldn't go wrong either way, but that I though...

One could talk about BIg Ben Roethlisberger's five-TD night against the Ravens, or Drew Brees' 445 passing yards against Jacksonville, but those games whimper in the mighty shadow of Adrian Peterson.
Peterson ran for an NFL-record 296 yards against the Chargers, leading the Vikings to a huge...

I like the schedule this week. There are some good matchups and interesting games. It's one of those weeks where I wish 1) I had DirecTV 2) that I had DirecTicket for said DirecTV, or 3) it was more socially acceptable to take my kids to a bar so that I could follow most of these game. But alas,...

OK, so I'm a day late. Sue me. I'm sure all five of you that actually read this were doubled over with withdrawl pains yesterday. My combined mourning for the Texans and Monday was too soon to relive that stinkfest of a loss.

I groaned a little when I started going through this week's games to make my picks. There are a lot of bad teams playing each other, which makes for unpredictable scenarios. It's also going to make for some interesting fantasy matchups and any true fantasy fanatic knows it's all about the...

Fantasy owners were sent into a scramble over the last couple of days with the news that both Arizona QB Matt Leinart and Carolina QB Jake Delhomme were placed on injured reserve, ending their respective seasons. There were also some less impactful injuries like Tampa Bay RB Michael Pittman...
