Tue, 02 Dec 2008 18:23:06 -0500 One quick injury note before I highlight some good starts/sits for Week 13: Texans QB Matt Schaub (knee) is making progress and close to returning after missing the past three games. But keep him on the fantasy bench. Houston faces Jacksonville on Monday night, when it'll be too late to make a switch if Schaub ends up not playing. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/week-13-preview Sun, 30 Nov 2008 00:01:04 -0500 First off, hope everyone enjoyed a happy Thanksgiving. Those with LenDale White, Chris Johnson and Brian Westbrook in their starting lineups certainly did.  http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/week-13-injury-report Sat, 29 Nov 2008 01:09:08 -0500 First, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Jay Cutler, Peyton Manning and Marshawn Lynch are gone in the Fantasy Chatter contest. I'll take picks till 1 p.m. Sunday. The rules are in Saturday's Virginian-Pilot and my Tuesday blog entry. One note: I'll be away for Thanksgiving the beginning of next week, so the contest winner will get to write something for Week 14, not next week. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/week-12-preview-0 Sat, 22 Nov 2008 23:03:39 -0500 The full injury report will appear in Sunday's Virginian-Pilot, but here are a few highlights: http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/week-12-injury-report Sat, 22 Nov 2008 01:40:57 -0500 First, a quick Thursday recap: With two straight solid games, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger is back to being a good start, at least against sub-par pass defenses. He has 0 INTs the past two games, and two straight 240-yard games. ... With Steelers RBs Willie Parker and Mewelde Moore splitting carries, neither is a great fantasy start down the stretch. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/previewing-week-12 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 00:44:28 -0500 First, Marshawn Lynch and Peyton Manning are gone in the Fantasy Chatter contest. I'll take entries till 1 p.m. Sunday, even with the Thursday night game. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/week-12-preview Thu, 20 Nov 2008 01:52:04 -0500 First, Peyton Manning is taken in the Week 12 Fantasy Chatter contest. The details on how to enter are in my Tuesday blog. We've had two straight 400-yard passers on Thursday night, though I'll bet good money that stretch ends this week. Though with Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger throwing for 300 yards last week and facing the woeful Bengals this week, who knows. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/finishing-week-11-0 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 00:36:08 -0500 The winner is Erik Kashnikow from Fairfax, who emailed in his pick of Chiefs QB Tyler Thigpen. So look for Erik's thoughts on Week 12 in the next edition of the Fantasy Chatter, which is slated to run in Saturday's Virginian-Pilot. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/week-11-fantasy-chatter-winner Tue, 18 Nov 2008 17:30:45 -0500 First, Kurt Warner, Drew Brees, Tyler Thigpen and Ricky Williams are gone in the Fantasy Chatter contest. I'll take picks till 1 p.m. Sunday. The rules are in my column in Saturday's Virginian-Pilot and my Tuesday blog entry. No injury updates, and the full injury report appears in Sunday's Pilot, so I'll get right to the game previews: http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/finishing-week-11 Sat, 15 Nov 2008 23:57:33 -0500 The biggest injury news from Friday is that Saints RB Reggie Bush (knee) and Rams RB Steven Jackson (thigh) both won't play Sunday. That's good news for Saints RB Deuce McAllister, who faces the worst run defense in the league. In other news: - Bears QB Kyle Orton (ankle) is probable, but not a good start because Green Bay's run defense is much worse than its pass defense.  http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/week-11-injury-report Sat, 15 Nov 2008 01:29:22 -0500
