No Comments »Judging Flacco, Sanchez and Tebow is a tricky situation
January 3rd, 2012 afcbeast 2011 was proclaimed “The Year of the Quarterback” by the alleged Worldwide Leader in Sports, but it might just as well be the year of the incredibly average quarterback. It seems that at no time in the history of the NFL have more high-profile quarterbacks been so decidedly middle-of-the-road and still achieving success. In an [...]

November 19th, 2011 afcbeast Matt Slauson’s touchdown the other night got me thinking. Should offensive linemen have a seat at the fantasy football table? It might be tough to have individual players taken, but they could be taken as a unit like defenses are. Maybe they could get so many points for allowing so many sacks in the same [...]

October 27th, 2011 afcbeast New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, in an interview with “Men’s Fitness” magazine, has become the latest NFC East player to grumble publicly about the way he’s used.

October 27th, 2011 afcbeast Asante Samuel thought he might get traded before last week’s trade deadline, and that made him sad. But the trade deadline came and went, and there he remained, a member of the Philadelphia Eagles. If you thought that meant that he was going to accept his position, play nice, and try to get along with [...]

October 16th, 2011 afcbeast I think we are past the point of being able to trust any Jets offensive player in the fantasy lineup. Even if everybody does show up, it is difficult to trust the offensive coaching staff to put the players in a position to have a big week. My main fantasy recommendation would be to play [...]

October 8th, 2011 afcbeast This is a week where pretty much any Jet on offense looks like a good fantasy play. The Patriots have the worst pass defense in the league. They are also giving up 4.8 yards per rushing attempt. For some context, Adrian Peterson has a 4.6 average. Runners have actually been more productive against this New [...]
