Battle of the Texan Backs: Foster vs. Tate vs. Slaton

Every NFL season there are always a few open positions up for grabs and the 2010 season is certainly no different. As training camps get underway, there are several teams with position battles that will have a major impact on the landscape of fantasy football. One such team is the Houston Texans, with a running back situation that may not be as clear cut as many suspect. So, we thought we would take a closer look at this high-profile RB battle and the 3 worthy competitors involved. 

 Players: Arian Foster vs. Ben Tate vs. Steve Slaton

NFL Teams That Have Gone from Worst to First

 Competitive balance in the NFL is so strong that a team going from “worst-to-first” in its division is becoming an annual tradition.  For the seventh consecutive season – an NFL record – at least one team has finished in first place in its division the season after finishing in last place.  In fact, out of the 32 teams in NFL annals to go from “worst-to-first,” 15 of them have done so in the past 10 years (2000-09), including an NFL-record three such clubs in 2006.

NFL Players Who Changed Teams in 2010

 Whether through free agency or trades, this off-season contained big-name switches that may alter the landscape of the 2010 NFL season and your fantasy football draft.

The New York Jets made a slew of high-profile acquisitions this off-season, most notably bringing in former MVP, Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year and active touchdown leader LaDainian Tomlinson, who spent his first nine seasons in San Diego. 

“I came here to win a championship, and I believe this team has the ability to do it,” says Tomlinson, who led the Chargers to two AFC Championship Games. 

“I always wanted to live in New York and have the opportunity to play on that wonderful stage. Obviously, now I get that opportunity and I’m excited about it.”


Some notable players who changed teams this offseason:

PLAYER       NEW TEAM      2009 TEAM
WR Anquan Boldin    Baltimore    Arizona

DE Alex Brown      New Orleans      Chicago

T Jammal Brown      Washington      New Orleans

CB Sheldon Brown    Cleveland      Philadelphia

WR Antonio Bryant      Cincinnati      Tampa Bay

The Entire Backyard Football Playbook (PICS)

As you recall, there wasn't a lot of game film to study.

Favre Will (Probably) Set Amazing NFL Milestones in 2010

Let's cut through the BS, and agree that quarterback Brett Favre will be playing for Minnesota again this season. Of course, he'll still need to "think about it" while the rest of the team is pulling sweaty two-a-days at training camp. But eventually, he'll be out there this season ready to set some amazing NFL milestones.

Let's examine the possibilities:

• Favre needs three touchdown passes to become the first player in NFL history with 500 career touchdown passes. In 19 seasons, Favre is the all-time leader with 497 touchdown passes.

Peyton Manning Set to Break NFL Records in 2010

Colts quarterback Peyton Manning may be in for a record-breaking season in 2010. No, we're not saying he'll have another 2004 season (which helped us dominate our fantasy football league), but rather his amassed career stats have finally reached a tipping point and this year may send him over the edge. Let's examine the possibilities.


• Manning needs 4,000 passing yards to become the first player in NFL history with 11 4,000-yard seasons. Manning is the only quarterback to accomplish the feat in 10 seasons.

Every Retired Uniform Jersey Number in the NFL

Having your number retired in the NFL is a pretty big deal. In fact, only a small percentage of players to ever step on the field will see their team jersey number earn such an honor. (Well, unless you're Reggie White and have your number retired by two different teams.)

In fact, some teams seem to go crazy retiring numbers, while other teams are surprisingly lacking in retired numbers (we're looking at you, Dallas).

Below is the list of every retired uniform jersey number in the NFL's history.

AFC
Baltimore—None

Buffalo
Jim Kelly—12

Cincinnati
Bob Johnson—54

Cleveland
Otto Graham—14
Jim Brown—32
Ernie Davis—45
Don Fleming—46
Lou Groza—76

Denver
John Elway—7
Frank Tripucka—18
Floyd Little—44
