Big NFL Games in Week 4

BALTIMORE RAVENS (2-1) at PITTSBURGH STEELERS (3-0) (Sunday, CBS, 1 PM ET)                

The 3-0 Pittsburgh Steelers will host the 2-1 Baltimore Ravens in a clash between two of the top teams in the AFC North. 

Last week, the Steelers returned to Tampa Bay’s Raymond James Stadium for the first time since winning Super Bowl XLIII and defeated the Buccaneers 38-13.  Quarterback CHARLIE BATCH completed 70.6 percent of his passes (12 of 17) and tossed three touchdowns to lead the way. 

“He played like a veteran,” Steelers coach MIKE TOMLIN said about his quarterback after the game.  “He didn’t blink.  He’s been a consummate professional and team player, and good things usually happen for these kinds of people.”

Fantasy Football: Running Back Start/Sit Rankings (Week 2)

Here they are—Running Back Rankings for Week 2 (2010) to help you decide who to start and who to sit on your fantasy football team.

1. Steven Jackson (STL) – As expected, Chris Johnson ran wild on the Raiders defense in week 1. Unexpectedly, Johnson’s back up Javon Ringer did the same in limited action. That being the case, it is difficult to imagine the extremely porous Oakland run defense being able to contain a beast like Steven Jackson. He does have a slightly inflamed knee which is some cause for concern, but Jackson is expected to be just fine for Sunday. Injury: knee (Probable)

2. Adrian Peterson (MIN) – A week 2 match up against a solid Miami run defense is not overwhelmingly favorable, but you can bet that the Vikings will lean heavily on Peterson in this one and it’s highly unlikely that he gets held out of the end zone in consecutive weeks, especially at home.

3. Maurice Jones-Drew (JAC) – He wasn’t spectacular in week 1 posting mediocre numbers by his standards, but MJD still fared better than the San Diego run defense which was gashed by Kansas City to the tune of 135 rushing yards. Needless to say, we like Jones-Drew’s chances in week 2 and so does the law of averages.

4. Michael Turner (ATL) – While disappointing, it wasn’t a major shocker to see Turner shut down at Pittsburgh in week 1. The same can not be said if it happens against week 2 opponent Arizona. The Cardinals defense is no pushover, but they are far removed from Steeler status when it comes to stopping the run. Plus, this will be a home game for Turner against the road weary Cardinals and Turner’s track record of finding pay dirt in home games is nearly flawless.

5. Ray Rice (BAL) – In spite of his lackluster week 1 performance against a stout Jets defense, there is plenty to like about Rice heading into week 2. Mainly, the fact that he scored a TD in each of his 2 games against the Bengals in 2009 while averaging 139 total yards per contest. It’s also promising that New England’s Fred Taylor was able to average over 5 yards per carry against the Cincinnati defense in week 1.

Fantasy Football: Quarterback Start/Sit Rankings (Week 2)

Here they are—Quarterback Rankings for Week 2 (2010) to help you decide who to start and who to sit on your fantasy football team.


1. Peyton Manning (IND) – He obviously won’t match his monster totals from week 1, but there is still plenty to be had against a Giants secondary that allowed the 2nd most TD passes in the NFL last season. Manning is an obvious must start fantasy option for week 2.

2. Phillip Rivers (SD) – In spite of losing the game and poor weather conditions, Rivers put up very solid numbers in week 1 against Kansas City. He should fare even better at home in week 2 against a very suspect Jacksonville pass defense.

3. Aaron Rodgers (GB) – He wasn’t quite up to par in week 1 and he will be tested again in week 2 by an underrated Bills secondary, that many forget ranked 2nd in the NFL in pass defense last season. That said, Rodgers is always money at home and he has too many weapons for Buffalo to contend with.

4. Drew Brees (NO) – While efficient, Brees didn’t wow anyone with his week 1 performance and a week 2 match up on the road in San Francisco does present some challenges, but less than stellar numbers two weeks in a row just doesn’t seem likely for Brees. If Matt Hasselbeck can find pay dirt 3 times against the Niner defense with his raggedy supporting cast, Brees should light them up.

5. Tony Romo (DAL) – The Bears will present a formidable defense in week 2, but they do have some holes in their secondary and we expect Romo to exploit each and every one with his wide array of weapons. In addition, he should have Marc Colombo back on the O-line this week which will help tremendously. Romo makes for an outstanding week 2 fantasy option.

7 Statistical Highlights from Week 1

Week 1 of the NFL season has finally come and almost gone. What a great opening week. Let's look back at 7 feats of statistical awesomeness.

1. Houston running back ARIAN FOSTER rushed for a franchise-record 231 yards and three touchdowns in the Texans’ 34-24 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.  Foster is the first player in NFL history to rush for at least 200 yards and three touchdowns on Kickoff Weekend.  He also became the seventh player all-time to reach 200 rushing yards on Kickoff Weekend.

Fantasy Football: Quarterback Start/Sit Rankings (Week 1)

Here they are—Quarterback Rankings for Week 1 (2010) to help you decide who to start and who to sit on your fantasy football team.

1. Drew Brees (NO) – The last time Brees faced the Vikings in the Superdome he threw for close to 200 yards with 3 TDs and no interceptions. We can’t think of any reason why he won’t match or exceed those numbers this time against virtually the same defense.

2. Peyton Manning (IND) – He has owned the Texans over the years and now that this rivalry has actually become competitive, Manning stands to benefit even more with a shootout expected. It also doesn’t hurt that the Houston pass defense is mediocre at best.
