Business Week has an interesting column on just how much value the world of fantasy sports brings to portals like Yahoo and sports sites like ESPN.

Byron Leftwich Scouting Report: Is Byron Leftwich Good?
In the wake of their most recent pedestrian loss, I’ve decided to pose a question that nobody north of the Florida-Georgia border seems to be asking: is Byron Leftwich good?
Leftwich came out of Marshall in 2003, a 1st round (7th overall) pick of the Jags. He’s huge at 6′5, 245, and he’s got either [...]
Samkon Gado Scouting Report
Let’s try to reach a concensus on the Packers’ new “star” RB: is he good, or is he…Samkon Gado?
Gado’s the latest in a line of late season NFL backups and 4th string RBs who come in for awful teams and manage to put up yards. Off the top of my head, I can name [...]
David Garrard Week 1: Vince Young, Braylon Edwards, And Charlie Frye
Here’s an interesting thought: David Garrard is Vince Young in 3 years. They’re both horses who play a similar game, but Garrard throws a better ball.
Garrard put up 142 total yards yesterday against the Browns. He was 11-20, 116 yds 2 TDs, 1 INT, plus 7 rushes for 26 yards. If Ernest Wilford bothers [...]
Kurt Warner Scouting Report: He’s What?
Yes, you heard it (or read it, or saw it, or disbelieved) here: Kurt Warner is…good. It took a while, and there were a few pungi stick death-traps along the road, but the 34 year-old QB from Northern Iowa is once again worth your fantasy consideration as an option post-2005.
Over the past 4 weeks [...]
David Garrard Re-Visited
A couple days ago I posted the following regarding David Garrard’s fantasy value for the rest of the season:
He’ll have good fantasy value over the remainder of the season, provided the Jags let him throw the ball. We already know they’re committed to running 20-30 times with Greg Jones and Fred Taylor. So expect 20-25 [...]
David Garrard Scouting Report
The Jaguars have been waiting for this broken ankle for the past 3 years. Ever since picking up David Garrard in the 4th round of the ‘02 draft, Jags brass have been telling the world how good this guy really is. 2002 was a lean draft year for QBs, with only David Carr and Joey [...]

Mewelde Moore Scouting Report: What About Mewelde?
Just when it looked like Michael Bennett had reclaimed the Vike’s starting gig at RB he comes up with a 19 rush/16 yard Meadowlands flop. Bennett had gone off for 106 yards on 18 carries in Week 9. But that was at home, indoors, and, most importantly, against Detroit.
Bennett has starter’s speed, but he lacks [...]
You’re Hard Up For Players When
The New York Jets today signed rookie free-agent Tight End Corey Lamkin to their practice squad.
Look on paper and seems as though there is nothing up with a signing like this. The guy is a 6-6, 240-pound former basketball player at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Here’s the one small caveat,
Lamkin hasn’t played organized football [...]
Packing It In
Watching Duce Staley “high-step” his way into the Lambeau endzone had to be the low point of my NFL Sunday. The Packers have always been a sentimental favourite of mine and that TD was just the exclamation point on a horrific season. By the way, it’s only Week 9. There are still 7 more Sundays [...]

Jamal Lewis Scouting Report: Is Jamal Lewis Finished?
Jamal Lewis is only 26 years old. It shouldn’t be unravelling so quickly for the former 1st round (5th overall) pick. But times are tough in Baltimore, and offense is about as hard to find as an Anthony Wright higlight. What is going on with Jamal Lewis?
In 2003 Lewis rushed for 2,066 yards, posting a [...]
Reggie Williams Scouting Report
Top 10 receivers are almost impossible to lay your hands on at this point in the season. With so many big name running backs having off years you’re probably going to get the short-end of the deal in a RB-WR trade. So we may as well look for mediocre options on the FA wire or [...]

Draft Last And Lose
Winning an NFL pool with a late pick in a snake draft has become almost impossible. I’d say it all hinges on the depth of your league. If you’re in a 14-teamer and you’ve got the 13th or 14th pick then you may as well say goodbye to your season. While you’re targeting Clinton Portis [...]

Ben Troupe Scouting Report: The Next Tony Gonzalez
Tight end used to be the toughest position in Fantasy Football to fill. With the emergence of Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates, Alge Crumpler, Jeremy Shockey and other pass catchers that’s not really the case anymore. Big guys with soft hands are taking the field every Sunday for almost every team in the league. And TEs [...]

Kevin Curtis: Your New Brandon Stokley
Kevin Curtis is 5′10″. He weighs 186 pounds. He’s 27. He’s a devout Mormon. And he’s the Rams’ new Ricky Proehl.
Kevin’s caught 28 passes this year for 362 yards. That’s an 12.9 yard average. It also projects to a 1000 yard season.
Tory Holt is the Rams downfield threat, and Isaac Bruce is going [...]
Holcomb To Start For Bills
Believe me, this is a temporary change. Kelly Holcomb, the 32 year old vet, with one good game under his belt is going to take the field for the Bills this weekend. I used to think he was an underrated QB, but at 32 you’ve got to wonder why no one else in the league [...]

Ahman Green: On The Way Down
Is Ahman Green missing Mike Wahle and Marco Rivera? Well, his numbers are certainly projecting to be down from last year’s mediocre season totals. There’s no way around it: Green looks like a guy who’s just not going to be able to make it happen behind that offensive line.
We’re seeing the same thing in Washington [...]
Brett Favre And The Baltimore Ravens
It’s a testament to the strength of Brett Favre’s character that he’s still playing for the Green Bay Packers. No, trades hardly ever happen in the NFL. But there are certain special circumstances that require athletes to shift from team-to-team every so often.
In almost every other professional sport you’ll hear the line “I just [...]
Charles Rogers Scouting Report
Let me get this out of the way early so I don’t confuse anyone: Joey Harrington is not a good quarterback. But is he as bad as last year’s 6-10 record? Yes.
Joey’s just never adjusted to the speed of the NFL game. His arm isn’t big enough, or accurate enough, to make the tough throws, [...]
My Left Foot: The NFL’s Best and Worst Kickers
A good kicker is worth at least 3 wins/season. Now a bad kicker on a good team can sometimes hide himself in wins or losses. If the Chiefs score 30 points and win by 10 no one cares whether Lawrence Tynes missed 2,3 or 5 FGs. But on a team like the Chicago Bears [...]

Fantasy Football Week 4: Ranking The Quarterbacks
Fantasy Football Week 4
Player Rankings
Quarterbacks
1: Peyton Manning: These 3 bad weeks mean he’s just going to be making up for lost time. People think the league’s figured out the Colts offense, but what exactly is there to figure? Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, and Brandon Stokley are good receivers?
2: Donovan McNabb: He’s guaranteed to throw [...]
