The Morning Huddle – Super Bowl Edition

Feb 6th, 2010 | By David Ortega | Category: Football, Top Story

Despite the roller-coaster ride of the 2009 season we should not be surprised to find what were arguably the two best teams in the NFL this past season. Both the Saints and Colts started out on a record setting pace with each team winning their first 13 games this season (the Colts won their first [...]

Looking under the hood of Week 16
Ego’s aside, the Vikings need to let Favre lead…
The proof is definitely in the pudding and if you cared to take a taste last night watching Monday night football, you would come to the same conclusion. The Vikings need to cater the offense around what Favre can do. In [...]



Looking Under the Hood at Week 15

Dec 27th, 2009 | By David Ortega | Category: Fantasy Football

Do what you do best!….
Even though they may not have anything left to play for in the regular season, it may make great sense for Philip Rivers and the Chargers to keep doing what they do best. Over the past two and a half months only the Colts have been as good and no one’s [...]

As we watched the games being played on Sunday in Week 15, it was not hard to note of couple of obvious facts that fantasy owners will be thinking about when looking ahead to 2010.
Looking at 2010
Can’t-Misses…

Looking under the hood of Week 13
Brady and Moss not N’sync (yet)….
Even though Tom Brady has passed for more than 300 yards in two of his last four games, over that stretch Moss has not caught more than five passes for more than 67 yards in any one of those games. Even though the two [...]

Morning Huddle

Vikings quarterback still fantasy stud…. When the season started quarterback Brett Favre was not on anyone’s radar as a number one fantasy quarterback. At 40 years of age, Favre’s better days looked to be in the rear view mirror or so we thought. In Favre’s last four starts he is averaging 300-yards passing per [...]

What to Make of Week 8

Nov 7th, 2009 | By David Ortega | Category: Fantasy Football

Chambers out, but not closed….
The Chargers released the veteran receiver, but it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Though Chambers is a talented receiver in his own right, Rivers likes to go vertical and loves to throw to his gaint receivers. With Chambers standing at all, but 5’11” he was dwarfed by his receiving [...]
