TE Julius Thomas To Have Surgery, Jaguars Without His Services 4-5 Weeks

by | Sep 3, 2015 | Jacksonville Jaguars, NEWS, Tight Ends | 0 comments

Bit of a bummer for all fantasy owners who were rolling the dice on whether or not TE Julius Thomas can stay healthy.  Reports are that he will be undergoing surgery on his injured finger and won’t be back for at least 4-5 weeks….the entire first month of the season.  In his place, the Jacksonville Jaguars will lean on TE’s Marcedes Lewis & Clay Harbor to fill the void. Lewis, veteran though he is, has had a good preseason.  Hopefully, all you Julius Thomas owners can wait the month out without too many losses.  But it does, once again, bring up the consistent concern as to how long it will be before he gets hurt again.

RB Frank Gore Has Bromance Level Of Adoration For Colts’ QB Andrew Luck

by | Sep 3, 2015 | Indianapolis Colts, NEWS, Quarterbacks, Running Backs | 0 comments

Confidence is running high in Indy.  RB Frank Gore, new to the Colts this year, is ready to put his quarterback on a god-like pedestal. The enthusiasm is great to see for fantasy owners as it suggests that there is a good chemistry coming together on this Colts team.  RB Frank Gore still has plenty in the tank and you can expect to see him ground and pound his way into the post-season with Luck.  And with the pass-attack-that-could-be (Johnson, Hilton), things are looking good in Indianapolis.

WR T.Y. Hilton, Indianapolis Colts Optimistic About Week 1 Return

by | Sep 3, 2015 | Indianapolis Colts, NEWS, Wide Receivers | 0 comments

Good news for fantasy owners of both T.Y. Hilton and Andrew Luck: it looks as though Hilton is progressing through his concussion protocol and is expected to be cleared for a Week 1 return.  Hilton is poised to put up huge fantasy numbers this year even if Andrew Luck also has a certain Andre Johnson in town.  Hilton is back in practice doing non-contact, but that’s a good sign. The offense could possibly explode in Indy this year, so feel good about it, people! Link to...

RB Arian Foster Could Be Back For The Texans By Week 2

by | Sep 3, 2015 | Houston Texans, NEWS, Running Backs | 0 comments

By some estimations, RB Arian Foster might be able to get back on the field as early as Week 2 of the regular season.  Contrary to previous estimations, Foster is rehabbing nicely and things look good for those fantasy owners who have already drafted him and were sweating how long it would be until he’s back. Encouraging news, but Alfred Blue’s stock is sure to go down considerably.  When Foster is healthy, he kills it.  The only problem is that he’s not often healthy. Link to...

WR Emmanuel Sanders Gets Back On The Field In Denver

by | Sep 3, 2015 | Denver Broncos, NEWS, Wide Receivers | 0 comments

Thank God!  Seriously, if you own Emmanuel, you play him every week regardless of matchup.  He’s a superstar and the Broncos have been very cautious with bringing him back in but he’s finally back to practice and is almost 100%.  Look for Sanders to have another great year: Peyton says he feels great, the Broncos went and got Evan Mathis to help protect him, C.J. Anderson is looking beastly  and Demaryius Thomas is ready to rock.  High-powered offense, for sure, regardless of how old Peyton is. Link to...

K Brandon McManus Will Handle The Kicking For The Broncos

by | Sep 3, 2015 | Denver Broncos, Kickers, NEWS | 0 comments

In a somewhat surprising move to a few people around the league, the Denver Broncos have cut Connor Barth and the kicking duties will fall squarely on the foot of Brandon McManus.  Considering the altitude of Denver and the tendency for kicks to sail further, McManus may be a considerable option for fantasy owners.  After all, he launched a 70-yarder in the preseason already.  Putting the foot back in football.  Kickers DO matter!
