By Leighton Clark  *As I said last week, you really can’t predict what is going to happen in week one. Heading into last week, Deuce McAllister, Reggie Bush, Larry Johnson, Maurice Jones-Drew, Fred Taylor, and Brandon Jackson all had choice match ups against some of 2006’s most pathetic rush defenses. Well, guess what? Those six… Read more

By Leighton Clark  Week one of the 2007 NFL season is finally here. It’s a time that we, as football fans, look forward to all year long. It’s also a time when I, as a (bad) fantasy football writer, am perplexed. Because before anyone has stepped on the field, there really isn’t much for me… Read more

By Leighton Clark  1. LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego Last season, when everyone had some combination of Alexander/Johnson as their #1 RB, I had Tomlinson. Just saying. Because, really, what am I supposed to say? “He should have a solid season!” 2. Steven Jackson, St. Louis He says he wants to get 2,500 total yards this… Read more

Leighton Clark is under the weather this week.  So he has compiled the run-n-shoot version of the Start\Sit.  No explanations just information.  Here is this week’s list (oh and to our author, feel better — I hope those sniffles clear up real soon): START QB Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh START QB Tom Brady, New England START… Read more

by Leighton Clark  START QB Charlie Frye, Cleveland – With the way the Bengals’ defense is playing, even Chad Pennington could drop 125 yards against their sorry secondary. Expect even more from Frye, who has cut down on his mistakes in recent weeks and should be in for a solid fantasy day in a potential… Read more

By Leighton Clark  START QB Bruce Gradkowski, Tampa Bay – Gradkowski has been decent against some less than favorable matchups. He should have a solid game against a Redskins pass defense that gives up the most yardage per game in the NFL.
