Jerricho Cotchery is moving up my list of fantasy wide receivers in the draft. He's had 82 catches in each of the last two years in an unstable quarterback situation. Things are different now that Brett Favre is the QB. Favre is getting more comfortable in the Jets offense and Cotchery should be his #1 target. The only thing Cotchery has been missing in his game is more touchdowns, he only had ...

As the preseason continues to unfold, certain players have moved down my list for various reasons. Here are some of the players I am currently down on. Chad Johnson - Injured shoulder and a bad attitude may prevent Chad from getting his numbers this year. Plus, the Bengals just re-signed Chris Henry. Ronnie Brown - May be traded and could lose time to Ricky Williams. Marc Bulger - St. Louis ...

The Rams have struggled lately with their offensive line, and losing two starters this early in the season ...

In case you haven't heard, Brett Favre was traded to the New York Jets today for a conditional fourth round draft pick. In my opinion, this immediately elevates the fantasy value of the New York Jets offense. The Jets suffered last year under the leadership of Chad Pennington.
