NFL Training Camp Notes
By Dalton Del Don Beanie Wells (right ankle) only participated in individual drills during Wednesday’s practice – After recently aggravating the injury, Wells’ status for Saturday’s preseason game is still up in the air, and he continues to miss valuable practice time. The rookie hasn’t participated in a full practice this summer, and he wasn’t…

By Dalton Del Don RISERS Ronnie Brown, RB, MIA – Considering four of his 10 touchdowns last season came in one game when Miami caught New England off guard using the Wildcat, Brown’s 2008 season wasn’t quite as good as it appeared on paper. The main problem was his use, as the team implemented a…

RotoScoop Invitational
Like last year, I plan on putting together a football league filled with readers of this here site. Hopefully it won’t be quite as drama filled as the baseball version has been but competitive nevertheless. Anyway, e-mail me at seven3d@aol.com or throw your hat in the ring under the comments section if you want in.…

NFL Training Camp Notes
By Dalton Del Don Ahmad Bradshaw totaled 52 yards with a touchdown on just seven touches versus the Panthers – And he looked highly impressive doing so. With Andre Brown (Achilles’ tendon) out for the season, Bradshaw’s status as the RB2 is even stronger, not that he wasn’t already locked into the position. Brandon Jacobs…

Yahoo Friends & Family Draft
I don’t plan on posting the results of every draft I do. After all, I’m in far too many. However, I thought it would be worth posting the results of the recent Yahoo Friends & Family draft, which is probably the biggest industry league I’m in. It’s the first time I’ve been invited to participate,…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don Neftali Feliz is sure to undergo some growing pains at some point, but the rookie has been about as impressive at it gets so far. Working as a reliever, Feliz has recorded a ridiculous 13:0 K:BB ratio over 6.2 innings. He’s allowed one whole baserunner during that time. It’s obviously been…

By Dalton Del Don Risers Knowshon Moreno, RB, DEN – After agreeing to a five-year contract last week, Moreno is no longer a holdout. While he’s predictably listed lower on the depth chart, Moreno has already been getting reps with the first team in practice and is scheduled to play in Denver’s preseason opener Friday.…

Wednesday Training Camp Notes
By Dalton Del Don Despite rumors to the contrary, Thomas Jones is not being shopped by the Jets – With what appears to be a strong defense, a rookie QB and a terrific offensive line, the Jets’ running game should be extremely productive this season. However, it also looks like a three-headed monster. As a…

Training Camp Notes
By Dalton Del Don Despite negative X-Rays on Steve Smith’s shoulder following an injury in Monday’s practice, he’s doubtful to play at all during the preseason – Smith was in considerable pain and is probably going to undergo an MRI. He hasn’t played a full 16-game schedule in any of his last three seasons, and…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don With a career-best 7.96 K/9 mark and a terrific 1.54 G/F ratio, Adam Wainwright has officially developed into a true ace. In fact, since May ended, he’s recorded an 8.5 K/9 mark, and he’s posted a 6.2:1 K:BB ratio after the All-Star break. And to think, all he cost was one…

By Dalton Del Don Risers Kevin Smith – Coming off a 450-carry season at UCF, Smith was able to manage 4.1 YPC on a team that finished 0-16 last season. Over the final eight games, he totaled 795 yards with four touchdowns – that’s a 1,590-yard, eight-TD pace over a full season. He’s clearly Detroit’s…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don After another dominant performance by Cliff Lee on Thursday, he easily needs to be viewed as a top-15, if not top-10, fantasy starter right now. The move to the NL cannot be understated. The switch in ballparks is an obvious concern, as Cleveland currently ranks as the toughest stadium to hit…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don I liked Kendry Morales as a sleeper entering the year, but I certainly didn’t expect him to be this good. Over his last nine games, he has six homers with 16 RBI. The .296 batting average is hardly a surprise, but the .575 slugging percentage is. At age 26, the switch-hitting…

Wednesday’s Training Camp Notes
By Dalton Del Don Carson Palmer demonstrated that he had his full arm strength back in practice on Wednesday, throwing a number of good deep balls – It appears Palmer’s recent absence at practice truly was due to an illness, and all reports on his elbow have been positive so far. It’s not ideal having…

Training Camp Notes
By Dalton Del Don Marshawn Lynch’s three-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy will be upheld – Lynch improved his skills as a receiver dramatically last season, but his 4.1 YPC mark for his career still leaves a lot to be desired. However, he got 4.8 YPC over the final seven games last…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don Over his last four starts, Chad Billingsley has a 9.45 ERA with a 1.989 WHIP. He threw 200.2 innings last season and doesn’t rank among the top-10 in Baseball Prospectus’ pitcher abuse points in 2009, so it’s not like he should be wearing down. It’s probably just a blip on the…

Brian Sabean Strikes Again
By Dalton Del Don When I first heard of my Giants trading Tim Alderson for Freddy Sanchez, my blood immediately started to boil. I let the expletives fly. I then decided to give up on the team until Brian Sabean is gone. I’ve since tried to talk myself into it, and while I’ll acknowledge the…
