RotoScoop.com – The Scoop on Fantasy Sports

By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer A lot will change over the next eight months, but if I drafted today, these guys would be my top 10 fantasy players for next season. 1. LaDainian Tomlinson – This is a no-brainer. I would consider taking away the 2nd round pick of whoever is lucky enough to…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer If you took my advice last week, you could have made some coin on a 4-team teaser with 3-1 odds. That said, I’m not as confident with this week’s slate, but I’m going with the same strategy nevertheless. As far as moneylines go, taking the Colts, Eagles and/or…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer 3. LaDainian Tomlinson It’s impossible to argue with LT’s numbers: he broke the NFL record with 31 TDs, got 5.2 YPC, totaled 2,323 yards and carried countless fantasy teams to titles. Still, he simply wasn’t as important to his team as two other quarterbacks were. Consider Michael Turner,…

By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer A few random thoughts from the games on Saturday in no particular order, followed by my own year-end picks. Colts – Chiefs Wow. As the owner of Trent Green, Larry Johnson and Tony Gonzalez (and no Colts) on my fantasy playoff team, this was not a fun game to…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Chris Chambers just finished possibly the worst season a wide receiver has ever had in the history of the NFL. Chambers was targeted 154 times this year, the fourth most in the league. He turned all of those looks into just 59 catches, a historically low 38.3 percent…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Kansas City (+7) at Indianapolis Comments: On paper, the Chiefs’ run-heavy offense matches up perfectly with the Colts’ league-worst rush defense. If Larry Johnson doesn’t receive 30-35 carries, it would be a mild upset. Indy was the only team in the NFL to allow a 100-yard rusher in…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer While a more comprehensive NFL Playoff Preview is soon to follow, for now, I wanted to go over betting possibilities for the Wild Card weekend. No straight up bets truly stand out; the Patriots seem to be giving an awful lot of points to a team that won…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer The regular season just ended, and I’m already suffering from withdrawals. That’s why I suggest you get six people together and extend fantasy football into the NFL’s postseason. 1 QB, 2 RB, 2WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF is the easy, simplest format, but 2 QB, 2…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Over the last eight weeks, the Oakland Raiders averaged 3.0 points per second half. And now, they elect to bring back Art Shell? At least Adam Schefter looks bad, right Al? Remember this next year, Kurt Warner prefers Anquan Boldin, and Matt Leinart prefers Larry Fitzgerald. Tony Romo’s…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Editor’s Note: The following is written for RotoWire’s weekly “game capsules;” I cover the NFC home games. New York Giants (-2.5) at Washington, Saturday 8 p.m. Comments: No matter how hard they try not to, the Giants still remain alive in the playoff picture. New York has lost…

By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer I should probably learn by now that teasers aren’t the way to go late in this crazy season of upsets, but I still like teasing Cincinnati (-6 at home against Pittsburgh) and Indianapolis (-9 at home against Miami). The better bet, however, may be to go with some underdog…

Arguing who should and shouldn’t win awards is often futile and pointless, but hearing ESPN and other media outlets debate the NFL Rookie of the Year recently has made my head spin too much not to comment. A recent argument got heated, when Sean Salisbury proclaimed Vince Young the obvious choice and Merrill Hoge countered…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Good to see Dave Thomas catching a touchdown this weekend. He was always my favorite fast food founder, with the Colonel being a close second. Thanks Shaun Alexander, your performance was a spit in the face to all fantasy owners you had a major hand in already eliminating.…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Editor’s Note: The following is written for RotoWire’s weekly “game capsules;” I cover the NFC home games. Carolina (+6.5) at Atlanta, Sunday 1 p.m. Comments: In order to keep its playoff hopes alive, Atlanta will need to end its home woes, as the team has dropped three straight…

By Robby Wellington This week may be the toughest to handicap of the entire season, with a slew of 3-4 point spreads. The Colts (-9 @ Houston) make a great team to tease. I think the Eagles magic should definitely stop in Dallas (Cowboys -7) and would tease the Boys with the Colts. In other…

By Dalton Del Don – Staff Writer Minnesota (+3.5) at Green Bay, Thursday 8 p.m. Comments: In what could possibly be Brett Favre’s final game at Lambeau Field, Tarvaris Jackson is set to make his first ever NFL start. Replacing an ineffective Brad Johnson (5.6 YPA), Jackson (knee, probable) was surprisingly competent last week, using…
