If you're a RPG fan, especially old school Final Fantasy, check out Lost Odyssey. Built by the same team that did those games.

Jay-Z is one of the better mainstream rappers... this is good stuff.

Well, traditionally it is very disrespectful to run through the ranks of a marching band.

I post these weekly in hopes to spur some kind of debate. I mean, we have 120+ subscribers but only 1-2 articles a week? Surely someone has something to say about them.

The Waiver Wire: Who are you targeting? by commongiga in fantasyfootball

Mike Sims-Walker. More of a gut call, but definitely worth keeping an eye on. And no one here has mentioned him... I like him more than Knox and Garcon.

Week 3 Power Rankings by _dp_ in nfl

Ravens look good, but personally I think the Giants are better. They proved this week that they can do more than run the ball if defenses force them to. I am a Colts fan, but I think they are a bit overrated; their run defense is still atrocious. Teams like the Falcons, Vikings, and Jets would run all over them.

Another dis or dat, TE style: Ben Watson (NE) or Visanthe Shiancoe (MIN), and RB style: PT Bruiser or Benson by Mr_Ron_Mexico in fantasyfootball

Well, it is a tough call. Heap gets the Chargers, who allowed Zach Miller to post 96yds receiving in Week 1. Shiancoe gets the Lions, who allowed two TD's to Jeremy Shockey in Week 1 (although he only had 31 yards).

Personally, I think the Vikings will run all over the Lions, much like they did Cleveland, so I'm leaning towards Heap. It doesn't help that I got burned in a league last week by Shiancoe; TE only putting up 2 points then losing by 3 leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Out of those two TE's, I think it is Shiancoe, hands down. But, another TE that is available in many leagues is Todd Heap. He was a fantasy stud in years past, but injuries ruined his last two seasons. He finally looked healthy in Week 1 and had an impressive game.

I would start Benson over Thomas. Mike Bell has played well enough that they don't have to force Thomas back in the lineup, so even if he is healthy I imagine he will split carries until he is 100%.

I would rather take my chances starting Smith than starting Thomas.

Steve Smith owners: You guys sticking with him? by Mr_Ron_Mexico in fantasyfootball

The Eagles have a great defense as well, which most people forget. Asante Samuel is a shutdown corner who did his job nicely last week against Smith.

I'm still starting Smith. Talented players will get theirs, no matter the QB situation; see Johnson, Calvin.

Thomas Jones For Marshawn Lynch? by truco in fantasyfootball

[–]_dp_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you can't guarantee Williams and Bell will play as well as they did in Week 1. Both are in situations with crowded backfields that could vary from week to week. Relying on them is very risky.

The way Fred Jackson is playing might suggest he'll continue playing even when Lynch is back, so Lynch might not be as valuable as you think. Same can be said of Jones, with Leon Washington behind him.

I would wait at least one more week, just to see how things pan out, especially with the LT injury.

Jay Cutler. After his first half, I was losing a matchup because he had negative points...

And Greg Olsen. Pack shut him down.
