Adrian Peterson will re-define the way the running back position is played. Adrian Peterson Tribute Adrian Peterson: Rookie of the Year

Shaun Alexander (Washed Up?)

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Before the beginning of last season I made reference to Shaun Alexander being a mid-late first round fantasy draft choice and ranked his as high as the fifth best fantasy option from the NFC. Needless to say, I was completely wrong and Alexander had his worst season since his rookie ...

Championship Week: Week 16 Running Backs

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

As I’ve already stated in my weekly analysis of NFL Quarterbacks, “it will be somewhat difficult to field a starting lineup in Week 16 of the NFL”. However, fielding a decent lineup on paper won’t be too difficult, but fielding a decent lineup of players that will play the entire ...

“The Gospel” Week 15 Running Backs

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

It has taken them awhile, but it’s finally December and fantasy football owners’ favorite position is finally worth talking about. Last week we saw some pretty impressive performances; LaDainian went off in the second half and overtime in San Diego’s win over Tennessee, Joseph Addai scored 25 points in only ...

“The Gospel” Week 11 Running Backs

Friday, November 16th, 2007

    I obviously need to shake a few things up this week considering I didn’t fare too well at this position last week. This position has been absolutely insane; Tomlinson has remained consistently mediocre, Westbrook is having the best season of his career, Steven Jackson has returned with a vengeance, and ...

“The Gospel” Week 10 Running Backs

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

How do you write anything about Running Backs without mentioning Adrian Peterson’s record breaking performance in the same game against the supposed best at his position, LaDainian Tomlinson. If you don’t mind me saying, it was a reality check for Tomlinson and an unintentional slap in the face by Peterson, ...

“The Gospel” Week 9 Running Backs

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Now that we are approaching fall football and the whether is beginning to change owners will finally reap the rewards for picking running backs throughout the first two rounds of their fantasy drafts. LaDainian Tomlinson will pick up the pace, Larry Johnson will prove why he held out, and veterans ...

“The Gospel” Week 8 Running Backs

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

As I’ve mentioned before this position has been the biggest surprise and biggest let down for the entire first half of the 2007 season and it’s not going to get any better this week with some of the top runners on bye week and the recent season ending injury to ...

“The Gospel” Week 5 Running Backs

Friday, October 5th, 2007

It's a good thing that I decided to have this out on Friday and not Thursday this week. I finally figured it out; all the top running backs have been hanging out with Travis Henry this season. As a matter of fact, Henry is the only RB listed as questionable ...

“The Gospel” Week 4 Running Backs

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

Yeah, what has happened to the "premier" fantasy position this season?  By no stretch of the imagination is this a start em'/sit em' list, but it is a list that will show you the most value from the Running Back position if deciding to play in weekly cash competitions or when making ...

“The Gospel” Week 3 Running Backs

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Is this the year where wide-receivers get all the attention and running backs just find their role and stick to it? I ask that question because there are a lot of interesting things going on in the world of running backs and quite a few have not lived up to their ...

“The Gospel” Week 2 Running Backs

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

More "Gospel" today in regards to which running backs are likely to shine, others who are overvalued, and a few others not getting the respect they deserve that you can definitely count on this week. In this series I am using the Bruno Boys' predictions to arrive at my own conclusions. For more running ...

Injury: Bad Luck or Just Part of the Game

Monday, September 10th, 2007

I just wrote an article for FIO entitled "The Correct Decision: Don't Blame it on Luck". The entire premise of the article is to come prepared, make the correct decisions, finish strong, and never blame your poor decisions on bad luck.  If any of you have read my previous rants about ...

Making the Correct Decision (J. Lewis or C. Williams)

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

Proven or unproven! Veteran or youth! Mediocre team or a team in process! Passing game or no passing game! Maybe! This is a situation where you better secure your running back position early and not place too much emphasis on taking an early risk. However, one of these backs may produce ...

Making the Correct Decision (James or Benson)

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

Veteran leadership on an up and coming team or first year starter on defending NFC Champions. Who is the better selection when you're faced with this dilemma in the middle or late 3rd rounds of your leagues fantasy draft? We all know what Edgerrin James is capable of doing evidenced by ...
