This year, we are seeing QBs such as Kurt Warner and Brett Favre tear up the fantasy stats. even though they are supposedly way past their primes, at 37 and 39 years old respectively . But I wanted to see just what players have had the best fantasy seasons ever, in the weining years of their careers. So here are the top 3…

1. Steve Young, 1998.
In Young’s 14th NFL season, the league’s all-time highest rated passer threw for over 4000 yards, 36 TDs, to just 12 INTs. Young’s best season of his career came at 37 years old. Young’s 98′ season was also one of the top 5 fantasy seasons, of any player, ever. Truly remarkable.

2. Steve Beuerlein, 1999
Steve who? In 15 NFL season, Beuerlein played for 6 NFL teams, and reached the 20 TD mark just once. But in his 11th NFL season, at the age of 34, Beuerlein had a season that he will never forget. The unknown QB threw for 36 TD passes, and nearly 4,500 yards. A break out year would be an understatement.

3. Kurt Warner, 2008
Warner, at 37 years old, is 3 yards short of being on pace for 5,000, and 32 TDs. The 2 time MVP has an astounding 99.4 QB rating. He’s the leading MVP candidate in a lot of people’s eyes, having maybe his best season yet. Warner has been blessed with a great receiving core throughout his career, but may have his best right now, and it is paying dividends.

Every season fantasy owners go nuts trying to figure out this whole running back by committee mess. Which guy will get the most carries, who’s the goal line back, who do they use more as a receiver out of the backfield… the whole shabang. However, has anyone ever heard of an NFL team having a kicker by committee?

Some of you may be scratching your heads in confusion, but anyone who started John Carney this past weekend knows exactly what I’m talking about. That’s right, the G-Men have decided that they’re going to alternate kickers. Yup, John Carney and Lawrence Tynes will be alternating the kicking duties for the rest of the season, it’s a good ol’ fashioned kicker by committee!!!

Now I obviously know that coach Tom Coughlin is not at all thinking about the millions of fantasy owners when making a decision like this, he’s obviously thinking about the team. Even so though, with John Carney having an amazing season and being 21 for 22 on field goals this season, what the hell do you bring in Lawrence Tynes for?? Because he was your kicker before he got hurt and now he’s belly aching because he lost his job to his grandfather?

To me, this NFL season has been filled with oooo’s and aaaa’s and what the hells… This definitely falls under the what the hell category. I would like to express my sympathy for anyone who lost a game this past weekend because they started John Carney. Clearly the fantasy news on kickers is slim and only those with an inside story on the G-Men would have known about his sudden benching. I sure didn’t know, and I lost quite a few games because of it myself… so again, I sympathize with you.

That’s all for now, until next time, go kick some ass!!

Earlier this season, the big question was, has Eli surpassed his big brother? Big bro Peyton is beginning to prove why he’s still boss. Peyton and the Colts opened up the season at 1-2, and Manning had a QB rating of 73.05, having thrown more picks than TDs, and having a rare sub-60 completion percentage.

Since then Manning has been playing very well, with a rating of 87.35, having thrown 12 TDs to just 5 INTs. And over his last 3 games, Peyton has thrown 7 touches and just 2 picks, and has a rating of just a tad below 95. The Colts are 2-1 in that span, and are getting healthier.

With Indy’s remaining schedule going like this: Houston, San Diego, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Jacksonville, Tennessee; Peyton’s future stats are looking promising, as each of these teams have struggled tremendously against the pass all season, with the exception of the Titans of course; but that match-up is in Week 17, a game in which you’ll probably be seeing Tennessee’s second unit for most of the game…unless of course they can go…never mind.

Hey everyone! Welcome back for another tidbit of info about who’s gonna be hot this week! Week 9 see’s some really hot matchups to be aware of, including Chicago vs Detroit, Philadelphia vs Seattle, Arizona vs St Louis and more! Ok, enough chit chat, let’s get into it!

Quarterbacks

Kyle Orton vs Detroit Lions
Let’s face it, the Lions suck, bad. They’re the worst defense in the NFL and Kyle Orton is one of the hottest QB’s in the NFL. It doesn’t take rocket science to figure out he’s gonna have a great game. I don’t care who else you have, no one is gonna score as many points as Orton this week, so start him!!!

Donovan McNabb vs Seattle Seahawks
Jeez, this Seahawks team was good once upon a time. That once upon a time is NOT this year. They beat an equally bad 49ers team for their 1st win of the season last week, and now they face Philly at home. I don’t care where they are, Philly is gonna stomp them, look for McNabb to be huge this week!

Kurt Warner vs St Louis Rams
The Rams have been showing some spunk as of late, Warner will be sure to show his old team his spunk this weekend. The Cardinals offense has been unstoppable this year, literally. Their passing offense is 2nd in the league, and they’re first in points scored, being held under 30 points only twice all year! Warner is going to abuse this crappy secondary, so start him.

Jay Cutler vs Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins defense has been pretty tough as of late, but they’ve shown no ability to stop the long passing game. Cutler will put up some good numbers against a weak secondary, especially with both Marshall and Royal set to go.

Chad Pennington vs Denver Broncos
Man, this game might very well be a shootout!! The Broncos defense has been horrible and Pennington has thrown for 280+ and a score in his last 3 games. Last week he looked to last years first round pick Ted Ginn Jr. quite a bit and he’s expected to do the same this weekend. Great filler for underachieving QB’s and bye weeks.

More Solid Options: Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, David Garrard

Well well well, another week down and another week full of news. If you were banking on one of your top named all-star players making a huge impact for you this week, well you were probably disappointed. This week we saw lots of great running games get going and a few under-rated passers get their groove on. So, let’s take a minute here and let’s break down the studs and duds for week 7!

The Studs

Steven Jackson
160 yards rushing, 3 rushing touchdowns, 2 receptions, 16 rec yards
Well Steven Jackson owners were happy this week. In a Cowboys/Rams matchup in which the Cowboys were tremendously favored, the Rams came in and tore them up! As you can see Jackson ran to the tune of 160 yards and 3 touchdowns! A great performance from a guy we’ve all been waiting on to break out this year.

LenDale White
149 yards rushing, 3 rushing touchdowns, 1 reception, 7 receiving yards
It was a guarantee that the Titans were gonna rip apart the Chiefs, but it was no guarantee that they’d have over 300 yards rushing and 4 touchdowns between their 2 rb’s alone! LenDale White lead the dangerous duo tacking on 3 more touchdowns to his already high touchdown total this year. If you start this guy at the right time, you’re all but guaranteed a win for that week.

Chris Johnson
168 yards rushing, 1 rushing touchdown, 2 receptions, 4 receiving yards
The other half of the dangerous running duo out of Tennessee may not have had as many touchdowns, but he sure did manage to tear it up with 168 yards of his own!! He also managed one score which still put him amongst the top 5 fantasy scorers for this week! Great job by this rookie this weekend, and all of this year so far.

Mewelde Moore
120 yards rushing, 2 rushing touchdowns, 5 receptions, 14 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown
Well I’m not ashamed to say that I underestimated Moore this week by putting him on the “do not start” list, but I guarantee you I’ll never make that mistake again! Moore absolutely terrorized the Bengals defense to the tune of 3 total touchdowns and over 120 total yards! Willie Parker and Rashard Mendenhall who?
