who are the sleepers of 2010 Football game

Chad Henne, QB, MIA – One of the big comments coming out of early training camps came from Dolphins' owner Stephen Ross, who said Henne could be, "the best quarterback in sale Dolphins jerseys' history." While the remark probably made Marino spit his Nutrisystem, I'm definitely drinking the Henne Kool-Aid.

The former Wolverine is known for his cannon-like arm, which went woefully unused in his first season after replacing cheap Chad Pennington jersey at the helm week three. Despite an extremely pedestrian receiving core he still managed to post three games of 300+ yards, which even more encouragingly all came within the last five games of the season. He also posted a 64% completion percentage over that period after only managing to get above 59% twice in the first eleven games.

Justin Forsett, RB, SEA (ADP: 121.27) – One of my favorite candidates for a Ray Rice-type break out, I was devastated when the Seahawks signed LenDale White in free agency. Luckily the pain lasted only four days as White was cut because of a pending substance-abuse suspension, leaving the Seahawks back at square one again with Forsett and the washed up former Cowboy Julius Jones competing for the starting job in what Coach Pete Carroll called, "an open competition."

His size might be the only thing holding him back. At 5'8", 195 pounds he's not exactly a bruiser and his goal line carries might suffer as a result, but it's worth noting that according to Pro Football Focus's Elusive Rating System, Forsett was the most "elusive" back in the league last season, which only bodes well for future success and his ability to carry a large workload. You won't get better upside in round ten.

Forsett was a fantastic plug n' play option when Julius Jones was being old and sitting out and was clearly the better back all season. He averaged 6.3 yards per carry when given the rock a minimum of ten times and was good for 2-3 receptions.
Dustin Keller, TE, NYJ (ADP: 152.77) – As a general rule when researching for any fantasy draft, when you see headlines like this, you should pay attention. His head coach actually called him a fantasy break out candidate! How often does that happen?

Lane Rizzardini has been playing fantasy sports for over 10 years. His earliest memory was drafting Fred Lane in 2003, only to find out Fred's wife has shot him in the offseason. Lane is also a weekly contributor at fantasybaseball.com.

But the possibility was already there. More of a receiver than a blocker, he was clearly Mark Sanchez's favorite target last season but was pulled many times in blocking situations. Now with Keller improving his blocking and Sanchez slated for more passing attempts, look for Keller to finish as a top six tight end in 2010  supply NFL jerseys.

What is Cincinnati Bengals Favorite Target in 2010?

It may only be June, but the reviews on Shipley and how he's looked during offseason workouts have been nothing but phenomenal. He's already impressing at a level that have many believing the former Longhorn could be a key factor to the success of the Bengals' passing game during his rookie season

Thanks to great fundamentals, a surprising running game and an impressive secondary, the Bengals were one of the NFL's pleasant surprises last season. Managing to win 10 games and the AFC North crown with quarterback cheap Carson Palmer jerseys throwing for just over 3,000 yards was even more startling.

However, despite the talent each of the players listed above brings, Palmer may have found himself a new favorite target with what Shipley brings to the table. Here are five reasons why Shipley will be Palmer's favorite target during his

Not only should Cincinnati fans be excited about the arrival of Shipley, but his quarterback supply Carson Palmer jerseys should be too. Palmer has a handful of new weapons in Chad Ochocinco, Antonio Bryant, and Jermaine Gresham to help re-establish last year's horrendous passing game.

Coming off of elbow surgery, Palmer had his skeptics heading into the season, and the playcalling did little to help him out. Only four times in the regular season did Palmer attempt 35 passes or more in a game, which helps explain why he had just five outings with multiple passing touchdowns and one 300-yard passing day. Even with Chad Ochocinco catching nine touchdowns, the Bengals weren't exactly an aerial juggernaut last season.

With the 84th pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals jerseys selected Texas standout Jordan Shipley to help improve the passing game. After finishing 26th last season, the team knew the passing game was an area to focus on in the draft and with Shipley, they may contain one of the top sleepers for the 2010 season.

On Haynesworth, Ray Lewis flirts with hypocrisy

sale Ravens jerseys linebacker discount Ray Lewis jerseys recently added his two cents on the Albert Haynesworth situation in D.C.

Appearing with our good friends LaVar Arrington and Chad Dukes of 106.7 the Fan, white Lewis jerseys shared his views on Haynesworth's situation.

"Your days of long suffering, of pain, of working out and countless hours of suffering, they're for a reason," Lewis said, via Dan Steinberg of D.C. Sports Bog.  "To fulfill a legacy, chasing something.  And nowadays, where everything gets this dispute here, and I don't want to do this, I don't want to do that.  See, when I was coming up, we didn't have that choice, to tell an adult -- no matter who it was -- what we weren't gonna do."

So how would Lewis respond in a similar situation?

"I mean, I don't have to create a response," supply Lewis jerseys said. "The response is, whatever you want me to do, coach.  Let's get it done.  If you want to switch the defense because you think it'll work better in a 3-4 -- I played in a 4-3 my whole life, but we switched up to a 3-4.

"OK, Ray, you're gonna have to take on more guards, you're gonna have to do this and that.

"OK, coach, I'll adjust. Do I like it? Hmm, nah. But I'll adjust, so let's do it, you know what I'm saying? And through that process, I won the defensive player of the year in the 4-3 in 2000, and in 2003 I came back and won the defensive player of the year in the 3-4. So it don't matter. Bottom line. Bottom line. Football is football, man . . . .

"No matter what the scheme is, y'all work together as businessmen to get it done.  Because that's ultimately what it is, it's a business, so let's come to work and let's work together to figure this out.  OK, what best fits you?  OK, well, let's go to this sometimes, and then sometimes you don't like it, then we'll switch back to a 4-3, so play with that.  But all of this?  No, too much.  Too much."

Though Ray acknowledges that he had concerns regarding the 3-4, he overlooks the magnitude of those concerns -- as demonstrated when he welcomed with open arms the shift to a 46 defense after defensive coordinator Mike Nolan left to become head coach of the cheap 49ers jerseys.

"That's like telling your premier running back that you're going to make sure he's not going to be touched in a football game," sale Lewis jerseys told SI.com in 2005 (via Zennie Abraham's City Brights blog at SFGate.com).  "To come into camp and have my defensive coordinator tell me I'm not going to be touched, I'm like a little kid all over again. . . . It's tough, because you have to humble yourself and take coaching and do whatever they tell you to do.  Whether it takes away from your game or helps it, you just deal with it.  That's what I did.   It didn't alter how I prepared, it didn't alter my passion for the game.   But at the same time, it alters how dominant I can be."

Though Abraham believes that Lewis' comments from 2005 when compared to his more recent remarks constitute hypocrisy, we're not quite ready to apply that label.  Lewis didn't like the 3-4, but he showed up for work and didn't demand a trade.   Haynesworth doesn't like the 3-4, and he's not showing up and wants out.  Still, the glee Lewis demonstrated when the 3-4 -- and the frustration that from time to time bubbled up before that (we couldn't find the links, but we remember it) -- paint a somewhat different picture.

Again, it's not yet hypocrisy from discount Lewis jerseys.  But it's close.

Last Lull

This is a really strange time in the NFL hot jerseys: year -- probably the deadest, with lots of coaches and front office people taking vacations. OTAs are done, the top draft picks won't start signing for a few more weeks, free agency is pretty much over. Yet, we're deceptively close to the time when everybody springs into action. Rookies report to Lehigh in 32 days.

A couple of situations have resolved themselves this week, most notably, the Rams re-signing safety O.J. Atogwe, meaning Eagles cheap jerseysfans who wanted to hand him zillions of dollars because they once heard somebody on ESPN say he was pretty good can stand down.

Also, a former Ram, quarterback Marc Bulger, signed with Baltimore discount jerseys. Some folks had felt that if the Eagles Brian jerseys ever did get another team to give them a draft pick for Michael Vick, they'd move to bring in Bulger to back up Kevin Kolb. I was never sure this would have been a great idea, with Kolb an unestablished starter and Bulger very used to starting. Now it absolutely isn't going to happen.

If some team loses a QB in training camp and gets interested in Vick, I believe Jeff Garcia can still be revived from Jeff awaits the call from Andythe NovaCare tank where he is kept frozen in carbonite. But given that poll this week in which Vick repeated as America's most hated athlete, you really have to wonder if the call is ever going to come.

There will be a supplemental draft for guys who weren't eligible for the regular draft for some reason or another, on July 12. You get a player by "bidding" a draft pick for next season; if your pick is the highest bid, then you forfeit that pick in 2011. An Eagles Donovan_McNabb jerseys source says that as usual, there won't be any high picks expended in this year's supplemental draft. If the Birds get involved, it will be way toward the bottom.

As Tommy Lawlor points out in this Igglesblog piece, the Eagles Michael_Vick jerseys already have 13 drafted rookies and at least a few underafted guys they like (Chad Hall, Martell Mallett, etc.) Where the heck would they put the guy they would have just spent one of next year's draft picks acquiring? That's the season the NFL is talking about expanding, not the rosters.

Lawlor does a good job of explaining why the Eagles probably aren't very interested in BYU running back Harvey Unga.

Over at the National Football Post, Andrew Brandt examines what the rookies drafted by the NBA tonight will get, vs. the financial setup for NFL draftees. One problem in comparing NFL salaries with those of any other team sport is that none of the other sports has a 53-man roster, of course.

Pittsburgh Steelers: 10 Ways To Help Compensate Big Ben’s Absence

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, LaMarr_Woodley will be the Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys opening week starter and should continue to be the starter for Ben Roethlisberger's four-six game suspension.

In the other major professional sports leagues, a four-six game suspension would be a rather minor suspension, but not in the NFL jerseys. This equates to at least a quarter of the season missed by the Steelers star quarterback. The team's performance to start the season may mean the difference between a playoff appearance and a top 15 draft selection.

It will be a difficult stretch of games for the Steelers without Roethlisberger jerseys. He is a two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback who has established himself as one of the elite quarterbacks in the NFL.

For James_Farrior jerseysand the Steelers to achieve success in Roethlishberger's absence, Troy_Polamalu jerseys will have to change the way his team plays to start the season.

If Roethlisberger is only suspended for the first quarter of the season, the Steelers will face a rather challenging schedule, matching up against Atlanta jerseysat home, Tampa Bay hot jerseys on the road, Tennessee Titans jerseys, and then back at home against division rivals Baltimore jerseys.

To give the Steelers the best chance to succeed early, here are the 10 things Pittsburgh can do to help alleviate Roethlisberger's absence.

Vikings Weigh Their Quarterback Options: Sage Rosenfels or Joe Webb?

From a non-retirement offseason to undergoing ankle surgery for Brett Favre hot jerseys, there are plenty of reasons for Vikings fans to be confident that No. 4 will be under center September 9 in New Orleans to kick off the 2010 NFL jerseys Season.

With the potential return of Favre, which is definitely the ideal situation in Minnesota, there might have to be some reshuffling behind him on the depth chart at the quarterback position.

After optional and mandatory minicamp sessions this past month, it is apparent that Tarvaris Jackson will be the guy to back up Favre this season if he returns.

While Jackson's four-year career has been marred with inconsistent play, he showed flashes of consistency during the 2009 season, going 14-21 for 201 yards and 1 touchdown while posting a 113.4 quarterback rating during some mop-up duty when the Vikings had games in check.

The 2010 NFL Draft came and went with no selections that would indicate the team wanted to go in a different direction at quarterback besides the players that were already on the roster. It would be Favre (most likely), Jackson, and Sage Rosenfels, who the team acquired from the Houston Texans cheap jerseys for a 4th-round selection during the 2009 offseason.

However, during this summer's minicamp workouts, the coaching staff decided they wanted to see 6th-round pick Joe Webb, who converted to wide receiver due to his athletic ability, throw the football.

Webb was the starting QB at UAB before being drafted in April and was named the Conference USA Player of Year for the 2009 season, throwing for 2,299 yards and 21 TD's while adding 1,427 yards and 11 touchdowns on 227 attempts rushing the football.

In fact, Webb became the first player in NCAA history to throw for more than 2,000 yards and rush for more than 1,000 yards in two consecutive seasons ('08 and '09).

After watching Webb's ability to throw the football, the coaching staff gave him several reps with the second team behind Tarvaris Jackson (Rosenfels' normal role in practice) and have decided he will enter training camp in Mankato, Minn. as a quarterback.

Right now, it appears unlikely the team will keep four quarterbacks on the roster assuming Favre returns sometime before the regular season.

When the heat of training camp rolls around on July 30, the Vikings coaching staff might have to weigh their options when it comes to the No. 3 spot on the quarterback depth chart and it looks to be between rookie Joe Webb and veteran Sage Rosenfels.

So let's get a jump start on the two candidates.

Webb put up great numbers at the NFL Combine back in February, running a 4.43 forty and a 42 1/2 inch vertical jump.

When the Vikings selected him 199th overall, word was that he would have to make an NFL roster at the wide receiver position or as a quarterback in the wildcat formation that has been used more and more recently to catch defenses off-guard.

While Webb has shown he also has a strong arm on top of all of his athletic ability, coaching staffs and scouts can all agree that it's not easy at all for a rookie to adapt to the speed of NFL defenses and learn the mental part of the game in quick fashion.

In order for Webb to get a shot as the No. 3 quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, he must show the coaching staff that he has the work ethic not only on the field, but off the field in the film room to learn the packages and schemes of the NFL.

After Rosenfels was acquired by the Vikings in February of 2008, it appeared he finally had a chance in his career to battle for a starting quarterback position.

After coming into the league in 2001 with the Redskins, the journeyman quarterback first played with the Miami Dolphins jerseys and Houston Texans jerseys. In Houston, Rosenfels was a solid backup to Matt Schaub and got some playing time during the 2008 season when Schaub went down with a knee injury against the Vikings.

In six games in 2008, five in which he started, Rosenfels threw for 1,431 yards and 6 touchdowns. He seemed poised to make his first step to the big time with a new team.

Enter Brett Favre.

With Favre and Jackson both ahead of him on the depth chart during the 2009 season, Rosenfels never took a snap, mostly helping out the quarterbacks with polaroid pictures on the sidelines between offensive series.

What sets Rosenfels apart from Webb is his experience in the league and having one year of Brad Childress' offensive scheme under his belt.

In order to win the No. 3 quarterback position again for the 2010 season, he must show his understanding of the offense and prove that although he doesn't have the athletic ability of Webb, he can still hang in the pocket and get the ball downfield with his arm.

It is just over a month until the team starts camp and the coaching staff has several options to weigh including the future of the quarterback position.

It can't come soon enough.

Mankins lets deadline pass, skips Patriots' minicamp

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Logan Mankins started every game since being drafted by the New England Patriots <hot jerseys> in 2005. Now he wants to do that somewhere else.

The two-time Pro Bowl <jerseys>guard, upset with negotiations over a new contract, skipped the start of the team's three-day minicamp on Tuesday after saying he wants to be traded.
Logan Mankins, G
New England Patriots  <cheqap  jerseys>
Experience: 5 seasons
Height: 6-4
Weight: 310

Mankins <Pierre Thomas jerseys> was not required to attend since he's unsigned after completing his original five-year contract. He's a restricted free agent, so any team that makes an offer would have to part with a first- and third-round draft choice if the Patriots don't match it.

"At this point, I'm pretty frustrated, from everything that's happened and the way negotiations have gone," Mankins told ESPN Boston on Monday. "I want to be traded. I don't need to be here any more."

Coach Bill Belichick wouldn't address the issue when asked about it four times during his news conference before Tuesday's practice.

"I think the situation between anybody and the club, the contract situation, is between them and the club," he said. "I'm focusing on coaching the players that are here."

Asked if Mankins had told him or the club directly that he wants to be traded, Belichick said, "I think we already talked about that."

Because the NFL jerseys is in a season without a salary cap, players with four or five years experience who could have become free agents during a capped year now must wait until they complete their sixth season.

The Patriots made a $3.268 million, one-year tender offer to Mankins, the 23rd overall draft pick in 2005. When he didn't sign it by the deadline of 11:59 p.m. Monday, the team exercised its right to lower it to $1.54 million, according to the Boston Globe.

The Globe reported that the Patriots <Robert Meachem black jerseys> also offered a five-year contract at about $7 million per year. The Boston Herald reported that the deal was worth more than $7 million per year.

Mankins' agent, Frank Bauer, did not return a phone call seeking comment Tuesday.

Patriots who did attend the minicamp had little to say about the absent player.

"We understand his situation but we're all out here working and getting better," linebacker Tully Banta-Cain said. "I'm pretty sure they'll get that resolved when the time is right."

Nose tackle Vince Wilfork was upset a year ago when he had one season left on his contract but wanted an extension. Unlike Mankins, he was still under contract and reported to the mandatory minicamp in 2009. After the season, Wilfork signed a five-year, $40 million contract.

He declined comment on Mankins' situation.

"I'm not going to touch that because I have nothing to do with Logan's situation, so I'll leave that up to Logan to talk about," Wilfork said. "I'm pretty sure everybody that's out here now is just excited to be back because, being away from the game for a couple of months, everybody kind of misses it."

Barring a change of heart, Mankins won't be back with the Patriots at all.

After the 2008 season, he and his agent asked the Patriots about an extension but were told that owner Robert Kraft wanted to wait because of the uncertain NFL labor situation, ESPN Boston reported.

"I was asked to play '09 out, and that they would address the contract during the uncapped year. I'm a team player, I took them at their word, and I felt I played out an undervalued contract," Mankins told ESPN Boston.

"Right now, this is about principle with me and keeping your word and how you treat people. This is what I thought the foundation of the Patriots was built on. Apparently, I was wrong. Growing up, I was taught a man's word is his bond. Obviously this isn't the case with the Patriots."

the introduction of Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears are a professional American football team based in Chicago, Illinois. They are members of the NFC North Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The team is legally and corporately registered as Chicago Bears Football Club, Incorporated.

The Bears have won nine professional American football league championships (eight NFL Championships and Super Bowl XX). The Bears have the most enshrinees in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, with 26 members. The Bears have also recorded more regular season and overall victories than any other NFL franchise. The franchise recorded its 700th win on December 7, 2008.[2][3][4]

The club was founded in Decatur, Illinois, in 1919[5], and moved to Chicago in 1921. Along with the Arizona Cardinals (originally from Chicago), it is one of only two remaining franchises from the NFL's jerseys founding. The team played home games at Wrigley Field on Chicago's North Side through the 1970 season. With the exception of the 2002 season, they have played their home games at Chicago's Soldier Field every year since 1971. The stadium is located next to Lake Michigan, and was recently remodeled in a modernization intended to update stadium amenities while preserving a historic Chicago structure. The team has a fierce, long-standing rivalry with the Green Bay Packers, whom they have played 178 times. The Bears currently hold the edge in head to head match ups with a record of 90–82–5.[6]

The team headquarters, Halas Hall, is in the Chicago suburb of Lake Forest, Illinois. The Bears practice at adjoining facilities there during the season. They hold their annual training camp from late July to mid-August at Ward Field on the campus of Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, Illinois.

History of the Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens came into existence in 1996 when Art Modell, then owner of the Cleveland Browns, announced his intention to relocate his team from Cleveland to Baltimore. The controversy ended when representatives of Cleveland and the NFL jerseys reached a settlement on February 8, 1996. The agreement stipulated that the Browns' name, colors, uniform design and franchise records would remain in Cleveland. The franchise history included Browns club records and connections with Pro Football Hall of Fame players. A new team to begin play in 1999 would be regarded as the "reactivated" Cleveland Browns. Modell's Baltimore team, while retaining all current player contracts, would officially be the expansion team, a "new franchise."[1]  Not all players, staff or front office would make the move to Baltimore, however.

Modell relocated the team and hired Ted Marchibroda as head coach. Marchibroda was already well known because of his work as head coach of the Baltimore Colts during the 1970s and the Indianapolis Colts during the early 1990s. Ozzie Newsome, the Browns' tight end for many seasons, joined Modell in Baltimore as director of football operations. He was later promoted to Vice President/General Manager.

The home stadium for the Ravens first two seasons was Baltimore's Memorial Stadium, home field of the Baltimore Colts years before. The Ravens moved to their own new stadium at Camden Yards in 1998. Raven Stadium would subsequently wear the names PSI Net Stadium and then M&T Bank Stadium.

In the 1996 NFL Draft, the Ravens, with two picks in the first round, drafted offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden at #4 overall and linebacker Ray Lewis at #26 overall. Both players would go on to have Hall of Fame-caliber careers for the Ravens.

The 1996 Ravens won their opening game against the Oakland Raiders. However, they would not keep this momentum for long, and they finished 4-12. One other highlight of the season was their trip to Indianapolis to play the Colts (who won 26-21). This game was aired on TNT, and was the first such game following the closure of the acquisition of TNT parent Turner Broadcasting System by Time Warner, only three days earlier.

The 1997 Ravens started 3–1. Peter Boulware, a rookie defender from Florida State, recorded 11.5 sacks and was named AFC Defensive Rookie of the Year. The team finished 6–9–1. On October 26, the team made its first trip to Landover, Maryland to play their new regional rivals, the Washington Redskins, for the first time in the regular season, at the new Jack Kent Cooke Stadium (replacing the still-standing RFK Stadium in Washington, DC). The Ravens won the game 20-17.

Quarterback Vinny Testaverde left for the New York Jets before the 1998 season and was replaced by former Indianapolis Colt Jim Harbaugh, and later Eric Zeier. Cornerback Rod Woodson joined the team after a successful stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Priest Holmes started getting the first playing time of his career and ran for 1,000 yards. The Ravens finished 1998 with a 6–10 record. On November 29, the Ravens welcomed the Colts back to Baltimore for the first time in 15 years. Amidst a shower of negative cheers towards the Colts, the Ravens won 38-31.

Three consecutive losing seasons under Marchibroda led to a change in the head coach. Brian Billick took over as head coach in 1999. Billick had been offensive coordinator for the record-setting Minnesota Vikings the season before. Quarterback Tony Banks came to Baltimore from the St. Louis Rams and had the best season of his career with 17 touchdown passes and an 81.2 pass rating. He was joined by receiver Qadry Ismail, who posted a 1,000-yard season. The Ravens struggled early starting 3-6 but managed to finish with an 8–8 record.

Due to continual financial hardships, the NFL directed Modell to initiate the sale of his franchise. On March 27, 2000, NFL owners approved the sale of 49% of the Ravens to Bisciotti. In the deal, Bisciotti had an option to purchase the remaining 51% for $325 million in 2004 from Art Modell. On April 9, 2004 the NFL approved Steve Bisciotti's purchase of the majority stake in the club.

The Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills are suddenly leading the headlines this offseason. Well, for a weekend at least.

Shortly after taking the job in Buffalo, coach Chan Gailey said he didn't know who the quarterback would be and it'd be a true competition. He's certainly being true to his word.

On Saturday, Brian Brohm took first team reps. Brohm, a former second round pick by the Packers, wasn't expected to be a contender for the starting job but with Gailey's quarterback expertise, he can't be counted out. Brohm was followed by Trent Edwards in both 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 work.

The Bills are unlikely to name a starting quarterback until training camp.

In other news, Bills rookie offensive lineman Ed Wang went down with an injury. Early reports indicate it's a high ankle sprain, which would likely keep him out for the rest of OTAs but available for training camp. Gailey, speaking to the media, wasn't sure what the situation was.

"He did sustain an injury this morning," said Gailey. "We're getting the reports back from the doctor this afternoon we'll know a lot more. I'm hoping we haven't lost him for the season."

And for the final Bills update we turn to Marshawn Lynch.

Lynch has been at the Bills complex the last week lifting weights with his teammates. But he hasn't met Chan Gailey.

Seriously.

Gailey was asked: Is it strange that one of your running backs is in town and you two never meet? "I would think that is strange, yes," he said.

It's widely been rumored that Lynch would like a ticket out of Buffalo. Maybe this is his way of going about it.

SB Nation's Buffalo Rumblings has been busy covering all the news coming out of Orchard Park this week.

2010 NFL Preview: Atlanta Falcons

 

The Falcons took a step back from their stellar 2008 season, but still managed to win nine games. Michael Turner's injuries were a downer, but the glass half-full view saw improvement (at times) in Matt Ryan. A healthy Turner and an even more seasoned Ryan should lead to big things for the Dirty Birds.

 

 

Fantasy Playoff Schedule :  Moderate

The Falcons play at Carolina and Seattle and then host the Saints. I wouldn't call this either an easy or a tough schedule at this point.  Weather should not play a factor.

 

 

Five-Star Fantasy Options

Michael Turner —Despite playing in just 11 games (178 carries), Turner managed to run for 871 yards and 10 TDs. He is in better shape than last year, which should serve him well. He also should avoid overuse thanks to Jason Snelling's performance last year when Turner was out.

 

Roddy White —Tony Gonzalez's arrival did not prevent Roddy from putting up a fantastic season (85-1,153-11). He has averaged 85 catches for 1,246 yards and eight TDs over the past three years.

 

 

Four-Star Fantasy Options

Matt Ryan —Ryan threw more TDs (22 compared to 16) last year, but was down elsewhere (2,916 yards, 58.3 completion percentage, 80.9 rating compared to 3,440, 61.1, 87.7). I expect him to continue to develop into one of the game's best QBs (both in fantasy and in reality) in his third season.

 

Tony Gonzalez —He's 34, but showing no signs of slowing down. Last year he caught 83 passes for 867 yards and six TDs. With Turner and White commanding so much attention, Gonzo should turn in another solid year.

 

 

Three-Star Fantasy Options

None

 

 

Two-Star Fantasy Options

Jason Snelling —Snelling filled in admirably for Turner last year running for 613 yards on 142 carries (4.3 YPC) with four TDs. He is the primary handcuff to Turner.

Falcons Defense/Special Teams —The Falcons weren't particularly strong at producing sacks or turnovers last year. They can be used when their matchups are favorable.

 

 

One-Star Fantasy Option

Jerious Norwood —Norwood is a change-of-pace RB that tends to get hurt about every third time he touches the ball. In all seriousness, he's only a viable option if Turner goes down and his workload is increased.

Michael Jenkins —Jenkins only topped 45 yards on five occasions last year. He managed 50 catches for 635 yards and a score, but you can't rely on that 40 yards per game average.

Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills are a professional American football team based in Buffalo, New York. They play their home games in the suburb of Orchard Park, and since 2008 have played one home game per season in Toronto. They are members of the Eastern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Bills began competitive play in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League and joined the NFL as part of the AFL-NFL merger.

The Bills won two consecutive American Football League titles in 1964 and 1965, but the club has not won a league championship since the merger. Buffalo is also the only team to win four consecutive American Football Conference Championships -- and the only team ever to play in four consecutive Super Bowl games. Since the NFL's expansion to 32 teams in 2002 the Bills are the only AFC non-expansion team to not make the playoffs.^{[citation needed]}

The Bills were named as the result of the winning entry in a local contest, which named the team after the AAFC Buffalo Bills, a previous football franchise from the All-America Football Conference that merged with the Cleveland Browns in 1950. That team, in turn, was named after William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody. The Bills' cheerleaders are known as the Buffalo Jills. The official mascot is Billy Buffalo.

The Bills conduct summer training camp at St. John Fisher College in Pittsford, New York, a suburb of Rochester.

They are the only NFL team to play their home games within New York State. Both the New York Jets and the New York Giants play in East Rutherford, New Jersey, near New York City. On October 2, 2005, the Bills played the New Orleans Saints in the first NFL regular-season game held in San Antonio, Texas. With the inception of the 5-year Bills Toronto Series deal in 2008 that is good through 2012, they are also the only team to play a home game in Canada. The franchise has tremendous support in the Western New York region.

On January 4, 2010 the Bills informed their entire coaching staff that they were free to seek employment with other teams, in an effort to renew and revitalize the struggling organization. On January 19, 2010, the Bills named Chan Gailey as their next head coach.

Super Bowl may delay N.J.’s growth in gambling

     New Jersey's successful bid to host the 2014 Super Bowl at the Meadowlands may put two prominent gaming proposals — sports betting and racetrack slot machines — on the state's back burner, depending on potential opposition from the National Football League.

    State lawmakers decided at the last minute to postpone a scheduled May 20 Senate vote on legalizing sports betting through a public referendum. A federal ban would also have to be changed before sports betting could become a reality.

    Some lawmakers said that the delayed vote, coming five days before the National Football League announced that New Jersey's nearly-built Meadowlands stadium would host the 2014 Super Bowl, showed officials wanted to avoid sparring with the NFL, which opposes wagering on sports results.

   "I think it's pretty clear that was a factor," said Assemblyman Vincent Polistina, R-Atlantic, a district where Atlantic City casinos would benefit from gaining the ability to handle sports wagers. That vote has been rescheduled for June 10.

Now lawmakers and industry observers wonder whether other gaming changes will experience a Super Bowl-related delay.

     Advisers to Gov. Chris Christie  are scheduled to reocommend proposals to boost state revenue from gaming, racing and sports assets by June 30.

      Christie has not yet decided whether to sign on to a state lawsuit looking to challenge the ban. The suit has been filed in federal court by Democratic state Senator Ray Lesniak, D-Union, who also practices as an attorney.

Jon F. Hanson, who heads the Governor's Advisory Committee on Gaming, Sports and Entertainment,  refused to discuss  efforts to overturn  the federal ban on  sports betting.

"I'm not going to talk about sports betting," he said.

Asked if the NFL had expressed an opinion about allowing gaming at the Meadowlands site, and whether those opinions would be heard, Hanson said, "Next question."

Hanson later stressed the Super Bowl was "a huge positive" for the Meadowlands, which he said fit the goal of "creating an entertainment complex there."

While sports betting remains illegal in most states without a change in federal law, state lawmakers from northern New Jersey have repeatedly suggested expanding gaming outside Atlantic City, first by introducing video-lottery terminals — a form of slot machine — and eventually allowing a casino at the Meadowlands.

If a Meadowlands casino proposal were included in the advisory committee's recommendations, one gaming analyst  noted that the NFL could well end up holding its banner event adjacent to a gambling resort.  The NFL has repeatedly reiterated its long-standing policy against mixing gambling and football.

Geoff Miller, a spokesman for the NFL, said the league currently had no public stance on whether or not VLTs could operate at the Meadowlands before the Super Bowl.

"As long as it has nothing to do with gambling on sports games, the league does not have a position on it," Miller said.

Super Bowl crowds at the new Meadowlands Stadium, the newly-constructed venue in East Rutherford that beat out Miami and Tampa to host football's biggest event, will likely mean horse-racing fans have to settle for fewer race-days at the adjacent Meadowlands racetrack, according to Tom Luchento, president of the Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association of New Jersey, which advocates for the horse-racing industry.

Luchento said he wanted to see the governor's advisers give their approval to sports betting and also to installing VLTs in time for the tournament.

Horse owners, breeders and riders may otherwise suffer, he said: "Without the gaming, we're out quite a lot, because they'll probably hold off on racing if they decide to avoid the extra traffic."

The proposal to allow VLTs outside Atlantic City's gaming resort has been hailed by supporters of horse racing as a way to reduce racing's reliance on state subsidies. Detractors of VLTs claim the slots cannot appear outside the resort without altering the state's constitution.

But a gaming analyst said Tuesday that the Super Bowl's arrival, four years in the future, effectively postpones discussion of adding video-lottery terminals to the Meadowlands Race Course.

"I'd say the news puts off the whole question of gaming at the Meadowlands until after 2014," said Israel Posner, a gaming analyst with Richard Stockton College in Galloway Township. "I wouldn't give it a snowball's chance in hell before then."

The league has campaigned repeatedly against states looking to overturn the federal sports-betting ban, which came into force in 1992, but which grandfathered in four states, Delaware, Montana, Nevada and Oregon. Timothy McDonough, a longtime mayor of Hope Township in Warren County, represented the NFL during a public hearing on New Jersey sports-betting, held in Atlantic City this April.

But the league also seeks to prevent anyone with a stake in an NFL team from owning an interest in a gambling casino.

John Samerjan, a spokesman for the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, said that the new Meadowlands Stadium had been built to become the home of two football team franchises, the Giants and the Jets. "We only staff it and are here to provide support," he said of the NJSEA's involvement.
