• Fantasy Football Notes - Pittsburgh Steelers

  The Pittsburgh Steelers were solid as usual in 2007, winning games and making it to the playoffs with stifling defense and a less-than-usual conservative offense under first-year coach Mike Tomlin . Offensively, the Steelers flashed some new formations... Read More...

• Fantasy Football Notes - Oakland Raiders

  Oh, how the mighty have fallen. What was once considered a very proud organization, finding its energy through Raider Nation, now finds itself on a downward spiral in which they still haven’t been able to recover.

• Fantasy Football Notes - New York Jets

  After coming off an impressive 10-6 campaign in 2006, everyone thought the New York Jets would compete with the New England Patriots for the AFC East title, but inconsistency on both sides of the football led to a disappointing 2007 season. The Jets finished... Read More...

• Fantasy Football Notes - New York Giants

  Up until their amazing playoff run, capped by Eli's escape and David Tyree's miracle grab, the New York Giants ' 2007 season was a solid, but not spectacular one.

• Fantasy Football Notes - New England Patriots

  Full Disclosure: I (Joel Stubblefield) hate the New England Patriots . I’m not sure why, but the overall smugness of the entire organization is really annoying to me. So what can be said about the 2007 season for the New England Patriots that hasn’t already... Read More...

• Fantasy Football Notes - Minnesota Vikings

  Until the arrival of Adrian Peterson , the Minnesota Vikings could be referred to collectively as a fantasy football wasteland.

• Fantasy Football Notes - Jacksonville Jaguars

  There's no doubt about it. What made the Jacksonville Jaguars go in 2007 were the legs of running backs, Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew . While the passing game mired in mediocrity, ranking 17th in the league, Taylor and Jones-Drew led a running... Read More...

• Fantasy Football Notes - Houston Texans

• Fantasy Football Notes - Green Bay Packers

  On the strength of Brett Favre’s last hurrah (so we are led to believe), many Green Bay Packers found themselves on fantasy championship teams in 2007. The silver-haired picture of indecisiveness threw for the third most yards (4,155) of his storied 17... Read More...
