QUARTERBACKS
START ‘EM
Carson Palmer (at MIA): After four games in some ugly weather, Palmer is looking forward to playing in South Florida. It doesn’t hurt that he’s facing the Dolphins either since Miami’s secondary is decimated with injuries. The Dolphins might be No. 4 in pass defense, but they are among the league leaders with 25 [...]
QUARTERBACKS
START ‘EM
Donovan McNabb (at NO): McNabb appears to thrive when he’s in some sort of controversy or being scrutinized, and this latest snafu with a FOX sideline reporter about what he said or didn’t say regarding his future could be all the motivation he needs. It also helps that he’s facing one of the worst [...]
Brett Favre became the NFL career leader in yards passing Sunday, overtaking Dan Marino for his latest achievement in a milestone season.
The 38-year-old Favre, a three-time NFL MVP, pulled to within 1 yard of Marino with a 44-yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings when he caught the Rams in a blitz. That put the Green [...]
QUARTERBACKS — START ‘EM
Carson Palmer (at SF): Fantasy owners are concerned about Palmer’s recent play, and they have a legitimate gripe. In his past two games, Palmer has passed for less than 190 yards in each game with no touchdowns and two interceptions. He hasn’t been that bad since early in his career in 2004. [...]
Head coach Bobby Petrino’s resignation Tuesday is another Falcons embarrassment in a year full of them. Atlanta hired Petrino away from Louisville in January despite his NFL inexperience and the recent failings of ballyhooed college coaches who have tried making the transition like Nick Saban, Steve Spurrier and Butch Davis.
Petrino recently said “all his plans” [...]
Nashville, TN — Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher took offense to claims by the San Diego Chargers that he ordered a “hit” on star linebacker Shawne Merriman during Sunday’s game.
Merriman suffered a sprained ligament in his left knee against the Titans and will miss this Sunday’s game against the Lions. Merriman said teammates told him [...]
Bears coach Lovie Smith said Monday that Kyle Orton will start for the club at Minnesota in Week 15. Rex Grossman is out with a sprained PCL and Brian Griese will be the backup.
Orton has spent the 2006 season as the No. 3/emergency QB but was the team’s starter as a rookie for 15 games, [...]
The New Orleans Saints listed running back Reggie Bush among their inactives for Week 14 at Atlanta, and The Times-Picayune reports that he’ll miss the rest of the season after Dr. James Andrews confirmed the earlier diagnosis of a torn posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, according to a league source with knowledge of [...]
Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison Monday for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy that involved gambling and killing pit bulls.
The suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback could have been sentenced up to five years by U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson. Vick, who turned himself in Nov. 19 in anticipation of his sentence, [...]
QUARTERBACKS
START ‘EM
Drew Brees (at ATL): Brees has cooled off a little recently following a nice stretch from October to November. He has five interceptions in his past four games with no 300-yard outings. But this is a favorable matchup for him. He has four touchdowns and one interception in his past two games against the [...]
