NFL News / Run DMC in the Rain the Key Against KC« on: December 16, 2012, 12:39:41 PM »
The following article is a guest blog by ProFSL's partner, NFLWeather.com. What fantasy football implications may come from the conditions in this game?
Just because playoff hopes died weeks ago doesn’t mean any love will be lost between the ![]() NFLWeather.com forecasts a 40% chance of precipitation with mostly cloudy skies for Sunday’s kickoff. Temperatures should top out around 58 with a swirling southern wind around 6 mph. Gloomy conditions for a gritty game. But poor conditions don’t play to the Chiefs favor. According to the NFLWeather.com Historical Analytics, they’re 0-2 in their last two road rain games and lost in light rain to the Raiders inside the Oakland Coliseum back in 2010. Meanwhile, Oakland is 2-0 at home in their previous two outings in poor conditions. And there’s a very good chance little will change. Still slightly recovering from his ankle but slowly getting back to his old self, Darren McFadden will be the cause of much pain for the KC defense. Having ran for 114 yards on 29 carries against them in October, numbers like that should expect to be replicated against a unit that gives up over 120 yards per game. But a soggy surface might wear on that ankle if he starts slipping making deep plants while cutting. But as reliable as McFadden is when he’s healthy, if Carson Palmer continues throwing costly interceptions it won’t matter how well the Raiders do on the ground. Even though Palmer has put up impressive offensive numbers, the turnovers have been killer. And with a lingering rainstorm this should force a heavier emphasis on the rushing attack with a receiving corps that’s had trouble catching balls all year that aren’t even wet. Like Palmer and the Raiders, the Chiefs fate lies in the hands of a quarterback and his decision-making. Brady Quinn has only two touchdowns and five interceptions to his name and the only was KC can pull out a win is if he can improve upon that dismal ration. But without Dwayne Bowe, the Chiefs aerial assault will be completely nonexistent. That means only one thing, roughly 30 carries going straight into the hands of Jamaal Charles. He’s built for a game like this, a grind it out in the mud and fight for every inch style outing. Even though the Raiders surrender over 130 yards per game, the D stymied KC into only 49 rushing yards. But averaging just under 150 yards per game, the Chiefs will relentlessly run straight at the Raiders and eventually they’ll find some holes. Now there is one thing both teams are fighting for, the first pick in the spring draft. But just because they’re close to that coveted top spot, plenty of players and coaches have their jobs on the line leaving much to be had from this division matchup. Two teams with a combined 5-21 record will typically give the impression of a melancholy matchup, but not this one in the Black Hole. 154

NFL News / Must Bench Jay Cutler? Here's his stat line against GB...« on: December 16, 2012, 11:31:38 AM »
Jay Cutler's last game against the Packers? Here is the stat line: 11 out of 27 for 126 passing yards with one TD and four interceptions. Green Bay's secondary could be suspect but Cutler is likely a must bench for your fantasy team.

What if you could own shares of multiple teams and win money based on their performance and improvement? What if you could play in a 30-team league with deep rosters for free (have someone else as the financial owner)? We have four copies of the same type of 30-team redraft franchise-style league. Essentially, the entry fees go up by a multiple in each league. Entry fees vary per team based on the final regular season standing of actual teams last season.
The better you do in the league, the more you can win. Even if you took over the worst team and just improved its standing year-over-year, you will win money as a result. You can navigate to links to each of the four leagues and read through the rules at the Park Series home page. Trading is already going on in these leagues, but your team must have been paid in order to take a GM seat. Feel free to reply if you have any questions. 159

MLB News / Reds-Indians-Diamondbacks have blockbuster trade!« on: December 12, 2012, 01:13:21 AM »
ProFSL's Jonathan reports big three-team deal...
The Deal ![]() Shin Soo Choo OF ( ![]() Jason Donald IF ( ![]() ![]() Trevor Bauer SP ( ![]() Drew Stubbs OF ( ![]() RHP Matt Albers ( ![]() RHP Bryan Shaw ( ![]() ![]() Didi Gregorious SS ( ![]() Tony Sipp RP ( ![]() Lars Anderson 1B ( ![]() ![]() They did good to get a great leadoff hitter and some more power for Great American Ballpark. They also got rid of Stubbs, which I consider addition by subtraction. Jason David is a MI utility type of player. The question really comes down to Choo playing in CF, something he has only done one game since 07. I think he does fine, one of the better OF arms in the game and is fast. They lose Didi, who was a great defensive SS, who was a level up on Hamilton, their super-prospect. Choo is going to be a FA and isn't signing anywhere before testing the market, so this looks like a deal that will end up putting Hamilton as the everyday CF come start of 2014. ![]() ![]() |
