Adam Ronis BY ADAM RONIS Derek Anderson's season is officially over as he was placed on injured reserve with a torn MCL in his left knee. He doesn't need surgery. Kellen Winslow Jr. has a high ankle sprain and will not play in Week 14. he had an MRI today. He will wear a walking boot for up to a week. Steve Heiden and Martin Rucker will see time at tight end. All the Browns are a risky play with Ken Dorsey at quarterback.]]> tag:weblogs.newsday.com,2008:/sports/fantasy/baseball//249.146990 2008-12-01T07:21:22Z 2008-12-01T19:10:18Z

Adam Ronis BY ADAM RONIS Carmelo Anthony left Sunday's game with a right elbow injury. He has been bothered by the elbow and had x-rays on it last week. He has not been shooting well this season. J.R. Smith played 29 minutes and had 19 points, five three's, five rebounds and four assists. He has been so up and down, Great Adventure might name a roller coaster after him. He and Linas Kleiza would likely see an increase in minutes if Anthony misses time. Anthony said he will play through the injury. 4 p.m. show covering football and baseball Here is the show from 12:30 a.m. covering fantasy basketball. ]]> tag:weblogs.newsday.com,2008:/sports/fantasy/baseball//249.146989 2008-12-01T06:26:02Z 2008-12-01T18:46:38Z

Adam Ronis BY ADAM RONIS I keep waiting for the Chargers to have a big week and make a run in a bad division. After their performance against the Falcons, I doubt it will happen. They put forth an atrocious performance at home with the season at stake gaining only 201 total yards. Phillip Rivers went 17 of 30 for 149 yards. LaDainian Tomlinson had just 24 yards on 14 carries and scored a TD. He had five catches for 42 yards. Malcolm Floyd had five catches for 59 yards as the rest of the Chargers wideouts were quiet. Vincent Jackson had no catches and Chris Chambers had one catch for 2 yards. Antonio Gates had 3 catches for 27 yards. Matt Ryan had a good day against a team that is one of the worst against the pass. He went 17 of 23 for 207 yards with 2 TDs. Michael Turner faced his former team and had 31 carries for 120 yards. Roddy White had six catches for 112 yards. Michael Jenkins had one catch for 22 yards. Harry Douglas had three catches for 13 yards with a TD. He should only be owned in very deep leagues. White and Jenkins are still the primary receivers. I didn't think Matt Cassel was a good play against the Steelers. I know he put up huge numbers the last two games, but it came against the Jets and Dolphins, who are both bad against the pass. The Steelers are ranked No. 1 on defense and are very physical. They forced Cassel into four turnovers. Cassel went 19 of 39 for 169 yards with 0 TDs and 2 INTs and fumbled twice. The weather was bad and not conducive for the passing game, but I am not confident to play Cassel against elite defenses. Willie Parker had 16 carries for 87 yards. Mewelde Moore had 12 carries for 67 yards and two catches for 9 yards. Sammy Morris had 10 carries for 45 yards with a TD. Kevin Faulk had six carries for 73 yards and seven catches for 48 yards. Larry Johnson had 24 carries for 92 yards with a TD. Justin Fargas had 18 carries for 82 yards with a TD. The Raiders need to get Darren McFadden the ball more. He had seven carries for 13 yards and three catches for 50 yards. Zach Miller still puts up solid numbers with no quarterback. He had five catches for 79 yards. The Raiders cornerbacks shut down the Chiefs wide receivers and Tony Gonzalez took advantage with 8 catches for 110 yards. Jay Cutler went 27 of 43 for 357 yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT. Peyton Hillis had 22 carries for 129 yards with a TD. Even if Selvin Young should still be involved in the offense. No other running back had a carry. Tony Scheffler has been slowed by injuries and he bounced back with 7 catches for 90 yards. Eddie Royal had five catches for 84 yards with a TD. Brett Favre didn't play well. He couldn't even throw a TD in garbage time. He went 23 of 43 for 247 yards with 0 TDs and 1 INT. Thomas Jones had 138 yards on just 16 carries with 2 TDs. Matt Forte continues to impress. He had 22 carries for 96 yards and four catches for 29 yards with a TD. Adrian Peterson looked excellent against the Bears gaining 131 yards on 28 carries with a TD. Devin Hester had three catches for 67 yards with a TD. Bernard Berrian had four catches for 122 yards, including a 99-yard TD to tie an NFL record. 4 p.m. show covering football and baseball Here is the show from 12:30 a.m. covering fantasy basketball. ]]> tag:weblogs.newsday.com,2008:/sports/fantasy/baseball//249.146930 2008-11-30T22:38:02Z 2008-12-01T18:48:39Z

Adam Ronis BY ADAM RONIS It was one of the worst performances for Peyton Manning in weeks and one of the worst outings for the Colts offense, which failed to score an offensive TD for the first time in quite some time. He went 15 of 21 for 125 yards with 0 TDs and 2 INTs. He'll be fine. The Bengals and Lions are next. Hard to have any confidence in Derek Anderson. He went 16 of 26 for 110 yards and left the game late with an apparent MCL injury. He is likely done for the season and Ken Dorsey would be his replacement. That isn't good news for those who are owners of any Browns players. Kellen Winslow injured his ankle and didn't return. He was in a walking boot after the game and is scheduled to have an MRI Monday. Joe Flacco 19 of 29 for 280 yards with 2 TDs. He is playing real well. Mark Clayton had five catches for 164 yards with a TD and threw a 32-yard TD. He's too inconsistent to rely on. Derrick Mason had six catches for 91 yards with a TD. LeRon McClain had 25 carries for 86 yards and was the primary back for the second straight game. Ray Rice had 11 carries for 41 yards. Willis McGahee didn't get a carry. That means a 100-yard day next week because this backfield is hard to figure. Chad Johnson had four catches for 45 yards and dropped a few passes. Tough to rely on him in the fantasy playoffs. Chad Pennington couldn't take advantage of a poor defense. He went 13 of 23 for 166 yards. Neither could the Dolphins running backs. Ronnie Brown had 15 carries for 48 yards with a TD and Ricky Williams had 12 carries for 58 yards and sprained his ankle late in the game. Devone Bess had six catches for 84 yards. He should be owned in most leagues. Finally, Steven Jackson made his return. He will be a huge boost for those that own him these last few weeks. He had 21 carries for 94 yards and one catch for 16 yards. He didn't play late in the game. Jim Haslett said Jackson was gassed and his leg was hurting. Marc Bulger still struggled despite the return of Jackson. He went 16 of 35 for 149 yards with three interceptions. Donnie Avery didn't have a catch. Shaun Hill went 14 of 23 for 161 yards with a TD. He has some good matchups the next few weeks. Trent Edwards went 10 of 21 for 112 yards and left with a groin injury. Frank Gore rushed for 66 yards on 24 carries and had three catches for 23 yards. Marshawn Lynch had 16 carries for 134 yards. Jake Delhomme continues to struggle. He went 12 of 17 for 177 yards and rushed for a TD. He finally got the ball to Steve Smith, who had four catches for 105 yards. Aaron Rodgers went 29 of 45 for 298 yards with 3 TDs and 1 INT. DeAngelo Williams had 21 carries for 72 yards with 4 TDs and three catches for 19 yards. Jonathan Stewart had four carries for 58 yards. Ryan Grant had 12 carries for 39 yards and missed the entire second half with a hand injury. Brandon Jackson had 11 carries for 80 yards filling in for Grant. He should be owned in deeper leagues and all leagues if Grant misses time. Greg Jennings had nine catches for 91 yards with a TD. Donald Driver had five catches for 83 yards with a TD. Reggie Bush returned from injury and had three carries for 0 yards and five catches for 32 yards. He should get more touches, but Pierre Thomas will still be involved. He rushed 11 times for 34 yards and had a 20-yard TD reception. Marques Colston had six catches for 106 yards. Lance Moore had just two catches for 15 yards with a TD. Antonio Bryant had three catches for 63 yards with a TD. Warrick Dunn had 24 carries for 74 yards. Cadillac Williams had four carries for 20 yards with a TD. Williams looked good on his 8-yard TD run, but Dunn should get most of the carries. Williams is an option in deep leagues and for those that own Dunn in more shallow leagues. Drew Brees went 25 of 47 for 296 yards with 2 TDs and 3 INTs. Dropped passes and rain hurt the Saints. The Giants have become more of a passing team the last few weeks and Eli Manning eclipsed 300 yards for the first time this season. He went 21 of 34 for 305 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT. Jason Campbell just isn't a reliable fantasy quarterback. He went 23 of 38 for 232 yards with 0 TDs and 1 INT. The offense is boring and rarely goes down field. Brandon Jacobs had 21 carries for 71 yards with a TD. Clinton Portis had just 11 carries for 22 yards. Domenik Hixon had five catches for 71 yards and should be owned in all leagues with the status of Plaxico Burress uncertain. 4 p.m. show covering football and baseball Here is the show from 12:30 a.m. covering fantasy basketball. ]]> tag:weblogs.newsday.com,2008:/sports/fantasy/baseball//249.146772 2008-11-28T21:40:26Z 2008-11-30T05:52:41Z

Adam Ronis BY ADAM RONIS EAGLES 48, CARDINALS 20 For those that buried Donovan McNabb, you took out the shovel prematurely. I thought he would have a good game against the Cardinals (check the 4 p.m. show below from yesterday). I can't believe how many people wrote him off in fantasy circles. He had two awful weeks, but was good for most of the season before that. He had a good matchup against a team that gives up a lot of yards and touchdowns through the air. He has a lot of pride and it wasn't easy for the Cardinals coming east after facing the Giants Sunday. McNabb rewarded faithful fantasy owners by going 27 of 39 for 260 yards with 4 TDs and 0 INTs. He looked very confident and also had four carries for 24 yards. Same with Brian Westbrook, suffering a myriad of injuries, and he had 22 carries for 110 yards with 2 TDs and three catches for 20 yards with 2 TDs. DeSean Jackson had six catches for 76 yards with a TD and Kevin Curtis had 5 catches for 59 yards. Kurt Warner threw three INTs, but still was solid in fantasy with 21-for-39 with 235 yards and 3 TDs. The Cardinals don't run much and gave up on the run early as they faced a big deficit. Tim Hightower had seven carries for 7 yards. Larry Fitzgerald had five catches for 65 yards with 2 TDs. Anquan Boldin had five catches for 63 yards with a fumble and Steve Breaston had six catches for 45 yards with a TD. TITANS 47, LIONS 10 I think everyone saw this one coming. A lot of turkeys were carved up today and you can put the Lions defense in that category also. The Titans had struggled to run the ball the last three games and the Lions are a panacea. The Lions were absolutely abysmal and I just hope that I have several fantasy players on my team that face them in the postseason. (They face the Saints in Week 16. Could the Saints score 60?). The Titans rushed for 292 yards. Chris Johnson scored on his second carry of the game and the Lions just couldn't tackle. Johnson had 16 carries for 125 yards with 2 TDs and two catches for nine yards. Then LenDale White, coming off a 1-carry, minus-1 yard game, had plenty of carries to run out the clock. He had 23 carries for 106 yards with 2 TDs. The only complaint you'll hear from him after this week was there wasn't enough turkey. It was a good matchup for Kerry Collins, but the running game was so dominant, he didn't get many chances going 11 of 18 for 127 yards. Really nothing to highlight for the Lions. Kevin Smith has been solid, but the team fell behind quickly. He had 12 carries for 22 yards. Calvin Johnson had five catches for 66 yards and I only wonder what he would do on the Cardinals, Saints or Cowboys. COWBOYS 34, SEAHAWKS 9 Can someone please tell Jason Garrett that Marion Barber is one of the top backs in the league? The Cowboys continue to baffle me with their play calling. I predicted almost every play because they don't run the ball enough. They wait until the fourth quarter to run. Barber had just 10 carries for 32 yards with 1 TD and one catch for 13 yards before leaving with a toe injury. Tashard Choice is the backup and had 11 carries for 57 yards. If Barber misses time, Choice will be the feature back. At least Tony Romo looks healthy. He went 22 of 34 for 331 yards with 3 TDs and 1 INT, which was a terrible decision as he threw into double coverage. Nice of Jason Witten to show up this week. Unfortunately, it was one week too late for me in one of my leagues. He had nine catches for 115 yards with a TD. Terrell Owens had five catches for 98 yards with a TD. Martellus Bennett caught another TD pass and had two catches for 35 yards. Matt Hasselbeck hung in there despite getting seven sacks. He went 22 of 38 for 287 yards with 1 INT. The team just couldn't convert in the red zone. Welcome home JJ. Julius Jones didn't burn his former team gaining just 37 yards on 11 carries and fumbled. Hope you didn't rush to acquire Maurice Morris, who had six carries for 10 yards and three catches for 23 yards. John Carlson is a very good tight end. He had six catches for 105 yards. 4 p.m. show covering football and baseball Here is the show from 12:30 a.m. covering fantasy basketball. ]]> tag:weblogs.newsday.com,2008:/sports/fantasy/baseball//249.146531 2008-11-26T22:32:42Z 2008-11-26T22:37:19Z
