The fantasy value of Titans WR Kenny Britt could skyrocket soon … if the team adds a veteran quarterback this summer.

Almost there. We’re just two days away from the spring’s biggest sporting event (Stanley Cup, NBA Finals? Ugh.) In a couple more nights we’ll all be seeing how far a certain (iconic?) quarterback falls, if Chan the man (Gailey, of course) is comfortable with an Ivy Leaguer under center, and what the two Johns (Fox and Elway) do in the two-hole.

Ravens safety Tom Zbikowski improved to 2-0 after securing a first-round knockout of Richard Bryant on March 12. And Zbikowski has signed up for two more fights, too. So we turned to NFL Network’s Bob Papa — who in addition to be a top NFL analyst calls boxing for HBO and during the Summer Olympics — to get the scoop.
So how about it, just how legit is Zbikowksi?

The Raiders have parted ways with guard Robert Gallery, who was regarded as one of the bigger draft disappointments in Raiders history. But was he the biggest?

Pulling in a couple of fantasy thoughts from the Twitterverse:
Posted: Wednesday, December 1st, 2010 | Adam Rank Tags: Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, Chad Ochocinco, Detroit Lions, Drew Stanton, Johnny Knox, Mike Wallace, Shaun Hill, Stevie Johnson, Wes Welker
The Lions will start Drew Stanton at quarterback vs. the Bears, and while the former Michigan State Spartan will not draw any interest in fantasy circles, he certainly could impact one of the best receivers, Calvin Johnson. Megatron continued to produce big numbers with QB Shaun Hill, but can you really trust him to do the same with Stanton?

Here is the list of running backs who are better — fantasy wise — than Bears RB Matt Forte.
Posted: Sunday, November 7th, 2010 | Adam Rank Tags: Andre Johnson, Arian Foster, Calvin Johnson, Houston Texans, Matt Schaub
The Texans are running the ball against the Chargers at almost a two-to-one clip of rushes to passes. And then to add insult to no statistics, Texans QB Matt Schaub goes looking for RB Arian Foster in the red zone.

Lions WR Calvin Johnson continues to amaze. The player known as “Megatron” has scored seven touchdowns in his last four games, and is doing it with a bum shoulder.
