Up to this point, we have avoided targeting the real stars of today’s NFL — the pass catchers. So, to all the gun-slinging divas and sticky-gloved jockeys out there, this is your week.

Veteran TE Greg Olsen is heading to the Panthers in a trade from the Bears. Terms of the deal are unknown at this time.

Veteran TE Ben Hartsock has agreed to terms on a two-year deal with the Panthers, according to a league source.

Based on the current state of things around the NFL, it’s tough to find any news that has major fantasy significance (sigh). So when several coaches and other organizational leaders discussed the state of their teams during the annual Owners Meetings, you can only imagine how quickly I jumped on the information.

Jeremy Shockey isn’t about to re-emerge into an elite fantasy tight end, but his value does rise as a member of the Panthers.

Saints TE Jimmy Graham is going to have some serious sleeper value in fantasy drafts next season.

Saints RB Pierre Thomas, WR Marques Colston and TE Jeremy Shockey have been ruled out of Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Buccaneers.

The Saints can be thankful for this: Reggie Bush is back.

A quick recap at some of the notable injuries around the league in Week 9.

Saints TE Jeremy Shockey left Sunday’s game against the Panthers with a rib injury and is questionable to return.

Yeah, right. Brett Favre will play for the Vikings in 2010. I don’t believe America has been this united on a subject since we unanimously agreed that the ending of “The Sopranos” was really lame.

Miami TE Jimmy Graham was helped in the pre-draft process by former Hurricane Jeremy Shockey, and now he will get to play with Shockey in New Orleans.

The next top tight end prospect out of Miami, Jimmy Graham, does not figure to reach first-round status, but after an impressive Senior Bowl week, he could really fly up boards with an outstanding combine and his Hurricane brethren are doing all they can to help him.

The scene on the field in the immediate moments following Super Bowl XLIV was one of jubilation.

Drew Brees was perfect on the Saints last scoring drive, completing all seven of his attempts on the drive to seven different receivers.
