Despite talk that the 49ers QB job was open, Jim Harbaugh indicated that Alex Smith had the complete support of the organization.

Ben Roethlisberger is a game-time decision for the Steelers. Hopefully fantasy owners have a contingency plan ready.

Late game observations Tim Tebow doesn’t throw it often and doesn’t throw it particularly well. But when he does throw it, he’s throwing it to Eric Decker. Since Tebow became the starter, Decker has 15 catches for 261 yards and four touchdowns. Broncos receivers don’t have much value, but if you’re going to start one, it should be Decker. Of all the unwritten fantasy rules, here’s one more: Start Ryan Mathews against the Broncos. Mathews ran for 137 yards Sunday, his third career 100-yard game. All of them have come against Denver. Is there any receiver as frustrating as Vincent Jackson? For as talented as he is, the big wideout has had a maddening tendency to disappear in games. While he […]

Bears WR Roy Williams isn’t expected to play in the Week 2 matchup against the Saints, according to a team source.

Roy Williams has struggled in the preseason and may have to look out for Johnny Knox to start breathing down his neck.

Eagles WR Jeremy Maclin was supposed to be a potential breakout star in fantasy land. But a mysterious illness is causing some real concern.

Edmond Gates might be small-school, but he has the potential to be big-time in the NFL.

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?

There were a fair number of fantasy disappointments in the — what we on the West Coast call — the 10 a.m. games. And a number of them are now on ‘the list.’

The fantasy value of Greg Olsen took a tremendous hit once Mike Martz became the Bears offensive coordinator. Martz’s offenses use a tight end the same way that Tony Dungy uses blue language. So with Martz’s hiring, we lost a possible breakout fantasy tight end.

Or did we?

The Bears offense is like the sun. Use precaution, and you could get a nice warming glow. Move haphazardly, and you will end up burned.

Thomas Jones is listed ahead of Jamaal Charles on the Chiefs depth chart. How does that affect Charles’ fantasy value?

Can the Bears finally produce a 1,000-yard receiver this season?

The competition for targets in the Bears pass attack is one that fantasy leaguers need to watch in the weeks to come.
