The past few weeks have been a rollercoaster ride for Josh Freeman. Freeman went from being the Buccaneers starting QB to inactive then released within 2 weeks. The breakup with the Bucs seemed to be very nasty, they leaked confidential information and personal emails. Even with today's state of social media I've never seen a team go this low to black ball a player they once drafted to be their franchise QB, I know this regime wasn't the ones to draft him but still.

We are in week 3 of the young NFL season and eight teams have started out 0-2. Two teams were in the playoffs just last season, while others are perennial division favorites that find themselves rebuilding or nursing some critical injuries on their roster. Then again, some of the teams are just that bad.

1. Washington Redskins - You could make the argument that their first two games was an extended preseason, since their best player RGIII has only played in two games back from surgery. The have been blown out the first half of both games, but seem to be able to put up points in the second half.

New Orleans: Defense in Big Easy? 
Sean Payton's return to the Big Easy reignited the Saints to a 23-17 Win v. Division Rival, & presumptive Super Bowl contender Atlanta. The offense remained dynamic & lethal in Payton's absence; and churned out 419 Yards on Sunday. It's Drew Brees' show, a big strike passing game that complements intermediate precision passing, and mixed in running opportunities. The true week 1 takeaway was the vastly improved Defensive performance. 

NFL Fantasy Football: Fantasy Sleeper Mike Williams

Fantasy owners tend not to win or lose because they made the right choice in the first or second round. It’s usually the mid- to late-rounds (along with smart strategic decisions) that distinguish a playoff contender from a toilet bowl honoree, and that’s where a fantasy favorite term gets thrown around—the sleeper.

Sleepers are generally those that are projected to be drafted late (say, the 50th wide receiver or the 12th quarterback) who are expected to outperform their projection significantly (to become around the 25th best receiver or 8th best quarterback).

Darrelle Revis Traded To The Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The New York Jets have decided to part ways with Darrell Revis. He has been traded to the Tampa Buccaneers for their 13th pick in the upcoming draft on April 25th  and a conditional 4th round pick in 2014.

Revis is seeking a new deal, but reportedly is happy with the trade to Tampa Bay. He is currently the highest paid defensive back in history.

Fantasy Football Midseason Report

by Ryan Henry

We have arrived at the halfway mark of this NFL season, and with it come a number of fantasy football booms and busts. Let’s take a look at what I got wrong, what I got right and who you should be targeting going forward.

Busts

Matthew Stafford has pretty universally disappointed fantasy owners. He went into the season as basically the consensus number 5 quarterback, and many had to spend a second round pick in order to get him. The hype surrounding Stafford was enormous.
