The Chiefs are making a nice cinderella story in the NFL this year. Tyler Thigpen
comes out of obscurity to already be tagged as the Chiefs starting QB
next year. Sure there'll be an open competition for the job with Brodie Croyle and Damon Huard
but the job is Thigpen's to lose and he's far ahead of the pack right
now. While the fantasy world is gushing about him, he did complete just
50% of his passes last week so it's not all perfect yet and there is
room for Thigpen to fall flat on his face still. However, a promising
start for the young Chief and we look forward to seeing more from him. Larry Johnson
will struggle getting yards on the ground but he will get the tough
yards. If you have a 'tough yards' scoring category then get LJ in!

Week 11 Targets Brad Gillespie, Fantasy Football Staff Writer Nov 20, 2008
A look at the intended targets for the wide receivers and tight ends from Week 11.
Only two weeks until fantasy playoffs begin. If you haven't already, it's a good time to review the schedules of your roster in Weeks 14-17 to see how you match up. There are still plenty of Shaun Hill's and Justin Gage's on the waiver wire. Start digging.
Thomas Jones, N.Y. Jets (at Tennessee): Forget about Brett Favre, Jones has been the key to success for the Jets as of late. Jones rushed for over 100 yards for the fourth time this season last week including his fourth straight week with a rushing TD. While the Titans run defense has been good this year, their pass defense has been even better. Look for Jones to once again be the catalyst that keeps the Jets in the game against the undefeated Titans.
My two main picks in the Dolphins and Panthers both won last week.
Miami came away with another close win against an inferior opponent, but got the job done in the end. My third option, the Eagles, which I was wary of, tied the Bengals. This is an odd occurrence, but in most survivor pools, it should be counted as an elimination since they did not advance. I continue to stress to beware of the road teams! Abide by the rules and you should stay alive. There are just six weeks left in the regular season so check out my Week 12 analysis …
The guys are back for 2008 - running down the top 3 players at each position for the week, how they think they'll do this week, and the top headlines of the past week. It's a dose of fantasy info mixed with a dash of fun.
Weather can
dominate an NFL contest like the nothing else. Being a playoff-caliber
team and challenging for your title means that you must check the
weather reports to ensure that your starts are the right ones. A
defense in a monsoon- or mud-covered field can be your best friend,
while a receiver in the same game can be a disastrous mistake.
This week is the All-American matchup against your college roommate.
What do you do? You pray a little and you hope a little. The bragging rights could go on and on if come out a loser.
Week 11 in Review Steve Rudy, Jr., Fantasy Football Staff Writer Nov 17, 2008
Welcome to the Week in Review column on FantasySharks.com in which I will be discussing the previous week’s NFL action. This article highlights the best and worst performers of the week, along with some other vital fantasy advice and information. So strap yourself in and enjoy the season.
DeAngelo Williams
and Jonathan Stewart had huge days against the 0-10 Detroit Lions.
Williams had 14 carries for 120 yards and two TD’s, while the rookie
Stewart piled up 130 yards on 15 carries with one touchdown. That many
yards (250) on the ground from two guys is very impressive and that
kind of production should be similar next week against Atlanta>.
