The first round of the 2010 NFL Draft is in the books and 32 players have new homes with NFL teams. Which of the eight skill position talents drafted in the first round could help your fantasy team next season? Here’s CPR’s list of the best skill players from the opening night of the draft with a look to the 2010 season.
1. Ryan Matthews RB | San Diego
It was clear that the Chargers would be targeting a running back in this year’s draft after parting ways withLaDainian Tomlinson last year, and they did just that by trading up in [...]

It’s Friday, and we are one day away from another Fantasy CPR Live on The Fantasy Sports Channel. This Week we are joined by Ben Standig of FFToolbox. Ben and I will break down this week’s action with a fantasy perspective.

This is make or break. Championship or Toilet Bowl. For some Fantasy Football owners, this is their first chance to rebound from a horrible start. For others, this is the week where the downfall begins. Week four of the Fantasy and NFL season is the start of bye weeks, big time injuries, waiver wire masters, draft day blunders and most importantly the calming of the storm. Most owners are going to start relaxing at this point. Those who are 3-0, Owners who seem to never catch a break, Fantasy Football fanatics with 30 teams will forget to check 15 of [...]

Willie Parker and the Steeler running game may have found some life even though the team lost.
Andre Caldwell might be worth a waiver-wire look for Cincy. Chris Henry seems to be struggling with an injury.
Perhaps Braylon Edwards can resurrect things with Derek Anderson, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
The Ravens keep producing plenty of points. Keep an eye on receiver Kelley Washington.
The Patriots need Wes Welker back to energize their offense. And Tom Brady seems to be struggling on deep balls.
Oakland made a mistake when it got rid of Jeff Garcia. I think the offense would be better with his [...]

86. Carson Palmer, Cincinnati, QB
Full disclosure:  I’m a huge Bengals fan. So I might be a bit biased, but I think Carson Palmer is poised for a huge year. If he stays healthy – and that might be a problem considering he’ll start the season with an ankle sprain – he’s in great shape fantasy-wise. The Bengals have rededicated receivers Chad Ochocinco and Chris Henry as targets, along with new acquisition Laveranues Coles. Those are three pretty good receivers and Palmer is an elite QB when he’s upright. He’s a good value pick this year.
87. Steelers Defense
There’s no reason to [...]

The Wide Receiver position in fantasy football in a lot of ways is like former pop star Madonna. Though it might not be the biggest position in the fantasy football gridiron, it has definitely solitified it’s role in the fantasy football jungle by having it’s own created image and sticking with it. Though some Receivers will be reaches, like Madonna and JT’s Four Minutes, you know what you are getting for the most part. Madonna will never be the pop star that Michael Jackson was. Larry Fitzgerald will never bring as much fantasy value to the table as Adrian Peterson. [...]
