Okay I can understand that ESPN, SI, Fox Sports Net, and the rest of these dudes are all biased against the Skins but this is truly too far. Im lookin at the stat projections for the Skins-Cards game and not only do they say "Santana Moss has proven he's not a number 1 reciever, but instead a solid #2", but they actually think Arizona's gonna beat us 26-23? WHAT IN THE HELLLLLLLLLL IS THIS MAN? I want to know who wrote this damn article so I can call for their head!
Redskins at Cardinals
4:15 (FOX), Sun Devil Stadium
Prediction: Cardinals 26, Redskins 23
Arizona
Washington Redskins
Pos. Player Analysis Prediction
QB Mark Brunell He's been ineffective. That, combined with Portis' strong play, could mean the Redskins heavily rely on the ground game this week. 190 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
RB Clinton Portis He shouldn't have any problems topping 100 yards against the Cards' poor run D. 110 yards, 1 TD
WR Santana Moss He's proven that's he's not a No. 1 receiver. He's a solid No. 2, though. 4 rec, 60 yards
WR Taylor Jacobs Has no value. 1 rec, 10 yards
TE Chris
ey Brunell loves throwing to him. He's become a legit weapon. 6 rec, 70 yards, 1 TD
K John Hall Redskins could keep him busy in the dessert. 3 FGs, 2 PATs
D Cards always collapse in the red zone and they can't run the ball. Still Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald are unstoppable, so don't expect lights-out stats.
Arizona Cardinals
Pos. Player Analysis Prediction
QB Kurt Warner He's been one of the best fantasy Qbs in the NFL. The Cards' inability to run the ball combined with the team having the best WR tandem in football make Warner a must-start every week. 320 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT
RB J.J. Arrington Has showed some signs of life, and is coming off a season-high 18-carry game. Don't expect much against a pretty good Redskins run D, but Arrington isn't a complete waste anymore. 50 yards
WR Anquan Boldin The Cards are putrid, but their Wrs are must-plays every week. 5 rec, 100 yards, 1 TD
WR Larry Fitzgerald See above. 7 rec, 100 yards, 1 TD
TE Eric Edwards Look elsewhere, unless you like one-catch tight ends. 1 rec, 10 yards
K Nick Novak With Arizona's troubles in the red zone, Novak, filling in for the injured Neil Rackers, becomes a weapon. 4 FGs, 2 PATs
D Redskins aren't a juggernaut, but Portis is always capable of going off.

i know absolutely nothing about fantasy football, but all i can possibly imagine is that they mean moss isn't a legit #1 on a "fantasy" team, because he hasn't been getting the yards lately?
otherwise, they are just proving that they are completely insane morons. not only has moss not CLEARLY proven all the pundits wrong who said he wouldn't work as a #1 WR, he has established himself as one of the most explosive WRs in the leage, probably one of the 5 best WRs overall!! that is without question.
anyone who knows ANYthing knows his numbers have only slipped because his QB has terribly regressed (back to playing like a 36 year old), and he has gotten absolutely NO help from other WRs (at least in terms of production-- many at the games have claimed to see jacobs open quite often, and i believe it), so defense constantly double or even triple team him. yet he STILL makes a few plays per game.
K John Hall Redskins could keep him busy in the dessert.
arizona is a
DESERT, not a sweet after-dinner treat!! that kind of mistake is absolutely inexcusable in a "professional" article. IDIOTS!

Hey it looks like they caught their typos, since the link is broken now. The source is trash, its SI which has Peter King as an expert and doesnt think Art Monk belongs in the Hall of Fame.

the link isn't broken, redskins4life just accidentally has the "quote" thing attached to it at the end- try this:

Exactly! Nick Novack isn't kicking either, Rackers is playing today!

This is even funnier! The Colts will lose to the Jaguars 28-21 (LOL) David Garrard will throw for 275 yards & 2 TD's & Manning 200 yards, 1 TD & 2 int.! Are they serious??

Fantasy or not, to even think this has got to mean you have been living under a rock for the last 3 months.

We all know nobody in the media likes us. I don't know why my friends, but it will take win after win to get their attention and praise, and after ONE loss, we'll have to earn it all back. It seems everytime we lose that the media says their is tons of problems with the team, certain guys suck, etc. I just think that were just one of those teams that's fun to hate because of past success, oh well, as long as we love our team! Hail.

Although I find them labeling Brunell as ineffective and calling Moss a #2 offensive, there predictions stat wise were right on.

I lost FOUR games last year on my fantasy team because I was dumb enough to take SI's advice. They almost cost me my play off spot. Fortunately, I realized that those guys are idiots before it was to late. Whenever they said that someone was going to have a bad game.....I started him. Whenever they said someone was going to have a good game......I benched him. I ended up winning the championship too!!!
