  1. Just curious if you’re updating somewhere else, been checking back since this week 8 post because I really dug the clips and analysis, so I thought I’d drop a line and let you guys know I like what you do here. I was also curious what you thought about Tebow vs. the Vikings D this weekend (personally, I think he’ll crush). Also had a question… any advice for a good real-time stats tracker online? Last year I got the RedZone channel through my DISH Network service just to check it out as an employee but they have a great integrated Fantasy tracker, so I use that when I’m home to watch the games. However I sometimes work Sundays and am looking for a good place for updates and stuff like they have on RedZone. Anyway, love the blog, looking forward to a new post.

  2. Thanks elias! Glad to hear you're enjoying the site! We have moved to 360sportsnetwork.com, but everything else is the same.

    We actually are posting a DAILY football update, with lots of fantasy emphasis, called the Pigskin Blink. We're adding lots of content to better serve you, the fan!

    Tebow is a fantasy god. He's consistently getting solid points, around 20 per game. Rushing yards really help. I can't see that changing this week against the Vikes.

    RedZone is a great tool to follow, and sadly I personally have not found one similar enough online. I normally stick to nfl.com/scores for gameday updates. Can follow individual games and/or league-wide stats. Not nearly as good as RedZone, but it works! (Also check your fantasy provider, as many provide good real-time stats and updates)

    Thanks for your interest in us! You can follow us on Twitter @3SNetwork for updates when new content is posted, or you can subscribe to us using the links on the right-hand side. Feel free to drop us a line at 360sportsnetwork@gmail.com with any questions.

  3. I am going to go a little differently here. I think this week, Tebow might see a little less production against a Minnesota team that has been pretty decent versus the run in the last three weeks. Versus Oakland, and Michael Bush, were the only problems this defense had. Versus Atlanta and GB, meanwhile, they contained fairly well, and showed a drought for run-friendly fantasy football leagues.

    Against Denver, they will not see a balanced offense that Atlanta and Oakland are. Instead, they see an offense that runs anywhere from 60%-80% of the time. While McGahee will help this, if you do get fantasy points from Tebow this week, you may only see them in the air.

    The team this season that looks consistently as good and dedicated to the run has been Carolina. The Panthers, on the shoulders of a running quarterback in Cam Newton and a solid fantasy football two-headed giant in Johnathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams, only put together 140 yards on the ground, and only saw the end-zone 4 times the whole game versus Minnesota.

    My opinion? While Tebow has been a solid fantasy football player, especially in the style of offense he is in currently, I cannot recommend him this week; and will give an asterisk...if you feel like he will throw, and throw early, often and well, then he is solid. If you are only relying on his legs, he isn't as solid of a start this week versus the Minnesota Vikings.

    Later, and thanks again for the feedback!
