Still not announced on Sky. Contract ended after super bowl again and negotiations still on going

Yes, nothing confirmed from Sky yet - would be poor for all sides if not there though so am sure they will get something sorted - only a couple of weeks left though

NFL UK still have sky as a "broadcast partner" although only mention the 11/12 season even though they have updated the site to reflect the 12/13 games.......

Tannehill confirmed as starting for the 'fins, which puts 3 top 10 drafts at starting QB I think - should be interesting. Shame he has nobody to throw to now we just droped Chad for head-butting his wife!!!!

At the moment it's 4 rookie QBs starting week 1. In addition to the three abode these also Brandon Weeden at the Bengals who has been confirmed as a starter.  There's also an outside chance at the number going up to 5 depending on what the Seahawks do. They are starting Wilson in this weeks preseason game and in recent years a QB that's started week 3 of preseason often starts week 1 of the regular season.

Read this morning Wilson will be starting week one, he looks good surprised he beat Flynn he looked real good in little action with the Pac

Yeah it's going to be interesting to see how it plays out. Flynn played very well in his single game for the packers, but then it was the Pack. Can he do it with the O line the Seahawks have and their lack of any receiving threats.

I just picked Wilson up on waivers in my fantasy football league so now I've got to choose between him and Romo. I don't want Romo to do well as that means the Cowboys will be doing well, but think that he is the logical choice.

Yeah I would say so especially with Bryant on such a short leash. I think it should be his year although Cowboys are very scary short of WR's.

Got an awful draft position amongst the fantasy football league I'm in this year. Drafted at position 11 of 12. Probably one of the worst positions to get as all of the elite players are gone in the 1st Rd before you get to pick. The wait between my quick two picks each Rd was agony as quality player after quality player disappeared off the board.

Not the best team in the world, but one I'm hopeful can at least get me .500 record. Deffo not expecting Playoff's though unless these guys have career seasons

QB - Matt Ryan (ATL)
RB - Darren McFadden (OAK)
RB - Steven Jackson (STL)
WR - Greg Jennings (GB)
WR - Steve Johnson (BUF)
TE - Fred Davis (WAS)
WR/RB - Roy Helu / L.Blount / D.Amendola / D. Heyward-Bay
K - Greg 'The Leg' Zuerlien
DEF/ST - 49'rs

Last year I picked 2nd overall and won the league.

Seem interesting picks! I got 49ers D in my draft. Although annoyingly I had to rely on auto pick for mine as there was a last minute change of times. I took a WR in first round and then a RB then QB. In hindsight I should have selected to take a QB in the second but picking up Wilson off waivers has lessened that blow a little.

Been picking up backup WR and RBs here and there but am quietly confident with my 2 Dolphin picks as nobody seems to know who will be there go to guys so it could be any of them! Just wish someone would sign Burress!!
