Cut-N-Go is Fantasy Football FanHouse's weekday roundup of the NFL news with fantasy football impact.
Cinderella had her glass slipper and some enterprising restaurateur decided many years ago that chicken wings and beer went great together. It doesn't happen often -- when two things come together to create a perfect fit. When it does happen, you should thank your stars.
Chris Chambers is doing just that after he was claimed off waivers Tuesday by the Kansas City Chiefs. It may be a stretch to call this a perfect fit, but there aren't too many teams in the NFL where Chambers could have gone and actually produced. The receiver-needy Chiefs are one of those few places.
Everyone loves fantasy footballsleepers, but they change depending on league size and availability. We're here each and every week to give you a look at good plays for all types of leagues.
Mike Sims-Walker has quickly become a fantasy god, going from "Who's that?" to having his own three-letter acronym (a la teammate MJD) in the mere span of three weeks. Against Tennessee, I was convinced he'd have another great game, which he did, catching seven balls for 91 yards and two TDs. Averaging a touchdown and over six catches and 90 yards a game, he's clearly the number one option in Jacksonville. Since it would be silly to feature him every week, I'll just say again that he must be owned in your league and started every week.
The last three weeks have been a blur for Minnesota Viking fans. They've gone from a quarterback competition to a completely different kind of quarterback controversy.
When Brett Favre walked into Viking headquarters in Eden Prairie, Minn., on Aug. 18, he brought with him the promise of a Super Bowl run. Either that, or the promise of another glorious Vikings flop. The only certainty with Favre's arrival is that nothing is a given. All the meaningless predictions are cast aside starting Sunday, as Minnesota launches their 2009 regular season at Cleveland.
The Titans come out of an opening game loss with some problems to fix--like tweaking a pass rush that fell apart in the fourth quarter--some problems to chalk up to bad luck--like Rod Bironas missing two field goals--and the frustration of an overtime loss.
But in that loss, there were signs that the Titans' offense could be better in 2009. Kerry Collins threw for 244 yards against the league's top pass defense in 2008, and Kenny Britt showed that Tennessee finally has a solid receiver to line up on the other side of Justin Gage.
Last week, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bobby Wade took a pay cut. It seemed to be rather curious timing, perhaps suggesting that Wade accepted the reduction in salary (to $1.5 million) in order to avoid being cut.
Wade denied it, and the reduction in salary also gave Wade the right to become a free agent after the 2009 season. Apparently, the Vikings decided that the end of the season was too long for Wade to wait. Instead, they decided to make him a free agent now.
Training camps have wrapped up, the NFL season is right around the corner, and it's still hot as sin outside. But instead of cooling you off with a warm island song, FanHouse break out ye old heat check for our 2009 NFL Season Previews.

The Vikings offseason could have been sponsored by Waffle House. Brett Favre's will-he-or-won't-he waffling left Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson twisting in the wind, but when he did decide to come out of retirement again, he also gave the Vikings a buzz that the team has lacked for years.
MANKATO, Minn. -- Vikings wide receiver Bobby Wade said Friday he has made peace with former Chicago Bears teammate Brian Urlacher after getting a little too chatty on a local radio show.
Wade, as you may have heard, revealed Wednesday during an interview with Minneapolis station KFAN-AM that Urlacher used an a filthy word in describing Jay Cutler as, well, less than manly during a recent weekend trip to Sin City.
Now that Urlacher and Cutler, Chicago's new starting quarterback, have kissed and made up at Bears' training camp in Bourbonnais, Ill., does Wade regret spilling the beans publicly about what the guys said in Las Vegas?
The first instinct is to dismiss it as psychological warfare, a lie from a former Chicago Bear trying to even a score or stir up bleep. When Bobby Wade, now of the rival Minnesota Vikings, tells a Minneapolis radio station that the new local savior, quarterback Jay Cutler, was described as a "p***y" by longtime team leader Brian Urlacher, what are we to think?
Second-hand information is sometimes dangerous, unless it's taken with a grain of salt. And friend-of-a-friend is even worse. But right now, the word on the street from KFAN, a Vikings radio station, via ProFootballTalk.com, is that Bobby Wade, Minnesota wide receiver, spoke out earlier and said that Brian Urlacher thinks Jay Cutler is, um, not the toughest cookie in the jar.
Or, to put it more like Wade apparently did, Urlacher thinks Cutler is a 'p***y.' Now, provided this (meaning either Wade's statement or Urlacher's actual feeling; either one will suffice, really) is true, well, me-ow. Take it away, Florio.

Meet The ... Dude we're sick of seeing on the cover of all the magazines. Well, that is until we land the first pick in our fantasy drafts. Adrian Peterson comes in as the entirely unanimous No. 1 in every league known to man. Unless you have a huge homer crush on Michael Turner, Maurice Jones-Drew or Matt Forte, Peterson is the best fantasy player in the game. But of course he could get injured, something he is known to do ...
