The NFL draft is just around the corner, so it’s time for me to begin talking dynasty. This offseason I’m going to start with 14 players who are on the rise, that as a dynasty owner you should consider making a move for before it’s too late. This week I’m going AFC red with seven...

I have to say, it's difficult to work on a weekly IDP sleepers series when you're in the midst of two dynasty startup drafts with industry peers, especially when the lineup for each includes at least seven defensive-player spots. On the one hand, my first obligation must be to (both of) my readers...

Hasn't anyone ever told you to never judge a book by its title? I mean, I can't help it that Albert Pujols and Chris Johnson are dirty names. I can't control the fact that mock drafts for both fantasy baseball and football continue to soar to new heights as March continues to, well, march...

On the TV are 300 guys who spent the past three months carefully changing their hand positioning to shave 7 hundredths of a second off their 40-yard dashes. The defenders are trying to show everyone that they can "flip their hips" and that they have a good "bubble." All we really...

So, the past couple of years I did a series in which I looked ahead to the next season and picked one relatively deep potential IDP sleeper per team. The first time around, I actually made it through every team. Last year, though, I inadvertently raised the question of how many installments you actually...

Here I sit, on a dark night, in a dark room, in front of very bright computer screen, reading the dark news about perhaps my favorite NFL player since Cris Carter. I sit in my dark tan chair with nothing on but a light blue and gold No. 21 Ladainian Tomlinson and pair of Scooby-Doo boxers; yes, I still...

This week mark's my second round of inclusion in Fantasy Football Trader's weekly roundtable column . This week's question (followed by my answer -- abridged from my normal long-windedness to fit the format) ... Which Cowboys RB will present the most value at fantasy drafts this Fall? This...

About a week ago, I gave some early reaction to a mock draft hosted by Razzball's Chet Gresham , so I think it's fitting to take a look back now on the completed exercise. The primary lesson here, was that I won't be using CouchManagers.com anytime soon. The price (free) was certainly right...

So, I guess most football-heavy folks are probably going through some level of withdrawal right about now, but I have to admit that I'm rather excited. For starters, we're now fully into NFL draft season, and the draft is simply my single favorite sporting event of the year. The Super Bowl is...

I've just joined the folks taking part in the weekly off-season roundtable hosted by Fantasy Football Trader . My first assignment was to assess whether Green Bay tight end Jermichael Finley's 2009 was fool's gold or a harbinger of further success. Here's why I'm buying Finley .....

I have to admit, I think it's kind of silly to be doing fantasy football mock drafts at this point in the year. The draft hasn't happened. Free agency has yet to open. Chad Ochocinco still has the same last name. No Jaguars have been arrested. You get the point. It's really early to get any...

Wanna feel inadequate? Try dating a bisexual porn star. I don't speak from experience there. I just feel pretty safe in the assumption. My recent brush with inadequacy, however, came via my first fantasy baseball draft of the year. It wasn't so long ago that I fancied myself a pretty solid fantasy...

If you drafted a playoff fantasy team before the first round, you obviously would have (or, at least, should have) done so with an eye on being able to field a worthwhile team each week and pile up as many total points as possible. If you're heading into the draft room this week, however, you have...

The Associated Press names its All-Pro team every year. So in fantasy, we have the FSWA awards. Last year, the Fantasy Sports Writers Association voted only on the fantasy MVP ( choosing DeAngelo Williams ), but this year's ballot has been expanded to include rookie of the year and an All-Fantasy...
