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...

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...

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...

After taking yesterday to check out the fantasy conditions for the Colts players this weekend, it's time to flip the script and see what matching up against the Indy defense will mean for the prospects of the Jets' skill guys. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS vs. Quarterbacks The Colts started the season much...

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...

I know, I know, you're probably tired of hearing about it, especially if you're a Packers or Cardinals fan. However, I have to say that the NFL has not been real clear in it's recent explanation of the "tuck rule" not applying to this situation, and their denial of an infraction...

The fourth game of Wild Card weekend seems like the easiest to call and presents a favorite of mine to do some damage in these playoffs. At this time last year, Arizona looked like a lucky team backing into the playoffs by virtue of its location in a bad division. Of course, all the Cardinals did from...

In my previous write-up on shifting gears from regular-season fantasy to the playoff version, I started to get into the importance of scoring defense. Although I still believe in that track and will continue down it, I'm seeing that scoring offense appears just as important. Now there's a bombshell...
