Ah, taking a break for a couple weeks felt good. But, as with all things vacation, it must end and the work must go on. Fortunately for me, and you (I hope), this work entails talking about college football. Sure, I could spend hours watching curling, but I’d never do that….never, never...

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 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...

Now that the pros have finished up a “Who Dat” passion play worthy of Shakespearean longevity, it’s time to get back to the business of college football – or more pointedly, the business of college football in the spring. That’s right, my friends, despite the real sense...

Winter is continuing to pound away at many parts of the country as we welcome February, but with all-star games being played and the hint of spring practice starting to whisper its promise of optimism on the wind, let’s take a look back. It’s never too late to learn something from 2009 that...

Well, that was quite a bowl season wasn’t it? In what can only be called a “shocking development,” or, if you’re my wife, a “disgusting” development, I intentionally watched an extended amount of all 34 bowl games this season. Sure, it’s was big sacrifice –...

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...

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...

If you remember back a couple weeks, I got together with a few buddies and we did a quick draft of players on bowl teams heading into the first half of the bowl season. Well, we couldn't reconnect for the Jan. 1 games and beyond, but the results are in for those early games that we drafted for. The...

Wild and wacky, that’s the only way I can describe some of this bowl action over the New Year’s weekend, but there it is – wild and wacky. If you’d told me that Houston ’s Case Keenum would throw six picks against an Air Force pass defense that was statistically very good...
