What could happen when politics impact fantasy football
I wanted to take a moment to use this platform to advocate against something that is near and dear to me. While political talk can be very divisive, as well as often downright nasty, a current piece of legislation making its way through our United States Congress is threatening the very liberties that make the Internet such a wonderful source of easily available information.

Thursday Thoughts: LaMichael James’ decision and a fantasy football sleeper
I probably should be writing about fantasy football right now, but the news of Oregon Ducks junior running back LaMichael James' plan to declare for the 2012 NFL Draft is on my brain. His decision is not surprising, but what might be is where this ultra-productive talent comes off the board in next April's extravaganza. Tap your mouse here for more »
Life after Greg Jennings in the Green Bay passing game
The Green Bay Packers' loss of Greg Jennings (knee) for what will likely be the rest of the regular season should send you to the waiver wire; look no further than some of his teammates.
Veteran Donald Driver should assume the role of the primary possession receiver, but that may not translate into a lot of production since there are so many short-range weapons in this offense. The old man of this group is a low-end flex play in point-per-reception leagues. Tap your mouse here for more »
Tim Tebow just might be a real QB this week
Will Tim Tebow look like an actual quarterback this week and not just the rushing treat he has predominantly shown to be this season? I think so.
Our friends at FanDuel.com have set up a fun salary cap fantasy football challenge where you can take me on this weekend. It costs $2 to play and all you have to do is finish higher than me to land $5 in your bankroll. That is almost a lock with the way I have picked this year! Turn your minimal entry fee into $150 ... and more! There is $500 worth of prizes being dished out to the top teams, but it is limited to only 276 participants this week. Don't be left out in the cold when it comes to easy money before the holidays. Do you have what it takes? Try to beat me in Week 13!
Taylor Jonathan Yates to the rescue?
The Houston Texans' quarterback situation leaves a lot to be desired, but that doesn't mean there is no fantasy value to be found here.
Rookie T.J. Yates is being prepped to make his first NFL start, against the Atlanta Falcons. Veteran quarterback Jake Delhomme, 36, was signed this week to back up the youngster. The North Carolina product should remain the starter as long as he is protective of the rock. The Texans will not ask him to do too much; he has a strong running game to rely on and a quality supporting cast of targets. Tap your mouse here for more »
Fantasy football running back targets and stashes
We are getting awfully close to that time of the year (no, not the holidays), as fantasy football regular seasons are winding down and the playoff landscape is being finalized over the remaining few weeks of play.
This had me thinking about which players I wanted to stash and target in some of my leagues. Stash players: I'm referring to those hardly known, seldom used options that a make you gasp upon realizing your opponent had the fortitude to put the player into their lineup against you.
Targeted players include midrange options that you can probably land on the cheap, if your league allows trading. Today's focus is the running back position. Tap your mouse here for more »

What to do with Roy Helu and Beanie Wells in Week 10
