NFL Preseason: Week 2 thoughts
Feeling better about Wes Welker's health
The second week of preseason action is, for the most part, in the books and a little thing called fantasy football is hotter than ever.
NFL starters saw more action than they did in their first week of preseason play, but in most cases it was still less than a half. Next week is the one that counts, as most starting units will play into the third quarterback before hanging up the cleats until Week 1 of the regular season.
I'm drinking the Kool-Aid of…

Fantasy football drafts: Late-round flier RBs
We creep closer and closer to the upcoming NFL season, and fantasy football drafts are consuming the nation. I just finished my fourth draft of the year yesterday, and have at least three more in the next 10 days.
Scott could be lightning in a bottle
The other day, I discussed how important it is to look for potential lightning in a bottle fantasy football draft selections toward the end of your draft instead of relying on safe, ho-hum picks. In that report, I focused on wide receivers you can target at the tail end of your fantasy football draft who have incredibly high upside if the stars align. Today, I want to throw some running backs at you. Tap your mouse here for more »
Fantasy football gamble: Laurence Maroney
Laurence Maroney has made himself an easy option for fantasy football participants to give up on.
Worth the gamble in 2010
With four NFL seasons under his belt, Maroney has laid more than his fair share of eggs. He has yet to rush for 850 yards in a season. He hasn't played a full 16-game season to date. He doesn't catch a lot of passes. Fumbling issues last year led to head coach Bill Belichick benching him late in the year.
So why am I trying to snag him - and recommending you do the same - wherever possible in fantasy football drafts this year? Tap your mouse here for more »
New beginning: Things to watch in Week 1
Who will be the Pats top runner?
The 2009 NFL season started with a bang Thursday night, as the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Tennessee Titans in overtime. What a great way to start the season, especially for you fantasy owners of wide receiver Santonio Holmes, who went over a 100 yards receiving and found the end zone.
The first week of the season is always the most interesting one. Whether you run a fantasy sports website or not, we are all in the same boat. We all spend the offseason prognosticating what will happen in the upcoming season. We all have an opinion - some more wild than others depending on the situation - and we all love to be proven right when it plays out how we anticipated.
Like you, I'm going to be paying close attention to many situations around the league this weekend. I recently offered up all of my bold predictions for the year, but here are some of the situations I am going to be paying the closest attention to in Week 1: Tap your mouse here for more »
NFL Preseason: Week 3 thoughts
Brady to Moss... get used to hearing it!
Finally, some meaningful preseason action is in the books. As I mentioned in last week's blog (NFL Preseason: Week 2 thoughts), the third week of preseason games is the one that counts the most. Starters see more playing time, allowing us to see on-field chemistry, how players respond to adversity and how the team's general offense/defense is gelling with the season about to begin.

NFL Preseason: Week 2 thoughts
Hasselbeck's back holding up
The second round of exhibition games is pretty much in the books, and starters saw a little more action. The key NFL preseason games, of course, are next week when the starters - for the most part - will play the first half to tune up for the upcoming season. Tap your mouse here for more »
Fantasy football draft results: 10-team league
I took LT No. 2 overall
Most of the fantasy football leagues we participate in these days have a fantasy league football draft that consists of 12 teams. However, for the second consecutive year, I am taking part in the SOFA Ten league, run by our friends over at TheHuddle.com, which is - like the name says - a 10-team league.
Scoring is a standard PPR format, while the starting lineup consists of 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 PK, 1 D/ST and 1 flex at RB/WR/TE. Tap your mouse here for more »
