NFL Preseason: Week 2 fantasy football thoughts
For the third consecutive year, each week I'll be sharing random fantasy football thoughts and tidbits based off of the preseason games. I break it down in a variety of categories based on what I'm seeing on the field and how it is making me feel about their value in fantasy football this year. This series won the Best Fantasy Football Series last year by the Fantasy Sports Writers Association in 2010.
Arian Foster made the Saints' defense look silly
The second week of preseason play is in the books. If there is such a thing as watching too much football, I've done that in the last couple of days. I'm not complaining.
There were some interesting preseason games; some of the teams/players are looking pretty close to what we thought they were a few weeks ago. Others, however, are turning heads for the wrong reasons and some are just simply disappointing (Kansas City, I'm talking to you).
Drinking the Kool Aid
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford graced this space a week ago. He had another solid outing (without wide receiver Calvin Johnson playing due to a shoulder ailment), hitting six of 10 passes for 85 yards and a touchdown to receiver Nate Burleson (his second of the preseason). If Stafford can stay healthy, he is very capable of being a top-10 fantasy quarterback this year. Look for his low 100s ADP to start climbing. I'm also digging Burleson as a late-round option as a No. 5 receiver. Tap your mouse here for more »
Fantasy Football: Randy Moss and the Minnesota Vikings (Updated)
Purple must be Moss' color
Even with a bye week on tap, the New England Patriots and wide receiver Randy Moss were at the center of attention Tuesday evening. By Wednesday morning, Moss was no longer a member of the Patriots and is once again sporting the purple helmet he donned when he first entered the NFL many years ago.
The Minnesota Vikings are once again Moss' home.
Brett Favre takes the snap. He looks left. He looks right. He fires a deep pass to... Randy Moss. Touchdown!
That scenario is possible as early as this weekend. Tap your mouse here for more »
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…

Ask KFFL's Experts: Ryan R. Bonini
Will Megatron rebound in 2010?
Random questions were posed to KFFL.com’s team of editors. Some queries are hypothetical. Most of them deal with fantasy football, while others address the NFL Draft.

Don't ignore Joey Galloway in fantasy football drafts
I love this time of year, as fantasy football players start lining up their fantasy league football drafts one after another. Along the way, results of many drafts are being tracked to create Average Draft Position (ADP) reports and show everyone where players are typically drafted.
For the last few weeks, I have been paying close attention to the ADP reports on KFFL.com (powered by our good friends at Mock Draft Central). In some situations, it amazes me how few times certain players are selected.
In a standard 12-team league with a 16-man roster, there are a handful of players not being selected in every draft that I feel should be.
New England Patriots wide receiver Joey Galloway is one of those players. Tap your mouse here for more »
New England Patriots sign WR Joey Galloway
What a shocker: The New England Patriots reached into the free-agent market and snagged a 37-year-old player thought by many to be washed up.
With little fanfare, the Patriots added veteran receiver Joey Galloway, who was cast free by the Tampa Bay Bucs after he managed just 13 receptions in an injury-riddled 2008 campaign.
If it were any other team than the Patriots, I'd say: "Who cares?" The Patriots, however, seem to have a mini fountain of youth hiding away (rumor has it that it is right next to the vault that holds all of their video tapes of other teams) and bring out the best in veterans.
