14 Team Leagues

The question of luck vs. skill is one I think can be debated all day long regardless of league size. For example, if you drafted Keenan McCardell or Santana Moss late in a 12-team league (for example, I grabbed Moss late -- he was the fifth or sixth WR I took in that league if I recall correctly -- ...

The Rams did not disclose terms of the deal with Bulger, who coach Mike Martz has said would enter the preseas...

What Is Best Draft Position?

In my main league last year (it's a keeper league where you can keep one player from the previous year's team as long as that player was not drafted in the first 3 rounds) I took Portis in the first round and wanted Davis bigtime in the second. I had hyped him all off-season in our magazines and onl...

Early Pre-Season Rankings

Disinformation and spin aside, I think Faulk is going to be one of the most interesting players in the draft this season. Do you pass on him fearing that once again he's going to miss time (possibly considerable time) during the season? Or do you take the chance on him knowing that when he's on the ...

Football is for Chimps

I think the difference is football is addictive whereas baseball needs passion. You have to really love the sport and have a real passion for it to commit to it for that long of a season in terms of fantasy play. But with football, there's an adrenaline rush every weekend due in large part to the fa...

What Is Best Draft Position?

Just out of curiosity JP, who were the RBs you passed on to take Willie Green? Anyone of significance? I really think that second-round pick is often a HUGE one in drafts. Your first-round pick should be a slam dunk and everyone should be able to walk away feeling good about the guy they get there. ...

Early Pre-Season Rankings

JP, you could make a very good case that minicamps are all about misinformation or rather information that ultimately proves meaningless. Allow me to share another example from my beat writer days: Several years ago there was a WR with the Packers who was the star of minicamp. The guy caught everyth...
