Heading into the Opener
Who’s ready for some REAL football? No, I’m not bemoaning last week’s fantastic run of college games. Believe me, I’ve spent a ton of time watching tape, scouring rosters and getting ready for what promises to be an even bigger Week 2.
Rather, I’m looking forward to the grandiose celebration set to take place down [...]

ACL: This is perhaps worst acronym that you can have associated with your running back, wide receiver or QB when reviewing the weekly injury report. The word “torn” in front of this acronym effectively ends the player’s season and sends you scurrying for a replacement.

Harmon Updated Defense Rankings
The final rounds of the draft are reserved to fill two roster slots. After loading up on running back depth and building a deep receiving corps, fantasy owners roll toward defenses and kickers. Occasionally, some intrepid soul will leap from the fray to fill this roster slot early, but owners have been burned by this [...]
Harmon Updated K Rankings
Kickers are people, too!
Seriously, it’s rare that a fantasy owner reaches to snag a kicker before the final rounds anymore, but it does happen on occasion. Still, kickers do play an important role in deciding fantasy matchups where, just like on the real playing field, games can be decided by narrow margins. They’re selected in [...]
Harmon Updated WR Rankings
Fantasy owners will have to work deeper at wide receiver than any other position. Sure, everyone needs to react to injuries and workload splits (thank you, Mike Shanahan) at tailback while working the waiver wire feverishly in-season. The fact that most leagues still require three starting wide receivers forces owners to tap into those third [...]
CJ Spiller: How High Does He Climb?
You can’t stop CJ Spiller. You can only hope to contain him.
Spiller helped lead the Bills to an exhibition win over the Bengals, scoring twice in the 35-20 win on Saturday night. He carried the ball 12 times for 52 yards, including a 20-yard sprint. Spiller added two catches for 33 yards.
The workload split [...]

Vernon Davis of the 49ers Gives His Thoughts on Fantasy Dominance
It’s not a lengthy conversation, but Vernon Davis gave his thoughts on the 49ers’ growth under Mike Singletary in 2009 and hypes his fantasy value for 2010 (he’s a free agent to be in a much-improved offensive set). He’s definitely a top-5 tight end coming into the season. Where’s the ceiling?
Check it out here [...]
Mike Wallace of the Steelers Pumps His Fantasy Value
I recently hit the road for my annual NFL training camp road trip. During my visit to Latrobe, PA to check out the Steelers, I had the opportunity to catch up with second-year wideout Mike Wallace.
He talked about his points of emphasis this off-season, his relationship with Hines Ward & touts himself as a fantasy [...]
FanEX Analysis Draft Complete: Review It
Recently, I worked my way through a long, arduous journey. I completed a slow fantasy football draft. That is, instead of the normal fast-paced draft with 60 to 90 seconds between picks, this draft worked off of a 12-hour clock.
As such, it took weeks to wind to completion, and more than a few twists [...]

Pittsburgh Steelers Trading Partners?
Now that the suspension has been handed down, there’s ample speculation about the possibility of Roethlisberger getting dealt during draft weekend or soon thereafter. They pulled the trigger on Santonio Holmes, a former Super Bowl MVP, so nobody’s untouchable.
Who can make it happen?
St. Louis is a no-go. The Rams are trying to fire up [...]
Looking Ahead: Football Starts April 12th
Good evening, all –
I’m shuffling off for the weekend to attend to family business. On my return, I will be diving head-first into the offseason activity in the NFL. I’ll examine the free agency moves – good, bad and confusing and circling back to the trade that sent Donovan McNabb to Washington and thrust [...]
