I'll add the DB Tiers now. Forgot to update the initial post with these last week. To my knowledge, there's nothing new on the horizon for this week, but I don't know what the other guys are working on. I'll work on another RTD preseason update this week, but can't guarantee it'll be in the can and posted by Friday morning.Is there something else in particular you're looking for?

Nothing in particular. Everything has been great. As you've probably come to learn from my posts/questions, two of my big leagues are big play leagues. I thought you did a big play column last year. Also was looking forward to the RTD update. Again, the content has been great thus far. I've downloaded last week's podcast, but have not listened yet.

Thanks.The big play strategy column was a couple of years ago. The strategy still holds, but the names have changed. I think we added a little big play discussion to the tiers articles, linebackers moreso than the other positions. I'll try to add a little big play flavor to the RTD update if I can get to it.
