Our 10 team auction league lost three owners, so we're looking to get up to at least 8 and preferably 10 owners. The league is a $100 entry with no transaction fees, and 100% payout. Starting lineup: Team QB, RB, RB/WR, 3 WR/TE, K, DST. Pretty typical scoring with 0.5 ppr. It's a one keeper...

I'm looking for players who may be especially good plays as they chase various milestones, as well as those who may get a little less play due to others' chasing records (e.g., LeSean McCoy). Here are some key players that come to mind. Arian Foster is contending for the NFL rushing title at...

Anybody know anything about a Favre press conference today? It's a sticky on ESPN in the upper left corner, but nothing else has been mentioned....

VJax is officially back this week (wk 12). With all the WR injury issues in SD and the uncertainty with Gates, plus Rivers on track to break Marino's record, I'm expecting a decent game against the Colts this week. Something in the 7 for 70 range, with a good chance at a TD. Floyd seemed to...

Looking for one more league for the year. I prefer auction, but draft also works. If I can't find an open one, maybe there is enough interest on FBG to start one. Anybody have an opening or interest in a league?

We're looking to revamp defensive scoring in one of my leagues. The primary goal is to set a baseline around the typical total points and yards allowed by defenses over the past decade or two. That way, if the average points scored against a defensive unit is 17 points per game, then a defense...

In case you just lost last week. LeRon McClain on NFL boxscores now has 14 rushing yards. Fanball had him with 19 rushing yards. Wes Welker on NFL boxscores now has 9 catches for 107 yards. Fanball had him with 10 catches. Maybe this helps someone else win as well.

In case you are in the market for a solid DST play, it's time to grab the Jags, at the very least for the next 3 games. 8: Browns 2-4 9: @ Bengals 0-7 10: @ Lions 0-6 The Jags are coming off their BYE week, and their under-performance to date has been widely due to their schedule. 1...

ESPN Player News: Saturday (knee) fully participated in practice on Thursday and is expected to play this week against Jacksonville, head coach Tony Dungy told the team's official web site. (Sep 18) Looks like this is the week we get to see how much Saturday's absence affected the Colts, and...

Here's an article I wrote that didn't make the cut this year. There are many actual scoring examples below that you can use to see if your league rules cover the odd plays that occur every year in the NFL. If this article helps someone patch some holes in the rules of their league before...

Now we have a home to discuss the FBG freelance article league throughout the year. One major item that needs Clayton's help is that the starting linups are currently viewable by all members. This needs to get changed ASAP and I have already emailed Clayton to fix the problem. Best of luck to...

Here is an article I submitted to FBG that apparently isn't going to be published (I never heard if it was even received, despite multiple requests for confirmation via email and PM). Hopefully it's useful to some of you. Feedback (both positive and negative) on the article is always welcome...

As I was doing my usual scouting of matchups for the week using Doug's site, I thought of a suggestion. Please add your suggestions for how you look at the data and use this football resource. Thanks! It would be nice if the 2006 team data were sortable by selection of any one column...

Watching last night's game, I realized that the Denver DST is actually doing rather well of late. Denver has only allowed 1 passing TD and 0 rushing TDs this entire year. I'm looking for thoughts from those who are able to watch Denver about their DST unit. Their schedule is: @StL KC @NE bye...

Just a polite request to please post the freelance articles while there is still time to digest, discuss, and incorporate the content prior to the season's start. Thanks!

Every year there are posts looking for help in resolving a rules dispute. So, in case the rules of your league aren't very good, here's a set of rules which might be useful in avoiding disputes this upcoming year. We've used these rules for 10+ years so most scenarios have been addressed...
