This is brutal. I am exactly tied and have either Barber or Choice going against Ward. I have a terrible feeling that whatever I choose will be the wrong one. It looks like I'm going with Barber and hoping for a TD. I'm guessing that Barber will still be the goal-line back even without great...

I think I've decided to go with Ryan.

Andre Johnson's stats when Sage Rosenfels plays most of the game over the last 3 years: 2006 ________Catches Yards TDs 8 Oct 29 @ TEN 9 78 1 2007 13 Dec 2 @ TEN 9 116 1 14 Dec 9 TAM 9 82 1 15 Dec 13 DEN 6 86 1 16 Dec 23 @...

Chad Pennington is still available in about 50% of leagues, and he's got a nice matchup against the Champ Bailey-less Broncos in Week 9. He could be a nice plug-in for Brees/Rivers owners needing a bye week replacement if available.

I just traded Favre to get Colston today.

Jacobs had a carry in the redzone towards the end of regulation and he looked fine.

I feel like this is a very tough week for Survivor pools. Practically every favored team is on the road. I went with the NY Giants. I certainly think that Miami could win that game. I didn't want to use the Giants this early, but with the lack of clear choices this week, I think they are one...

I'm tempted to start Johnson over Lynch in a start-3 RB league where I'm lucky enough to have Barber, Lynch, Jacobs, and Johnson.

I apologize. I meant it as a general discussion of the strategy behind nominating the first overall player, not specific advice of who in particular to nominate. I just used examples from my league last year to help illustrate the point.

That is typically my strategy for any pick other than the top overall pick. However, I feel like the top overall pick is somewhat different because that hyped player would likely go for closer to his true value due to the fact that many players will be reserving their money waiting to bid on...

In the past years, I've read about how if there is a player past the top 1 or 2 players that you really covet, and you nominate him with the first overall spot in an auction draft then you can often get that player at a nice discount because many other players will be saving their bidding money...

I was just discussing this with one of my fellow league members. We noted how the top 3 finishers in our league last year all had very different strategies, and all turned out to succeed. The first place finisher was the patient one, who passed on overpaying for many of the proven studs and...

This is not surprising. Practically all girls peak at 17.

Is anyone else picking up Gio Gonzalez, the most likely replacement for Blanton in the A's rotation? He has a 0.95 ERA in his last 4 starts in AAA and has been striking out batters at a rate of more than a K per inning. A couple weeks ago he threw a complete game 1 hitter and struck out 13 and...

Any reports on the extent of Uggla's injury?
