I was in a league once that had special year-end payouts. Our favorite one was the 'fantasy felon' award that went to the owner who had the player with the worst offense committed during the season (or it had to come out and be an issue during the season). It had such potential, but during the...

CBS's official response to me this morning: "In regards to your inquiry about McCluster, we will not be making any changes to his position and eligibility. If we make this change, it’s a change that affects all leagues across the system, including the single game leagues (free, gold, platinum...

Really? Check his four year college career for how he is in these situations. To think that Tebow isn't someone you want running your team when things are on the line is uninformed. That's when someone of his character shines best. When he put the Gators on his back to beat Alabama for the...

Last year I went into Week 13 and the playoffs with three top 5 QB's...Rogers, Orton and Cassell (top 5 in the last couple months). Next year I'll need four, as Rogers got a concussion, Orton lost his job and Cassell got an appendectomy all within two weeks of each other.

I asked him. He said you get to retire rich to the lush life in Oakland.

The OP defined sleeper for this thread as 'guys out of the 1st round with potential for a lot of receptions?' Given that definition I submit Ronnie Brown.

Has Del Rio come public with a statement as to how much MJD will be used on special teams? He got really gassed at the end of last season, but he was churning out crazy workload games...didn't he have 300 total yards against a late season opponent? If his special teams role is reduced I don't...

I like how the Panthers manage their RB stable. They draft good backs when they already have that area covered, probably so they don't have to shell out big bucks on a second contract. I think Williams will continue to do well in Carolina for the next couple of years before the Panthers let...

I enjoyed the crank article. Nice to see someone quantifying what has historically been a gut check thing for me. I don't think I've ever drafted Ochocinco or Santana Moss because of inconsistency. It would be sweet if this could somehow be incorporated into the draft dominator. It could be...

I see your point, but there is value in being first in the waiver position. If I can make a trade for something I didn't want and it protects my waiver position, that is a positive.

These points, IMO, are the best arguments for LT. When you take into account the entire team picture I think there is more reason to think LT will be fine this year than not. I have him in a 2-keeper league and, after reading this, will most likely keep him again (options are LT, Portis, D...

The prizes are great and tempting, but I still wouldn't do it.

Fixed.If those boneheads in Cincy could bring back Henry they just might look at Rudi again and think he still looks good.

In very deep leagues...Hixon

Good stuff...well thought out and a good read! Do you do other positions, too?
