Condensed: Bradford shaky with inferior weapons. Amendola hurt. Do we chalk it up to a tough match-up? Or move on to a QB who got it done week one?

What’s the best way for a league to handle free agent pickups? I’m in a league where free agent pickups cost ten dollars (real money) to be collected at season’s end. I’d like to change this because I think it encourages struggling teams to give up after a certain point in the season. For...

Are they the worst playoff team in the last 30 years? Relatively, maybe. In real terms, no way. Thirty years ago, the Vikings won the NFC Central with a record of 9 & 7. This year's Seattle team would smoke these guys by 50. Below is the 1980 Vikings offensive line: LT - Steven Riley...

I'm the only one that seems to be up in arms. Anyway, I just offered S. Greene and Aaron Hernandez for Jamal Charles. Charles is on the unowned team. I figure he he's going to unload his marginal players for young studs, then I might as well try to get in on the action.

The commish of a keeper PPR league I'm in had to take over a team because of an owner problem. After a few weeks, he decides to initiate a trade between himself and the team he's running. He got Hakeem Nicks and gave up Brady and Cooley. Nicks, in his second year, is dominating the league. Brady...

No Joke. I went against K. Britt, Roddy White, and McFadden. Score so far: 235 to 88.

I think he's become unstartable. 1 pt.

Garry Kubiak hates me.

I got him over Cutler, Vick, and Stafford. Yikes! It's a bloodbath.

The FBG Top 250 Going Forward is one of my favorite tools of the service. I've used it to my advantage in evaluating some pretty lucrative trades over the past few years. After the big trade yesterday, Moss was listed as the number one overall WR. Aaron Hernandez was ranked as the 4th best TE...

I just got off the phone with a league-mate. I gave Vick and Addai. I got Miles Austin. So obviously, yes it's a good time to trade him if you can get a stud. However, I'm a believer in Vick. He should be very goo all year long.

Deep bench. Shallow starting positions. For example only start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 DST, 1 K. Inevitably, you will end up having top 20 RBs and WRs riding the bench for certain teams each week. A league I was in last year did this. Players involved in trades included MJD, Chris Johnson...

I'm in the same position and am also targeting Greene. Here's why:1. He passes the eyeball test. Don't get me wrong, he's no Jonathan Stewart, but he looks like a strong pro.2. The Jets ran the ball 600 times last year under this coaching staff.3. The O Line is still very good.4. Good team, good...

So I'm about to participate in my first auction. I downloaded one of the footballguys apps to help establish player values, and it spits out some surprising figures. Basically, the studs were valued at 25 - 30 % of the budget, and mid-round guys (think Knox, Maclin, Bradshaw, Portis, etc.) are...

The more I mock, the more I see how each website's interface dominates the outcome of the draft. For example, FF Calculator seems to base it's rankings on ADP. This initiates a clear case of group-think (particularly in the early rounds). Take Deangelo Williams for example. He's very low on the...
