Solorca-Thanks for the review. When you say that once you set your rankings the draft is a breeze, does that mean you use a different apps/paper/Excel/etc. in conjunction with the app? In other words, can I come up with my own rankings (by position/top 200) and then customize the app so it...

This is important. FBG has in the past offered an advantage to its subscribers versus non subscribers and other league owners. If subscribers in any way shape or form get less than someone paying $5 or even $10 that would be shameful. In my opinion FBG is not the Wall St. Journal (to which I...

"Great" is a word that has many definitions for many people.If you had to define "great" in terms of the top "X" number of QBs in the league are great, what would X be? Is it top 5, top 3, top 2? Just curious. How many QBs in the league would you prefer under center today instead of McNabb...

Not to be critical of hard work here but is anyone willing to take the lessons learned and apply them to previous years and review/post the results? I have not looked at the data but I seem to hold on to the belief that Stud WRs in the past were not necessarily good investments. There are also...

Interesting since I went to two Giants games at night and beer was sold.

While this thread is not the best example of makes this site great, it is a good example of why I have a paid subscription and use the forums. Sure I was probably going to do the trade anyway but hearing from other users and looking at the nuggets of information available to subscribers was...

For the record, I am a Giants fan and own McNabb on one of my fantasy teams. I recently had the McNabb "is a very good QB" discussion with 3 different Eagles fans. As a Giants fan, I have seen him torture the team and play well against them. This year was no different especially when I...

We have a 10 team league with shallow rosters that limit the number of players (active and bench) at each position. Frankly, I picked up Harrison in week 4 and subsequently dropped him because "I did not need him" and did not have room. That said, the point on Charles is interesting because...

How many free agents drafted the week of your fantasy bowl were put into a starting line-up for a team competing for the championship? In my league in which we blind bid for free agents, the guy I am facing had enough dollars left to win three key free agents he is now starting in our fantasy...

If kickers aren't luck, then why do they show far less correlation from year to year and from week to week than other positions? Why is there less correlation between "expert rankings" and end-of-year ranks? Heck, if picking kickers is a skill, explain why there's essentially no year-to-year...

As someone who bothers to manage the kicker position I say leave it in. Year after year owners draft kickers early and "set it and forget it." I for one draft kickers late and monitor the waiver wire for the hot kicker. This year I started with Tynes in most leagues and now running out the...

The great thing about Smith is he is involved in the passing game too. He touches the ball a ton in that offense. With Stafford and Calvin being hurt, I do worry about defenses looking to stop him.

I like Smith. He is so involved in the offense both running and receiving, it is hard for him not to have a decent fantasy game purely based on the number of touches. That said, I just traded him in a 4 for 4 deal involving Chris Johnson. Smith has been solid for me this year even though he's...

So I pulled the trigger on the trade late yesterday.... Kevin Smith, Garcon, Witten and Kaeding For Chris Johnson, Berrian, Dallas Clark, and Flacco Essentially, I figure I for all the consistency provided by Kevin Smith I still only have 2 wins so maybe Chris Johnson can turn it around and...

Regarding the NASDAQ analogy, that cuts both ways such as CJ's ability to put together 1 great week out of every 5 to offset the bad weeks or continuing to put up 4 bad weeks to every 1 great week. In fact I think the CJ supporters would not not agree with the point.I think what I am seeing so...
