Seriously, guys, what’s going on out there? Are all the Jamaal Charles owners still stepping on cracks? Did the Kenny Britt owners walk under 50 ladders on their way to work Friday?

Jamaal Charles owners: How to replace your stud running back

Really, guys, Week 1 is Too Early for a Waiver Wire
Some of you may have wondered why I didn’t post a waiver wire this week. I tried…but there just wasn’t much for me to get excited about in Week 1.

Evaluating Your Team’s Playoff Chances Before Fantasy Football Season
I just finished a draft this week and after rosterbating to the obvious championship quality of my lineup for the past several days, I needed something more.

Some people…… Continue reading Evaluating Your Team’s Playoff Chances Before Fantasy Football Season
My Much-Too-Late 2011 Fantasy Football Sleepers and Value Picks List
I’ve been a slacker this season when it comes to posting my sleepers and value picks.
