Offseason musings

Well I think we can all agree I've been a bit of a slacker with the blog posts for the past week or two. My apologies - the offseason + friends in town + tournament hype = a slow librarian. But that doesn't mean the offseason has slowed down along with me...if you need to catch up on any free agency news, head on over to Rotoworld's NFL Headlines or the FantasyFootball.com's Off-Season Player Tracker.

Before getting to today's links, let's talk March Madness for a bit. I recently fooled RapidDraft into thinking I know what I'm talking about when it comes to basketball, so they invited me to be one of their pro drafters in their Hoops Madness game. Come on by and set up a team to combine the fantasy fun of drafting with tourney time!

One final comment on basketball before turning to football: my Northwestern Wildcats take on the University of Rhode Island on Wednesday night in the first round of the NIT...go Cats! Now finally, linkage time...

• This week's MMQB - Deals for Delhomme, Quinn beg the question: Where's the love for McNabb - takes a look at some of the latest free agency moves.
• For those fellow Broncos fans - or just those curious about Brady Quinn's move to Denver - scope out ESPN's Quinn thankful for a fresh start.
• If your mind is already moving on to the NFL Draft, then Pancake Blocks' Draft Season Series is for you - read the latest installation, TEs Stock Report.
• Or maybe you're looking for sleepers? Turn to Hatty Waiver Wire Guru's 5 WR Super Deep Sleepers.
• Whether you're new to the concept of dynasty leagues or you've been doing them for years, Fantasy Football Maniaxs' old man strategy for dynasty leagues might just be the advice you need for the 2010 season.
• And while we're talking dynasty, see what Razzball has put together for their tiers of WRs in 2010 Dynasty Rankings: Wide Receivers Vol. 1.
• More still on the dynasty front - Fantasy Football Trader offers up a solid roundtable discussion: a keeper league assessment of Matt Stafford and Mark Sanchez with contributions from some great writers. At the end of the article, cast your vote between the two QBs.

Feeling out the fantasy impact

Before I delve into fantasy football today, just have to give a little nod to my Northwestern Wildcats who just got their first 20-win season in school history when they beat Indiana during the first round of the Big Ten tourney. Congrats Cats!

Plenty of free agency news out there - let's start with a few news tidbits before getting into the fantasy analysis angle:

• L.T. has left MN without a deal - he's headed here to the big apple to meet with the Jets. Think I'll see him out and about tomorrow? 
• ProFootballWeekly highlights some action in Ohio for all 2 of you Browns fans - Changes begin in earnest for Browns at quarterback. 
• CBSSports.com reports that Antonio Bryant has inked a deal with the Bengals.
• So now let's jaunt on over to the fantasy view for a few dudes including Bryant:
• Razzball's Thomas Jones Hates Your Fantasy Team
• DraftBuddy's Antonio Bryant to Bengals - Fantasy Impact
• Free agency isn't the only thing going on though - the draft speculation is continuing. Rotoworld's QBs Stock Report and WRs Stock Report are great places to go for solid suggestions.
• And of course since I got name dropped in RapidDraft's IDP Sleepers - AFC South article, you're going to want to check it out. But to boot there's good information in there, too, from one of my favorite IDP writers.
• Fantasy Rundown does a nice job of zeroing in on a lot of sites that have posted positional rankings for the 2010 season already...and includes the ultra crucial date of posting.
• Finally, if you read my column with the Bruno Boys last season, it was probably clear that I love playing with game stats; and if you've been reading the blog long enough, you probably know that I love Advanced NFL Stats...so no surprise that I'm linking to Advanced NFL Stats' Yards Per Target report.

From old friends to free agents

For a few years after college I lived in DC, which is when I met my husband and also made a bunch of awesome friends. One of those friends is here visiting us for a few days and it's funny how hanging out with him takes me back immediately to the good times of the early 2000s. We've talked football, I've scoped out photos of the Steelers kegerator he built, and we've all stuffed ourselves full of food from his favorite restaurant in Brooklyn. Love having him here and since he's a big FFLibrarian reader he's of course supportive of me taking some blog time now...so let's get to the linkage:

• Free agency rolls on so we'll start things off with some info from that frontier:
• Football Jabber's NFL Free Agency Forces Mock Draft Changes looks at the implications of this past week's free agency moves and how it could impact draft choices in April.
• Another good read full of free agency details (including some nice 2009 vs 2010 comparisons) comes in MMQB's In wake of signing/trade frenzy, a reminder: Free agency is overrated. 
• Razzball takes a look at a handful of free agency movers and shakers in The Uncapped Masses.
• If you're having a hard time staying up with all the free agency news, just mosey on over to CBSSports.com's 2010 free agent movement tracker.
• Rotoworld's Evan Silva takes a stab at his second mock NFL draft of the season now that the combine has passed in Post-Combine NFL Mock Draft.
• The Lead Pipe Lock is full of interesting stuff - poke around a bit, definitely a site that looks at stats and figures out how to make it relevant to fantasy players. One link to scope out - 2010 Early Fantasy Points Against Ranks - looks at how each of the 32 teams fared against each skilled position in 2009 and uses that as a launching point for how they'll do in 2010, with recent roster changes taken into account.
• Finally, a heads up for those of you who are Hatty Waiver Wire Guru fans, take a look at the site's redesign that just went up in the past few days - definitely a new look for a new season.

Free Agency Unfolds

The free agency fun begins, my fantasy football friends. While I was peacefully sleeping in the wee hours of the morning, Adam Caplan was tweeting about Nate Burleson's move to Detroit...this goes to show how valuable twitter will be in sharing free agency news, so stay hip by checking out the latest from folks like AdamSchefter, greggrosenthal, ProFootballTalk, and daverichard. Lots of other great news tweeters out there - feel free to leave any in the comments if you've got some other favorites to share.

Plenty of football news out there and of course some nice fantasy analysis pieces, so let's get right to it:

• News has broken that Peyton Manning had surgery for a pinched nerve - read the details from ESPN. 
• Meanwhile the Panthers have broken ties with QB Jake Delhomme. Hello Matt Moore. Or other as yet unnamed/unacquired QB.
• The Hazean has taken a look at 5 dudes who we might be hearing more about as free agency unfolds in In Honor of Free Agency, Five Impact Fantasy Players on the Move.
• Broncos analysis + fantasy thoughts? Yeah I'm in heaven - see what Rotoworld has to say about the Moreno/Buckhalter situation in Pancake Blocks: Which way is Moreno trending?
• FFManiaxs's Deep Sleepers: NFC Running Backs has totally won me over - an article that includes a discussion of the greatness of Tyrell Sutton, former Northwestern Wildcat (go cats!) and current Panther? Nice!

Finally, if you're new to the site and wondering who on earth I am or just want some more background scope on how I became the FFLibrarian, take a look at FantasyEthos.com's recent interview with me.

I'm heading to Boston today for the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference tomorrow - if any of you will be there, let me know!

It's an offseason stat-fest

I'm officially in transition time between the Olympics and March Madness - fortunately I have the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference up in Boston this weekend to keep me entertained. I'm heading up on Friday and will stay with an old college roommate, which should be great. A weekend of sports analytics talk from some big names plus time with old friends? Doesn't get much better.

Today's links are of course full of looking ahead to the 2010 season...only 5 more months until preseason games start!

• First off, let's conclude the combine talk with CBSSports.com's Combine wrap-up: Value runners, DT conundrum, diva QBs and The Hazean's Reactions from the NFL Combine.
• Sports Buff always provides solid IDP advice so I was pleased to see the IDP Sleepers: NFC North article - lots of details in terms of past and future for these value picks.
• Meanwhile if you want even more IDP suggestions, try Kilryoz Krystal Ball's 2010 Dynasty IDP Rankings: Defensive Backs.
• A little something for those of you into Dancing with the Stars...okay, so none of us watch it, but you might be intrigued anyway that Ochocinco will be a contestant this season as well as Erin Andrews and Olympics star Even Lysacek among others. 
• Time for a little Jets love (hey, I'm in NYC now...) - with Thomas Jones likely being released this week there are all sorts of discussions swirling around in fantasyland. Start with Lester's Legends' Thomas Jones' Possible Destinations and then chase it with Razzball's Shonn "Gang" Greene for a lovefest on one of last year's hottest rookies going into the season.
• Now I'm sure you're all wondering who might be the hottest rooks for 2010, right? Well we'll hash that one out for the next 6 months but Hatty Waiver Wire Guru's 5 Rookies to Watch gets us off on the right foot.
• I'm saving my favorite link for last - you guys all know how I love my stats...therefore you can imagine my delight at seeing Advanced NFL Stats' Individual Player Stats by Team post (though the stats are also up by player position as well) - it's a thing of beauty. So many numbers, so little time my friends.  

P.S. I caved and bought rain boots. Looks like my feet will be toasty and dry today!

Combine love

Well as you all can imagine, I was very sorry to see the Olympics wrap up last night, particularly after putting up a pretty decent showing in RosterSlots.com's fantasy Winter Olympics game. I even found myself bragging to my sister about my new fantasy olympics skills.

But we've got lots of combine news out there so let's delve right in to today's links...

• FFToolbox takes a look at results from the combine at a variety of positions - scope out their look at quarterbacks, running backs, tight ends, and let's throw some offensive linemen in there since I love seeing what's new on the o-line front.
• Meanwhile you can never go wrong with the Football Outsiders' combine report - check out either Friday's combine report or Saturday's report.
• SI's Fantasy Clicks: The potential deification of C.J. Spiller devotes some time to combine standout C.J. Spiller, top free agent backs, fastest 40 times, and of course a ranking of this year's rookie class.
• If you find yourself sick of combine talk like Rotoworld's Chris Wesseling, then head on over to Pancake Blocks to see what he's put together for the first round of a mock draft. Gotta say I'm kind of agreeing that Charles is a bit too high here. I love the guy's potential and think a lot of the hype is for good reason, but I just am not confident enough about the Chiefs o-line to draft him in the first round.
• A reminder to always stay up on player news and updates in the offseason - in case you missed it, both Thomas Jones and Terrell Owens are set to be free agents next week. Tons of other news out there evolving including guys like Portis, Sproles, and Campbell. Stay hip to news with Rotoworld's NFL Headlines or KFFL.com's Hot Off the Wire.
• Another good place to stop for news is FFXtreme's Player Spotlight page - it's frequently updated as news warrants and provides solid fantasy advice for the upcoming season.
• If you're wondering about fantasy implications for 2010 with all the movement on the RB front, Fighting Chance Fantasy has you covered in Big Changes at RB in 2010.
• Meanwhile for some dynasty thoughts on RBs, swing on over to Razzball's 11 tiers of running back goodness.
• Another final nugget of interest? The NFL is considering changing the format of overtime. 

Under my umbrella

I hate to talk about the weather again but I can't help it! Never in my life have I seen such a city dedicated to using umbrellas in the snow. In fact, I swear that prior to moving to New York City it was something I'd only seen little old ladies do...but here it's an epidemic. So on today's wet, slushy walk from the subway to work, I busted out my umbrella. Gotta be honest, got to work a little bit drier and warmer. I might be a slight convert.

But have no fear, I won't drone on about the rest of my weather experiences and all of the accoutrements I'm finding helpful here. We'll hop on over to today's links:

• Combine talk is really heating up - Football Outsiders/Washington Post football guru Doug Farrar will be posting his thoughts from the weekend on twitter so if you're in for some combine twitter action, give him a follow.
• Meanwhile don't forget that free agency is just around the corner. Swing by FantasySharks.com's 2010 Free Agent Watch - QBs for some names you'll want to keep an eye on over the next few weeks.
• If you're in a deep league or if you're just really jonesing for a deep sleeper, I highly recommend you read this forum on the DynastyGuys: Guys currently flying under the radar for 2010. Spent some good time on there thinking about those lesser-known dudes.
• If you're a Pats fan like my sister - or just a Welker admirer like I am - you'll be pleased to hear Welker is "doing very well" after his knee surgery.
• Finally, I've been missing my football content from Lester's Legends, a site I can always count on for quality content. So I'm glad to see some football being peppered in among the baseball content, particularly this article on Felix Jones vs. LeSean McCoy.

I'm the one without galoshes

Kind of a crazy day - for starters, it was the first time since I was maybe 6 years old that I coveted galoshes. I stared at all sorts of fellow subway passengers with lovely, cozy, dry-looking rain boots and thought ahead to the rest of the week that has a cold, wet rain in the forecast for New York City. Living in Colorado for so many years I lost a sense of what it means to experience non-stop, day after day rain. It doesn't do that in heaven Colorado. So now I'm wondering how long I'll last before caving and buying some serious galosh action.

Other craziness - go back in time about 2 years and I bet 90% of you would be surprised to hear that LaDainian Tomlinson and Brian Westbrook were both released within about a day of each other. A reminder of how quickly the mighty can fall. For some thoughts on where Tomlinson might land, see what The Hazean has to say in LaDainian Tomlinson out in San Diego, where to next?

• If you'd like your NFL Draft insights via podcast format, you're in luck. Football Jabber has very kindly put together a list of 5 great podcasts that you'll want to tune in to - Five NFL Draft Podcasts for Your Earbuds!
• The Bruno Boys have some good thoughts up on the combine in Researching the NFL Scouting Combine.
• Or in the mood for some IDP action with your combine? See what Hatty Waiver Wire is cooking up with 2010 Pre-Combine Players to Watch.  
• Meanwhile if your brain is stuck on 2010 prep and you're eager for some thoughts on sleepers for next season, read FFManiaxs' thoughts on Pierre Thomas. I'm not positive that sleeper is really the best designation for him, but he certainly has the opportunity to blow up this year.
• Finally, we've got a couple of nice offseason offerings in terms roundtable discussions:
• Football Trader invites some wise FF experts to comment on the RB situation in Dallas.
• FantasyFootball.com's writers tackle the who-goes-with-the-#1-pick question.

Happy Combine Week

Finally, the week we've all been waiting for is here: the Scouting Combine. Not sure I'll be able to sleep tonight with the excitement but truly, this is mighty good, my friends. Means football season is just a tad bit closer.

Now I for one have been reveling in the greatness of the Olympics (that fantasy Olympics game I keep pimping, RosterSlots.com, was just written up in the Wall Street Journal this weekend), but I'm trying not to lose my football focus what with all the football talk that could be going on this week. Really make that Tim Tebow talk.

So let's get right to some of the combine talk and then of course dabble in some 2010 talk:

• Rotoworld's Scouting Combine Preview is a great summary of things to watch for in Indy this week. Evan Silva always does a great job with draft prep and focusing in on guys who have big speed and size.
• For the past few years I've done a summertime article on offensive lines, so as you can imagine, I like news on the big guys up front. So I'm digging Dr U Fantasy Football Guru's top 10 NFL Draft rankings for offensive tackles from this year's rookie class.
• Peter King's MMQB touches on the combine, free agency, and of course the Olympics.
• Basically I'm on pins and needles any time I see a Broncos headline, wondering what supposed mcmastery McDaniels is up to - the latest headline from ProFootballWeekly.com that the Broncos won't commit to Orton beyond 2010 just makes me anxious for some reason. Not that Orton is the long-term solution...but still, I feel uneasy.
• CBSSports.com smartly zeroes in on a few coaching changes that you might want to be aware of going into the 2010 season in Five assistant coaches who will impact their new teams - from the big Mike Martz move to the less publicized coaching transitions.
• Pyromaniacs.com has a Peaches to Leeches article that looks at dudes who had a tremendous 2009 season but are likely to come back to earth next year.
• Finally, the offseason means a lot of site redesigns in the FF industry and Fighting Chance Fantasy, a site I frequently link to during the season, has jumped on that train and given themselves a makeover. While there isn't a ton of football coverage these days (I'm promised more to come as the draft approaches), if you need some fantasy baseball advice then you're in luck.

Now back to the Olympics - if you somehow missed it, you'll want to be sure to see the Fifth Down's details on Vernon Davis as the honorary captain of the U.S. men's curling team. I happened to be watching the curling match this weekend when Vernon appeared. Fantastic.

Shaun White > LenDale White

There are no links to offer up that compare with the awesomeness of Shaun White's halfpipe performance last night. Yeah that's right, I'm a proud member of the Shaun White fan club, I mean how could you not be?? The dude is tremendous; that's all there is to it. I even dig his hair, that's how far I've bought into the Shaun White lovefest.

And of course his performance helped me put up some stellar numbers in RosterSlots.com's fantasy olympics game yesterday, which any of you can jump into at any point during the Olympics. I say see if you can put together better fantasy teams than I can, because frankly, I'm on fire.

A little research is all it takes to be ahead of the game with both the Olympics and football, so let's roll on over to today's links:

• Get your mind wrapped around the free agency landscape with CBSSports.com's Top 32 FAs: Cap-free year needs restricted infusion. Oh Denver, please do hold on to Elvis Dumervil...
• Football Outsiders are always a great spot to stop for some quality offseason thoughts and this week is no exception. I'm enjoying their thoughts and reader comments in Most Overrated Fantasy Player Into 2010?
• For one man's take on his picks in Razzball's recent mock 2010 fantasy draft, read what RapidDraft's Matt Schauf has to say about guys like Brandon Jacobs, LenDale White, and Robert Meachem among others in Way-too-early mock conclusions.
• Speaking of Brandon Jacobs, the FFManiaxs have basically written him off, which I think might be a bit premature - but see what they think of the rest of the Giants backfield here.
• Meanwhile guess who has parted ways with the Browns?

The road goes on forever and the offseason prep never ends

If you're a regular reader and haven't caught on to the schedule switch going on here on FFLibrarian, just a quick heads up that I'll mostly be posting at night now for awhile as I get adjusted to my new job schedule. Also my posts might slow down a bit in the offseason, but never fear my fantasy football fiends, there's always something to write about!

So right now I'm taking a break from the Olympics (and staring at Dick Button's absolutely immense shoes) to get some links up for you...nah, who am I kidding, there's no such thing as a break from the Olympics, not when you're playing fantasy Olympics...I even watched curling at the gym today, that's how into the Olympics I am.

Let's jump right into tonight's link wrap-up:

• I remember reading Rotoworld's thoughts on small schools in past years - always appreciated since there are gems that come out of smaller programs and we'd all be a little better off knowing their names: Small School Prospects.
• Other thoughts about this year's draft class come from CBSSports.com's Combine preview: What to watch for at Indy show.
• If your mind is on the draft then you'll want to swing by FFToolbox - they do a great job of providing mock drafts basically constantly from now until the big weekend, like this one from Ben Standig, one of my favorite FFToolbox writers.
• I also highly recommend Sports Buff's look at IDP updates if you're playing in a league with individual defenders and you're trying to sniff out some early 2010 defender dudes.
• If you're looking for some other 2010 insider scoops, head on over to FanHouse's The Next Miles Austin - head on over to see who they have pegged for a big breakout season in 2010.
• More breakout dudes, this time of the QB variety, from Rotoworld's Dark Horse QBs?
• Or see why Hatty Waiver Wire Guru has Pierre Garcon in his top 15 WRs next season.

All about the Olympics

Ahh, it's a long weekend here for us and it was sorely needed - post-Super Bowl I came down with a cold and of course had copious amounts of laundry to be done. Nothing like a long weekend to help on both fronts. Plus I've found myself basically addicted to the Winter Olympics, thanks in large part to my participation in RosterSlots.com's fantasy Olympics games. I recommend scoping the site out if you're looking for a fantasy fix - or say if you need a reason to watch the pairs figure skating for more than just the bizarro costumes. Seriously, is this actually an Olympic event for weirdest outfits?

Let's get to a few fantasy football links to start this week off right:

• Several of my fantasy football buddies across this great land are participating in Razzball's 2010 Mock Draft. Matt Schauf from RapidDraft keeps things interesting by picking MJD with the #1 overall draft. See what else has evolved over the first 4 rounds of the draft so far.
• Another mock draft, but this time not so fantasy - FantasyFootball.com's 2010 NFL Mock Draft looks at picks that might be made come this April. 
• Take a look at Rotoworld's Blame it on the quarterback for 5 wide receivers that you might want to put higher on your list next season - if their QB situation improves.
• Read up on this week's MMQB to let Peter King know if you want to hear more about the 2011 negotiations between owners and players...and for a nasty knee photo. If that doesn't get you to click on the link, don't know what will.
• I haven't been hiding my distaste for Jay Cutler as a fantasy QB so of course I was drawn to Picking Jay Cutler apart, an article based on film breakdown from Jaws.
• Bruno Boys have put up their Top 25 fantasy players in 2010 - lots of QBs in the first round. I love me some Aaron Rodgers (I will always have a special place in my fantasy heart for Rodgers after his role in getting me to SB44) but I'm not willing to take him 5th overall...does that mean Rodgers won't land on any of my squads this year?
• Another Packer that I'm big on for next year - Jermichael Finley. See what FFManiaxs think in Fantasy Status for 2010: Stud or Bust?
• Finally, free agency is just around the corner - ProFootballWeekly.com's Wilfork among UFAs who could be 'franchised' takes a look at players who might get the franchise tag.

Join in on the Winter Olympics fantasy fun!

Tomorrow marks the start of the Winter Olympics with the opening ceremonies in the evening, and I have good news for all you fantasy sports addicts: you can keep up your fantasy fervor by participating in RosterSlots.com's Winter Olympics competition here. Scope out all the rules and such but basically it's a combo of a fantasy game and a slot machine - on a daily basis during the Olympics, you can spin to see how good of a trio of countries you can get for various sporting events. When one of your countries wins a medal, you score some points. So head on over and keep the fantasy fun rolling over the next few weeks!

While I could probably carry on here with some links to Winter Olympics research and athlete insights, I'm going to give you all what you're more likely here for - fantasy football links.

• Follow along with the offseason injuries in The Hazean's Thursday Morning Rehab - lots of info here on guys ranging from Brandon Jacobs to Steve Slaton to Mark Sanchez.
• Many have Chris Johnson on their radar as top dog for the 2010 fantasy football season - see what Rotoworld has to say about the recent hubbub about Johnson's carries being reduced in Chris Johnson and a reduced workload?
• Matthew Berry (Talented Mr. Roto) addresses the question of Chris Johnson as the top pick in 2010 among many other questions during FanHouse's video interview of him on Radio Row at the Super Bowl.
• IDPers might want to bookmark Kilroyz Krystal Ball as a place to go every week or so to catch up on the latest IDP updates.

FFLibrarian Playoff Challenge Winner

So we've got a winner for this year's FFLibrarian Playoff Challenge run by NFL.com and I'm happy to announce that the winner is someone near and dear to me: my father-in-law! Seems a bit like shenanigans, right? Well what can I say, the man knows his football and he won the competition fair and square. So kudos to my father-in-law, aka Lee Hill, on his victory in the FFLibrarian Playoff Challenge and a $25 Amazon gift card courtesy of the Bruno Boys. After losing pretty much all of his players during the first week of the playoffs, he then created a team comprised entirely of Colts and Saints...hence he had a monster Super Bowl Week and carried off an overall victory by 1 point. The top 5 results are as follows:

1. Lee Hill (594 points)
2. playball35 (593 points)
3. coachnk (590 points)
4. SEADOGS (585 points)
5. Planet 10 (581 points)

 Congrats Lee Hill!

SB44 photos and 2010 prep

Well it's a bit of a winter wonderland here in New York City - there was plenty of talk about how much snow was going to fall today, but I was actually pleasantly surprised to see that the snow really had little to no impact on my commute and traversing around the city.

Meanwhile my poor mom in northern Virginia had her heat fail on her today of all days - fortunately she somehow got some repairmen who were willing to come out and get her back on the happy furnace track again. Thank goodness...lots of snow and no heat? Not acceptable.







Time now for some game photos my friends! Yesterday I posted a bunch of photos highlighting some of the cool non-game things we did during our weekend trip to South Florida...but now it's finally time for photos from Super Bowl 44.

To be honest I was pretty into the game so I only snagged a handful of actual game photos but took plenty during pre-game warmups. Once again I'll sprinkle them in with today's daily links, which are starting to get mighty heavy on the free agency and NFL Draft angles.



First up on the photo front we have some Saints and Colts warming up, getting loose maybe an hour or so before game time. We definitely took note of Freeney on the field looking pretty good and unhampered by injury. 

First link for today - and I love this one - is from the Football Outsiders who posted a smattering of thoughts on penalties this year in Penalty Fun Facts from 2009. Check it out to see which teams and the most and least penalties, the most face mask penalties, the most overtime penalties, etc. Lots of good stuff in there to satisfy curious minds. 

Next photo here is of the Saints running out onto the field before kickoff, followed by a shot of Boomer Esiason, Shannon Sharpe, and Bill Cowher down on the field, taking a break from pre-game show duties. 

Now while I was at the Miami Buffalo Wild Wings for the Q&A with Wingo and Schlereth, someone in the crowd asked who I thought next year's Chris Johnson might be. While I don't really think I see someone repeating Johnson's leap this year, I did suggest Jamaal Charles as a possible up-and-coming grab for the 2010 season. See if the FFManiaxs agree in Jamaal Charles' Expectations for 2010: Fantasy Stud or Bust?

Some sharp minds in fantasy football land have come together to build a new site: DynastyGuys.com. Take a look around the site and scope out their Top 100 Keepers.

Next up, Fantasy Football Free Agency from FantasyFootball.com takes a look at their list of top 10 free agents, including my boy Tony Scheffler...would be sad to see him leave the Broncos but it sure seems like an inevitability these days doesn't it?

We've got a few looks at the 2010 NFL Draft - first up, Rotoworld zeroes in on the 2010 quarterback class while Fantasy Tailgate does a mock NFL draft with a few notes on team needs.

Last up, a bunch of action shots from a series during the game...
