Feeling particularly lucky

Happy birthday to the best guy I've ever met: my awesome husband. Without getting all sappy on you guys (it's really sad but those iPhone 4 commercials are making me tear up these days; blame it on the pregnancy thing!), it's truly an honor being married to such a great dude and every day I'm reminded of how lucky I am to have found this guy. And of course since he's the one that introduced me to this crazy world of fantasy football, let's all raise a glass to the birthday dude! Now moving on from the husband lovefest to the ff linkfest... If you're in the mood for a handful of sleepers, try 72 of them . Yeah that's right, 72, all with a bit of a write-up from the guys at DynastyLeagueFootball.com. And there are some nice, super deep ones here that should satisfy those of you in the deepest of dynasty leagues in particular. I must say I look forward to Matthew Berry/The Talented Mr. Roto's Love/Hate column every summer. He does of cour...

Big Apple, Big Links

My feet feel like they might fall off; I've now pounded the pavement out there for the past 3 days or so, drinking in all that NYC has to offer (not literally, though I am excited to seek out some tasty New York brews - any suggestions?) and searching for the best apartment out there. I don't want to get my hopes up but I think we might have found a gem. In fact, it feels like merely typing that sentence might jinx our chances so I'll leave it at that...onto football links. Want to catch training camp with your favorite team this summer? Scope out FantasyPros 911 for the training camp schedule of most NFL teams . Check out FantasyFootballStarters ' Advice on Kurt Warner: Handcuff Matt Leinart to him for rare QB handcuff advice. Only advised if you really have room to carry 3 QBs on your roster. Rotoworld is going through a series of minicamp reviews and this week's focus is on the AFC West (catch up on others: AFC East and AFC South ). FFToolbox has a nice R...

Coming at you from the ARL

I had a great time in Arlington, VA, with family and friends this weekend as expected...though I've had a ridiculous number of people send me this Arlington rap (same guy did a fantasy football rap , too, among many, many other things). Not exactly the Arlington that I grew up in, but certainly what it has become... Anyway, back to the issue at hand - fantasy football. Hopefully you all aren't getting sick of offensive line analysis since I've got lots more to link to today and in the weeks to come. If you haven't seen the Rotoworld Draft Magazine yet, go look for it at your local bookstore - I've got an article on o-lines and some Bold Predictions for the 2009 season in the magazine. But in the meantime, here are some more o-line briefs from Ultimate Fantasy Football Strategy: the Houston Texans and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . Also on the o-line front, Fifth Down has done a comparison of the Giants and Jets in Who Has the Best O-Line? Giants or Jets? For a futur...

2009 RB analysis and beyond

Gotta be quick today, my fantasy football fans. I'm flying to good ol ' Grand Rapids, Michigan later this week for my grandma's 90 th birthday so I've got a busier week at work than usual. So read up on today's brief list of links... NFL.com takes a look at the top rookies and what kind of fantasy impact they might have in Moreno, Wells headline top fantasy rookies after NFL Draft - I'm seriously starting to think that the impossible might happen = the Broncos might have one lead runner; the RBBC might be dying off in Denver. Could it be?? Am I getting swept up in a Knowshon lovefest ? Possible. The Jets and Gregg Rosenthal agree - there's a big drop-off in rookie running backs after Shonn Greene . I of course am waiting for Northwestern's Tyrell Sutton to make an unexpected splash this season (might be waiting a long time since he hasn't exactly signed with a team yet...) but it is interesting to see that there are really just a few rookie R...

More RBBC material - and visitor 100,000!

In my recent column with the Bruno Boys , I commented on the lack of articles that address some of the more difficult RBBC (running back by committee) situations. There are a few gems out there, though, and apparently more are cropping up every day. Take a look at a few: The Huddle's The 2008 Ultimate RBBC Review - I realize this article is only partially free for non-Huddle members. But I'm a non-Huddle member who can only read the first 4 or so reviews, and I still think it's worth your time. Now if you are a Huddle member, you're probably in for a treat. And by the way, I apparently can't stop reading and linking to John Tuvey's articles; he's got quite the fan club (um, why can't my last name be turned into something as hipster as his? tuvey =2v. I mean, really - that's fantastic. It's the small things in life...). If you haven't read his o-line analysis that I linked to in this blog post yet, go check them out (again, only partiall...
