Fantasy Guru Daily: 2/21/11

There is nothing new on the labor negotiation front in the NFL, but no news is good news when both sides are sworn to secrecy until their meetings over the next week are completed. But the one thing we do know is nobody has walked away from the table yet, and that is a big positive.

Owners, players meet in mediation over the weekend… The NFL and NFLPA met with a federal mediator for upwards of 20 hours over the past three days, with at least four more days of talks scheduled. The mediator requested that both sides keep a vow of silence regarding the talks, and both sides have honored that request to this point.

  • 12-team Non-PPR mock draft review May 9, 2013
    In about a month, I will be whipping up my initial and early Draft Plan, which will simply cover all the positions and how to approach them.
