Fantasy Guru Daily: 2/24/11

The NFL off-season remains about as active as we could expect for a league just 10 days from losing its Collective Bargaining Agreement, although both sides are still working on securing a new deal before the deadline. Will that happen? We have no idea. But the combine is starting up, and there’s other news to report on.

A big day in labor negotiations forthcoming… The sixth day of mediated labor talks were highlighted by an unconventional break at around 3:30 PM, which can lead to all kinds of speculation. The fact of the matter is we have no idea what’s going on as neither side has broken its vow of silence, and we won’t know until someone says something.

  • 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.
