Funny plug for me and the site today on Sirius/XM NFL Radio

I'm listening to Sirius/XM NFL Radio Channel 124 with my boy Adam Schein, and Solomon Wilcots, who  I also know and worked with at NFL Network for a year. Some guy calls up and asks them a fantasy question, and Schein and Wilcots proceed to give me and the site an incredible but also funny plug. It's funny because of Schein's style, which is boisterous to say the least. Take a listen using the link below. fantasyguru.com on sirius

Another mock expert draft today

I have yet another mock expert draft today for another magazine, so I'll be posting the results as they occur. This is a 12-team draft, and it's NOT a PPR league.

That was the first step in adjusting for Favre, and we may soon have to go all the way and right the following: Brett Favre (QB, Min) On a personal level, I've been a Viking fan since I was about seven years old, which is odd because I lived in Brooklyn, NY, and right around the time I ...

Podcast Talking Points

We're doing a fresh podcast on Thursday morning with myself, Adam Caplan, and Greg Cosell, and since this is a quiet time of the year, I thought we'd break down some of the key issues fantasy owners need to think about heading into camp and the 2009 season. I'm throwing them out there now in case anyone reads this before 10am tomorrow and has any other topcis for discussion. Wells vs. Hightower - How do the players compare? Raven Running Game - What do they want to do, and do they want to change anything about it from last year, and how ...

Potential Playoff Problems

I realize SOS is only one factor to look at when considering players for fantasy and that you can find something negative, like a tougher schedule, about any fantasy prospect. But if there's one thing to be very concerned about for an upcoming season, it's a brutal schedule for your fantasy playoffs. This game is still about matchups, and if they're bad for the playoffs for your key players, it may be too much to overcome, so I've gone through the schedules to find the top-10 RBs who have challenging schedules for the key playoff weeks. Not all of these guys ...
