Fantasy Football

It may be a while before Fantasy Football starts up again this year, but one thing is for sure for those who take it very seriously. You want to check out several before committing to one. AAFL.com caught my eye simply because they have some big time payouts to the winners. Just take a look at some of the fantasy football prizes they offer. This is for the fanatics that know what they are doing. Managers who know what it takes to win a league title, or just pound the competition. I've been a fantasy guru for a few years now and love all the aspects of fantasy ball. The competition, the forced having to watch the games that I love, the smack talk, and the fun of making roster moves that can make or break your season.

Free tip. RBs are still the most important thing on your team. Yeah...I'm sure you knew that. Still it is overlooked at times. That ugly ranking of Payton Manning has screwed even the most seasoned fantasy players. You see him sitting there at 8-10 in the draft and figure you have to take him. Don't bother. HE isn't that far a head of guys like Bulger, Brady, etc., though i notice a lot of bad managers taking Brady in the first round often. Blows my mind. Fandom has no place in fantasy sports. Get your RBs and elite WRs first. You can get a QB in the 4th round or later in most cases and be much better off IMO. Looks like the RB corps is a bit deeper than it has been in the past few years. LT still rules the roost, but that bad man Stephen Jackson has climbed the charts to #2 in most formats. That pushes perennial top 3 guy like Larry Johnson and Alexander down. Alexander coming off an injury is going to be a nice steal I think for anyone that can pull him in at #4 or later this year. Don't fall into the trap of getting rookies. I can't even tell you how many times i saw Reggie Bush go in the first last year. HE had a decent year if your league counts receptions, but you were kicking yourself most of the year before he started to score.

I used AFFL before and they seem to be a great site for football especially. Better than Sandbox....
