Here’s a little bonus for you. It’s an interview with Adrian Peterson on KFAN (my favorite radio station out of the Twin Cities).

Check it out and see how AP answers the following question; “if you where drafting number one in a fantasy football draft, who would you take, yourself or LT?”

You may be surprised at how he answers.

Here we are again, another week in the books leading up to the NFL season.  Wait a second… we actually had a football game this week… ON FREAKIN’ TV!

Well kinda…

Preseason football is like watching a PGA tournament on Thursday, lots of faces, lots of stuff going on - not a lot of meat.  Yet, we watched it anyhow didn’t we.  We did.

Anyone else glad Art Monk is finally in the HOF?  I am a ‘Skins fan, have been for a million years and seeing him passed on over and over… made me sick.  This guy was a top-notch ball catchin’ fool.  So it was great to see him get in.  I’m glad the ovation lasted for as long as it did as well, made up for all those years he was passed on.  Could not have asked for a better crowd either to witness it.

Favre…  nah, I’m not even going to touch it.

Here is another post to help you get those rusty fantasy gears oiled and moving again. I have a quick little four round mock draft for you to look over to get an idea of how some fantasy savvy bloggers/writers and I value many of the top players.

The scoring format was based on a standard system other then the fact that QB’s will get 6 points per TD.

If you are wondering about my picks, they are in red and I will provide a little insight as to why I chose them below (your thoughts are welcome encouraged).

Oh and one more thing, make sure you stop by each of these blogs and add them to your reader or sign up for email updates - links to the sites are in the first round. That way you will never, EVER miss even a morsel of fantasy football information from now until you are counting your first place cash.

Here’s something to help get your wheels turning in preparation for your fantasy football draft. After devouring every podcast, scanning the mock draft results over on Fantasy Football Calculator’s ADP tool and reading piece after piece of fantasy football information over the past few weeks, I have started to compile a list of players who I - and other poeple in the know - think will either provide great value in your fantasy football draft or simply come out of nowhere to help out your squad.

So here they are, a few players who are not getting a ton of respect… which is fine when they are falling to you.

Quarterbacks

Mark Bulger QB (STL) - Last year his line was hammered and then so was he. They Rams lost a few o-line starters for the entire season - including the All-Pro left tackle Orlando Pace - and there was only one man who started 16 games on the line - each at different position.

He has been the 12th QB taken which mean poeple are forgetting that just a year ago - with a healthy line - he was considered top 6. That equals value. You could stock up running backs and receivers when you can get a QB A guy like this later in the draft.

With a healthy line and a suspect defense expect the Rams offense to bounce back and be required to score often.

I can’t decide which I am more excited about… the fact that fantasy football season is just around the corner, or the fact that Brett Favre is reporting to camp! Are you sensing my sarcasm? I hope so. Did we learn nothing from Joe Montana in KC? Are you looking for an Elway finish? Go ride your ATV and when you find yourself bored, build a play fort out of STACKS OF CASH… leave the Packers alone dude.

Anyone else feel like Chad Johnson is the poor man’s T.O.? Who does he think he is Corey Dillon? Shut up and do something deserving, your still on that list of mine… you know the list. The smelly one. I would rather draft T.J. anyhow.

I think that there needs to be some kind of amendment to the way we play fantasy football. Read the rest of this entry »
