Fantasy Surprise Performers (thru 5 weeks)

I wanted to highlight a handful of players who are outperforming their expected pre-season performance. 

Roster Cut-Down Trade Recaps

There were at least seven (by my official count) small deals consummated on the final roster cut-down day.  I may have missed one or two, hopefully this captures everything. 

'09 Deep Sleeper Dynasty Gems

For most fantasy leagues these guys are longshots and not worthy of roster spots but in the paffl, these are all guys that should have been brought up at the auction and be on a roster b/c they've shown talent & could surprise if injuries or poor performance ahead of them give them the opportunity.  

Steve McNair shot & killed

With the news dominated by the passing of Michael Jackson, the NFL and fantasy football communities lost a great player today.  Steve McNair was apparently murdered, shot & killed, in an apartment with a female friend.  The 36 year old, three time pro bowler and one of the first african-american quarterbacks to have the poise of a traditional drop back style thrower to also have the mobility to win games with his legs, will be missed. 

NFL All Rookie Fantasy Team for '08

With the vast majority of Fantasy Football leagues finished and the NFL season nearly concluded, here are the top '08 rookies and guys to look for in 2009. 

Mark Clayton for $

Firkin Crawlers & the Beavercats complete a small deal.

Ravens and Favre?

I wrote a blurb on this on the collective.  I think it's a perfect fit!

Nate Burleson, DS Spot & $5 for a Topper/Holdover

The Fightin' Irie kept the momentum with another deal, this time with the Ron Jeremy Fanclub who felt compelled to over pay to secure the services of '07 MVP Tom Brady.

2008 NFL Rookie Values Redux

Ok, I did this right after the NFL draft in April but following OTA's & mini-camps, and the stupidity of veterans (such as Cedric Benson) a lot has changed since then.  So I wanted to take another pass at this.             

Is there an NFL conspiracy for the Patriots?

Following Monday Night's game between the Baltimore Ravens and the New England Patriots, there are allegations about a possible NFL conspiracy to aid the Pats in their quest for an undefeated season.  While many of the allegations are coming off as sour grapes from disgruntled and frustrated Ravens defensive players, its an interesting topic.
