Plenty of Stud PAFFL QB's Available in '10

Unlike what we witnessed in '09 where there were essentially only 2 of the top 15 fantasy quarterbacks open and available at this year's annual auction (Tom Brady & Peyton Manning), due to expiring contracts, this next year's auction will see approximately 8 of the top 15 open. 

Steve Smith for Reggie Bush - Fantasy Football Trade

Firkin Fanclub is on a roll making deals in a playoff push.  

Reggie Bush for rookie picks

Confirmed by multiple sources (including one of the principals), Team Kitty & BINGO completed a trade last night over drinks at a couple of watering holes over the span of several hours. 

Top PAFFL Contracts

Another former tradition that I've gotten away from is highlighting some of the great contracts in the PAFFL.  This historically was to highlight the new deals but I think its important to showcase the best deals regardless of what year they were put on as long as they carry the same characteristic which is high production per dollar cost value.  Thus the stars at more than $55 (at QB & RB or $35+ at WR) won't be on this list unless they're way out pacing LT's '06 or Brady's '07 production, which nobody is coming close to this year. 

Torry Holt & a rookie pick for Marques Colston

This is an interesting deal, one that on paper helps the Jack Trippers both in the near term as well as long term but provides the higher valued player to Los Frijoles Pintos later this year and next. 

Reggie Bush for Jonathan Stewart...

BINGO, which is fast becoming the new Team Kitty, dealt their #2 overall rookie pick to Los Frijoles Pintos today in a relatively big deal. 

Shaun Alexander, RB, SEA for Marques Colston, WR, NO ($35, 2009)

The Salem Beavercats send WR Marques Colston ($35, 2009) to The Jack Trippers for RB Shaun Alexander and the removal of the rookie pick protection from the Chris Chambers deal earlier this season (picks 1-2 were protected in that deal, now the Beavercats have the opportunity to grab the number 1 or 2 if the Trippers repeat on their rookie playoff prominence of the past.  Darren McFadden could be the next Adrian Peterson).

Week 9 Waiver Wire / Free Agent Pickups

Below are a list of potentially valuable Waiver Wire / Free Agent pickups for week 9 of the NFL season.  Maybe some of these guys aren’t worth a damn in shallow leagues but what’s the fun in dropping Marvin Harrison b/c he’s out a week for a guy like Wes Welker who is available as the #3 receiver in New England.  Ok, Welker shouldn’t be available in ANY league format but you get the point.

Looking to make deals

I know I always believe I have an obscene amount of talent but sense I scout and spend more time on this than most people, in the PAFFL and in general, I typically end up having success both with players I keep and deal.  This year I've been very quiet (I suspect just about all of you know since I've gone from sending emails about deal ideas weekly, sometimes daily, to eerily silent) due to workload on both my primary job and side passions like FFCollective, TheWino.net and this site. 

Sophomore RB Analysis
