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. 

Carson Palmer, Antonio Gates, Brandon Jacobs for Tony Gonzales, Darren Sproles, Matt Hasselbeck & Nate Davis: Fantasy Football Trade

In arguably the biggest deal of the 2009 PAFFL season, Fuego and The Beavercats exchanged a lot of big names. 

Chris Johnson for LT & DeAngelo Williams

This is easily the biggest PAFFL trade of the regular season, mostly because it involves two of the young stud backs that will continue to be impactful for a couple of years, and easily the most productive, fantasy football RB of this decade. 

Willie Parker, Randy Moss and more for Vincent Jackson and more

The first truly interesting fantasy football deal of the regular season was consummated today by BINGO and Team Kitty (aka trader jack). 

Disappointing Fantasy Performers (thru 5 weeks)

Here are a list of fantasy players who have underperformed expectations so far in 2009. 

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. 

Jacob Hester's true identity?

Word on the street is that some folks in the PAFFL aren't aware what race San Diego's hybrid RB/FB Jacob Hester, who they selected in the 3rd round of this year's draft, is.  We wanted to clear it up. He's number 18.

DeAngelo Williams for Bernard Berrian & Vincent Jackson

IMT and East Bay Funk, division rivals, completed a deal today, less than five days from the 2008 Auction.

2007 Fantasy Football All-PAFFL Team

The 2007 regular season is finalized and its time to recognize the studs that made this regular season sizzle and led to the Ron Jeremy Fanclub being the leading PAFFL team throughout the regular season.  You'll notice some trends as QB-WR tandems in New England & Dallas have exploded this year to dominant their respective positions unlike any other tandems in NFL history.

SI's NFL Team Power Rankings

SI.com's Peter King published his first of many 'Power Rankings' for the upcoming NFL season.  Though its hard to argue with his predictions, particularly at this point, I have to say that Indy at #1 is a little off center and likely a nod to their super bowl title from last season.  The reality is San Diego and New England both improved themselves while Indy (which barely beat NE at home in the AFC Championship game) took a step back due to defections in free agency.
