2011 Fantasy Football Rookie Rankings

I love the NFL draft because it creates some clarity for team depth charts and most importantly brings new talent into the league.  This year, thanks to the lockout, the draft takes on more importance than any other over the past 24 years I've been following the draft, because there's been no free agency or trades, thus resulting in NFL teams applying need based selections more than I can remember in past drafts.  

Jed York Needs to Start Over....

I'm a suffering San Francisco 49'ers fan, granted I have all the great 80's & 90's memories to carry me over to a better time but after watching the 49'ers collapse again last night versus another talented but underachieving San Diego Chargers team, I began to wonder, have they ever been this bad before?

49'ers Coaching Staff Unprepared

Following the San Francisco 49'ers debacle of an opener in Seattle yesterday, I think its time to start discussing who the next head coach should be.   

Vernon Davis for Hakeem Nicks & Greg Olsen

This was a trade that happened the night before the '10 auction but wanted it to be documented here, especially given how often PAFFL owners complain that IMT doesn't listen to or complete trades with teams. 

Is Alex Smith a starting NFL QB?

As a lifelong NFL fan and diehard 49'ers supporter (I grew up with season tickets during the great 80's & early 90's teams), I hate to pose this question but it needs to be answered and a final decision needs to be made in 2010 for the 49'ers to progress.  

That question is simple, is Alex Smith, the former #1 overall selection in '05 by the 49'ers, a viable starting NFL QB? 

Glen Coffee for future value

Since this trade is now part of our history, its important to document it here.  

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. 

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.
