Tom Brady for Chris Johnson

This is a broader, more complex overall deal but at the end of the day the core pieces are Brady & CJ2K.  

Calvin Johnson & Chris Johnson for Phillip Rivers....

Blockbuster trade in the PAFFL today involving several players that are superstars.  

Revised Fantasy Football Rookie Predictions

With the PAFFL auction less than a month out (and hopefully the NFL lock out coming to an end shortly), I wanted to post a revised prediction on rookie picks for 2011.  

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.  

Charles Scott for Chris Simms and $

Interesting deal a week before the roster cutdown date (actually its a week from tomorrow, September 7th).

Chris Johnson & Calvin Johnson for DeSean Jackson, Tashard Choice, Michael Bush & Rookie Pick

This is most certainly a blockbuster, you have arguably the most talented RB & WR in the NFL being dealt for a collection of talented but slightly flawed players in a major changing of each of these team's rosters. 

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. 

Disappointing Fantasy Performers (thru 5 weeks)

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

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. 

Vince Young for Brodie Croyle & $5

Team Kitty and the Salem Beavercats agreed to a minor, salary cap era type of deal tonight.
