A typical fantasy football league consists of 12 teams, nine starters (QB, two RBs, three WRs, TE, K, D), and anywhere from five to seven bench players. If you go with the latter bench allotment, you’re looking at 16 roster spots or 192 draft picks. By that definition, any sleeper should have an average draft position about 180 or lower.
Arizona Cardinals WR Early Doucet sports an ADP of 263 according ...
I like Ryan Mathews this year. I think the rookie running back landed in the perfect home with San Diego.
With their strong passing game, he should have plenty of running lanes to get the job done. I just think fantasy owners may be falling a little too hard for the rookie.
Mock Draft Central has Mathews with an ADP of 16 (11th running back off the board). I know he ...
DeAngelo Williams or Jonathan Stewart: Who Should Be Drafted First?
Posted: 6th July 2010 by Ryan Lester in NFL
There aren’t many running back by commitee approaches that work as well for fantasy owners as they do for the actual NFL teams, but the Carolina Panthers one-two punch of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart is the exception.

The Rams selected their QB of the future in Sam Bradford. Unfortunately the pieces aren’t in place for him to turn things around too dramatically this year. At least there is hope.
Fantasy Playoffs Schedule: ModerateThey take on the Saints on the road in Week 14 followed by home games against Kansas City and San Francisco. It’s not a terribly frightening schedule, but aside from Steven Jackson, who are you counting ...
I expect Pete Carroll to be successful with the Seahawks…eventually. They just don’t have the pieces in place for it to happen right away.
Fantasy Playoffs Schedule: DifficultThe Seahawks take on the Niners in San Francisco in Week 14, then they play the Falcons at home. They have a nice match-up against Tampa Bay in Week 16, but it’s on the road. Plus, how many Seahawks are you going to rely ...

Here’s a look at the unheralded players who played well yesterday:
Jesse Litsch, Toronto Blue Jays (pictured) Litsch threw 7 scoreless innings allowing just 3 hits. He got bombed in his first start (2-1/3 IP, 7 runs) so you’ll have to give it a few more starts before you know what you’re dealing with.
J.D. Martin, Washington Nationals Martin took the loss despite giving up 1 run in 6 ...
