7:Forget about bye weeks
There’s nothing worse than having 2 QB’s on the same bye week. After you draft your players, write down the week that team is off on a bye. When it’s time to draft your back-up players, look at the match-ups.
6: Drink your face off
Everybody loves draft day, but if your head’s not in it, you’ll end up with a handful of bums and kickers.
5: Draft your favorite players
People tend to pick players based on teams they love and avoid players they hate. Unless you like wasting money, try to draft the best team and cheer for your favorite players on the side. The Cowboys and Patriots are great fantasy teams despite all the haters.
4:Underestimate the time of a draft
Some people try to squeeze a fantasy draft in between work or things to do. If you’re rushed you’ll make poor decisions.
3.Obsess over Running Backs
We all know how important a stud RB is, but Quarterbacks and Receivers are just as important. Try to take the best available player; you don’t …Continue reading 7 Ways to Screw Up Your Fantasy Draft

Plaxico Burress was jailed in 2009 for possession of a firearm. For those of you who are unsure of the scenario, not only did he possess a firearm, he shot himself in the leg with it inside the Latin Quartier night club. It’s been a while since the Gridiron crew has even mentioned him, so let’s take a sneak peek into what’s going on in his life.
Prior to the Super Bowl many of us witnessed a CBS special interview of Plaxico led by Bill Cohwer, in which Plax expressed his remorse for his actions, not only for himself, but also for the problems he had caused the Giants organization. He describes his actions as a “selfish decision” and goes onto say that in the in the future he “wants to be a better brother, friend, and football player”.
More recently, this past January Plaxico was just denied a work release by the New York Department of Correctional Services. Under this rationale the corrections department chose not release him: “At no time did you report this incident to local law enforcement. As such, it is determined that you must serve a greater portion of your sentence prior to consideration for potential participation in the temporary release …Continue reading What’s Plax up to These Days?
The Cleveland Browns have signed tight end Ben Watson to a three-year deal worth $12 million, including $6.35 million guaranteed. Watson, the former Patriot was one of our top 5 sleeper free agents and we feel this is a great addition for the Browns. Cleveland was missing a weapon in the tight end position after trading away Kellen Winslow last year. Slowing and quietly the Browns are taking form, the NFL draft should be interesting to see which direction Mike Holmgren wants to go with this club, improve the defense or play for the future with young offensive talent.
Free agent LaDainian Tomlinson left Vikings headquarters without a contract Thursday evening. The poor guy is intent on signing with a team that will make him more than a number 2 guy, good luck
Comcast Sports Net Philadelphia reports the Seahawks are interested only in Kevin Kolb, not Donovan McNabb. The Eagles are known for making back up QB’s look amazing and should consider a high draft pick for Kolb. A couple years back the Eagles got a high 2nd round pick for A.J Feely, after trading him to the Dolphins. He was a bust and re-signed with the team a couple years later. Other Eagle news: Philadelphia has signed WR Hank Baskett to a one-year contract, Friday.
Patriots re-signed RB Kevin Faulk to a one-year, $2 million contract, including a $1 million signing bonus.
The Redskins are “very much interested” in signing free agent running back Larry Johnson, according to NFL Network’s Jason LaCanfora.
Chad Ohiocinco as stupid as that name is, can move boulders with the media and the fan base in Cincinnati. When he’s un-happy, the team plays poorly and the fans get ticked off. When Chad’s goofing around and getting his way, the Bengals are contenders.
This offseason, number 85 has made a small request to his front office; add veteran wide receiver Terrell Owens to the Bengals Orange and Black…he (for now) has been ignored.
The Bengals instead have gone out and signed a different WR option in Antonio Bryant, who has agreed to a four-year deal with the Cincinnati Bengals Wednesday. Dancing with the Stars will distract the unpredictable big mouth, and only time will tell if he cares or not, but if you ignore the wishes of your bratty kid and go out and buy him the wrong action figure….odds are he kicks and screams for the one he wanted.
Antonio Bryant had career highs with 83 catches for 1,248 yards and seven touchdowns in 2008 with Tampa Bay.
This series of articles focuses on how the new breed of talent from the NFL draft plans to affect overall fantasy football player value.
