BryanWeimer: I think Ronnie Brown will still be worth a start (even against the feared Ravens) and Calvin Johnson will have one of his best days of the season. Aside from that, good stuff.

BryanWeimer: I don't buy Tebow as a Top 10 pick and I can't see him playing QB at the next level. I hope he can, and I like his confidence and the kid definitely has the swag to lead a team. I just don't think he could stay healthy running head down like he does, and if you take that away from his game, i don't think he's a successful NFL QB. I think Jake Locker (UW) is a much better runner and does a lot more with less. I think there are many better passers than Tebow. I would rank him behind Stafford and Bradford, but that's just me. Nice little article though.
2009 impact rookies - early peek at QBs
BryanWeimer: Earnest Graham can't be considered a sleeper - he tore it up last season and started for over half the year. That's like saying Ryan Grant is a sleeper. I don't know if Jones can be a sleeper these days either - I don't think anyone in New York Green is sleeping now that Brett is there with his media alarm clock. I fully dig the "who" section though, and Jerious Norwood always finds a sleeper home in my heart.
Yet Another Sleeper Article: RB’s
BryanWeimer: I think most of the guys in this article are pretty obvious as breakout players, but can we really say that Marshawn Lynch is going to "break out"? In my opinion, he's broken out already. As a rookie he busted 1000 rushing yards and scored some TDs for a very suspect offense run by a rookie QB for much of the season. He's out. Holmes is already broken out, Reggie Bush is broken out in PPR leagues. Fasano as an honorable mention? That's a nice sleeper breakout pick.
2008 Breakout Players
BryanWeimer: This is a decent rankings with some things I like and some things I don't. First of all, the reason for AP over LT - questioning LT's durability? How could you say that? He's one of the most consistent and durable runners of all time. I like Barber up the list - #4 is a good place for him, if not higher. With all the weapons in Indy, will Addai soar? Check it out.

Fantasy Football - Trading: When and why
BryanWeimer: Again, a lot of bloggage here, but right off the bat Ted Carlson is on to something. In his Yes Way Jose article, Ted talks about his people and their need to always dwell on the bad. Jose is having a great year, and I like his reflection as well as his bringing Jose to my attention, I'm going to pick him up right away.
Yes Way, Jose?
BryanWeimer: Okay, I know this gives a list of a lot of articles, but the first one is pretty informative and funny considering the things this guy is talking about are actually true. Baseball just got a little more ridiculous.
The Whacky Side of Baseball
BryanWeimer: I hate that damn 5-dollar foot long song from Subway - what the hell are they so excited about? It's a sandwich for $5. Meet, mayo, cheese, lettuce - $5 - that's not freaking that good of a deal! Damn them. Good article also.

BryanWeimer: If Lawrence Jackson is there with the Patriots second round pick, I will be stunned. If they pass him up at that spot, I will be even more stunned. Very thorough article about the Patriots here. Good stuff.
Buzzing about the draft - Boston.com
BryanWeimer: For the MILLIONTH time - why would the Patriots waste all that money on a cornerback when they could have just kept a sure thing All-Pro for the same cash? Does it seem confusing? Yes, because it is.

BryanWeimer: I think it's hard to compare Alex's contract with other crappy contracts - sure, his millions are worth way more than 4 other guys that have ludicrous contracts, but give me 4 young guys with half million dollar deals and I'll take them over his 28 mil a year... Baseball is a joke, I just put up an article talking about Pay-Rod's deal... Still, he's the best in the game, it's hard to argue he's getting way too much dough.

BryanWeimer: One of the best catchers in fantasy baseball, I don't think this is that worrisome, but if you're doing later drafts, I still like the all around game of Russell in L.A. just as much as Victor's big hitting style.

BryanWeimer: You can still get Hampton for nothing in most leagues. Ditch one of those benched hitters and pick him up, he'll be good while he's healthy, and when he does go down, you can just drop him and pick up some other guy - right now he costs you nothing and his upside is good.
Hampton feeling good going into first season since 2005
BryanWeimer: It looks to me like Johan is going to be Johan, just in the National league, which means he's a surefire pitching stud... Get him if you can!

BryanWeimer: I think Brian Brohm, behind a good offensive line, is the best quarterback in this bunch, but you're you're probably right, Ryan is the better all around player.

BryanWeimer: Good stuff, I think Upton is the bigger upside pick, but Brandon Phillips is a bigger sure thing - though both are not the stuff of long term examples of good fantasy numbers. Solid Rankings!
