Ryan Mathews, RB, San Diego Chargers -- He's now a top-five Fantasy RB according to some.

Earlier, I looked at the Average Fantasy Rankings for Quarterbacks, and found a few players that several sites are in disagreement about, including Peyton Manning and Philip Rivers. But running backs – the backbone of any good Fantasy Football team – are usually the most deliberated of positions, and the average Fantasy Football rankings for …

After going over the Fantasy Football rankings for some of the major media sites, like CBSSports.com, ESPN.com and NFL.com, I posted the averages for your viewing pleasure.

Taking Arian Foster first overall seems to be the smart pick for 2012, but what does the Fantasy Football history of the No. 1 pick suggest?

If you read my previous column, then you know that I have little to no advice to give on how to use the D.E.N.N.I.S. system (Shout out to all you Always Sunny fans out there). My only chance of demonstrating value is explaining what BABIP means, and why it is so important when deciphering hot …

This is a guest blog sent over from my friends at TradeDebate.com, where users are able to post possible trade scenarios and the community votes on the winning side.  Hot starts in baseball are a lot like hot woman.

This is a great, well-thought out blog post from Mat Harrison's "Fantasy Sports Diary," but I just don't agree with a lot of it, unfortunately. First, check out A Guide to Fantasy Trading, by Fantasy Sports Diary, then we'll talk. It's not to say that I think he's wrong -- but that Fantasy Baseball owners are …

This weekend, a group of friends are joining me for yet another baseball trip. We're flying up from Fort Lauderdale to the Washington, D.C., area, where we're going to catch a Beltway Series game between the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Nationals Friday night. My buddies and I ... we like the beer. So I …
