Frank Gore, RB, San Francisco 2012 Fantasy Football Mock Draft

I’m participating in a mock draft for a 12-team PPR league on MyFantasyLeague.com, where you can follow all of the draft picks daily. They call this the MFL 10s Experts League, and I discussed the first two rounds on Tuesday, so here are the next couple rounds! There weren't a lot of surprises, and I'm …

My good friends at MyFantasyLeague.com asked me to join a 2012 Fantasy Football Mock Draft for writers they were starting up this week. The guys at MFL do a great job with mock drafts, publicizing them, and running them. Without question, it’s one of my favorite draft setups, partially because of the no-frills look. Thinking you’d …

I'm Bryan. I like beer. Will you like beer with me? I write a little blog over at This Is Why I’m Drunk where I review craft beers and document my start as a homebrewer. Come on over and let's knock a few back. Cheers! While fans aren't yet flocking to parking lots and stadiums to …

Welcome to my Fantasy Football Rankings two-round mock draft! By mid-June, teams have pretty much sorted out who they plan to go to camp with -- and from there they'll figure out who they'll go to war with.

Trent Richardson enters the NFL season as the most anticipated rookie running back in Fantasy Football since Darren McFadden came out of Arkansas in 2008. He’s the highest drafted running back (No. 3 overall) since Reggie Bush was taken with the second pick by the Saints in 2006. Running backs can have the biggest Fantasy …

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. Several people messaged me to request I do the same, but with some of the other Fantasy Football sites. And I thought – what a great idea! I …

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? Considering the No. 1 pick in Fantasy Football is more important than in any other Fantasy sport, you have to take this situation seriously! There are very few things that …

Emmitt Smith, RB, Dallas

What is the shelf life of Fantasy Football first overall picks? How long can a stud remain the No. 1 pick? I went back to 1971 and examined the first picks in Fantasy Football in every season up through last year. I only broke down the running back position, assuming they would be the top …
