Cowboys' Miles Austin a 16th-round steal in Perfect Fantasy Draft
It’s time to take one last look at what could have been with our highly controversial, often-imitated, never-duplicated Perfect Draft: The Final Cut.

There are no excuses for fantasy football title-week blunders
You deserve the goose egg, and the loss, if you made such a boneheaded blunder for locking Steven Jackson in as a starter before the Rams announcement that Jackson would be inactive, writes Ladd Biro.

12/24/2009

Fantasy football starters and benchwarmers for Week 16
You don’t need me advising you to start Drew Brees and Chris Johnson, or to bench Keith Null and Ted Ginn. So I’ll leave the obvious recommendations to the network bozos and focus instead on players typically on the bubble of most fantasy lineups, writes Ladd Biro.

Redemption is sweet for several fantasy stars in Week 15
Those vying for championships next week should keep that in mind before chasing points from this weekend’s shooting stars.  Career-bests from the likes of Joe Flacco, Maurice Morris and Mike Wallace are unlikely to be approached again this season, writes Ladd Biro.

Start 'em and sit 'em: Your Week 15 fantasy football guide
With 820 yards, eight total TDs and three INTs over the last three games, the Redskins' Jason Campbell has quietly been producing stellar fantasy numbers, writes Ladd Biro.

Week 14 proves the value of fantasy football
Fantasy football is great because you stayed alert until the waning seconds of Sunday night’s Eagles-Giants battle royale even if you had no stake in the final score, writes Ladd Biro.

12/11/2009

Start 'em and sit 'em: Your Week 14 fantasy football guide
Reggie Bush is in Sean Payton’s doghouse, and Mike Bell is dealing with a knee injury, so things are shaping up beautifully for Pierre Thomas this week against Atlanta’s rapidly imploding defense, writes Ladd Biro.

12/07/2009

Complaining only gets you so far in fantasy football
As the great Joe Walsh once sang, “I can’t complain, but sometimes I still do.” That deep thought came to mind as I surveyed my results from this weekend’s games, writes Ladd Biro.

Start 'em and sit 'em: Your Week 13 fantasy football guide
Running backs Cedric Benson of the Bengals and Matt Forte of the Bears should have big weekends against weak defenses, and Percy Harvin should shine on national TV Sunday night, writes Ladd Biro.

Another wacky fantasy season? Not so much
When you look at the big picture, a dozen weeks in there aren't a lot of big surprises in fantasy football, writes Ladd Biro.

Start 'em and sit 'em: Your Week 12 fantasy football guide
With Dwayne Bowe out, the Chiefs' Chris Chambers will be the primary target against the team that released him last year and will be motivated to get into the end zone, writes Ladd Biro.

Start 'em and sit 'em: Your Week 11 fantasy football guide
Eli Manning and his receivers should torch this secondary in the friendly confines of the Meadowlands, writes Ladd Biro.

Maurice Jones-Drew feels our Week 10 fantasy football pain
You have to give Maurice Jones-Drew credit for apologizing to his fantasy football owners for his kneel down, writes Ladd Biro.

11/13/2009

Start 'em and sit 'em: Your Week 10 fantasy football guide
Donovan McNabb’s production has been fairly pedestrian over the last four games.  Traveling cross-country to face a secondary that has held opposing passers to an average of just 162 yards since their bye, he’s a risky bet to soar, writes Ladd Biro.

Close encounters of the fantasy kind
As a nationally syndicated fantasy columnist, Ladd Biro writes he is in constant contact with the subjects of his columns.

Start 'em and sit 'em: Your Week 9 fantasy football guide
Kurt Warner is a threat to top 300 yards and post multiple TDs – even without Anquan Boldin (ankle) in the lineup – against the same secondary that Carson Palmer torched for five scores two weeks ago, writes Ladd Biro.

Week 7 proves that bad teams beget bad fantasy players
The disparity between the NFL’s best and worst teams is getting more pronounced by the week. And it’s killing the fantasy value not just of selected players, but entire teams, writes Ladd Biro.

Despite being down on him all season, Ladd Biro includes Chiefs RB Larry Johnson in his Start'em list against a weak San Diego run defense.

Start 'em and sit 'em: Your Week 6 fantasy football guide
Don't bench Drew Brees against the Giants' No. 1-ranked pass defense, writes Ladd Biro. The Saints' gunslinger is coming off a two-game stretch without a touchdown pass, he's simply too explosive to bench.

Saints quarterback Drew Brees paid big dividends with six touchdown passes against the Lions.

While Adrian Peterson and Drew Brees shined, plenty of other top picks fell flat in Week 1, writes Ladd Biro. But don't worry, there's plenty of season left.
