Fantasy Football has officially hit the mainstream. The TV channel "FX" is coming out with a new show about a fantasy football league. I just saw a commercial for it for the first time and below is an article I found about it. I couldn't find a youtube clip but here's a link to a short video from the show (It's under the "clips" tab):

Week 2: Rise of The H
Week 1 is behind us and The H sits with an underwhelming record of 14-16...But fear not! Week 2 will be a different story.
For those not familiar with ffoc scoring, each week it is possible to get 2 wins: 1 for winning your head-to-head matchup, and 1 for placing in the top half of your league. I have 15 teams so 30 possible wins each week. (10 teams are $10 Q teams, 3 Tier teams I won for finishing 1st in my league last year, 1 team was paid for with referral credits, and I bought my live draft Pujols entry.)
In an age where the best NFL players play little or none at all in the preseason, it's not surprising that those players fail to impress week 1. Last week brought the superstars down to Earth and we should see much more focused football from the fantasy greats moving forward.
I expect to see improvement from players like Cutler, Palmer, Shaub, Andre Johnson, Boldin, Jacobs, Slaton, BIRONAS...all players prevalent on my teams.
It's not all bad after week 1. Of my 5 Tier teams, 3 are 2-0. My Live draft team is 0-2 but I have faith in that team...Cutler, Jacobs, AJ, and Boldin are all elite players who will improve.
GOOD LUCK WEEK 2!

CBS Rapid Reports
You can find this NFL news app toward the bottom of the blog. It's a good source of current news team by team...see what's going on with your favorite team:
The Race To The Million
The opening game. Steelers vs Titans. The race is on! It's great to be watching NFL football! I have very few players from either the Steelers or Titans on any of my fantasy teams, but I probably have Rob Bironas, kicker for the Titans, on more teams than any other player. I also have Santonio Holmes on a team and the Titans D on a team. Come on Bironas!
UPDATE: Come ON BIRONAS! 37 Yards?! My 5 year old could have made that! And not 5 minutes after I posted this braggin' on ya.
UPDATE: ARE YOU SERIOUS BIRONAS?! This time it was a blocked punt. Bironas: -6
There is an amusing thread on the ffoc forum with Bironas owners expressing their grievances.
FINAL: Bironas fought back from a -6 to a -1...still not good. I had Bironas in my lineup on 6 teams...and on the bench on another 3. I hope he picks it up! On the bright side I wasn't expecting a big game from Santonio Holmes against a tough Titans D but he put up 19 points with 130 yards and a TD. Despite Holmes' good game, the Titans defense was still a good play with 13 pts allowed,4 sacks, and 3 turnovers for 14 points. Steelers with the win 13-10 in overtime. It was a GREAT game to kick off the season! Big Ben looked great. My man Gage looked great too...Steve Smith might be riding the pine again this year if Gage is on my team!

Those Guys Drive Favre Crazy
I was pretty sick of the Favre saga but it's nice to see him poke a little fun at himself. It's funny how drafting a guy can make you change your tune about him. Go Favre!
4 DAYS AND COUNTING!!!

The Final Q
...and it looks good. I think I have 2 top 10 QBs. Brandon Jacobs will lead the league in TDs/game...it's just a question of how many games he can play. I have Bradshaw to back him up. Bush is available late in drafts because he can't stay healthy but when he plays he's a monster in that offense. Last year in the FFOC he was the top RB until he was hurt. I'll gamble on the upside and hope he can play weeks 11-16 when it counts. Felix Jones is my backup plan and could be this year's Chris Johnson...the guy has MOVES and is being touted as the centerpiece of the Cowboys offense. If he misses games Tashard Choice will be solid. Stewart rounds out my bench and should be a TD machine once he's healthy. Witten is a sure top 3 TE. Two top 5 defenses. My WR3 spot is a gamble but I'm calling for a 10 TD year from Chris Henry. Some might say his preseason is over-hyped, but he had 9 TDs in '06, he's young, and Housh is gone. If Palmer stays healthy Henry could be huge. Cotchery may start the season for me until I see how Henry plays out. Chambers has some upside playing in a good offense and is a capable WR3. I've been waiting 3 years for Jacoby Jones to step up. Since I have Andre Johnson and Jones had 148 yards and a TD Friday night, I took him as a handcuff for AJ with upside. Maybe this is the year.

"Drafting the Perfect Team" from Funston and Evans
Fantasy Football Live on Yahoo Sports comes on every Sunday morning during the NFL season starting at 11:00am CT. This is a live internet show on Yahoo that allows viewers to call in or email the Yahoo "experts" for last minute advice on who to sit or start. Funston and Evans are two of those experts and they have some good draft advice that's in line with my draft strategy this year. Keep in mind that the FFOC fantasy game allows you to start 2 QBs which is an unusual format...adjust accordingly.
