Fellas, this gem was laying on "The REAL Feed" and needed to be shared:
http://www.startribune.com/stories/503/4030114.html.
I don't completely agree with the guy's "tiers". For one, he seems to like Kordell Stewart A LOT.  But, it's an intriguing read, nonetheless, and may inspire some interesting discussion.
ENJOY!

Fellas, another nice fantasy read from "The REAL Feed" that needed sharing:
Fantasy football: Go for tight ends and wide outs early this year
StarTribune: Sports (21.08.2003 14:56)
As my father used to say, grossness is often next to greatness. Such is the case at the wide receiver and tight end positions, where a few gems can be found among those seemingly endless legions of stiffs.
Here is a direct link:

ENJOY!

These two FF goodies are off "The REAL Feed", one of them was actually indirectly gotten by way of a "blog" report/post, which is kind of neat:
Fantasy football: Welcome to life in an auction league
StarTribune: Sports (28.08.2003 10:58)
It's here. For the first time in our league's nine-year history, we're going with an auction instead of a draft. Twelve teams, $100 cap per club, and no idea what's going to happen.

10 reasons why life is better with Fantasy Football. I've been a fan of the NFL for decades, but fantasy football has racheted my interest in the game 1000%. I probably would still have no idea who Freddie Jones was if I hadn't spent the 2001 season cursing his lack of production. Graham Hays really captures how fantasy sports makes old fans learn new tricks.

Gotta' love gettin' FF-specific stuff on "The REAL Feed"! Very cool... 8) and not the usual! Best FF news feed on the net, in my humble, "objective"  opinion! Anyway, STRAIGHT off "The REAL Feed", for whatever it's worth, here are some last-minute cheatsheets from About.com; interesting to peruse in the least:

Enjoy what the Rock is cookin' up for ya's!

Agreed, Noey! Cheating in fantasy football (well, I think, in anything in life... I'm not an advocate of "if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'," but that's another subject...) in any way is queer!
...
Anyway, to the subject at hand, the following, straight from the top of "The REAL Feed", is a very nice article about ALL the RBBC's there are anymore. Definitely worth a look-see:
http://www.startribune.com/stories/503/4170823.html.
And, of course, don't forget about our very own "Fantasy Articles" section, which is full of all kinds of goodies, including Jeff West's latest edition of "Directions"! ENJOY!

"The REAL Feed" provides more FF treats, on Halloween no less...
This piece is a first-half (of the season) overview and a second-half preview. It makes some good cases. BUT, I don't agree with his second-half bust, at least not after T.O.'s team defeats the Rams this week at home with Rattay under center   :
http://www.startribune.com/stories/503/4181859.html.
Now, this piece, I don't know what to make of. It's a tongue-and-cheek, I think, defense of fantasy football,... I think.  I suppose it is an interesting read in light of my (latest) piece (from October 3rd), "The State and Face of Fantasy Football", available via our "Fantasy Articles" section. I think he's being sarcastic... sometimes, I guess.  It's worth a look-see anyway:

) and he's a bit pretentious, to the point of rude, at times, but it's still a fun read.

: 
for a Wednesday afternoon straight from "The REAL Feed". It's a mailbag type of piece that disusses the fantasy-league issue of "shady one-week trades" as well as what the future holds for the Minnesota backs, Williams, Smith and Bennett:
