Draft Strategies Part I: What the Experts Say
This is the first part of a multi-part series of articles detailing the various draft strategies involved in team-based fantasy football games. These fantasy leagues run from the first game of the season through to the Superbowl, and have a simple scoring system of a win equals a point. Most team-based games have each player [...]
Franchise Fantasy for the Hardcore Fantasy Player
Part of what we pitch at FFS is the fact that the game can be played by literally any level of NFL fan (passive all the way up to the face painter). And it certainly extends well beyond the fantasy sports junkie to the people that flat out don’t like fantasy sports at all.

Bayou Babe and the “Women Only Leagues”
My good friend Jill in Atlanta brought to my attention that Bayou Babe in the Bras NOT Bros League also has both the Saints and the Colts. The downside for the rest of the members of that league is that the Super Bowl becomes a bit less interesting (more time to focus on the ads I guess). A big [...]

Early NFL Team Power Rankings - Perfect for JHB Sports Drafts
I thought this was a pretty good breakdown of NFL team rankings going into the 2009 NFL season. These are often some of the best resourses going into a JHB Sports NFL team style fantasy football draft. Althought I don’t agree with everything Peter King of SI says here, I do like the way he breaks it [...]
Vince Young a Winner?
I always seem to remember Vince Young winning games. From his UT Championship against USC to his outstanding rookie year in the NFL. For some reason I get the feeling that no mater where he goes, winning football games will follow.
