It's hard to believe that we're already halfway through the NFL season. With the calendar turning to November in a few days, that likely means that the trade deadline in your fantasy league is around the corner. What better way to get ready for the trade deadline than with some updated rest-of-season rankings? That was a trick question; there is no better way.All right, you didn't open this article to hear me talk. You came for the rankings. So, without further ado, my fantasy football positional rankings for the rest of…

To illustrate just how quickly things can change in fantasy football, one just needs to view the current running back landscape compared to a few short weeks ago.

The weekly rankings are more in flux this week than in your typical Week 1. You may…

Let me start by saying that I usually do not advise drafting any rookie early in fantasy football.

Making the transition from the NCAA to the NFL has proven to be a daunting task for most rookies. The list of rookie fantasy assets over the last decade or so isn’t very long. There have been plenty of talented offensive players over the last several years, but carving out a role as a fantasy asset usually…

With the 2017 NFL Draft on the horizon (it starts on Thursday), I have decided to put together a Mock Draft of the first round.  This is all in fun as it seems almost everyone has an opinion on what teams will do in the draft and they are usually wrong.  Here is the way I think it will go, barring trades:Also, check out Jim Bay's Mock Draft HereCleveland Browns - Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M - The Browns suffered through a horrible 1-15 season in 2016, so they earned this pick.  With it they do the smart thing…
