Leaving no stone unturned, we highlight 50+ players that every owner should know about. </description><pubDate>Wednesday, September 03, 2008</pubDate></item><item><title>PKs and D/STs to Target</title><author>Stan Feldman</author><link>http://www.thefantasyfootballtimes.com/fftimes/content/default.aspx?CID=673</link><description>The major positions of a fantasy roster are going to score points each week, so it’s the little things like getting extra points out of your kicker and defense that sometimes helps owners win games. Think of these positions as the Special Teams of Fantasy Football. Most NFL playoff contenders have great special teams, well the same goes for fantasy football champions too.</description><pubDate>Monday, September 01, 2008</pubDate></item><item><title>Tips on Projecting Stats</title><author>Greg Bebezas</author><link>http://www.thefantasyfootballtimes.com/fftimes/content/default.aspx?CID=672</link><description>These days, we see projected stats littered all over the internet like a spider web waiting to capture its prey.

Since we cannot just place these critical foresights with anyone, I have asked a famous guest speaker for his forecast. You might know him by the name of Nostradamus.</description><pubDate>Tuesday, August 26, 2008</pubDate></item><item><title>Rookie Runners to Watch</title><author>Stan Feldman</author><link>http://www.thefantasyfootballtimes.com/fftimes/content/default.aspx?CID=671</link><description>It’s time to face facts – there is no Adrian Peterson in this year’s draft class. That doesn’t mean, however, that rookie running backs won’t play a major role in the 2008 fantasy season. There are potentially four rookies who will start at tailback in Week 1, and several others who will make significant contributions throughout the year.</description><pubDate>Monday, August 25, 2008</pubDate></item><item><title>Drafting TEs Effectively</title><author>Stan Feldman</author><link>http://www.thefantasyfootballtimes.com/fftimes/content/default.aspx?CID=670</link><description>Traditionally, nobody wants to be the first person to draft a tight end, a defense, or a kicker. For many fantasy owners, it seems tough to justify a roster spot for a TE, but it is a necessary evil because the position represents a significant portion of a fantasy roster.</description><pubDate>Wednesday, August 20, 2008</pubDate></item><item><title>Draft Strategies for the QB Position</title><author>Stan Feldman</author><link>http://www.thefantasyfootballtimes.com/fftimes/content/default.aspx?CID=667</link><description>Overpaying or failing to secure at least a reliable quarterback option can be detrimental to a Fantasy Bowl Championship run. This makes drafting quarterbacks a tough balancing act for owners every year. And if you ask them, most will agree that when and where to pull the trigger on a quarterback is an art form.</description><pubDate>Monday, August 11, 2008</pubDate></item><item><title>Hot Tip: Don't Pass Up Elite WRs</title><author>Greg Bebezas</author><link>http://www.thefantasyfootballtimes.com/fftimes/content/default.aspx?CID=659</link><description>Don't underestimate the lack of quality elite WRs this year. In monitoring mock drafts over the past three months, we're seeing that many owners are catching on, as the top 10-14 ranked WRs are now more than likely going to be gone by the middle of the 3rd round. And as a group their ADPs (average draft positions) are trending higher.</description><pubDate>Friday, August 08, 2008</pubDate></item><item><title>Young Breakout WRs</title><author>Stan Feldman</author><link>http://www.thefantasyfootballtimes.com/fftimes/content/default.aspx?CID=657</link><description>A receiver's third season is generally regarded as the year in which a young wideout will become a viable offensive threat. Having adjusted to the intricate playbooks and the speed of NFL secondaries, third year WRs usually become some of the biggest surprises of any given fantasy season. We highlight a handful of 2nd and 3rd year WRs who enter the year in positions that could allow them to produce quality fantasy numbers for owners this season.</description><pubDate>Monday, August 04, 2008</pubDate></item><item><title>RBBC Breakdowns</title><author>Stan Feldman</author><link>http://www.thefantasyfootballtimes.com/fftimes/content/default.aspx?CID=647</link><description>A key part to a successful fantasy campaign is properly predicting the outcome of various running back battles across the league. Entering the 2008 season, 19 teams have either yet to decide how they will utilize their running backs or will use a two-back system as part of their offensive scheme. When all is said and done, at least 45 backs will be affected in one way or another. </description><pubDate>Monday, July 28, 2008</pubDate></item><item><title>Hot Tip: Deep Pool of #1-2 RBs</title><author>Greg Bebezas</author><link>http://www.thefantasyfootballtimes.com/fftimes/content/default.aspx?CID=646</link><description>There's a deep pool of #1-2 RBs this season. According to our cheat sheet rankings, there are 27 backs that are rated as either #1s or #2s, which is nearly 10 more players than we had rated that high compared to last year. </description><pubDate>Friday, July 25, 2008</pubDate></item><item><title>Contract Year Player Analysis</title><author>Stan Feldman </author><link>http://www.thefantasyfootballtimes.com/fftimes/content/default.aspx?CID=642</link><description>In the NFL there are no guarantees and that includes player salaries.

One of the most important things to know when you draft a fantasy football team is that the total number of points a player earns is not important, the important thing is how many points a player earns compared to others at his position.</description><pubDate>Thursday, July 10, 2008</pubDate></item><item><title>Notes on Ranking Wide Receivers</title><author>Greg Bebezas</author><link>http://www.thefantasyfootballtimes.com/fftimes/content/default.aspx?CID=623</link><description>It's NFL Mock Draft week.

I chose to make him a keeper over Donovan McNabb and Torry Holt. I got excited about the numbers he might put up.
