I was listening to Paul Charchian (LeagueSafe) on KFAN the other day and they were discussing whether or not it is kosher, or even possible, to ditch your favorite childhood team. Well, this really got me thinking and I wanted to share my thoughts with you.

My Team

As some of you may know I am a Vikes fan and if you have followed them at all, then you know they not an easy team to be a fan of. They have broken my heart a million times, they repeatedly underachieve and do some boneheaded things. So why not just find another team right? I could save myself the heartache and just find another squad with a better track record. Simple right? Read the rest of this entry »

I know, I know, I said I was done with this site - and I am (on a regular basis anyway) - but I guess this fantasy blogging stuff is just to damn hard to put down, and well… I kinda miss you guys.

Anyway, I wanted to throw this out there for you.  Last night my buddy and I were throwing around some names of guys that we thought we would like to have on our team this year.

Read them over and see if you agree or disagree and then, in the coments below, throw down some of the names that may be circling around in your head.

Lee Evans WR (BUF) - While everyone in your league jumps all over the TO train, wait a round or two and grab Evans. He showed in the past that he can be a monster when there is someone else keeping the defence honest.

Roy Williams WL (DAL) - Remember him? He still has skills and the Cowboys will still have a good offense with or without TO. Roy will be the go to guy.

Percy Harvin WR (MIN) - I’m not as high on this guy as my buddy seems to be but there is no doubt the the Vikes intend to give him tohe opportunity to succeed. If he is as good as advertised, he could do just that.

Don’t break the bank on him because  I really don’t see him as being much more than a bit player for your team.  Kinda like a feast or famine type player. 2 plus TD’s one week and goose eggs for the next two.

Chris Henry WR (CIN) - With housh in Seattle and Palmer healthy, Chris Henry should get the opportunity to mix it up for the Bengals.

Jerome Harrison RB (CLE) - He is turning heads in Minicamp. Could he be a poor mans Leon Wahington for Mangini’s Browns?

Kyle Orton QB (DEN) - No he is not Jay Cutler but he has all the guys that Cutler had to through to and the same crappy defense to compensate for. How hard could it be to throw to a guy like Brandon Marshall?

I know this list is incomplete but that is were you come in. Help us build a nice list by posting your picks in the comments below.

But anyway, there ya go. That should start getting the fantasy gears turning.

OH! And one last thing before I go. Whether you are new or a Goat veteran, you will want to sign up for the new newsletter I set up. Why? Not only will I be sending out each posts right to your inbox but there will be times when I will send you some stuff that I don’t want to share with the world by posting live.  Get the newsletter now!

As the weeks go by your line up decisions get more and more important. From here on out every decision - good or bad - is magnified by ten. Let me help you make sure your decision are the good kind. Here are my thoughts on six players you may be considering this Sunday.

Start em if you got em

Dwayne Bowe WR (KC) -The Chiefs have been putting some offense together lately. They are averaging almost 24 points a game in their last three. A big reason for that has been the play of quarterback Tyler Thigpen. This week KC welcomes the reeling and batter the 27th ranked Saints defense to Arrowhead. Look for D. Bowe to let it all hang out this week with 7-10 catches for 100+ and at least one touchdown.

Santana Moss WR (WAS) - Maybe this is obvious by now but just in case you didn’t catch it. Mini Moss has made the Boys his beeatch lately. In his last three games against them he’s had 25 catches for 381 and two touchdown. There is no reason that should change this Sunday night. Look for 100+ and 1-2 touchdowns.

Alright, now that you and I have those pesky bye weeks out of the way, let’s start thinking playoffs and league championships. See if any of these guys belong in your train of thought.

May be available now…

Tyler Thigpen QB (KC) - Not to long ago he was a desperation play, boy has he come a long way. Three solid games in a row. This week he went for 266 and three touchdowns (and no turnovers). The KC offense is playing good right now and their schedule features some soft defenses with games against the Saint, Broncos, San Diego, and Cinci. You could do a lot worse if you are looking for a QB.

Brady Quinn QB (CLE) -He was solid in his debut and has a few decent match ups down the stretch if you are out of options.

Larry Johnson RB (KC) - It is possible that some owner in your league gave up on the guy. If so, why not grab him. The offense is playing pretty damn good, their schedule is fairly soft from this point on and they are pretty much out of running backs. Who know what he will do when he returns this week from suspension to play the Saints but why not throw him on the bench until you know for sure.
