Fantasy Key Pick of 07

I've been writing these briefly in between meetings, so if some ideas seem incomplete, blame yourselfs for your lack of donations therefore i must find outside sources of income.

But, Key for your fantasy team for 07.

Atonio Gates (TE from SD)
Yes Antonio Gates scored 50 more Fantasy points (for standard yahoo style league) than the next closest TE, Tony G. from KC.

Therefor your strategy should look something like this

1rst round draft a badass QB or RB, second Round Grab Gates.

The reason i say this, is because the difference in points between Gates and his nearest TE competition is so vast, that having him on your team will be those consistant extra points that if you keep your matches close, which is often the case in fantasy leagues, those points will always pay off..

Now isn't this going to screw up your chance to draft an awesome reciever like Moss, or Owens or Harrison?

Why yes it is, but WR are a dime a dozen in fantasy, and with many upcomming recievers and sneaker picks in the reciever lines I would not even worry about drafting a reciever till the 5th round.

Most likely great recievers like Hacket, Branch, Stalworth, and a couple rookies if you're the type to like to gamble will be available in those later rounds

And your very last pick should be a kicker, Kicker points are fairly even at the end of the year, its usually just a matter of what defense your kicker is up against that determines if he's going to a couple FGs that game or not, But most kickers can make the 35 yard FG attempt, so kicker quality is nothing to be worried about... However if you want to make a slightly more educated pick, grap a team that can move the ball forward but havge trouble getting into the end zone, (BALTIMORE and Stover) or Teams with great defense but lousy offense, they can get field position.

Which brings me to my Defensive Sneaker Pick (GB - Look at how well they did the end of last season, the struggles on offensive side for the last few years has made this defense mature quickly, defenitly worth a gamble) I still chose baltimore personally they're getting old (mcallister and lewis) but they've got the skillz and the experience,

And for fun, Watch 49ers this year, they may just suprize the hell out of everyone.

Poker content will come soon, when i remember how to play.

Poker Sucks, the PS3 Rocks, and Football is comming

So poker has been cruel to me, it seems as though bad play will no longer be rewarded, which is -ev for me. So i'm passing the time playing with the Play Station 3, a truley incredible machine that does everything except make coffee in the mornings (pending latest update).

So lets look a bit at the Football season.

New England Looks good, they look damn good, we've got the ever accurate tom brady, now with the humbled Randy Moss, if moss can keep from getting hurt, this combo will virtually be unstoppable, Surely defenses will start to double team moss, which will only open up the the TE and the slot and WR2 Dante Stallworth, another excellent and underated Receiver. A healthy team combined with one of the best coaching staffs in the league, makes this my Pick for the AFC.

Why not the chargers many ask? Coaching staff. This was a team built for Marty S. and no one coaches like Marty, (in the play offs no one wants to coach like marty) look for this team to come on strong late in the year after making the appropriate adjustments, but will most likely be a little late for any real shot at the Bowl.

Lets check some fantasy sneaker picks here.

Seahawks - DJ Hackett Reciever. DJ hackett is showing amazing promise, and is a favorite target of QB hasselbeck, I definatly see him getting a very fair share of passes thrown in his direction, especially with the trade of WR Jackson to the 49rs and the seahawks adjusting to a new recieiving core. Dj Hackett will be a solid 2nd WR that you won't even have to draft until the 8th round or so.

Thats all the Time i have for today,
