Tim from Battle Red Blog:

I know, I know...who do the Texans have that could possibly be worth a damn for fantasy purposes? Two words, my friends: Ahman. Green.

I jest. I wouldn't draft Ahman Green if my life depended on it. And neither should you. He probably just broke a nail while reading this; that'll keep him out ten (10) weeks, easy. But down to business. The best fantasy option on Houston's roster is:

Many people will tell you that the Atlanta Falcons will be the worst team in the league this year. They may even tell you to avoid drafting everyone besides Matt Ryan and maybe Michael Turner. But they lie.

Why, there's actually...um...at least two decent fantasy players on the team this year! And I'll prove it by totally coming up with some right now. You'll see!

The Sports Guru of Mile High Report brings his fantasy tips for the Denver Broncos:

It's been years since the Denver Broncos have been a "friend of fantasy".  Since the days of Terrell Davis, Mike Shanahan has annoyed fantasy owners with his revolving door of running backs.  Every year, friends of mine that play fantasy football ask me who the running back in Denver will be.  Everyone knows there is gonna be a Bronco that rushes for 1200 yards and is the reason a team wins a FFL title and they all want him. 

 That changed a bit last year with the complete failure that was Travis Henry.  No Bronco running back eclipsed the 1000 yard mark and fantasy owners were left scratching their heads.  Was this the beginning of the end for the Broncos as a relevant fantasy option?  Not so fast!

2008 provides fantasy owners several big-time fantasy options to not only fill their rosters, but their starting lineups every week.  Here are a couple "locks", as well as a guy you should keep your eyes on in the later rounds.  You won't be disappointed.

The Kansas City Chiefs will again have a killer fantasy season with Trent Green, Priest Holmes and Dante Hall all putting up big numbers yet again.

Wait a second. What year is this? 2008? Wow, for some reason when I thought of the Kansas City Chiefs and fantasy football my mind only remembers through the 2003 season. Oh well. I'll do my best to update you on this year's squad.

John Morgan of Field Gulls offers some fantasy tips on the Seattle Seahawks.

I don't even know what sleeper means anymore. The guy autodraft ignores? Or the one where your buddy, wonderin' where Shaun Alexander went, never heard of? And is the best fantasy option the one who will score the most points or the one who is more valuable than their projected draft slot? Anyway, I'm tired and curmudgeonly. Don't mind me. How about then we look at Seattle's best and best sleeper with an eye to value over projected round. I can do that.

The first of several important fantasy football drafts was held on Monday night. I held the 8th pick and chose Marion Barber III.   Initially, I had thought Frank Gore may be available as a result of QB Tom Brady and WR Randy Moss being selected ahead of me.  It was moot as Moss fell to 11 and Frank Gore went 7th.

With my second pick, I opted for the 100 reception/10 TD receiver Larr Fitzgerald over a second RB like Maurice Jones-Drew of Jacksonville, Michael Turner in Atlanta or Brandon Jacobs with the New York Giants.  The decision meant I would take the best available RB when the draft came back 15 picks later.

I took Tampa Bay Buccanneer Earnest Graham, and I am glad I did.  When the draft came back to me 9 picks later, the only starting RBs left were Kevin Smith of Detroit and the Miami Dolphins tandem of Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams.  None of those options were better than Jets' WR Jerricho Cotchery or Lions' WR Calvin Johnson.

Cotchery was the selection because I consider him a safer bet for 80+ receptions, and I expect QB Brett Favre to make Cotchery the WR fantasy players hoped he would be after topping Torry Holt's receviing records at North Carolina State.

After selecting TE Antonio Gates with my 5th pick, I began to build my bench, and you can see how well I did.  My roster is presented as it currently stands for Week One as opposed to listing the players by round selected.  Hopefully, this provides a slightly more informative view.
