12-Team Expert Mock Draft
BeastOrBust was asked to participate in a 12-Team Experts Mock Draft hosted by Steven Lourie of the Football Fan Spot. This is a 12-Team, 16 Round Mock Draft under the following assumptions: Standard Scoring, Non-PPR and 6 Points for a TD. A nice feature of this mock was for each participant to provide a comment on their draft strategy with each pick. Please keep in mind loyal Dynasty Readers that this mock is Redraft based, and although varies from our typical Dynasty content, is an excellent tool for gauging the perceived current player value for 2010 pre-season trade negotiations etc. Feel Free to drop us a note to let us know how we did. Enjoy.

Nature of the Beast: Week 11 Review
Week 11 was a big week for receivers, with 14 different players posting 100+ yard games. This number could increase when the Titans and Texans matchup up tonight on MNF.

Bruce Gradkowski had a better game in Week 11 than any other previous 2009 start of Jamarcus Russell. Oh yeah, Ricky Williams was the top RB performer. As always, Fantasy Football surprises us every week.
