2010 Trade Deadline: Dynasty Buy / Sell
Whether you are a contender or a rebuilding team in a Dynasty league, you always need to keep next season in mind. Yes, Jonathan Stewart is underwhelming thus far and probably won't re-enter your starting lineup for the rest of the season.

In this article, we are going to take a look at some Dynasty Buys that you should look to acquire at a discounted rate and some Dynasty Sells that you should look to unload immediately for optimum value. Your position in league standings will affect what you are able to buy and sell, but don't forget about the future while you make a run at a 2010 championship.

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.

Anquan Boldin
Anquan Boldin plays with a reckless abandon and fearlessness that makes him one of the best wide receiver talents in the NFL...and also makes him very much prone to injuries. Boldin has been a stud just about every one of his six seasons, just as long as he could keep himself on the field. Boldin will be 29 years old in October and his Dynasty value is on the fence. On one hand, you have a stud WR on a high-powered pass first offense. On the other, you have an injury prone player on a team where he isn't the WR1 and his QB is 38 years old. What is a dynasty owner to do?

2009 Rookie Wide Receiver Profiles

Who will be the first wide receiver taken in the NFL Draft? 6 months ago, we would have laughed at this question. Now, we are not so sure. What we are sure of is that this is a great WR class, perhaps the deepest in years. There are a number of NFL teams in need of WR depth and this draft presents a wide array of talented playmakers. And that is great news for fantasy owners who typically shy away from rookie WR's in dynasty leagues.
