Let's take a look at the movement in our rankings as we get ready for the offseason.

Beast vs. Bust: Gronk vs. Jimmy
The classic NFL tight end has always been a hybrid position, combining the pass catching skills of a wide receiver and the blocking of a lineman. As the NFL evolves into more of a passing game by the season, tight ends have also taken on increasing roles in the passing game. It has gotten more athletic with the likes of Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates showing true go-to ability in the passing game. And the position is still growing today with an influx of a new crop of potential Beasts, led by two of the most dangerous weapons in all of the NFL. One is a combination of brute strength and skills, the other elite athleticism and size. Let's take a look at the head to head matchup between Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham.

Early Season Reactions: Week 1
Week 1 has come and gone, leaving a tremendous amount of fantasy overreaction in it's dust. Is Cam Newton now a Top 5 QB?

Let's take a look at some quick hits from the week that was.

Fantasy Value: Over/Under
A player's fantasy value can change in an instant. Two years ago, undrafted rookie Arian Foster was only relevant in Dynasty leagues, and even there he was more of a flier because of his solid collegiate resume at Tennessee.

In this article, we'll take a look at what you can expect from a number of over and undervalued fantasy players this season and in the future.

The Tight End position is becoming popular again in the NFL...and on Fantasy rosters. Teams are spreading the ball out more and we are seeing an emergence of TE's producing WR1-2 type numbers.

Coming into the league, Darren McFadden and LeSean McCoy were both seen as explosive running backs that could deal with injuries at the next level. McFadden was drafted 4th overall in 2008 and was the more heralded prospect, but he has only started to emerge this season because of injuries. Right now, he is leading all RB's in yards per game and if it was not for missing two games due to injury, Run DMC might be the Number One scoring back in fantasy leagues. McCoy was drafted in the 2nd round and hit the ground running and receiving as a pro. He followed quickly in the footsteps of Brian Westbrook and has developed into an RB1 in just his second season. In a Dynasty league, who do you want on your roster...Shady or Run DMC?

MJD vs. CJ2K vs. ADP: Who is Number One?
With the year that Chris Johnson put up, many casual fantasy leaguers feel that he is the no brainer for the number 1 overall pick in re-draft and also Dynasty leagues. Certainly, no one would question the selection, but Adrian Peterson and Maurice Jones-Drew make a strong case for that pick as well. The Dynasty Value of our Top-3 Ranked Players are very, very close. Despite the fact the league has become a "passing league" and the shift of value toward Wide Receivers has grown immensely in the last few seasons, it is still the land of the Running Back when you look at the tip of the Rankings iceberg.

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.

Dynasty Hype
Everywhere you look there is fantasy football information...on the interweb, on the radio, on TV...it's literally is everywhere you turn. With that comes a certain amount of fantasy hype - "excessive publicity and the ensuing commotion". We all have gotten gassed up at one time or another over something a beat writer or blogger said about one of our players, it's only natural. It's all about the hype. That can be a good or a bad thing when it comes to your Dynasty team, though, you just have to know how to sift through the information and look at the situation with a long term view in mind.
In each Dynasty Hype article, we'll take a look at a handful of players that are receiving either extreme positive or negative hype and look at it from a Dynasty point of view. It is important in a Dynasty league to always be thinking of players value and situation, because they fluctuate constantly.

2010 NFL Rookie Tight End Profiles
The NFL Tight End is evolving. As teams spread the ball out, a TE who can serve as a legitimate receiving option is very important. Most of the highest rated prospects will fall in the 6'5 - 250 lb range with superior athleticism. Traditional blocking ability is less of a barometer for a players future success (especially in the fantasy world), however it can be a decent indicator of how quickly they can make the transition and thus see game action. Like the WR position, there is usually a year or two before TE's can be productive. The 2010 Draft class has three prospects capable of developing into Top 5 options and a handful more that could be starters in deep fantasy leagues. When all is said and done, this could be a very productive fantasy TE class.

2010 Rookie Quarterback Player Profiles
There are upwards of 10 NFL teams seeking out their future franchise QB. Many Dynasty league owners are doing the same. If you own an older Beast like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, you can afford to draft a youngster and sit him for a few seasons as he learns the ropes. The instant returns of Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Matt Stafford and to some extent Mark Sanchez has owners anxious for a young Dynasty cornerstone to call their own. This draft class, though quickly dismissed as pedestrian, is not without its long term potential. The patience of Dynasty owners is going to be tested because most of these QB's are not ready for NFL game action in 2010.

2010 NFL Rookie Running Back Profiles
The running back is a former cornerstone to any championship Dynasty football team. In the current version of the NFL, though, each team seemingly needs at least 2, if not 3 productive RB's on their roster. Gone are the days of every NFL team feeding one RB the ball 25 times a game every game. RB's are now asked to be productive while only touching the ball 10-15 times a game. The 2010 Draft Class is not filled with many RB's that will blow you away with their franchise player ability. Instead, though, you'll find numerous prospects that could very well be fantasy factors as part of commitees and time shares. Let's take a look at some of the top Dynasty prospects at the RB position.

Nature of the Beast - Week 2 Review
So we are through Week 2 of the fantasy season and many of us can take a sigh of relief that our 2009 fantasy team is not as bad as we originally thought. Many of the studs returned to true form, and many of the duds are back to performing as we expected. What is going on with Matt Forte? Is the Packers O-Line in trouble?

Week 2: In or Out
Who's in? Bills QB Trent Edwards. He will be looking to get the Bills offense going and the no huddle could create problems for Tampa Bay's defense. His play should make T.O., Lee Evans and Fred Jackson solid starts against the Bucs on Sunday.

Week 1: In or Out
No one needs to tell you to start Larry Fitzgerald or Aaron Rodgers every week. It's a rule you learn as you play fantasy football, you don't bench your beasts. Doesn't matter what the matchup is, you play them. Sure, you'll get burnt occassionally, but the true beasts are going to lead you to the promise land more often than not. But you might be tettering on a 2nd QB or a flex player or between two RB's for one spot. Each week, we'll take a look at some of the players that you might be thinking about starting or sitting in deeper leagues.

Observations from Giants Camp 2009
Giants Training Camp opened this week in Albany New York. I had an opportunity to watch the morning and afternoon sessions live from the University of Albany campus.

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?

DeAngelo Williams / Jonathan Stewart
The most talented backfield duo in football resides in Carolina. After being drafted 13th overall in the 2008 Draft, many were predicting big things for Jonathan Stewart. But it was the incumbent RB, DeAngelo Williams, who burst onto the fantasy scene last season with a breakout performance. Stewart made the most out of his carries as well and scored 10 TD's. So, which Panthers RB do you want to own in a dynasty league?

Marion Barber
Entering the league as a punishing running back from the University of Minnesota, Barber was a popular fantasy sleeper as a rookie in 2005. In 2006, he carved out a name for himself by scoring 16 total TD's and he continued to cement his status in 2007 with more of the same. Barber was getting a limited number of touches, but he was making them count. So it was understandable that expectations were high for Marion "the Barbarian" Barber entering the 2008 season. Julius Jones was in Seattle and the Cowboys were prepared to give Barber the lion's share of touches for the first time in his career. Fantasy superstardom was in his sights, but the season did not go exactly according to fantasy owners and the Cowboys plans. As we look at the 2009 season and beyond, Marion Barber's fantasy value is changing again...

Jason Campbell
As a 2005 first round draft pick out of Auburn, Jason Campbell was expected to be the face of the Redskins franchise by now. But three unspectacular seasons later, Washington seems ready to part ways with him. As a dynasty owner, should you do the same? Or is now the time to buy low on Jason Campbell and hope he can still put it all together?

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.

2009 Rookie Quarterback Profiles
"Would have benefitted from another year in college" That will be a common theme as draft day approaches. The "big" three - Matt Stafford, Mark Sanchez and Josh Freeman highlight a pretty weak QB class in this year's NFL Draft. But young studly quarterbacks are like gold in dynasty leauges, so you'll want to know who is going to provide the most fantasy upside in the long term.

2009 Rookie Tight End Profiles
The Tight End is not a glorious position in fantasy football. Elite pass catching TE's are rare, and the rest of the group provide relatively the same average value. The college spread offense is producing more and more pass catching TE's who are unpolished run blockers. Unless these pass catchers are a special talent, they have trouble finding the field. Find the player that blends above average pass catching ability and adequate run support and you have found fantasy value.

Ladainian Tomlinson
Entering the 2009 season, LT2 has inevitably reached the age of 30. He has been the most durable, consistent and beastly fantasy Running Backs we have seen in the last decade. He has been used extensively in the Chargers offense (rightly so) to the point where it's hard to imagine this elite talent could continue to endure the pounding of many more season. He is however Ladanian Tomlinson. Should fantasy owner be concerned, or will he continue to produce as the elite he is?

2009 Rookie Running Back Profiles
The short career span of NFL Running Backs puts especially high dynasty demand on each seasons rookie class.

We think that most of the immediate success of this class will be tied to situation.

Terrell Owens
Who would have ever thought Terrell Owens would be rounding out the latter half of his career in Buffalo? Despite that fact he's reaching an age most would be considering retirement from the NFL, TO remains a dangerous threat in the passing game. With a decent supporting cast in Buffalo there is a lot of potential for Owens to post characteristic numbers in 2009, although the potential exists for Owens to hate the city of Buffalo and the QB throwing him the football. TO is a WR freak of nature, and also extremely frustrating to own on a fantasy roster. What do you think about his Dynasty value? Beast or Bust?
