Dynasty Impact: 2011 RB Free Agency
We waited three months for football activity and it came back with a vengeance last week! There have been rumors about rumors, free agency signings and big trades, all with huge fantasy and more importantly Dynasty impact. In this article, we are going to take a look at all of the movement at the Running backs, which is moving even further from the bell cow landscape that it once was. Nearly every single NFL team is looking at some kind of timeshare with at least 2 and in numerous cases 3 skilled backs fighting for touches. Be sure to check back early and often this offseason as we continue to roll out new Dynasty material, including one of our biggest articles of the year...the 2011 Season Preview.

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.  We learned that Brett Favre will continue to teach us that he is superhuman.  Who would have thought this weeks two highest QB totals would come from a matchup between the Lions and the Browns?  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.

Nature of the Beast - Week 6 Review
Nature of the Beast - Week 6 Review

Some odd games in Week 6.  Tom Brady throws 5 Touchdowns in the 2nd quarter of a 59-0 routing of the Titans. He likely won your fantasy matchup this week despite how your other players fared.  Drew Brees throws 5 Touchdowns against a Giants defense that never showed up in New Orleans.  He likely won your game for you also.  The Raiders beat an emerging Eagles squad.  MJD called out the Jags coaching staff and got the bulk of the carries en route to a 3 Touchdown performance.  Read on to get our thoughts on some of the other important Week 6 action.

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.

Before you set your starting lineup for the weekend, get the lowdown on who has a juicy matchup and who you should think about benching in deeper leagues.
