Why not, as the Steelers have done a good job of providing Roethlisberger with solid depth at receiver in recent years. While Roethlisberger isn't one of the elite quarterbacks in fantasy football, he's stil ...

It seems like Vernon Davis is falling out of favor as one of the true elite tight ends for fantasy football based on the 49ers struggles from 2010, and the projected issues they might have this season. As a 49er fan, I can tell you that recent years have been hard to watch, but I can promise you that new Head Coach Jim Harbaugh's offensive scheme and play calling will be superior to the garbage this team ha ...

A fine example of the drastic differences between ESPN and Yahoo ADP trends can be found with running back Shonn Greene. On ESPN Greene's ADP stands in at 63.4 but on Yahoo, he's going much higher than that as he's listed at a 29.6 value.

With Chris Johnson's continued holdout for a new contract, I'm sure many of you are concerned about his prospects to play most of this season. While Johnson will likely miss time into the season, I still recommend you look to him as one of the top six running backs to own in keeper / dynasty leagues. Sure, in the short run that might mean you have to pick up an extra mid round running back to use in your li ...
