Using websites such as ESPN, Yahoo Sports, Fox Sports, CBS Sportsline, and NFL.com, gathering at sports restaurants or in living rooms or online, an estimated 30 million people are involved in NFL fantasy leagues, according to the Fantasy Sports Trade Assn. So it is no surprise that there is a boom in online leagues, given the potential revenue. The FSTA estimates fantasy players already spend an average of $154 per season per person just for online football reports. -- LA Times (http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-fantasy-football3-2009sep03,0,5805272.story)

Me too, but I'll never pay a penny just to read another article about why Greg Olsen, Ray Rice, Zach Miller, Pierre Thomas, and Ted Ginn Jr. are sleepers, I don't know why people do that.

You also really don't need someone to tell you Greg Olsen will be better this year.....it's his 3rd year, Cutler is by far better than the trash that had been throwing to him, Cutler loves throwing to the tight end......if you need to pay $100 for someone to put 2 and 2 together, you suck regardless.

Yeah most of the time it just takes a simple knowledge of football and the league to know what players should be picked up. That's why I love the league I'm in. It's full of dumbasses. Ahman Green was picked up in the second to last round and he isn't even on a fucking team.

You're going to read up on it first? It's fantasy football dude. You don't learn by reading, you learn by doing. Just join a couple of free public leagues and figure it out as you go along. It's not rocket science. If my 12 year old nephew can figure it out, you shouldn't have a problem either.

Sounds fancy. Let me read up on it and get back to you.

Plus, I don't want to cheer for teams in the Raiders division or something. That's gay.

Yeah it really is addicting, I'm not in 5 leagues and it really makes the week go by quickly.

Theres tuesday evaluation, wednesday start to set your roster. Thursday waiver wire scour. Friday saturday line up adjustments to injuries or trades or cuts.

Great stuff.

I know what you mean brah I have Brady on my team and I'm probably gonna bench him when he plays the Colts since the that looks a lot like a 11-39 89 yard 1TD/3INT game to me.

Those aren't sleepers ... well, maybe Ted Ginn is, but I don't think he will wake up.

Matt Leinart, he's a sleeper. Same for Chris Henry - 5th year is a charm.
