This season my first round draft pick was Kurt Warner. Go ahead, laugh, make fun, tell me I'm an ####. After Kurt I selected Pittsburgh, Jeremy Shockey, Neil Rackers, Dallas, Peyton Manning. The secret to fantasy football is to not follow everyone else and pick one of the top rated rb's with your first couple picks. You need to have the best player at as many positions as possible. Shockey and Rackers, Manning, and Pittsburgh are argueably the best at their respected postions. This gives me a huge advantage every week. I can almost guarantee that my kicker, qb, te, and defense will outpoint my opponent.

Now I know that you are asking "who do you have as your rb's?" Since I did'nt pick a rb until the 6th round I had to pick diamonds in the rough. Kevan Barlow, Mike Anderson, and Cederic Benson are my backs. They may not put up LT are Shaun Alexander numbers, but I am confident that they will keep up with the field close enough that when it comes down to the other positions I will have the opponent smoked.

Fantasy football has been turned into who has the big name running back. Unless you have both Shaun Alexander and LT on your squad do not plan on your rb positon carrying your team. You need to go after the kickers and tes, positions that give you a unique advantage on the field. The fact that I have three excellent QB's (Manning, Warner, and Bledsoe) gives me tremendous leverage in my league because I can trade anyone of those QB's for a great WR or RB.

This season follow these tips and tell me if they help.

1. Draft a kicker, te, and defense/st with your 2,3, and 4 picks

2. Use your first pick to grab the player you think will have the best season regardless of their position, bc in the end you want the best player in as many positions as possible, not just the rb that will score 30 td's.

3. Get as many quality QB's as possible to use as trade bait in the upcoming season.
