I recently did a draft with RotoWire folks. It’s a deep, 14-team, IDP league. Losers buy dinner plus drinks at an expensive steakhouse at season’s end. Last year I was runner-up, but I may have went a little too upside heavy this year, especially considering the format. Here are the results.

Check out the first edition of this year’s risers and fallers.

By Dalton Del Don There’s a consensus top-5 that’s already been formed this year, with only the exact order up for debate. Personally, I’d actually welcome the sixth or seventh pick, as I don’t see as big of a drop off from the big five to Marion Barber and Frank Gore as most. It doesn’t…

By Dalton Del Don Taking a small break from baseball, I thought now is as good of time as any to compile some (very) preliminary fantasy football rankings. Plenty will change between now and late August, but really, is it ever too early to discuss some football? And before we get started, let me take…

Talking some football.

Braylon Edwards or Reggie Wayne or Terrell Owens?

I’ve been extremely busy writing the running back profiles for RotoWire’s Fantasy Football magazine, so you’ll have to excuse my lack of posts. You can thank me later when I help you win your football league, however. Anyway, I thought we’d return to some “Take Your Picks,” a previous favorite. Only this time, it’s football,…

Check out this dominant squad I assembled.

By Dalton Del Don I’m fully aware this is an exercise in futility, but I just can’t help myself. The following is what I predict will happen not what should happen during the NFL Draft this weekend. And I’m only going top-15, which is a crapshoot enough as is. 1. Miami Dolphins: Jake Long –…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer I’ll be the first to admit I was wrong. I expected New England to win handily. However, with that said, the outcome did not come as a shock, as this Patriots team just hasn’t looked the same recently. I won’t call it the biggest upset in the history…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer New York Giants (+12) vs. New England Patriots Comments: The Giants have won 10 straight road games, including three highly impressive victories in the postseason. New York played New England very tough just five weeks ago, but like every other opponent the Patriots have faced this season, ultimately…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Philip Rivers’ performance obviously needs to be taken in context, as the numbers reveal a poor outing. Playing without LaDainian Tomlinson and a clearly hobbled Antonio Gates, Rivers made plenty of impressive throws with a completely torn ACL. He deserves a bunch of credit…No one really should have…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer San Diego (+14) at New England Comments: The Chargers should be applauded for their gutsy effort last week, but that result ended hopes for football fans wanting a close AFC Championship game. A healthy San Diego team would be unlikely to hang around in New England, let alone…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Imagine if Seattle hadn’t been gifted a 14-0 lead…Atari Bigby had to have one of the bigger “where did that come from?” games of the season Saturday…Ironic how Charles Woodson went from being typically overrated in Oakland to being one of the best football players this season, yet…
