A smorgasbord of fantasy football draft goodness. Random notes, updated PPR (0.50) rankings and draft results after the jump. no comments

Handcuffs are for cops and people who can't get a boner without being dominated.

That's what I like to tell people nowadays. I suppose a woman who wants to steal eight dollars and a Moe Ginsburg suit from you could fit in there too. All joking and Seinfeld references aside, handcuffs still have a place in our silly little game. RBBC situations across the league have really changed the fantasy landscape, making handcuffs more of a luxury than a necessity. Make the jump to see which handcuffs should be owned across all leagues and which should be on your watch list. no comments

The Million Dollar Podcast is back! It's been awhile since I've hosted a show, what better time than now. I plan on doing at least two shows before the season starts. The first will cover "sleepers" and we'll be welcoming the boisterous Brad Evans. The term "sleeper" can mean many different things to many different people. The Noise and I will be professing our love for those who are undervalued, under the radar and under appreciated. Basically anyone who can return a great deal of value at their ADP or average auction price. We'll try to keep the bromances for LeSean McCoy and Arian Foster at tolerable levels. The list of players that I would like to discuss is much too long for a one hour show, so I'm going to omit a few players who were put under the spotlight by BFun and Brad in the following videos:

Michael Bush, Arian Foster

Laurence Maroney, Ben Roethlisberger, Mike Williams, Heath Miller

Montario Hardesty blog post at Roto Arcade

I'll likely make references to Brad's positional ranks which can be found here

The LIVE show is scheduled for Thursday at 7:30 PM central

I've been playing around at ValueTownFantasy lately. Great place to create rankings, whether you want to do it bigboard style or bust out the positional tiers. You can also create multiple lists for your standard formats and PPR settings. It's easy, clean and you can print them out for use during your drafts. You can even name the Tiers, as you can see in the above picture. I've been posting PPR rankings around here lately, so I put together some tiered rankings for standard scoring settings. Check them out and go create your own.

The Sleepers Podcast featuring Brad Evans has been pushed back again. Relax, it's OK. The show has been rescheduled for Thursday and this time it's set in stone. If not, I'll refund your money back, no questions asked.

Wednesday is still podcast day for MDS though. You can get your audio fix by coming over to Starbonell Station for the Wide Receiver Extravaganza Show. The LIVE show starts at 7:00 PM Central and the call-in number is (347) 324-3827. Feel free to pick the brains of the finest fantasy footballers out there. Don't worry, Arthur Starbonelli is cool, he can even tell you how fix your motorcycle and make a jukebox play music without forfeiting any money. Friday we'll be doing the Running Back Edition, I believe that will be at 4:00 PM.

Wednesday WR podcast at Starbonell Station
Thursday Sleeper Podcast with Brad Evans
Friday RB podcast at Starbonell Station

I'm sure we're all familiar with the Sidney Rice story. He hurt his hip in the NFC Championship Game, two out of three doctors recommended surgery, he opted for the rehab route and here we are:

WR Sidney Rice confirmed he had hip surgery in Vail, Colo. on Monday in a text message to the Star-Tribune.

Rice is expected to miss half the season. Hopefully no one has drafted any teams yet, but we all know that is not the case. Even I, the great MDS, participated in one draft in JULY and of course, I drafted Sidney Rice... and Brett Favre. My season is already over!!! Just kidding. The injury news has repercussions for everyone involved so we might as well discuss. Make the jump. no comments

The Sleeper Podcast with Brad Evans has been pushed back to Wednesday, that's not set in stone either. Brad and BFun will be hosting a fantasy football camp in Portland today (note the poser doing the tough guy stance for the pic). A fantasy football camp hosted by those two and sponsored by a beer company sounds like fun. After the jump you can find updated rankings, draft results/notes from an 18 team auction draft that went down last night. no comments

The sidebar QB poll is officially closed. I'm somewhat surprised to see Tony Romo (73%) smash Tom Brady (20%) and Matt Schaub (7%). I voted for Romo, but thought Tom Brady would have won. I recently moved Tom ahead of Schaub in my QB ranks after seeing the Brady Bunch in action. That receiving corps in New England looks deadly. Randy Moss is motivated, Welker is Wolverine's brother from another mother, Edelman looks great, Brandon Tate is a deep league sleeper, Taylor Price isn't bad, Aaron Hernandez is impressing people and they took another TE (Rob Gronkowski) ahead of him in the draft this year. I need to stop this Tom Brady propaganda before I adjust my rankings again.

New poll for the TE position: Vernon Davis, Jermichael Finley and Jason Witten are separated by only six picks according to MockDraftCentral. Who should be taken first from this group?
