Feel free to finally schedule that draft or auction because the Holy Grail of cheat sheets is finally here. No defenses, no kickers... just pure ass-kicking mayhem of the top 250 QBs, RBs, WRs, and TEs.

Because of the lack of true every-down backs in the NFL, fantasy owners have shied away from the old method of drafting RBs early and often. However, the reality is, the increased platooning of RBs league-wide has made good players at the position more valuable than ever. The few three-down backs are treasured items as there are only so many of them, making it well worth it to take the plunge in the first few rounds. At the same time, the running back position is physically demanding, putting RBs at a higher risk of injury as they serve as human pinballs bouncing around giant bodies.

The bottom line is this: while taking a top-tier WR or QB early is the safe choice, landing reliable RBs is invaluable. Go ahead and look at the league champions of the past couple of years. Chances are, they all had very good RB play (even if their QB was Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees). Maybe some of those champs were able to pick up a back late in the year and ride that to a title, but the point is that you don’t get very far without good RB play.

Admittedly, the RB position is the hardest to predict thanks to the risk of injuries and loss of playing time. Knowing which RBs are worth taking a chance on? Well, that’s what I’m here for. We’ve got 80 backs ranked and tiered for your info-tainment. Enjoy.

With the league settling into a pass-heavy era, WR production has never been better. Remember the days when rookies at the position had to wait at least two years before being considered fantasy relevant? Well those days are like Starbonell the morning after he shacks up with a female: gone.

Because breakout WRs are sprouting up left and right, the position has become flooded with starter-worthy options. Yet dumbass owners are still loading up on receivers early like it’s 2009. Fortunately, you aren’t a shit-for-brains fantasy owner since you are visiting this great site. To reward your intelligence, here’s a list of the top 94 WRs, broken into nifty little tiers. You’re welcome.

In my last article we reviewed my expectations and predictions concerning over/under wins for some NFL teams. Here, I wanted to pick some individual season-long player matchups that you can make some coin on. So if you’re into protection, find some contraceptive because my words are about to make sex to your brain.

In 2011, somewhere between 800 and a 100 billion dollars was gambled on the NFL. I don’t know what this tells you, but it tells me that the people in our great nation like having a little action on their football. And guess what? So, does this guy.

Last year my wife took half. This left me owning two things. My dog and my bookie. Messy divorce aside, in 2011, I hauled in five thousand dollars gambling on the NFL and I wasn’t working with a power broker’s bankroll. I say this not to brag, but merely to establish some credibility with the loyal contingency we have here at Sons of Roto. While I excel at picking spreads from week to week, I also fare well with prop bets and season bets. But enough with the semantics. Let’s make money on Vegas’ over/under total wins for some NFL teams.

In life, I abide by three simple rules:

1. When in doubt, eat it out
2.  Never place all your eggs in one basket
3. Snake Drafts are quicker, but Auctions are sicker!

When it comes to Fantasy Football, auctions are by far the most exciting way to draft your team. It is a much more dynamic experience. One where YOU have control over your team and not the randomly selected draft order. It is also a much fairer process, as it allows every owner every opportunity to grab every player. It's your prerogative how you decide to go about formulating the "dream team." Over the years, I have become accustomed to schooling those less fortunate in the art of auction sharkdom. I rarely come out of an auction draft feeling uneasy about my team (can't say the same about snake drafts though). Luckily for you, I have decided to not be a hoarder and share with you my secrets to auction draft success. Pay attention, it's about to get real.
