Texans and Fantasy Football: Tight End Edition
Owen Daniels is one of the most underrated Tight Ends in the NFL. With 97 career receptions, the kid's averaged a little more than a first down everytime he touches the ball (11.5 yds. per reception).

Breaking Down AFC South Offenses, Rotisserie Style.
Last semester my cultural anthropolgy class paved the way to two stunning discoveries. First, I learned that ESPN mobile is a pretty good tool to get you through a 3 hour documentary on the Raramuri Tribe. Secondly -- in the event that your cell phone dies during said documentary -- I discovered an interesting way to accurately determine NFL division rankings.
