So you have the first pick in the upcoming fantasy football draft and you're stuck at a few positions. You can take the safe route and select Peyton Manning, Tom Brady or LaDainian Tomlinson.
However, neither of these players has taken a snap all preseason and each are coming off injuries to start the season.
What is a guy or girl, we can't leave out the ladies, to do?

Remember last year when I made fun of the guy who took Matt Leinart in the 4th round of his Fantasy Football draft? And then I mentioned him again here as what NOT to do? This year, he waited until the LAST round to pick Leinart, though he DID wear his official Leinart jersey TO the draft. Way to go, Ryan! You can be taught! I love this picture.

Knowing which players to leave on the draft board is just as important as knowing which to take off it. A high draft pick squandered on a player who fails to live up to expectations is a ticket to the fantasy cellar. Here are a few guys who you might think twice about drafting. STEVEN JACKSON – RB, ST.

The first of several important fantasy football drafts was held on Monday night. I held the 8th pick and chose Marion Barber III. Initially, I had thought Frank Gore may be available as a result of QB Tom Brady and WR Randy Moss being selected ahead of me. It was moot as Moss fell to 11 and Frank Gore went 7th. With my second pick, I opted for the 100 reception/10 TD ...Fantasy Football Sleepers

So I went to my annual office fantasy league draft last night, which always lasts about an hour and a half longer than it should, because everyone 1.) forgets when it’s their turn and 2.) inevitably tries to pick players who are either out for half the season or already off the board.

Fantasy drafts are beautiful because they don’t rely solely on one pick. A successful fantasy football draft is a mosaic of early-round picks that pan out, some middle rounds contributors, and some late round sleepers – along with maybe a prize free agent or waiver wire pick up. That being said, the best way to construct an award winning draft is to break it down round by round. (This ...Under the Lights: Draft Night
