2010 has blessed Major League Baseball with a memorable rookie class. Fantasy owners in Dynasty and Keeper leagues were quite familiar with this cast of characters long before they arrived in the show. In commemoration of their foresight, let’s take a gander at the top ten positional keepers for 2011.

PPR leagues (point-per-reception) are similar to fantasy baseball leagues with extra categories like on-base percentage or strikeouts per-nine innings because a few people in the league will always place too much weight on the extra category.

Every season, we under or overvalue players in the offseason; it’s the nature of the beast. Whether it is personnel changes around them, scheme changes, or injury concerns… something jumps out and makes us either love or hate a player before the season even begins. Last week, we looked at

For the first time in what seems like an eternity, the New York Jets are a contender to win their first Superbowl. Last year, they were one half away from going to the big show. They have one of the strongest offensive lines in the league, added a Superbowl MVP

If you’re drafting in the late first or second round of your fantasy draft, don’t worry about your Quarterback (QB) situation. Most likely three to four QB’s will have been taken already. I’m talking about Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning and/or Tom Brady. That may be your blessing in disguise because Tony Romo and Philip Rivers will be
