To Be The Best, You’ve Got To Beat The Best Just Stay Healthy.  CBSSports’ fantasy football coverage offers a write-up of Andre Johnson, how ridiculously good he is, and how important it is for him to be 100% healthy this year. My only knock on the article is that it ends with a hint that Johnson is “injury prone.”  (As an aside: I still rank Kubaik’s decision to leave Johnson on the field once the Panthers game was in hand as his worst single decision ever.)

Come Along And Ride On A Fantasy Voyage. Another fantasy sports article regarding your Houston Texans.  A fairly straight-forward and honest write-up, with little in the way of surprise.  In fact, the main reason I am posting it is so I can quote this line: “The only addition the team made to the defensive line was fifth-rounder tackle Frank Okam, who needs to supplant the very injury-prone Travis Johnson as soon as possible.”  Replace “injury-prone” with “retarded” and we are in agreement, anonymous web author.

Ladies Love 37th Ranked DBs. Rounding out our Saturday Kickoff fantasygasm, here’s an article ranking the top 50 fantasy DBs coming into 2008.  Our own Smoove Will is #37 and C.C. Brown in #39.  The fact that these two are ranked and Fred Bennett is not should tell you all you need to know about the translation from real-life football to fantasy football.
