Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of posts this week, I've been tied down working on the fantasy insert that will run in next week's paper. Don't worry, things will definitely pick up beginning soon.

Anyways, a big fantasy football weekend is about to start for yours truly. Saturday afternoon my friends and I will get together for our annual fantasy draft. It's a keeper league where we retain six players (in case you're interested, mine are Tony Romo, Clinton Portis, Ryan Grant, Laurence Maroney, Marques Colston and Calvin Johnson), but the draft is still a big deal, especially when it comes to getting the big-time rookies. Guys like Darren McFadden and Jonathan Stewart are first-round locks in this format. I'm expecting it to be a fun time as usual.

Then on Saturday night I'll be part of a fantasy football panel with fellow PFW members and people from 670 The Score, the radio station that's putting on the event. So if you're going to be in the Chicagoland area and want to get your fantasy questions answered before your draft, please feel free to stop by. You can click here for all the details.

Finally, Sunday we'll be putting the finishing touches on our third and final fantasy insert section, which will be in our next paper. For all of you who've been looking for auction price lists, we'll have that for you, not to mention our recent mock draft and plenty of other good stuff. Look for it next week.
