| Hey! You read the intro and decided to stay a | | | | the muck. It's like trying to catch that last Lucky |
| while! Thanks. For starters, no single IDP (Individual | | | | Charm marshmallow while dodging through the |
| Defensive Player) is going to out produce any of | | | | toasted oat pieces. Put aside the hernia surgery in |
| your offensive starters. Well, Patrick Willis will | | | | January and forget about the possible substance |
| garner more fantasy points than Michael Vick this | | | | abuse suspension. It's a possible suspension of the |
| year. But there's absolutely no reason to draft Ed | | | | 4-game variety which makes Smith practically |
| Reed before Darren "Run DMC" McFadden (Unless, | | | | undraftable on draft day but definitely worth a |
| you're drafting in a blindfold and making your picks | | | | click on the ol' "watch list". Now that we've fished |

| 1. Chris Long. Long's best fantasy attributes can | | | | with an injury and teams were able to put all of |

| Howie Long's Offspring | | | | year where Smith is always good for 60+ tackles |
| 4 sacks in the first seven | | | | and 8-10 sacks. Smith is really my super sleeping |
| New Blitz-Happy Coach | | | | beauty right now but could definitely be a great |
| OR | | | | option as your 2nd DLer. |
| Played all sixteen | | | | As always, good luck out there in the fantasy |
| Spags New York Defensive Team | | | | football world. May your draft go as planned, your |
| Ignore Rookie Wall | | | | team compete and your squad live happily ever |
| 2. Will Smith. To actually see The Fresh Prince of | | | | after. |
