The rules once again.

To remind everyone, here are the rules and scoring.

It's very simple. Each week, each participant will choose 1-QB, 1-RB, and 1-WR they believe will score the best under a scoring system posted below.

Participants will only be allowed to use 1 player from the same team each week. Also, you will not be able to use the same player on consecutive weeks.

Picks will be sent to me prior 2 hrs prior to the kickoff of the weeks first game. I will post my picks on the Twitter board using the same timeline.

There will be a plaque awarded to the winner.

The scoring system is as follows:

Quarterback (QB), Running Back (RB), Wide Receiver (WR)
6 pts per rushing or receiving TD
4 pts per passing TD
1 pt per reception
1 pt per 10 yards rushing or receiving
1 pt per 25 yards passing

Penalty Points

Fantasy Football 101 News & Notes and QB Rankings/Projections.

As promised to the FF101 listeners during my last pressbox appearance, I will begin to regularly blog news, notes, rankings, and projections leading up to our 2-hour draft show special on August 13th.

Nothing new to report on the ongoing Burress, Marshall, Vick business. It sounds like NFL commish Roger Goodell intends to play hardball with Plax. Rumours abound that Goodell may suspend Burress for the season.

The Denver Broncos re-iterate that they are not going to trade disgruntled WR, Brandon Marshall. No matter how much he whines and complains. We'll see if the team changes its tune as the opening of camp draws nearer.

It appears more and more likely that former Atlanta Falcon QB Michael Vick may have to spend a year in the newly formed UFL league. It just doesn't look as though any NFL team has the courage to sign Vick...this season anyway.

By the way, don't be surprised if Chicago locks up QB Jay Cutler for a long term deal. The Bears are about $18 million under the cap space and may decide this might be the smartest way to spend most of it.

31 Luke McCown TB 11td 9int 1915yds
32 Sage Rosenfels MIN 10td 9int 1980yds

Starting with Bulger, things get real murky. Bulger has had to run for his life over the last couple of years due to a poor offensive line. He has a serious case of happy-feet. Stafford may not start the season in favor of D. Culpepper. Same can be said about Sanchez, Clemens might get a start or two for the Jets. Leftwich might start in place of McCown. And Rosenfels, he has T. Jackson and some guy named Fave that may gum up the works.

Openings still remain for the FF101 Pick-3 Challenge. Scroll down to an earlier post for more information and the scoring system.
