The trend in the NFL that is proving to be a very logical one is that teams are moving to a two running back backfield, giving them more flexibility and a higher likelihood that their skill players will remain healthy. It is a sound strategy – but one that really hurts fantasy owners.

An interesting trend in fantasy football is that in this day and age of information – columns like this one, twitter, website updates, etc – way too many people rely on fantasy magazines come draft day. As someone who writes for such magazines, I am certainly not going to say that they do not have value. Of course they do – they are the backbone of your draft day preparation. However, you cannot simply work off the list in your favorite draft magazine and take it as gospel.

The big debate when it comes to wide receivers is where exactly do you take them? Many believe that if you are sitting in the pick six to eight range that you should target Houston's Andre Johnson. Others believe that if you pick a wide receiver before pick ten then you are destined for failure. I do not share that viewpoint. In my mind, with so many running back by committee situations in the NFL, I feel that a stud number one wide receiver is far better than the seventh or eighth ranked running back.
