Between the start of training camp and the whole Judas saga, we at OBOD realized we have been neglecting a crucial area of most NFL fans’ existences: fantasy football.
Seriously, how did that happen?
We’re not really sure. Just a total lack of judgement on our part, I guess.
Well, we’re very sorry about that and we’re going to make it up to you, beginning today. Since this time of August is when most fantasy drafts tend to take place – really, holding a draft before this time of the month is ridiculous because it leaves you with way too much time for your players to still get hurt – Adam and I figured we’d weigh in with some of our thoughts on the 2009 fantasy landscape.
We’re not sure if Gene will be following suit, to be honest. That cat is pretty secretive with who he likes and doesn’t. One thing’s for sure: He likes his booze.
Anywho, here are our rankings on the six major categories (QB, RB, WR, TE, DEF/ST, K), listing a No. 1, sleeper and bust for each (yes, even the kickers).
Enjoy.
