So last night I babysat for 5-month-old twins; it's possible they had made a deal with the devil. As soon as one baby stopped crying, the other would start up and so forth for most of the night. As a currently childless person who has babysat only for single babies, I certainly developed a whole new respect for parents with twins, triplets or beyond. And of course for single parents. I mean honestly, last night my husband was with me so we at least had man-on-man coverage of the twins. So any non-man-on-man situation really has my admiration. Man-on-man you say? That leads nicely (eh, okay maybe not nicely, but I am still recovering from a night of twinness) to football talk...
- FF Geek Blog eschews the popular pick of AP at #2 in Why Joseph Addai, not Adrian Peterson, should be #2 on your cheat sheet.
- And for more Vikings talk for my midwestern friends, check out Sports Data Hub's article Player to Watch - Tarvaris Jackson. I have to admit, I have a small fantasy crush on Tarvaris; it's possible that I could be found drafting him as my backup in way too many leagues this year.

First, have you seen the defenses he plays in the first three games? Plus, he get the Jags on the road. All this on top of having to play Chicago and Greenbay twice.
Second, AP breaks off a lot of good sized runs. This means he is going to take away third down attempts from Jackson.
Third, Good God - his best receiver is Berrian. Berrian is at best a #3 receiver.
Fourth, he is a bad decision maker.
My thought on the reach QB: take the one with the easiest schedule.

Here are two topics I find not talked about enough in the ff offseason:
1. Why are more leagues not converting to PPR? A PPR league not only creates more parity, but also allows for more creativity in draft and line up strategy.
2. Would FF be better if there were established unified rules? or, is league creativity/uniqueness a good thing?
Hy-Five.
