Shortly after I pressed "publish" on my post here yesterday, I got the dreaded call from daycare informing me that my son was running a fever and could I come get him. Again? Seriously, this baby is sick again? Last night I became convinced that I spawned some crazy version of a human that can't live for more than 2 weeks without acquiring some sort of unseemly germ or un-daycare worthy fever...and then this morning (seemingly refreshed despite the wakeups that our son peppered into the night hours), I remembered that this is probably just the status of all babies. They have tiny little hands and goobery little mouths and both are all over the place, so it's a wonder that our son is ever healthy at all. And frankly, the little dude seems just fine other than his head warmth, plus now that we live near in-laws, we've got some help here today letting me get some real library work and not-so-real FFL work done...so I really can't complain. But if we've got a sick baby again in 2 weeks I'll be one grumpy parent.
In the meantime, FF experts all over the place have been getting their start/sit columns up. But before we get to that, I'd like to remind you to head over to FantasyPros.com and enter your best guess at their challenging Week 2 start/sit questions. All hands on deck here please - it will take just a few minutes and I'm eager to show off how awesome you guys are. In fact, I heard from two of you that were absolutely brilliant and only missed 1 of the 10 questions last week. Any FFL readers find out that they were one of the 8 (of 4000+) who got them all right? You can find out how well you fared here. And if pride isn't enough of a motivator, the top 50 folks will get prizes.
Moving on to our massive amount of links today...it's go time:

Anyway, I love your one-stop shopping for fantasy football links. I've got a fantasy football blog, too, if you're interested in helping me out with a few poll votes. Thanks, and best of luck.

Thanks for the link to Fake Teams.
Also, what is your advice on Peyton Manning. I drafted him in the 2nd round when it looked like he was healing nicely from that neck surgery and then everything went horribly wrong. I have Mark Sanchez and Cam Newton for QB, but should I hold on to Manning until he returns?
Glenn - I think you're probably safe to drop Peyton Manning at this point. It pains me to say it but I find it unlikely that the Colts will rush him back particularly if they keep playing at this low level. As for TE, Davis has a pretty sweet matchup this week and I think he's your best bet of that crew. Good luck!
We disagree on all points, i guess.
OK, off to look at all the links as I feverishly put together my lineups.
