So far rookies are making quite an impact in fantasy leagues. If you own players like Chris Johnson, DeSean Jackson, and Eddie Royal you know what I am talking about. There is no doubt that competition for Rookie of the Year in 2008 is about as stiff as any in my lifetime.
This week, look for a few other rookies to make a case for the coveted title and help your fantasy squad in the process
Hope you are ready to shuffle your line-up this week because the bye weeks are officially here. It is possible that you might be without full time starters like Peyton Manning, Calvin Johnson or Joseph Addai entering week four's action. That's not usually a good thing but lets see if we can help you minimize the blow.
Here are a few players you can stick in the line-up and not miss a beat along with a few you will be better off avoiding.
Chris Perry RB (CIN) - Believe it
What a wild and crazy week of games. There were eight quarterbacks throwing for over 300 yards last weekend and Monday nights score fest provided a ton of drama in leagues everywhere. Hopefully you were the benefactor of all of the scoring.
Looking ahead to this weekend, there are a few more potential score fests and my first pick should be in line for another high scoring fantasy performance.
Are you ready for some fantasy football? Me too. Week one is finally here and it is time to get you thinking about who should and who shouldn't be in your line up this Sunday.
Let's get it rolling with this weeks picks.
Jon Kitna QB (DET) - The pass happy Mike Martz is now looking to maim quarterbacks in San Francisco and a commitment to the running game is on the docket for the Motor City Kitties, but, that doesn't mean that ole' Jon can't git r' done.
He still has the presence of both Calvin

One of the things I have enjoyed the most - as I have been going division to division offering up my early bird analysis - is reading your comments and hearing your assessment of the teams and divisions. You are educating me and helping me stay sharp. Just wanted to thank you for that.
For today's post I am going to take on the the division that is near and dear to my heart, the NFC North. Why is it near and dear you ask? Well my beloved Vikings are a part of this division.
I am going to look at this as objectively as possible BUT as you can imagine, it is almost impossible

So far on my predictive trip through the league, picking the Browns over the Steelers in the AFC North has sparked the most debate - and some pretty heated trash talk ta boot. But, I have a feeling this post will have no problem topping that.
This week I take on the ultra competitive NFC east. I have a feeling that all you fans of the teams in this division are a pretty passionate bunch so

With the AFC East taken care of, it is time to move on to the AFC North. I was a little surprised there weren’t any Jets fans giving me hell for picking the Bills ahead of them. But, perhaps its early or, perhaps they know I’m right.
This week I suspect I will get a little flack from a very loyal, alway proud fan base. Why you say! Just look at who I’ve crowned the AFC North champs.

1) Cleveland Browns
