While there are a lot of fantasy football players that are hyped up right now early in the 2009 NFL season, some of the players don’t deserve the hype in the fantasy world. Here are a few players you should look to trade as a sell high.
QB Mark Sanchez, New York Jets
Mark Sanchez is getting tons of press and is the darling of New York football at the moment. However, he doesn’t have very much value in fantasy football. Sell him high to get value out of him before the rest of the fantasy world catches on.
RB Willis McGahee, Baltimore …read more

This season, a number of rookie running backs have become fantasy football sleepers. If you can get these players on your fantasy team without using a high draft pick, you could be sitting pretty if sleepers pan out.
Kevin Smith, Detroit Lions
All indications point to Kevin Smith starting for the Lions at running back. Smith doesn’t have much competition — considering that Tatum Bell is his backup. He could be a big factor if he can stay healthy.
Matt Forte, Chicago Bears
Like Smith, Forte is also expected to be the starter. While Forte is arguably the more talented …read more

We’ve already taken a look at a first round fantasy mock draft of a 2008 fantasy football draft. Here is a look at a mock draft of a second round:
1. Terrell Owens, Dallas Cowboys
2. Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts
3. Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts
4. Willis McGahee, Baltimore Ravens
5. Ryan Grant, Green Bay Packers
6. Maurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville Jaguars

Willis McGahee of the Baltimore Ravens will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. While he will likely miss the rest of the preseason, the good news is that he should be available in the first week of the regular season.
While arthroscopic surgeries are considered minor these days, McGahee’s injury past should ring a few alarms. He has had a major knee injury in the past, so any knee trouble is a very bad sign for the Ravens running back. If you are thinking about picking him in a fantasy football draft, you should realize that you …read more

Jonathan Ogden of the Baltimore Ravens is reportedly set to retire. Ogden is battling a toe injury that has been slow to heal. The 33-year-old Ogden, who stands 6-foot-9 and weighs 345 pounds, has spent all 12 of his NFL seasons as an offensive lineman on the Ravens.
If Ogden retires, it will have deep fantasy football ramifications. Even at his age, Ogden was one of the better offensive linemen in the NFL. Without Ogden, the Ravens’ offense would struggle — even more than usual.
While none of the Ravens are rated too highly in fantasy football, it’s …read more
