Fantasy Football Tips

[MTK]

I buy one mag, Fantasy Football Index. I read the thing cover to cover and I receive the daily fanball updates to stay on top of injuries, position battles, etc. That's about the extent of my draft prep, I don't really make a list anymore, but in my head I know what I like to do and I pretty much go from the gut. That can be good and bad.

These are the pillars of my draft theory:

Pillar 1: Draft RB's early - no shit!
Pillar 2: I always draft at least one Redskin and never a Cowboy - I don't care if Ladanian gets traded to Dallas and I have the first pick. (by the way, this habit of drafting redskins has hurt me in the past few years).
Pillar 3: Draft a sleeper in Round 5 or 6.
Pillar 4: Pick one rookie - only one!
Pillar 5: Never draft a WR if he's the only draftable WR on his team.
Pillar 6: Never draft a player with a girl's name (exception - Shannon Sharpe).

I'm not sure I understand why on pillars 2-6.

I will only take a Dallas "D", after last year. No other 'roids, and I exclude all druggies like QC & R. Williams.
Why one Rook?
Why not the WR if he is the only draftable WR on his team?
There are a lot of girls names. Sean Salisbury, Shaun King, Ade Jimoh, etc.
HeHateme, Adelwale Ogunleye!

These are all judgement calls that I make - Rules of Engagement. I think it's fun to pick a rookie - but not a good idea to have more than one on your team. If there's not another good WR on the team, your #1 stud will suffer (example: Moulds w/o Price). I would not have recommended Chambers, but now that Booker's in town - he'd be a decent grab. On the girl-name thing, that's just good business - name one super stud who has a chick's name!

Gale Sayers was pretty decent, and thats kinda feminine. Same with Terry, as in Terry Baldshaw.
