Dear Registered Member:

Did you know that almost 80% of fantasy football fans use the draft as their only source of acquiring/building their fantasy teams? The draft is certainly important, but the quest for winning your league's championship doesn't end there. You have to start the right players each week, and acquire the right players via trades and free agency throughout the season.

Our Draft, Lineup, Trade, and Team Analyzer tools provide personalized expert analysis all season long for up to five of your rosters. Remember, your membership doesn't automatically renew. If you have yet to register this 2010 NFL Fantasy Football Season, don't miss out -- join now.

Rice out half the year

If you had Sidney Rice on your roster already you got an Alert early Tuesday morning saying that he's expected to miss at least half the season.

But, did you know an Alert was sent out last week, before Rice opted to have hip surgery, about Bernard Berrian potentially being a smart acquisition because of the injury concerns with Rice?

Do you know what's up with Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas? Who is the WR to own from the Denver Broncos? Is there pertinent fantasy impact associated with Greg Camarillo's trade from Miami to Minnesota - to him or other players on those two teams? SMART Alerts subscribers know.
