Now that the season is in full swing and a majority of the huge pickups have been made (Berkman?), we’re officially in the grind. Every little move, every little pickup, and every little start/benching has an effect in both head-to-head and Rotisserie leagues. This where the champs start to emerge, don’t be one of those laissez-faire managers that miss out on the Ryan Braun’s and Tim Lincecum’s that tend to pop up mid-season.
The biggest event in North American mixed martial arts history and perhaps the most significant card ever assembled takes place this Saturday night at Toronto’s Rogers Centre as Georges St-Pierre and Jake Shields will go to war for the UFC welterweight championship in front of 55,000 fans.
In other pivotal fights, Ontario’s own Mark Hominick can realize his dream when he challenges Brazilian wrecking machine Jose Aldo for the UFC featherweight title and legendary UFC Hall of Famer Randy “The Natural” Couture will have his last professional fight against former champion Lyoto Machida.
Here’s a closer look at the match-ups on tap for this historic event:
Lets not waste anytime and get right into this edition of the Injury Report!
In this feature we will be examining different players values relevant to themselves as opposed to comparing them to others. This will assist more in watch lists and team evaluations, as well as tracking players trending up or down. We will have 3 categories:
“3-0, taking all the way” - which will highlight low risk, high reward players as well as streaking players that are most likely to maintain high levels of production.
“0-2, fighting them off” – which will highlight players that are in dangerous waters, whether it be slumps, nagging injuries or player movements that could jeopardize a players fantasy value.

Sometimes certain players get hot for whatever reason. It could be due to a starter getting injured, or they won their coaches heart, or even because they simply got better or something clicked. Whatever the reason is for a player to explode on to the scene is irrelevant. What is relevant is that you keep up with the trends and make sure these guys somehow get on your roster.
The fantasy playoffs are umong us and now is the most important time to make an impact.
The goal, is to let other managers draft the weary. Understanding the status of a players injury or their progress in rehabilitation will give you the edge needed to draft intelligently.
