    TITLE: The Week 3 Fantasy Football All-Available Team Hey everyone. Check out my picks for the week 3 fantasy football "All-Available" team. According to point projections and ownership percentages on Yahoo!, the following players are likely to be top scorers and are also "all available" in at least 40% of fantasy leagues. If you need a fill in player, or you need to replace injured stars like Jamaal Charles or Peyton Manning, you're guy could be listed below.Quarterback: Rex Grossman (Redskins). The guy is going against Dallas. Last year, he torched them for 322 yards and 4 TDs. If you're still looking for a replacement for the loss of Peyton Manning, Grossman is the right guy for you this week, and he's available in around 75% of fantasy leagues.Running Backs: Dexter McCluster (Chiefs) and Pierre Thomas (Saints). You're not going to be able to replace the production of Charles with a guy on the waiver wire, but McCluster seems to be the back that most fantasy experts (and us too) think has the most value the rest of the season. He can be had in 50% of leagues. Pierre Thomas remains in a time share in New Orleans even though he technically is the "starter." He's going up against Houston in week 3, and they are due to finally give up some rushing yards this week. Grab Thomas in 40% of leagues.Wide Receivers: Lance Moore (Saints), Jacoby Jones (Texans), and Jerome Simpson (Bengals). Moore is probably the best option here because Drew Brees spreads the ball around better than Matt Schaub - Brees also has comparatively less talent in the backfield. Jones also doesn't have the luxury of catching passes against his own defense. So far this season, the 49ers have given up the most fantasy points to wide receivers, so Simpson is an attractive sleeper in spite of the fact his home was searched by Kentucky police after 8.5 lbs of marijuana were discovered there earlier this week. All three wideouts are available in over 50% of fantasy leagues.Tight End: Jermaine Gresham (Bengals). The beatdown on the Niners D continues at tight end. Gresham only had two catches for 8 yards in week 2, but San Fran's D is giving up 6 catches for 70 yards on average to tight ends through two games. Gresham is available in 75% of fantasy leagues, and Andy Dalton should come of age quickly with the Niners secondary.Kicker: John Kasay (Saints). His age (41) is higher than his ownership percentage (37%). But the Saints kicker who has replaced Garrett Hartley is currently the no. 1 kicker in the game... so he's got to be on your squad if you need some leg.Defense: Arizona Cardinals. According to ESPN ownership data, the Cards team D is available in over 90% of leagues... and they're matched up against Seattle. Seahawks QB Tavaris Jackson is getting sacked 5 times a game on average, so if Arizona gets to him that many times, too, your team D could be in line for 10 points before anything else is taken into consideration. In most weeks, no one would tell you to add Arizona - but the matchup means you should probably do it. For more league winning fantasy football tips, please visit my blog - Fantasy Football Sideline. Good luck in week 3!

 

 

TITLE: Hump Day Hot Links
AUTHOR: Jonathan Bentz, FantasyBaseballDugout.com

What's up? I'm Jonathan Bentz, one of the fantasy sports experts you can hear each week on the show... and read each week over at Fantasy Baseball Dugout and Fantasy Football Sideline. Since I can't ever seem to put my laptop down and am always reading sports blogs, I've also decided to hook Pete and the Spadora On Sports team up with a couple posts each month.

The sports blogosphere is a ridiculously large webspace... and there are specific blogs out there about almost every area of the world of sports. Hopefully, my blog post today is helpful for anyone new to the sports blog scene and looking for some of the best out there.

Today, I wanted to take some time to share with the Spadora On Sports family five of my favorite links from around the internet. These are some of the hottest sports links on the web right now. And each of them are definitely worth a click.

The links may look strange, but they're legit and will take you to the right destination. Through the website StumbleUpon.com, I was able to shorten the actual web addresses of these sites into something short and easy to paste. Click with confidence.

Got some links you want me to check out for a future blog post? Email me - fantasybaseballdugout [at] gmail [dot] com – or get in touch with me on Twitter - @jonathanbentz.

Now, onto the links of the week...

1. The Hottest Baseball Wives Of 2011 [VIDEO] (http://su.pr/2SsHql) – If you caught our spot on last weekend's show, you know the voting has begun to crown Baseball's Hottest Wife 2011. This is the third year we have done a video featuring the finalists – and once again, it doesn't disappoint. If you can spare 4 minutes and have YouTube available at work – take a glance. And get to our site to vote! 

2. Heath Bell One Of Ten Most Likely To Get Traded (http://su.pr/1l4VcG) – Fantasy Baseball Hot Stove.com has put together a list of ten players most likely to get traded before the July 31 MLB Trading Deadline and how their possible trade destinations will effect their fantasy value. I took particular interest in Hot Stove's analysis of Braves starter Derek Lowe.

3. The 10 Most Unrealistic Sports Scenes In Movie History (http://su.pr/1Fit4C) – Sadly, I have four of these flicks in my personal DVD collection. If I had to pick one movie scene that didn't make the list here, it has to be Wesley Snipes' dunks in “White Men Can't Jump.” I know we're supposed to believe that Sidney Dean can take it to the rack, but Snipes only stands 5'9” in real life - so I ain't buying it. He's layup city if you see him balling on the streets. 

4. The Best Sports Bars In America (http://su.pr/9dajFC) – I haven't had the chance to attend any of these bars, but I'm definitely adding them to the list of places to visit as I make travel plans in the future. One major note though... how did Murphy's Bleachers NOT make this list?

5. Five Must Drink Beers Sold In MLB Stadiums (http://su.pr/1kEBeh) - Pete and I discussed this article we published on Fantasy Baseball Dugout during our segment a couple weeks ago. This article breaks down the five best microbrews sold in Major League stadiums across the country. My personal favorite is Yards IPA in Philadelphia... but a strong argument has to be made for Dale's Pale Ale at Coors Field in Colorado. It's as good as many of the best beers at ballparks – and it only comes in a can!
