Need help with preparing for your fantasy football league? The Fantasy Guru is here once again to give you a few tips on how to play the crazy game of fantasy football.

Rankings always generate a lot of debate – just look at the questions I answered in the mailbag last week about Cam Newton and Ryan Mathews. Some calls you get right, some you don’t. One thing is always true however – lineup decisions have to be made and you can use all the help you can get. Here’s my contribution to your push for a win this week.
