The topic of FAAB is always an interesting one and we took a few minutes to review some of the strategies that can be employed to successfully utilize this player acquisition process. There are no simple hard and fast rules when approaching FAAB, but took some time to review some of our personal thoughts and strategies.

With this mind, how could we not take the opportunity to discuss the amazing start we’ve seen from the Cleveland Indians? The Tribe currently enjoys a 4.5-game lead in the AL Central. Anyone that predicted such a scenario a month or so ago would have to be accused of drinking a bit too much Lake Erie water (of course, we would have already known that because they would be glowing — and not in a good way).

Are these performances that will be built on or just simply temporary aberrations? What does Week Two have in the cards for some of the players currently enjoying hot starts to the 2011 campaign?

As we head into another season, it’s time to look at some of our early prognostications. What players have the potential to move into the first round looking to 2012? What players have the best odds of moving out of that top tier? We then reviewed some players that we believe have the potential to return solid profits based on their current triple-digit ADP.

As the season approaches each and every week we’ll deal with the questions that will make or break your Fantasy squad for the 2011 season.
