For you history buffs, we will archive every article penned by the Shark Team in 2006. As each week is finished, we will move the content to this page so you can reminisce about the good old days ... like week 1.
The name of the column changes, but the guy writing the drivel remains the same. The draft is over; however, the work isn't. Following the storylines can help you swing that trade or pick up that free agent who will put your team over the top.

Welcome to another year of the Start/Bench List. This list will include a handful of players at each skill position that has either a very favorable matchup or a matchup to avoid. Not every player at every skill position will be listed every week. Instead of a watered-down version of predicting each player's performance, this list will focus on a select group of players whose chances to succeed or fail are increased based on their opponent of the week.
Regular Season Time, I’d like to thank everyone who’s been following my column for the last couple years. It’s a lot of fun, and I’m looking forward to a VERY profitable season this year.

To save you time, please send all 'you're a dork' Email directly to me. The Texans are going to make a game of it with the Colts. In fact, this game will come down to the final possession and the team that kicks the final FG with time running out will walk away the victor.

Ah yes, the first sleeper article of the season. It's Fall in Las Vegas and the Betbot is back with some deeper sleepers and a tale about David Hasselhoff, before he was big in Germany (The Hoff we mean, the Betbot's been huge in Germany since BMW used the Bebot's body chassis as a model for their intial 3 series rear bumpers)
The Hive (IDP) - Week 2 Gary "SJSwarm" Chamberlain, Fantasy Football Staff Writer Sep 14, 2006
Welcome to week 2 in The Hive, your one stop game by game IDP breakdown! There are some great matchups this week, so let's get to it!
The Cardinals and Eagles soared above all others in week one, while the Raiders and Bucs were swabbing the deck. In week two, look for the Eagles to continue their aerial assault joined by the Colts. The Broncos, Bengals and the incomparable Frank Gore will continue to find success on the ground in week two.
It takes offenses around the league a little more than a half hour worth of pre-season games to start to click, and so usually week 1 fantasy #’s are not indicative of anything really.The point is, it’s not time to trade Shaun Alexander for Frank Gore.
Greetings, mortals! It's that time again! Get the wife out of the house, the Cheetos back into the depths of the loveseat, and the lawn can wait for another day...football season is here!
Here we are, sports fans, the regular season is finally upon us once again. The off-season was once again filled with T.O., Ricky, Maurice, and a little guy from USC named Reggie. We’ll get to those things, but lets start with the current events.
Week One in Review Doug Coutts, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer Sep 11, 2006
The NFL regular season is off and running! But before we get into that, please make sure you take a moment to reflect on the events that took place five years ago on this day.
Come on now. Oklahoma, even with the officiating, could beat the Titans. Ronnie Brown goes super nova in this one. Ignore all other players in this contest, they don't belong in your lineup.
WOW – 7-0 to start the season, maybe I should quit my day job! OK, maybe not, but that is a solid gold record. I hope you have been following my picks with your wallet, and rolling in the ‘play’ dough.
Games to Watch - Week 3 Chris Dolfi and Tom Braun, Fantasy Football Staff Writer Sep 22, 2006
With so many division matchups this week you just knew it was going to be hard to pick the top 3 games to watch this week - but somehow we managed; and still found time to order the wings, stock the mini-fridge, and turn on the big screen.
Brain and Braun Tom Braun and Chris Dolfi, Fantasy Football Staff Writer Sep 22, 2006
This week Brain and Braun discuss ice sales, restraining orders, and most importantly, how to increase the number of trades in your league without increasing the body count.
At this point my season looks like the injury status on my players.So what is the difference between Questionable and Doubtful?I don’t think I can tell but I will question and doubt my way through this week, my friends.
Along with the usual hijinx, there's a quick update on the benefits of drafting for depth in an auction league, new leaders in the Mr. Random competition, and Jake Plummer still stinks.

Bye weeks begin this week and several stud TEs are off. Don't get caught a man down. Also, the Raiders are on a bye week, so all the LaMont Jordan and Randy Moss owners have a week off before deciding how to get 10 cents on the dollar for those fantasy busts.
It's here...the dreaded bye week! Larry Johnson, Julius Jones, Randy Moss, LaDainian Tomlinson, they're all riding pine this week! With so many fantasy studs out, your bench may make-or-break your matchup this weekend. But have no fear, young grasshoppa, help can be found...on the waiver wire!
Week Two In Review Doug Coutts, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer Sep 18, 2006
Week 2 is in the books, hopefully you've been able to get at least one win from your fantasy teams. It's no fun starting out 0-2....
The Jets will be surprisingly good against the Colts. They will run it a little as Kevan Barlow starts to show, just a little. They will throw it around to just about everyone ala the New England Patriots...
Games to Watch - Week 4 Chris Dolfi and Tom Braun, Fantasy Football Staff Writer Sep 29, 2006
This weeks games to watch include two defensive showndowns, an AFC tussle. and another heapin' helpin' of footbally goodness.

While I may consider myself a bright man, I’m really not. Not even close. Now onto all the storylines that are fit to pop in your mouth while your soon-to-be-ex publicist dials 911.
Don't look now, but here come the injuries. Shaun Alexander and Vernon Davis lead the way with several other big names dinged up or on a bye week. Team depth is essential in getting over the rough patches of the season so use your waiver wire wisely.

Another interesting week in the NFL...Alexander, Simms and Vernon "Don't call me VD" Davis go down, Warner's fumblitis returns, and the Texans backfield fails to impress in yet another sad new way. See how you should react to all of these situations in this weeks Waiver Wire column! And special guest stars...two guys named Maurice! Don't miss it!!
