Just because the first game of the NFL season is exactly 64 days away doesn’t mean it isn’t football season.

For the past few weeks, I have already been fully engulfed in football. Checking out roster moves, injury updates, police wires, etc. to see which players are poised for outstanding seasons in 2008.

I need to know these things, because you see I am what you call a fantasy geek. It’s OK, you can call me that, I’ve been called worse.

I’m such a fantasy geek that for the last 30 minutes or so I’ve been reading ESPN.com’s Matthew Berry’s list of guys he loves and guys he hates for the upcoming fantasy football season.

And I hated everything he had to say.

Hopefully, for this football season, we here at Fighting Dobermans.com can make you hate everything we have to say. Well, at least when it comes to fantasy football.

Starting today, and running through the football season,  I will be dropping some knowledge on my readers as to who to start, and who to sit each week for your fantasy football season.

One of the main reasons behind this is to help everybody out and make your team more competitive, and hopefully, with a bit of luck, help you win some cold, hard cash with a championship.

Personally, I know how hard it is to get valid and helpful information when trying to decide who to start and who to sit each week.

You can log on to espn.com for help, but with a million people sending in questions, don’t count on getting your question answered until after you have set your lineup and find out that Travis Henry has fathered another child and won’t be playing that day.

Same thing goes for all the other fantasy websites out there. Most will give you contradictory information, and lead you to be more confused then Paris Hilton at a 3rd grade spelling bee.

That’s what I’m here for. Submit your questions to us each week and we’ll be sure to answer them in a timely matter. Maybe, with a little coaxing, we’ll be available Sunday mornings before you have to set your lineup. But that’s yet to be determined.

As for now, here’s a list of a few guys I hate heading into the 2008 fantasy football season, with 2 word reasons why you should stay away.

Marvin Harrison, WR, Colts: falling apart

Travis Henry, RB, no team: see above

Tatum Bell, RB, Lions: He’s awful

Chris Chambers, WR, Chargers: LaDainian Tomlinson

Michael Turner, RB, Falcons: He’s not (LaDainian Tomlinson)

Fred Taylor, RB, Jaguars: Left groin

Jeremy Shockey, TE, Giants: Bad attitude

Cedric Benson, RB, no team: Drinking problem

Matthew Berry, writer, ESPN.Com: No sense

Matt Jones, WR, Jags: Coke problem
