FDH Insider: January 31, 2008

On tonight’s edition of THE FANTASYDRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER on SportsTalkNetwork.com (9-11 PM EST), we bring you an unbelievable mock draft doubleheader. Our NASCAR experts’ league mock draft comes in Hour One and our annual golf draft follows in Hour Two.

Will Tiger Woods go first in the golf draft? Well, that may not be a matter of much suspense, but we will sort through a multitude of vital issues on the stock car and golf circuits tonight.

Tune in for all of the information you need to whip your friends and leaguemates tonight! Our golf draft board and suggested league guidelines are here. Our golf mock draft will be posted on our main golf page and our NASCAR mock draft will be part of our 2008 FantasyDrafthelp.com Fantasy Draft Guide, to be made available for FREE on February 4.

FDH Insider: January 24, 2008

Our program on SportsTalkNetwork.com was canceled, due to circumstances on the STN end. We'll be back at our usual time of 9-11 PM EST next Thursday, January 31 with our 2008 golf and NASCAR mock drafts and we apologize for our absence tonight.

FDH Insider: January 17, 2008

Sorry for the abbreviated agenda tonight. We lead with the MMA fantasy draft, then further NFL fantasy football recap, a look ahead to the NFL draft and also to other programming notes with FDH. Join us on SportsTalkNetwork.com.

FDH Insider: January 10, 2008

Tonight's return to the cyberairwaves will be a big one for THE FANTASYDRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER (9-11 PM EST on SportsTalkNetwork.com). The fastest-paced program on STN each week will be jam-packed with several topics from the entire fantasy sports landscape as usual:

9:00: It's that time of year again! With the Australian Open looming just days away, it's time for our annual fantasy tennis mock draft. Tonight begins a stretch of mock drafts for niche fantasy sports over the next few months, including next week's big MMA draft.

9:55: If it's January, it's time to get hardcore about fantasy baseball preparation. Tonight, we look at the Top 100 Keeper League prospects.

10:20: We begin to look back at lessons learned from the 2007 fantasy football season. Tonight: how this year changed the perception of running backs automatically going in the first round.

10:40: We ease into our 2008 NFL Draft preparation with a review of some of the content on our FDH Lounge blog.

Tune us in tonight for the greatest two hours of fantasy coverage you will find anywhere.

FDH Insider: January 3, 2008

It's a new year, but the intensity will be at the usual high level on THE FANTASYDRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER on SportsTalkNetwork.com this Thursday night from 9-11 PM EST.

9 PM: We'll be taking our first look back at the 2007 fantasy football season, extracting the lessons that can already be learned even before the offseason gets underway.

10:10 PM: Speaking of the offseason, we've been hard at work during the bowl games monitoring the draft value of top college players. We'll give you your first look this year on the show at how these players rate and who are the few who might affect your fantasy bottom line next year.

10:45 PM: We take a look ahead to next week's tennis draft, which includes men & women players and comes just before the start of the Australian Open.

Tune in for the fastest-paced two hours you will find each week on STN!
