For anything fantasy sports, you have come to the right place! The Fantasy Cafe main site is where it all comes together: hang out and relax in the main hall, or take a seat in one of our more specialized wings. There is a Cafe for Fantasy Football, Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Basketball, and Fantasy Hockey, as well as a site dedicated to Fantasy Cafe Radio.
Regardless of which corner of the Cafe you end up in, you will hopefully find it to be an easy-going and friendly place, where you can talk in a relaxed atmosphere, or simply pick up the information you need. Fantasy-wise, our menu includes Cheat Sheets, a nice selection of Sleepers, fresh Articles, Links to other fantasy sports resources, and a truckload of free games which you can find on the various subsites.
Forgot your wallet? No worries, we will not make you wash the dishes - everything on the Cafe's menu is absolutely free (free, but not for nothing). Just keep in mind that, as a community, the Cafe thrives from the efforts made by its members, so if you want to roll up your sleeves and help make the Cafe an even better place, you are always welcome. Enjoy the Cafe!

Welcome to The Can of Corn, hosted by Nate Davis and Michael Stephens! Just when you were starting to think you’d gotten rid of us, we’re back! After a couple of weeks of unavoidable commitments that made recording impossible, the guys at the Cafe’s own fantasy baseball podcast have returned with a fervor the likes of which hasn’t been seen around here lately (we promise)! This week’s show is filled to the brim with up-to-the-minute injury news and player updates, rookie developments and even vulture save candidates in the coming weeks (along with your favorite weekly segments like The Hot Corner, Battle of the Wits and Tools of the week, of course), so don’t miss out on the longest, and best, show of the 2010 season! It’s time to grab your glove and head for the outfield, because here comes The Can of Corn! [More]

How many carries is too many? Last year, one of the most hotly debated issues was whether or not to take a risk on a RB who carried the football more than 350 times. The prominent examples last year were Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings and Michael Turner of the Atlanta Falcons. Peterson went on to have a fantastic year, scoring 18 total TDs on another 314 carries. Michael Turner started out like gang busters until an ankle injury cut his season short in Week 10. Was it related to his 350+ carry season? Perhaps, however I would like to propose that another factor was in play — the additional grind that goes along with participating in the NFL playoffs. [More]

Do you know who has the second-best save percentage in the NHL right now? It’s not Luongo or Brodeur, but the Atlanta Trashers’ Johan Hedburg instead at .933 in 13 games, starting for what I think is one of the worst defensive (and best offensive) teams in the league. Hedburg is 7-3 this season and is tied for fifth in the league with a 2.15 GAA. As Kari Lehtonen remains out and has not resumed skating, Hedburg is competing for the job with a goalie 14 years his junior, Ondrej Pavelec. Pavelec has allowed three or more goals in 10 of his past 13 appearances and four or more in seven of those games. [More]
