Since breaking the touchdown record last season, San Diego’s LaDainian Tomlinson — or LT for those who have trouble spelling his name or lack the patience to pronounce it — has become the pinnacle fantasy knight in shining armor.

Barry Sanders is up-front in stating his opinion about where to start building a team.
Start up front, on the offensive line, Sanders says.
“I think, every year, when you look in the playoffs and Super Bowl, that fact is made even more obvious. You always have to shore up your line of scrimmage.”
No question, Barry Sanders knows football. And being a runner, one thing he understands more than anything else is that the offensive line is the most important part of an offense.
