Welcome to another season of the Hotpage. For those of you unfamiliar with the Hotpage, it is your weekly source for player rankings by position for each week. The rankings are matchup-based and are intended for use in determining which of your players to use/sit and what free agents you might consider with favorable matchups.

Special thanks to Greg Ambrosius, Tom Kessenith, and their staff that worked this past weekend’s National Fantasy Football Championship and NBC Primetime event, especially those in Orlando where I drafted on Saturday. More on the NFFC event tomorrow in the NFFC Zone on the CREATiVESPORTS website.

Good luck to all this fantasy football season!
