In terms of user participation, Fantasy Football is without question the industry standard by which all other Fantasy sports are measured. However, if you want to gauge Fantasy passion and knowledge, baseball is king.
There's no hiding in Fantasy Baseball. If you don't prepare and put in the time, the other owners in your league will devour you. A few years of consistently finishing near the bottom of your league and you'll likely drop out to avoid further humilation or you'll wise up and come to learn that third-year pitchers and 27-year olds are a good bet for a breakout season.

With that in mind, we here at CBS SportsLine want you to win your league (unless you play with one of us). To that end, we have compiled the best analysis, projections and opinions the industry has to offer. From the top rookies to target to the breakout studs in 2006, our experts will get you ready for Draft Day and beyond.
