Each season fantasy owners lose their bid for championships due to key players not living up to expectations. In this article we detail players to avoid or not draft as highly as you may be tempted to. While we are not suggesting that every player on this list will be a complete bust, some players simply are drafted far too highly, thus earning the "overvalued" label. Every player can be drafted at the right bargain price, but you never want to be caught up in the hype machine that inevitably consumes several owners per league each year.
Editor's note: All average draft position figures are based on standard 12-team leagues.
Matt Hasselbeck | Seattle Seahawks
Wideout Deion Branch (knee) is coming off a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and may not be ready for Week 1; wideout Bobby Engram (shoulder) may miss the team's first four games. Seattle has several young receivers - Ben Obomanu, Courtney Taylor, Logan Payne and Jordan Kent - who may not be ready to step up. The tight end position could take an early hit with rookie John Carlson as the expected starter. Finally, they have a new and unimposing backfield after cutting former MVP Shaun Alexander, which could lead to instability. Hasselbeck (back) is going on average at about the same time as Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb - in the middle of the sixth round. However, there is clear upside with McNabb, while with Hasselbeck, there is clear downside. New York Jets quarterback Brett Favre seems to be a safer selection, yet on average, he goes more than a full round after Hasselbeck. Hasselbeck is still a weak No. 1 quarterback.
Don't believe the hype surrounding Manning; his numbers don't back up his high draft position. He actually regressed last year with a 3,336-23-20 line. His yardage was the only total to increase but still didn't set a career high. If not for a four-touchdown game in Week 17, he would have failed to eclipse the 20-touchdown mark. As well, Manning had almost quadrupled his fumbles lost, and his completion percentage declined. Wide receiver Plaxico Burress is not happy with his contract, and tight end Jeremy Shockey is now a member of the New Orleans Saints. Manning's Super Bowl win and pedigree could be why some owners are drafting him so early. His average draft position suggests he should land somewhere around the beginning of the eighth round - ahead of potentially more dangerous St. Louis Rams quarterback Marc Bulger and high-upside Denver Broncos passer Jay Cutler. That is simply too early for a backup fantasy quarterback.
David Garrard | Jacksonville Jaguars
Head coach Jack Del Rio might be looking for a low-key, game-managing quarterback as his starter, but game-managers are rarely associated with fantasy success. Sure, Garrard is starting, but he did not do much last year to suggest he will be anything more than a solid No. 2 fantasy quarterback. He threw more than two touchdowns just once last season (in 12 games) and surpassed the 250-yard mark just three times. Garrard has not reached 300 yards passing in a game during his career, either. The offense revolves around running backs Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor. Despite new options at wide receiver, Jerry Porter (hamstring) and Troy Williamson, don't expect Del Rio to change the offensive philosophy. Garrard, who is injury prone, does not present enough upside to bother considering as anything more than a near last resort as a No. 2. Garrard's average draft position is the ninth round, which places him ahead of more reasonable options at the position, such as the Houston Texans' Matt Schaub and Green Bay Packers' Aaron Rodgers - two quarterbacks that have their own injury questions but play in far more prolific offenses.
Tom Brady | New England Patriots
One year after setting an NFL record with 49 touchdown passes, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning - likely taken as one of the top picks in 2005 fantasy drafts - threw for just 28 touchdowns and 3,747 yards. They're great numbers but not worth a high first-round pick. Brady is coming off a record-breaking season in which he threw for 4,806 yards and 50 touchdowns, which has him going around the middle of the first round in many fantasy drafts. Manning isn't the only passer to follow up a record-setting season with one that is merely very good. Brady never threw for more than 28 touchdowns before last year's effort. The average drop-off for quarterbacks that have thrown 40 or more touchdowns in a season is 37 percent, which suggests Brady is good for approximately 32 or 33 touchdowns. The Patriots offense might not go for broke, running up the score, as they did most of last year. Brady slowed down in the last six games and threw more than two touchdown passes in just two games during that stretch. He is worth a high pick, but don't take him in the first round. Let another owner take a risk on Brady while you secure a stud No. 1 running back.
Running backs
Brown (knee, thumb) was placed on Injured Reserve in Week 7 of 2007 with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee. It was his third straight season cut short due to injuries. It generally takes 18 months for running backs to return to their pre-injury form after an ACL injury. Early reports were encouraging, but Brown hasn't made them stick - he has been slow to heal and also sustained a minor thumb injury in a preseason contest. Such developments have opened the door for running back Ricky Williams, who has been named the No. 1 runner in Miami. As the season progresses, we could see more of Brown, but it's a gamble, and drafters will have to stash him. Owners are taking Brown early in the fourth round as a No. 2 or No. 3 back, which is way too early. He should be viewed as a No. 4 back with the possibility that he'll contribute more after the midseason mark.
Darren McFadden | Oakland Raiders
McFadden's inclusion on this list comes more as a warning than as an overvalued player. He is going in the late fourth round in most drafts; however, some owners are reaching for him as early as the second round. There is a lot to like about McFadden as a No. 3 back with upside - his speed, his versatility, his playmaking ability - but drafting him as a No. 2 back is not advised. Without a respectable passing game in place, the Raiders could find opponents regularly stacking eight men in the box to stop the run. Sharing time with running back Justin Fargas doesn't help, and you can be sure that the team is at least curious to see what they have in tailback Michael Bush. Look to draft McFadden in the late fourth or early fifth round, but don't reach for him as a No. 2 back.
Laurence Maroney | New England Patriots
Surprisingly, Maroney is not the fantasy stud you might expect in a high-octane offense such as the Patriots'. He has potential, but there are some glaring weaknesses in Maroney's fantasy value. The team's offense uses their passing game almost like a running game. They have multiple targets, which takes away from Maroney's utilizations. Running backs Kevin Faulk, Sammy Morris and, perhaps, even LaMont Jordan are primed to poach Maroney's touches; it has been speculated that Maroney will see only about a third of the time in the backfield. Last season Maroney finished with just 193 utilizations. As well, Maroney is injury prone, having missed a handful of games combined in his first two seasons. Head coach Bill Belichick tends to pour on his carries toward the end of the season, which will not help you much during the early part of the campaign. Maroney's average draft position puts him at about 21st overall, quite a high price. He may still be a reasonable No. 3 back - especially late in the season - but drafting him in the second round is fantasy suicide, and he may only be a fantasy No. 4 at best early in the year.
Julius Jones | Seattle Seahawks
Jones, the Dallas Cowboys' starter last year in name only, will share the backfield once again, according to head coach Mike Holmgren. However, there are reasons to be wary of Jones, especially at his current draft position of late in the sixth round. The Seahawks have a solid starting offensive line, but they lack depth. They also have two other backs that figure to steal carries from Jones. Running back Maurice Morris is entering his seventh season in Seattle and has been a dependable backup as well as moonlighting starter in the past. Running back T.J. Duckett is expected to be used as a goal line and in short-yardage situations. Jones has not reached the 100-yard mark in a game since Week 14 of the 2006 season. The Seahawks ground game did not have a 100-yard rusher after Week 3 last year, so this could be a match made in heaven - note the sarcasm. Finally, Holmgren loves to throw the ball and has full trust in veteran quarterback Matt Hasselbeck (back). Look for him to try to rely heavily on the passing game, especially if his rush offense takes some time to gel under a new offensive line coach and with the additions. New York Jets running back Thomas Jones' younger bro is still worth drafting, but he has a long way to go to join the same conversation and should only come off the board as a No. 4.
Wide receivers
Randy Moss | New England Patriots
Congratulations if you drafted Moss last year; his 1,493 yards and 23 touchdowns likely helped you to your league championship. Moss' record-breaking 2007 season has some fantasy owners taking the mercurial star in the first round. It is tough to expect Moss to put up the astronomical numbers that he did last year. The offense might not go for the jugular as it did last year, and at the very least it doesn't figure to be as prolific base on the sheer odds. He also has a new three-year contract extension, so he won't be playing for his next paycheck as he was last year. The chance of him replicating last year's insane season is microscopic. He is still the top receiver in the league, but fantasy owners should look to take him in the second round instead of his average draft spot at eighth overall. Chances are he will be overdrafted, but make sure you aren't that owner!
Hines Ward | Pittsburgh Steelers
Ward has been declining over the last three years, though you won't be able to tell from the ever-present smile on his face. He has not topped 1,000 yards in the past three seasons and managed just seven touchdowns last year. Emerging third-year wide receive Santonio Holmes looms and should steal targets from Ward. The team drafted wide receiver Limas Sweed, whose height should help in the red zone. Even if Holmes doesn't emerge, Ward is entering his 11th season and has failed to complete a season injury free since 2004. Ward's average draft position - late in the fifth round - has him going ahead of wide receivers that have more potential or don't look primed for a decline. Ward should be seen as a No. 3 receiver with minimal upside.
Calvin Johnson | Detroit Lions
There is a lot to like about Johnson, but he might still be a year or two away from living up to his potential. Johnson put together a respectable rookie campaign - 48 receptions, 756 yards, four touchdowns - despite suffering a back injury and dealing with offensive turmoil surrounding him. There are a few things to note about him. He works in a run-first offense that does not possess a strong quarterback or offensive line. Even then, he is the team's second receiver, so targets might be tough to come by. Another strike against him is that receivers generally don't make the jump until their third or fourth year. In fact, not only has he been overvalued, but his draft stock has been inexplicably on the rise. There is no denying his talent, but experience, opportunity and surroundings have to be considered. It's smarter to draft Johnson as a No. 3 receiver rather than as a No. 2. Many fantasy owners seem to be ignoring the signs, though, taking him, on average, late in the fourth round - a steep price to pay for someone with such risk. Other intriguing receivers, including his teammate, Roy Williams, often go after him.
Dwayne Bowe | Kansas City Chiefs
Bowe surprised many by putting solid numbers during his rookie season, finishing with 995 yards and five touchdowns on 70 receptions. The bulky receiver showed his potential as a possession receiver by posting four games with seven-plus receptions. However, fantasy owners are overvaluing him this year based on his No. 1 status. Don't be too quick to forget about the extenuating circumstances in Kansas City. Herman Edwards is still the head coach and favors a run-first offense. The team lacks a solid quarterback - our apologies to Brodie Croyle - which should also hurt Bowe's chances. The receiver likely lining up opposite him - Devard Darling - shouldn't draw a lot of coverage away from Bowe. There is also not much reason to expect him to improve by leaps and bounds this year - at least, no reason to view him as a No. 2 receiver. Consider him grossly overvalued at his typical draft position of the late fifth or early sixth rounds.
Vincent Jackson | San Diego Chargers
Jackson presents quarterback Philip Rivers with a huge target in the receiving game. However, Jackson doesn't sit high enough in the pecking order to justify his average draft position. The Chargers have tight end Antonio Gates (toe) as their top receiving target, and the offense is still built around All-Pro running back LaDainian Tomlinson, who catches his share of balls, too. The Chargers also picked up another wide receiver, Chris Chambers, last year; he almost passed Jackson's reception totals last year in just 10 games with the team. Fantasy owners are generally looking at Jackson around the middle of the seventh round. One more proven option owners are passing up is Washington Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss, who has a lower ADP than Jackson. Hold off on taking Jackson at this spot in fantasy drafts; he makes a mildly intriguing No. 3 and has some upside. Unfortunately, his ceiling, due to the situation around him, is lower than most people want to acknowledge.
Tight ends
Dallas Clark | Indianapolis Colts
Clark was a beast for the Colts last year, especially in the red zone. He hit paydirt 11 times and caught 58 passes for 616 yards - all career highs. However, quarterback Peyton Manning's once favorite target - wide receiver Marvin Harrison (knee) - played in just five games. Harrison appears to be returning to form, so he should eat into Clark's targets fairly heavily. Wide receivers Anthony Gonzalez and Reggie Wayne, as well as running back Joseph Addai, will get their touches, too. Clark did little before last year's breakout campaign to suggest he is a top fantasy tight end, although owners are taking him as one - in the middle of sixth round, on average. If you draft him, make sure to secure a strong backup.
Vernon Davis | San Francisco 49ers
Davis was a workout monster at the 2006 NFL Scouting Combine. His efforts earned him the sixth overall spot in that draft and many expected him to hook up with quarterback Alex D. Smith as a solid passing combination for years to come. Since his first-round selection, Davis has done little to impress the 49ers. He has missed time in both seasons, averaged 387 yards and 3.5 touchdowns per season. This year could be no different. You have to go back to tight end Ernie Conwell in the early part of this decade to find a tight end that put up decent numbers in a Mike Martz offense. Although J.T. O'Sullivan has been named the starting quarterback, consistent play at this position isn't a certainty. Davis is typically drafted as a second-tier No. 1 end in the ninth round, even though his history suggests he is overvalued. Look at him as a reasonable No. 2 tight end.
Benjamin Watson | New England Patriots
Watson has the look of a sexy pick - decent numbers and a spot in a high-octane offense. However, the offense does not boost Watson's value as some might imagine. Wide receivers Randy Moss and Wes Welker are the primary targets. The tight end position as a whole has done well in the Patriots offense, but not a specific individual, at least from a fantasy perspective, since the days of Ben Coates. New England spreads it around a lot. Watson's touchdowns were up last year, but it's hard to imagine the offense repeating its record-setting 2007 season. His best numbers came in 2006, when he caught 49 passes for 643 yards and three touchdowns. That's weak No. 1 tight end material, not a midrange No. 1 tight end owners are drafting him as. Watson had 107 yards in a game last year, but he averaged less than 26 yards per game in every other contest, hardly befitting a dependable No. 1 tight end. Finally, Watson has missed eight games in three seasons, not including his rookie year, most of which he lost to a knee injury. The Patriots' secrecy with injuries makes following his situation even more frustrating. Fantasy owners are drafting Watson around the turn between the 10th and 11th rounds. There should be better players at other positions available at this spot and comparable tight ends available later, so hold off on Watson until later in the draft.
Place kickers
Nate Kaeding | San Diego Chargers
Since coming into the league in 2004, Kaeding has not put together the kind of resume you might expect from a top-flight place kicker. The
Adam Vinatieri | Indianapolis Colts
Perhaps the most well-known kicker in the league, Vinatieri is no longer one of the elite fantasy kickers. He suffered through his worst season last year since 2003, connecting on just 23 of his 29 attempts. He no longer has the leg strength he exhibited in his early days. Last year, he did not make any field goals longer than 39 yards, failing in his three attempts over 40 yards. A big chunk of his value comes from the 51 extra points he kicked last year. The Colts offense is dangerous, but you have to go back to former kicker Mike Vanderjagt's 37-attempt season in 2003 for the last time a Colts kicker attempted more than 30 field goals. Fantasy owners have been looking his way around the middle of the 14th round, which is a bit high considering the comparable talent likely available later.
Defensive teams
Linebacker Ray Lewis is another year older, as are starting cornerbacks Samari Rolle and Chris McAlister. With the retirements of quarterback Steve McNair and offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden, coupled with a new offensive philosophy, the team's offense could struggle again this year. This could leave the defense on the field longer and see them tire earlier. As well, they do not contribute as much on special teams, if you are in those types of leagues. Don't take this to mean you shouldn't draft them, but you can't expect the same defense that has been dominant in past years. View their disastrous 2007 effort as a harbinger of things to come in '08, especially considering that age is hardly on their side. Consider taking them in the final few rounds of your draft, instead of at the time of their ADP, which is around the 12th round on average.
The Bears suffer from the same problem as the Baltimore Ravens; they are a name defense that is generally overvalued in fantasy drafts. Injuries played a part in their regression last year, but the defense still finished in the bottom five in yards allowed per game and 17th in points per game. Sure, they get a boost in leagues that reward special-teams scores; return man Devin Hester continues to hurt the teams that actually kick the ball to him. However, they are no longer one of the elite defenses in the league, and you shouldn't look to them at their average draft position of midway through the 10th round. Some owners even reach for this unit in the seventh or eighth round, which is absurd given the talent available at other positions.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time To Launch U.K. National Tour
By Mark Shenton
The National Theatre's production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, adapted by Simon Stephens from Mark Haddon's novel of the same name, is to embark on a U.K. national tour, beginning performances at Salford's The Lowry Dec. 18 for a run through Jan. 10, 2015. Further tour dates are yet to be announced.
In a press statement, Julia Fawcett, chief executive of The Lowry, said: "Simon Stephens' adaptation of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is one of the most imaginative and unique theatrical adaptations of recent times and we are delighted to be opening the first performance of its UK tour here in Salford. The opportunity to present a multiple-Olivier award-winning production of this calibre to North West audiences is something of which The Lowry is incredibly proud. It is also further proof of the mutual benefit of the longstanding and ever-growing partnership between ourselves and the National Theatre – which has brought some 22 productions to our stage, the last of which, War Horse, was the biggest in our history."
The production, which opened at the National Theatre before transferring to the West End's Apollo Theatre, has been on hiatus since December 2013, following the collapse of part of the theatre's ceiling. During February, the show is being performed "in the round" in a stripped-down version for East London schools and audiences from the local London community. The play will resume its West End run at the Gielgud Theatre June 24. A Broadway bow has already been announced for October.

Blair advises Miliband to 'stay firm' and not follow UKIP
Former prime minister Tony Blair said he would advise Ed Miliband to "stay firm" following Labour's performance at the local and European elections.
Mr Blair told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It is not as if yielding to that pressure from UKIP has actually done the Conservative Party any good at the present time.
"For the Labour Party, if it decides to follow UKIP either on its anti-Europe platform or, even worse frankly, on its anti-immigration platform, then all that will happen is that it will confuse its own supporters and it won't actually draw any greater support."
Asked about the Lib Dems he said, "The problem they have is very simple - they fought the 2010 election on a platform significantly to the left of Labour and then ended up in a Conservative Government with a platform significantly to the right of Labour ... there's not really a cure for that."

How Can Burundi Raise its Growth Rate? the Impact of Civil Conflicts and State Interventionon Burundi'S Growth Performance
AbstractOver the last thirty years Burundi''s low economic growth has led to a significant decline in per capita GDP. The purpose of this paper is to shed light on supply-side constraints that prevented Burundi''s economy from growing faster. Lack of investment, civil conflict, economic inefficiencies, state intervention in the economy, and regulatory restrictions explain a large part of the weak growth performance for the last thirty years.

Thomas Reynolds Gallery Review
California realism and works inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement are the focus here. Many of the paintings depict Bay Area locales and were influenced by the Bay Area figurative movement, which dates back to the 1950s and incorporates both realist and abstract elements. The gallery is only open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, between noon and 6.

An East Knoxville night club is closed Thursday after claims of illegal gambling, drug sales and other crimes.
A judge determined that the Bottoms Up Lounge on East Magnolia Street had become a public nuisance.
The state says the club's owner was running an illegal gambling operation, selling drugs and selling alcohol without a permit. There have also been police reports citing several violent incidents dating back to September of last year.
The injunction also reports gang activity and that the club's owner, Rodney Bennett, is a known gang member.

Location was absolutely perfect--loved the little town, and close to many locations to drive on daytrips. Main room was perfect with all its windows; so relaxing especially with no television to detract from nature, water,and boats! Downstairs TV room was perfect for the kids, and for family movie nights. Just four of us stayed here, so didn't need the loft bedroom or downstairs bunks, but we all keep talking about how it was perfect for us and we can't wait to go back!

On the Water in Maine was helpful in getting a hot water situation worked out. We loved the great location on the water with great views. Can put in kayaks right from the beach, can build fire on the beach in the evening. The main bathroom is large, which is nice for larger groups.

I used to love it with that pronunciation. I used to talk to a woman from another forum who had a daughter named Helena (with that pronunciation), and until then I hated the name. I started to appreciate it because of her, and after I joined Nameberry I grew to like the Helen-ah pronunciation better, but I still like heh-LEE-nah. I think heh-LAY-nah and HEH-len-ah are easier to enforce, though.

Ask Sindie: 'My new cards went round the globe and back'
The trials of replacing stolen plastic... and when solicitors have second thoughts
Sunday 26 November 2006
Q: I am at my wits' end over my Nationwide building society credit card account.
My bag was stolen in Lewisham, south London, recently and I had to cancel all my credit and debit cards. No fraudulent transactions took place, but I have had huge problems replacing my cards and getting my online banking facility to work properly again.
It took two weeks for me to get a replacement debit card, and my credit card still hasn't been sorted out - I can't access the account details on my home computer.
And the direct debit from my bank account to pay my credit card bill has yet to be reinstated.
I have made several visits to Nationwide's Lewisham branch and sent emails to Nationwide via its secure website but have heard nothing. Can you help?
AB, via email
A: Your case shows how a single moment of misfortune can lead to weeks of woe. But, after some investigation by Sindie, it seems that not all the hazards you had to negotiate in your quest to get your accounts restored were necessarily the fault of Nationwide.
The first problem was your use of a different first name on your various accounts to the one used to sign your emails. This meant Nationwide could not easily locate your accounts.
Your new Flexaccount debit card did take a while to reach you, but Nationwide says it tells customers that a replacement card can take up to 10 working days - and the card did arrive within that limit.
The credit card proved more problematical. Your registered address for this card is in New Zealand, where you spend half of each year. Nationwide explains that, for security reasons, its processing centre is not able to send replacement cards overseas.
Cards are therefore sent to the holder's local UK branch and, accordingly, yours was sent to Lew-isham. Unfortunately, an industrious Nationwide staff member then looked up your registered address and dispatched the card to New Zealand before you could come in to fetch it.
When this mistake was realised, the replacement card had to be cancelled and yet another ordered.
Because you did not want to have to collect the card from the branch - another lengthy trip for you - this new card is to be sent to your UK home address.
As for being locked out from your credit card details, this is down to discrepancies between the addresses on your current and credit card accounts. Nationwide's computer did not recognise the two accounts as belonging to the same holder, so did not display them simultaneously.
Nationwide says it has rectified this, and now you should be able to view both accounts online.
Finally - phew! - the direct debit to pay off your credit card bill has at last been reinstated. This problem arose due to the switching of the payment order from the first replacement credit card (the one that accidentally went to New Zealand) to the second.
It just took a while to catch up. Two payments to Halifax went awry in the meantime but have since been sorted out.
Your account should now be working smoothly.
Q: During the summer I purchased a house, at which time my solicitor issued a statement to clarify the balance that I needed to settle to complete the purchase. This included the deposit, legal fees, disbursements et al.
I paid the balance at the time of completion. Now, some eight weeks later, my solicitors have written to me with an amended completion statement. They are asking for a further payment of around £150.
It seems that the additional money relates to their costs for obtaining local authority searches, for which their original estimate was incorrect.
Are they entitled to come back to me requesting more money in this way?
DR, via email
A: Solicitors' charges have always been a bit of a grey area because some of the costs quoted at the outset are usually estimates, and solicitors will not know exactly how much they have to pass on in charges until they have actually undertaken the work.
However, your complaint hinges on a slightly different question - the stage at which these costs were firmed up and presented to you for payment.
The Law Society Regulation Board - soon to be renamed the Solicitors Regulation Authority - says that the final figures should certainly be clear by the time you receive your completion statement.
It therefore looks as if your solicitor might have missed his chance to adjust his charges if he got his sums wrong, and you could have grounds for a complaint if he tries to come after you with an extra bill as an afterthought.
Go back to the firm involved and take the matter up with the person authorised to handle complaints. All solicitors' firms have to have a complaints handling procedure.
If the problem is not dealt with to your satisfaction, your next port of call should be the Law Society's consumer complaints service.
