It's time again for the most important weekly feature on the Internet: Fantasy Fantasy Football. Throughout the NFL season, we'll be evaluating five fantasy football gurus as they tell us who to start and sit each week. Using a highly flawed method based loosely on mathematical principles, we'll attempt to reveal the one true football prophet. (Here's how it works: A pick counts in their favor if he ends up in the top half of the weekly scoring leaders. There are four categories -- QBs, RBs, WRs, Defense/Special Teams -- and points are awarded on a 5-1 scale in each.) The experts are:

Fantasy Fantasy Football: A Look at the Experts' Week 1 Picks

"Don't trust anyone."

I've received that advice from more than a few of people in my life. My father would even add an extra "including me!" right before he snatched my allowance and raced to his car. It's gotten to the point that I'm even suspicious of innocent conversations. These days, I choose to spend my time peering through the blinds of a window and scowling at strangers.

But there's one thing even I can trust: numbers. Numbers never lie. They prepare you for life's difficult decisions. For instance: When you're thinking of dating someone, know the average length of his or her previous relationships. Before you agree to buy candy from an enterprising child, analyze the candy bar company's expense reports to determine the real worth of the cause. If a friend needs help moving furniture, calculate the money you'd lose by volunteering, along with the probability of injury, and compare that to what you'd make staying home and selling an "antique" on eBay.

And friends, before you go adjusting your fantasy football roster on the advice of a man from the Internet, know his track record!
