Over the last couple days, I’ve had a tremendous craving for a fantasy football magazine.

I made a point to avoid any magazines, or online material, as I compiled my first batch of rankings. With my lists complete except for defenses/special teams (which I may not even rank until the summer), I was ready for something to read. Something to peruse while sitting on my porch and winding down. Something to read at stoplights or while overseeing my kids at the park — my 2-year-old won’t fall off that slide while I study running backs, will he?

Alas, I couldn’t find a magazine last night, then went to Barnes & Noble today and couldn’t find one either. Am I crazy, or in past years were these out sooner? I know there were a few that would publish even before the NFL Draft — did those publications suddenly wise up?

So, no fantasy football reading over Memorial Day weekend. I’m sure the first slew of magazines will be out soon. Until then, I go searching online for rankings.
