I just deposited $25 in draft kings to get Phil Steeles college weekly reports for free. I have been interested in playing in some fantasy leagues for a while but have no clue what am I doing. Is there a decent resource I can consult for advice on heads up play? I am going to keep my buy-ins at the minimum because I am sure I will make a lot of mistakes starting out.

[h=1]DeMarco Murray goes No. 1 in fantasy mock re-draft[/h]
Unfortunately there's no way for you to go back in time and do it all again. But we have the luxury of going back and taking our new knowledge and putting it toward a new fantasy mock draft. Pay no attention to those mock drafts you read in August. Here's how our fantasy draft would go if we had a chance to do it all again today.
[h=3]Round 1[/h]
<!-- width: / --><!-- width empty -->
<!-- width: 384 --><!-- height: 216 -->1. DeMarco Murray, RB, Dallas Cowboys: We entered the season believing the Cowboys were going to be a pass-happy outfit. Yet they currently boast the leading rusher in the NFL. Murray has still dealt with fumbling issues, but his ability to pick up yardage in chunks and find his way into the end zone has made many of those fears moot. Right now, Murray's success has mirrored Dallas'. As long as that continues, the Cowboys runner will see plenty of work.
2. Marshawn Lynch, RB, Seattle Seahawks: Rumors of Lynch's demise were greatly exaggerated. While the Seahawks have sprinkled in a little more Robert Turbin early in the season, BeastMode has still been strong through the start of the season. What's more is that he's on pace for 42 receptions, which would be second-most in his career. As long as Seattle continues to use Lynch judiciously, he should remain strong for the bulk of the season.
3. Giovani Bernard, RB, Cincinnati Bengals: Bernard has been the perfect fit for offensive coordinator Hue Jackson's scheme, thanks to his dual-threat ability as a rusher and receiver. Through his first three games, Bernard is averaging better than 110 scrimmage yards and has scored three touchdowns. Even the addition of Jeremy Hill as a short-yardage hammer hasn't stopped the second-year back from excelling. Thoughts of a sophomore slump for Bernard have been mostly erased by his hot start.
<!-- width: / --><!-- width empty -->
<!-- width: 384 --><!-- height: 216 -->4. Andrew Luck, QB, Indianapolis Colts: Most people certainly expected good things from Luck heading into 2014, but few would have imagined the Colts' signal-caller being this outstanding. Luck has accounted for three or more touchdowns in each of his first four games this season and is leading one of the NFL's most dynamic offenses. With a full complement of weapons surrounding him, Luck is poised to make a serious run at a top three finish among all fantasy players.
5. Matt Ryan, QB, Atlanta Falcons: It's amazing the difference that having healthy receivers can make. With Julio Jones back in action and Roddy White looking healthier, Matty Ice has been on fire. Even the loss of Tony Gonzalez to retirement has been mitigated by the addition of Devin Hester as a productive third receiving option. A multi-pronged rushing attack might not be ideal for fantasy owners, but it should be enough to keep defenses honest and allow Ryan and the Falcons' passing game to rise up and produce.
