Having fantasy football analysts star-struck shouldn’t be a surprise given our current obsession with celebrity in our TMZ-driven world. But it was kind of shocking to hear fellow NFL.com gurus Michael Fabiano and Bucky Brooks trumpet some falling stars during our Fantasy Friday taping this week.

There were a lot of teams with “open for business” signs on their front doors, teams at the bottom of the standings, but only one deal was done Tuesday at the league’s trading deadline.

The Rams introduced Steve Spagnuolo as their new head coach on Monday, signaling the start of a new era in St. Louis.
