There are hundreds of places that fantasy football players can get their information from. Sara Holladay has made a name for herself as the Fantasy Football Librarian by helping fantasy players dig out what are the most interesting and relevant articles. With an almost encyclopedic knowledge of everything that is written, Holladay has proven that she is quite the fantasy football player herself when she won the Buffalo Wild Wings Fantasy Football All-Star Bloggers league and a trip to the Super Bowl. I recently got to ask Holladay a few questions:

How did you get involved in fantasy football?
Back in 2004 my husband was looking for an extra person to play in one of his leagues and since I loved college football, I figured it was worth a try. Didn’t take long before I got addicted and suddenly knew a ton about both the NFL and fantasy football.

What is the worst move you ever made as a fantasy football owner?
Worst move I’ve ever made…man, that’s a tough one. I’ve made my fair share of bad moves but I think one that comes to mind, in part thanks to how recent it was, was grabbing LaDainian Tomlinson with the 7th overall pick in a draft this past year. I just wasn’t ready to believe that he was on his way out, and yet I should have paid attention to historical clues about how quickly older RBs can drop off. So right now, LT is feeling kind of raw.

Best piece of advice you ever received about fantasy football?
Best piece of advice has probably been to avoid grabbing players from your real life favorite team. I’m a Broncos fan so the ups and downs are harsh enough – no need to get too wrapped up in the Broncos from a fantasy perspective, too. That said, I still take Broncos if they’re the best value at that point of the draft. I just try to separate my fandom from my fantasy world.

So, who is the better fantasy player, you or your husband?
That all depends on who you ask – I’d say me, I did win us a trip to the Super Bowl in the Buffalo Wild Wings All-Star Blogger League. Meanwhile he would argue that he won 2 of the 3 leagues that we played in together…but then I’d just remind him of all the draft help and weekly advice I gave him. I don’t think either one of us will concede any time soon. Fortunately it’s clearly a friendly household battle.

What’s been your favorite part about becoming a fantasy football expert?
Maybe just getting to own that phrase? I think it’s a combo of having people trust me with their big weekly decisions, but also having the opportunity to network with other FF writers. Both of those are pretty good highs.

Do you ever feel like everyone is gunning for you in your leagues now that you own it?
Yes, there are a few friends that are gunning for me a bit more in leagues, but I love a good competition so I welcome it. Plus they’re the same guys that will happily enjoy a beer with me and talk draft prep for hours – that’s a welcome trade-off.

What do you think is the next big thing in fantasy football?
I think more and more leagues will include individual defensive players, which adds an added layer of complexity. But based on the number of sites that are coming out with daily games and games based on historical players, I think the field is really wide open for fantasy sports. Mainstream players will probably stick with traditional leagues, but there’s a good chance that those new to fantasy sports or just who haven’t played say fantasy baseball or hockey before will turn to some of the daily games first.

Thanks again, Sara, for your time, and good luck defending your title in 2010!
