I usually leave the "top links" posts to the good fellows at RotoNation and Fantasy Sports 2.0, but here are two articles that I think were specifically great at speaking about the current state of the fantasy sports industry:

Making It to the Major League of Fantasy Sports, New York Times.
Interview with Chris Russo of Fantasy Sports Ventures (who recently sealed a nice content deal with USA Today): 
"Fantasy sports combines games, sports and community — three of the most powerful drivers on the Web, rolled into one."

Fantasy sports have hit a wall. Now the real fun starts, ESPN the Magazine.
Peter Keating's view of the maturation of the Fantasy Sports industry and where it's headed: "Fantasy sports will soon cover every kind of competition imaginable."

Another "real" blog post coming soon!
