The term “sleeper” signifies many things, including a hibernating bear, Uncle Gus after Thanksgiving, the nerdy chick that is a makeover away from hotness, and a player that could see significantly increased Fantasy value compared to last season, making him one of a few 2012 Fantasy sleepers. We’re going to talk about hot nerdy chicks! …
You knew it was too good to be true. Marshawn Lynch’s arrest on suspicion of a DUI Saturday just screwed up the first two rounds of Fantasy drafts – and training camps haven’t even started yet. A possible Marshawn Lynch suspension just threw a wrench in our midsummer Fantasy plans. I need a drink. Now …
500 pennies can change your Fantasy draft strategy for the better. I promise. So simple, yet so underutilized. Don’t draft your quarterback early – yet more than three-quarters of us do it every year. Hell, I did it last week, taking Cam Newton with the 3.01 pick in a writers’ mock draft. For Last week, …
In the first part of this look at when you should draft Calvin Johnson, we examined his 2011 season a little closer. We found that while he was great overall, he had some weak spots in the middle of the season. Were those weak spots enough to scare us away from drafting him in the …
It would be a mistake for us not to value Calvin Johnson as the best receiver in Fantasy Football. After all, he was a solid 44 pointsbetter than the second-best receiver last season, using standard scoring. And there’s a reason his nickname is Megatron: his body of work is out of this world. But let’s …
I took part in another Fantasy Football writer’s league mock draft this week, this time as part of the RotoExperts group. This 2012 Mock Draft team came out pretty good, in my opinion, although I had to practice what I preach in the early going. (The draft is part of the RotoExperts.com 2012 NFL Xclusive …
Opening arguments: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, all summer, I’ve been admonishing the masses against taking Arian Foster first overall. But in my recent mock drafts, I’ve never had to practice what I preach – until Monday night in a MyFantasyLeague.com mock draft. I had to go ahead and take Ray Rice first overall …
How do you know you’ve just eaten the best stadium food ever? Have you ever taken a bite of freedom? Have you ever heard the Vienna Boys Choir singing in your head while you chewed ballpark food? When was the last time you bit into something and your teeth cheered? Well, that happened to me …
Fantasy Football owners that take their trade seriously understand the correlation between 2012 Fantasy player values to 2012 Offensive Line Rankings. A good running back usually only is as good as his offensive line allows (unlike what Barry Sanders’ career tells you). So I did some digging and found three sites that did lots of …
In the first two parts of this RB dropoffs series, we discussed when to expect a RB dropoff to occur, and we highlighted the dropoff numbers for Fantasy RBs from the 1990s and 2000s. We have made it to part three and it is now time to examine the running backs currently in the league. …
I love a good infographic -- especially ones that talk about beer or football! But this one I thought was pretty clever of the folks at CreditScore.net. Although, I do have a few comments about their ... comments. History: Much like Fantasy Baseball, the history of Fantasy Football's creation is pretty debated. I'm fine with their …
In an effort to dissect the world of Fantasy running backs, I will be writing a four-part series on how the position has been used over the past three decades. I will look at when feature running backs start their decline and if there is a “career carries” threshold, besides just age, that could predict …
