2010 Fantasy Football Rankings
Top 10 IDP KR/PR Return Specialists
As we discussed in my offense return specialist rankings, more leagues have begun to use return yardage as another scoring category. The value of this added stat is based largely on the points allotted by yardage, with 1 point per 25 yards being the standard, and more aggressive leagues using as much as 1 point [...]
Many Happy Returns: Ranking The Top 20 2010 KR/PR Specialists
More and more fantasy football leagues are extending their scoring to include return yardage. Guys like Joshua Cribbs, Darren Sproles and Percy Harvin make kick returns exciting things to watch. This added element lends another point of fantasy strategy. Depending on how many points your leagues gives per return yards there are some names you [...]
2010 NFL Strength of Schedule and Bye Weeks
While the relative value of a team’s strength of schedule is marginal for fantasy purposes, it’s still one more weapon to have in an fantasy owners draft arsenal. Below are the rankings from the teams with the most difficult schedules in 2010 (Titans and Texans) to those with the easiest (the NFC West). How does [...]
Fantasy Analysis: 2010 Offensive Line Rankings
Believe it or not there is one player in fantasy football even less respected than the kicker, and that’s the offensive line. Though we do not draft these gridiron warriors, their impact on our fantasy teams may be a revelation for some. Most fantasy owners have no clue which teams boast the best offensive lines [...]
2010 Fantasy Football TE Rankings
UPDATED: September 6, 2010 The tight end position is almost as obnoxious as that of the lonesome kicker. Every team needs at least one and there are only a few premium TEs to grab. After that it’s all about hope and upside. For that reason, many fantasy owners will blow an early draft pick going [...]
2010 Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings
The first thing I learned when I started playing fantasy football years ago was, draft running backs with your first two picks, and don’t grab a kicker until the last round. I did as I was told until I’d been around long enough to figure things out on my own. As we’ve seen in recent [...]
2010 Fantasy Football Team Defense Rankings
UPDATED: September 6, 2010 Every year brings new surprises in fantasy production at all positions but especially for team defenses. It’s hard to gauge how strength of schedule, scheme changes, or player performance will ultimately impact the team’s defensive cohesiveness. In 2007, the San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots were the dominating team defenses. [...]
2010 Fantasy Football WR Rankings
UPDATED: September 6, 2010 Perhaps no position in fantasy football has had more attrition in the last couple of years than wide receiver. Other than a couple of names at the top, some of the biggest, Terrell Owens, Torry Holt, are all but gone, while other big names like Randy Moss and Steve Smith (CAR) [...]
2010 Fantasy Football RB Rankings
UPDATED: September 3, 2010 Of all the various positions we rank, the running back spot is arguably the hardest to predict this early. Especially in this era of RBBC (running back by committee) scenarios. We have several new rookie RB’s who stand a real chance to explode with fantasy value from game one this year, [...]
2010 Fantasy Football QB Rankings
Updated: August 24, 2010 A couple of months ago I got this wild idea to do redraft and dynasty rankings, and since then it’s occurred to me that most people get the basic idea that younger up and coming QBs (or players at any position) move up a bit in keeper/dynasty rankings. So rather than [...]
2010 IDP Defensive Back Rankings
UPDATED: August 30, 2010 The Defensive Back position is the most difficult Individual Defensive Player (IDP) spot to draft for. The consistency at this position is almost nonexistent. Each season the top 10 performers will likely have an 80% turnover. In 2008, Eric Weddle exploded and was pegged as the top DB pick going into [...]
2010 IDP Defensive Lineman Rankings
UPDATED: August 24, 2010 The Defensive Lineman position is the shallowest Individual Defensive Player (IDP) spot to draft for. While there is a fair amount of consistency at this position year to year (this year’s Top 5 is basically the same as last year’s), the position depth is quite limited. That fact alone may be [...]
2010 IDP Linebacker Rankings
UPDATED: September 5, 2010 The Linebacker position is the easiest Individual Defensive Player (IDP) spot to draft for. There is more consistency at the position than Defensive Back, and greater depth than Defensive Lineman. And more so than the other two positions, stud rookie Linebackers tend to surface each season like Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, [...]
