The Top Five Picks, Why What and When
Having one of the top picks in your fantasy football draft is a privilege, not a right. This season having the first pick seems to be a more difficult decision than falling at the number two spot. But with names out there such as Adrian Peterson, Chris Johnson, Drew Brees and Maurice Jones-Drew, many people [...]
7 Top Wide Receivers To Target After Round 10
This season is the year of the wide receiver. There is less substantial depth than at any other position, so finding talent late may well be key to your team’s success or demise in 2010. Every draft season there are anomalies, and 2010 is no different. The seven WR’s below are all number one receivers [...]
Fantasy Football Sleeper: Cleveland Defense
With an ADP of 26 among team defenses (341st overall), the Browns are getting no respect whatsoever. This despite ending the 2009 season tied for 11th in fantasy defense scoring, which included 40 sacks (good for 8th best in the league). More impressive, they did all this without their top defensive player, D’Qwell Jackson. Jackson [...]
Fantasy Football Over/Under: Team Defense
Despite the admonitions of fantasy experts against taking a team defense early in drafts, there seems to be a trend this season of doing just that. The question is, are you going to be the twit that overpays for a team defense when a perfectly acceptable, if not better, alternative can be found 10 rounds [...]
Fantasy Football Sleeper Devin Aromashodu
Every year, there are a handful of receivers that land in the right situation and put up unexpectedly-enormous numbers. This year, there might be a hidden gem in Chicago. With Mike Martz bringing his up-tempo, happy-chucking offense to the Windy City and the arm of Jay Cutler, the 2010 Bears could be a more wide open offense than [...]
Favre From Over: Retirement Talk May Be Overblown
This morning the sports media outlets have all jumped on the Favre retirement bandwagon. And at the outset it seems it might be true. I’m not so sure it is. According to the Biloxi Sun Herald, a family source said this afternoon that Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre has made no decision regarding a 20th season [...]
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 [...]
Chicago Bears Fantasy Projections
In consecutive offseasons, the Chicago Bears have made dramatic moves that stand in contrast to nearly the entire history of one of the NFL’s original franchises. Last year, they made the blockbuster trade to add QB Jay Cutler, and this summer they blew the doors off Halas Hall by blowing ridiculous coin on All Pro DE Julius [...]
Fantasy Football IDP Over/Under: Defensive Linemen
In fantasy sports we talk a lot about “Sleepers and Busts,” but more often than not, what we are talking about are players who are either overvalued or undervalued. Guys who are being drafted too soon or too late in drafts relative to their likely fantasy production. Welcome to the first in our preseason over [...]
Fantasy Football Sleeper Chester Taylor
Chester Taylor has always had some median value in PPR (points per reception) leagues, as a pass-catching option out of the backfield for the Minnesota Vikings. He was targeted by Brett Favre 59 times in 2010, and turned that into 44 receptions. That’s a respectable 75% conversion ratio. Alas he had only two touchdowns to [...]
Cincinnati Bengals Cedric Benson Arrested – Fantasy Implications
UPDATE: Cedric Benson has hired attorney David Cornwell, who also represented Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger. Another day, and another black eye for the NFL. This time the trouble takes the form of Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson. Benson who had his share of troubles while with the Chicago Bears seemed to have calmed down [...]
New England Patriots Fantasy Projections
In 2009, a lot of excuses were made for the Patriots failing to make it deep into the playoffs. There was Tom’s knee, Wes’s knee, Randy’s beard, Gisele Bundchen (understandable), and Maroney’s impeccable ball security (yes, that’s sarcasm), but in 2010 no amount of excuses will suffice. The Patriots are as talented as ever and [...]
Buffalo Bills Fantasy Projections
Well, where to begin with the neglected and forgotten basement dwellers of the AFC East. In 2009 they struggled on offense, defense, special teams, cheerleading, stadium vendoring, etc. The Bills offseason needs were numerous and remained primarily unaddressed through both the draft and free agency, as if they are trying to slip into obscurity before [...]
