I’ve never been one to draft a QB high and stand by that decision as a solid fantasy sports tip.  Given the fact that each week there are usually more QB’s as the top point earners on the waiver wire than any other position.  The reason is that most teams need only one or maybe two QB’s (one for a bye week).  This means if you are in a 12 man league, than there would still be at least 10 starting QB’s on the wire for any given week.  QB’s don’t share throws and they don’t have to fight for receptions, so basically any QB on any given week could produce good numbers. The key is to look at the match-ups and determine which one will have an easier time.  The fact that every year there is always at least one QB taken in the first round is mind blowing.  Granted, Tom Brady’s numbers last year were out of this world, and in fact, was the greatest single football season for a QB, but no one can expect that every year.

If you are like me, you have Reggie Bush in one of your fantasy leagues.  Being one of the top producing Fantasy Football RB this year, it would be quite a blow to any team owner so either may or may not have an adequate backup that would be a solid play week in and week out.  However, there may be some good options out there right now that could help so up your team in this current situation.  Let’s break down some possible available plays and pick-ups given the state of the NFL without Reggie Bush.

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a live NFL football game. It’s not that I wouldn’t buy tickets for a NFL football game. It’s not that I wouldn’t mind going either, but living in Orange County, CA limits my choices. I have to drive or fly 2 hours to see any NFL teams, and being as they are not local it takes some of the spirit out of rooting for them. I have to wonder why the NFL hasn’t stepped up to one of the many proposals on the table in bringing a team to the Los Angeles area, but I guess it doesn’t surprise me.

Almost halfway through the season, and as I watch the Broncos get owned, I had a thought…..never under estimate the the bad teams from last year.  Any team, can beat any other team, on any given day. Question is; Did these guys bring their bollocks to the field tonight or not? I found this post and it shows a perfect example of what I’m talking about.  (http://www.nflgridirongab.com/2008/08/27/potential-sleeper-and-disappointment-teams-in-2008/)

These days it’s pretty hard to find someone that isn’t playing fantasy football and participating in fantasy football leagues.  There are many ways to play, and lots of sites to use to get information, scores, updates, and even play a few games.  However, each game play has different rules, stats, and points, so it’s important to know not only what game you are playing, but what stats and points count for that league.

We’ll break down some of the various fantasy football options, as well as the considerations for each one.  The reason is that depending on what points or stats the fantasy game is using, the players and teams can look quite differently. Read the rest of this entry »

The hell with projections.  I say TRUST YOUR GUT and YOUR BRAIN.  Projections are BS.  They are nothing more than a conglomeration of mathematical stats of the past, which can not predict the future.  There are many times when players had high or low projections and ended up with something different.  A computer can’t analyze a team’s passion or loss of morale.  It can’t predict possible injuries.  Moreover, it can’t compensate for unforeseen circumstances.  However, you can.  Read the rest of this entry »

Why do you never win in fantasy league?  I like the NINERS every freaking week….. Get your act together and follow these guidelines.

RULES

1. Good players from good teams

This is one of my number one rules because it can be the difference between your team winning or losing this upcoming season. Focus on trying to get the best available players from the teams that you think have the best offense. By trying to avoid players on the teams with offenses that you think are not very good, you will be saving yourself some anxiety down the road. The Chicago Bears for example, have a crappy offense Read the rest of this entry »
