Pre-season player rankings will only take you so far. We all know the projections that fantasy sites, blogs and magazines create will end up being wrong. There are, and will always be, players that break out. And, on the flip side, whether it’s due to injury or poor play, there will always be players that […]
I’m man enough to admit it. Christian Ponder is my starting quarterback. But it’s a 16-team league, and there are about 30 quarterbacks owned throughout it. I made the mistake thinking I could bank on Russell Wilson late in the draft. In round 11, where I had hoped to get Wilson, there were ten quarterbacks […]
They’re like a steak from Applebee’s. They’re like a girl with a man-voice. They’re like a bathroom after someone went “number 2” in it. They’re like used needles. They’re like conversations about Tim Tebow. They’re like the show Toddlers and Tiaras. They’re like a MySpace investment. They’re like the kid who talks about philosophy at […]
The question mark in running back Chris Johnson’s new(ish) nickname makes sense. Nobody knows. Once known as CJ2K after rushing for over 2,000 yards in 2009, Chris Johnson has been dubbed CJ?K after failing to perform in 2011. But is it fair? Should we really be this low on a player who once achieved such […]
The concern over drafting a running back in the first round is rising. With the injury to Ryan Mathews, the knee problems with Trent Richardson and the off-the-field concerns with Marshawn Lynch…we’re scared. We don’t want to draft a player that’s not going to produce first round numbers. However, we tend to forget that every […]
Could you imagine going to the grocery store for a gallon of milk, and paying a couple of extra bucks just for the heck of it? The price tag says “$3.50”, but you just say, “hey, I’m going to pay an extra dollar for this” when you get to the checkout line. Or let’s say […]
In New England, BenJarvus Green-Ellis made a fantasy football living off of touchdowns. In 2010, he ranked second among running backs with 13 scores, and last season, The Law Firm’s 11 touchdowns were good for 6th best. Yet, over these two seasons, BJGE has ranked as the 15th and 24th best running back in fantasy […]
The year was 2003. Peyton Manning was the second best fantasy quarterback, sandwiched between Daunte Culpepper and Trent Green. Priest Holmes and Ahman Green dominated the running back landscape, with Stephen Davis and Moe Williams rounding out the top-12 at the position. And at tight end, only Tony Gonzalez was able to beat out Shannon […]
Last season, Larry Fitzgerald caught 80 balls for 1,411 yards and 8 touchdowns. Kevin Kolb and John Skelton were his quarterbacks. Coming into 2012, Fitz has the same guys throwing him the ball. But with little changing, many are pushing him down their pre-season rankings because “his quarterbacks are bad.” Am I missing something? The […]
We spend way too much time agonizing over our early-round draft selections. The fact is, nearly everyone in your league will have similar rankings at the top end of the draft. And sure, you can say “I’m going to avoid Chris Johnson at all costs,” but at the end of the day, what really differentiates […]
