Manage Your Fantasy Buffet: The tier approach to draft management

I love buffets! I walk in and a huge smile can't help but be plastered all over my face. I especially love the Multi-Plex buffets. You know the type: five different sections with three food tables in each section. Yep, 15 troughs of gastronomical delights. One can look at drafts in much the same way. Running backs, the meat of [read more...]

2008 Fantasy Football Sleepers and Value Picks Volume 1

Here's something to help get your wheels turning in preparation for your fantasy football draft. After devouring every podcast, scanning the mock draft results over on Fantasy Football Calculator's ADP tool and reading piece after piece of fantasy football information over the past few weeks, I have started to compile a list of players who I - and other people [read more...]

NFC South Offensive Lines: Looking For A Few Good Linemen

This could be the weakest division of linemen in the conference. With all four teams ranking in the second half of the conference, three in the lower third, there is much work to be done. But with strong offensive coaching from Jon Gruden in Tampa Bay and Sean Payton in New Orleans there is hope these units can produce. Carolina Panthers [read more...]

NFC North Offensive Lines: Vikings Stake Claim To Top Spot

The Minnesota Vikings may have made a big splash in the offseason by acquiring defensive lineman Jared Allen from Kansas City, but the team's biggest asset is on the offensive side of the ball.

NFC West Offensive Lines: Staying Healthy Key To Success

This division lacks a little up front, and the effort trickles down from there. Subpar efforts and lack of healthy players on the line and in the backfield have created an uphill battle for these West Coast teams. That said, Seattle and St. Louis have been the most successful teams from this division, and that success is tied to the [read more...]

AFC South Offensive Lines: Not All O-lines Are Created Equal

The Jacksonville offensive line is mean, and sets the tone for its offensive. In Indianapolis, the Peyton Manning-led Colts thrive on the quick thinking of their quarterback. Either way, both offensive lines produce great results with completely different formulas. Moral to the story. It might not matter how you win as long as you find a way to win. Expect [read more...]

Can Home Field Advantage Boost NFL Fantasy Stats?

When you look at the advantages of playing in front of the home crowd, the numbers clearly support it makes a difference. In 2007, home teams won 38 more times than they lost. And 21 of the 32 teams were .500 or better at home. In a previous post, it was suggested that formula translates to success in fantasy leagues [read more...]

My Cleveland Browns Helmet Got a Makover

Here is a post that has nothing to do with fantasy football. It is more of a trip down memory lane. A shining example of how ingrained the NFL is in my life history. In the comments section of yesterdays post “Don’t Hurt Your Fantasy Football Team by Being a Die hard Fan,” it was brought to my attention that fellow [read more...]
