    Baltimore OL Injuries, Avoid 'Em All?

    They just lost LG Alex Lewis for the year, now losing 3 projected starters for the year. Are you avoiding the RBs? Avoiding Flacco/WRs? When do the injuries hamper the OL enough to avoid?

    High Ceiling/High Upside Rosters? Worth the risks?

    Always love reading Ryan Hester's High Floors vs. High Ceilings articles every year and I know the optimal mix is of both high floors and high ceilings. With all the discussion about value based drafting and ADP and such, has anybody had success with going purely high ceiling or high upside...

    Swing For the Fences: 5 Deep Redraft PPR WR Sleepers

    A lot of times we're all hitting the late rounds wondering which WRs to target whether they be safer floors or potentially high ceilings. These are my home run/swing for the fences sleepers. Cole Beasley - Dallas Cowboys (ADP - 171, 60th WR). Has steadily seen his role grow in Dallas' system...

    Carolina OL Impact on Fantasy Production?

    A lot of us have noted and in many cases, laughed/mocked the fact that Carolina has "no wide receivers" after they let Steve Smith go and then subsequently drafted Kelvin Benjamin. Something that's quietly gone under the radar IMO is the fact that they have lost 4! of their 2013 Starters on the...

    DTBC/WW D Week 1: Who You Rolling With?

    Just curious what owners are doing now that we are about 2 weeks away from opening weekend. Plan to play the WW in one league and am currently scheduling Indy vs. Oakland. I think Oakland has potential to turn the ball over multiple times and not score more than 13-14 points.

    WR Devery Henderson OUT (New Orleans Saints)

    Reportedly, WR Joe Morgan will get more reps as a result. Does this impact the Saints O at all? Do any players ala Lance Moore have a chance at a much bigger week now?

    Viewing the Indianapolis Colts Offense

    The Colts were simply awful last season offensively, largely leaning on QBs Curtis Painter and Dan Orlovsky. Now they have a new head coach in Chuck Pagano and a new OC in Bruce Arians. Along with those changes, they drafted QB Andrew Luck alongside TEs Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen. Both TEs...

    Strength of Sched Effect Last Year?

    I was looking at RB Fred Jackson and noticed that his SOS was not that bad for Run D, mostly toughened by teams like the NY Jets, Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Chicago Bears. He had moderate totals in several games but is "supposed" to have one of the tougher SOS' this coming 2011...

    What Does A RBBC Mean To You?

    In perusing the board for a few years now, I've seen the rise of the term "®unning (B)ack (B)y ©ommittee" and several posters mention that it is on the rise or is likely featured in roughly 70-80% of teams. In prominent discussions about rookies, RB roles, and contract offers I've also seen...

    What makes a player a sell high vs. buy low candidate?

    I've always been curious but what makes a player a sell high case compared to a buy low case? I think there are a handful of options but I'm curious how other owners perceive those options in terms of what matters and what doesn't. I see the term thrown around how Player X is a buy low at this...

    The Weight Gain or Weight Loss Thread For Players

    See Post #43 for 2011 List thus far. Thought this would be a good idea for a post as many FF players are looking for any edge. One thing I've noticed that seems to be underutilized is when a player gains or loses weight during the offseason to improve their overall power or speed/explosion in...

    Strategy Question

    Thinking of testing this process out in a H2H league I'm in and was curious to see the reactions of others. Has anybody tried to play a position using home/road splits only (i.e. a better hitter with a home game starts over the weaker hitter on the road and vice versa)? I was looking at 2B as...

    Is the NFL More Pass Happy Now?

    I was curious if the NFL has really become as pass happy as it seems when we're watching on TV (especially with the rise of completion percent and pass attempts). Since 1980, the NFL has consistently averaged 31-34 pass attempts a game per team. Since 1990, the NFL has consistently averaged...

    NFL Draft and Size

    I was looking at past NFL Combines and started thinking about player size. Often times we see many comments about how a player is a bit undersized or needs to gain weight to make an impact in the NFL. As fantasy owners, should we look at players with an expectation that most will gain weight...

    Chiefs Homers: Tyler Thigpen For Real?

    Looking over his stats, I was really surprised considering he was drafted in Round 7 (Minnesota) and came out of a I-AA school in Coastal Carolina. From Week 8 on his numbers were: 192/330 (58.2%) for 2216 yards (6.72 YPA) with 16 TD vs. 8 INT. He also had 53 carries for 325 yards (6.13)...

    Packers sign Ben Taylor and Poppinga News

    http://www.packersnews.com/archives/news/pack_25320647.shtml No news on where Ben Taylor will play although Nick Barnett has locked up the MLB spot. Also Brady Poppinga (SLB) could miss all of training camp and may not be ready for the regular season. Taylor could be a very good sleeper if he...

    Updated changes in defensive positions?

    Hey, I was wondering if we could get a thread going to update on the potential/confirmed changes in DL, LB, or DB situations for teams throughout the offseason. We've already seen several moves creating possible shakeups and I think this would help players who are having Keeper/Dynasty drafts...
