http://youtu.be/8gHLsT49NyQ I’m late to the party, but Lance Zierlein of The Sideline View hosted this Google+ Hangout with two of the great minds in fantasy football, Sigmund Bloom and Matt Waldman, to discuss the most overrated and underrated players as we close out the 2012 fantasy football draft season.

Takeaways from the 2011 Fantasy Football Season
I pity the fool that doesn’t learn from his past mistakes, and 2011 broke a few of the fantasy football molds. No Peyton Manning. The Texans made the playoffs. Rex Grossman is good? Okay…for a few weeks, he was good. And let’s not forget Reggie Bush was a feature back, and Cam Newton was a…… Continue reading Takeaways from the 2011 Fantasy Football Season
Why I Would Draft Jimmy Graham Over Rob Gronkowski
Those of you who follow me on Twitter have probably seen my running commentary on all of the ESPN Fantasy Football Roundtable discussions. Many of ESPN’s Roundtables are pretty straightforward and were easy to discuss in just the 140 characters that Twitter allows, but a few are worthy of meatier discussion. That’s what I’d like to…… Continue reading Why I Would Draft Jimmy Graham Over Rob Gronkowski
Evaluating Your Team’s Playoff Chances Before Fantasy Football Season
I just finished a draft this week and after rosterbating to the obvious championship quality of my lineup for the past several days, I needed something more. I could get no more satisfaction without the endorsement of a neutral third party. I see people ask “How does my team look?” all the time. Some people…… Continue reading Evaluating Your Team’s Playoff Chances Before Fantasy Football Season
My Much-Too-Late 2011 Fantasy Football Sleepers and Value Picks List
I’ve been a slacker this season when it comes to posting my sleepers and value picks. I tweeted about quite a few of them throughout the offseason and preseason, but if you weren’t following me there, you might have missed out. On the plus side, the majority of my true sleepers are low on the…… Continue reading My Much-Too-Late 2011 Fantasy Football Sleepers and Value Picks List
How to Tier Your Player Rankings for a Fantasy Football Draft Day Cheatsheet
Tiering your cheatsheet is, in my opinion, the most critical of all draft day preparations you can make before your fantasy football season. Sure, you can read injury reports all day long. That helps. No one wants to draft a guy on IR. But the real edge to draft a better team than the other obsessive…… Continue reading How to Tier Your Player Rankings for a Fantasy Football Draft Day Cheatsheet
Friends don’t let friends draft Ben Tate
It happens in almost every draft. It’s the magazine curse. Some league member — let’s call him Pete — is convinced that Ben Tate is going to be the next superstar after they read a profile of him that was written in June. Pete is excited. Pete gets busy with other things until draft day.…… Continue reading Friends don’t let friends draft Ben Tate
Ted Ginn: This is why you can’t have nice things
As if you needed a two-minute explanation of why you should never trust Ted Ginn Jr. as a fantasy football wideout, here you are. Please cover the eyes of any young children in the room. http://youtu.be/ZYSxJgjjJFc via Pro Football Talk Yeah, it’s really that bad. Do not draft, people. Do not draft. Ginn’s own hands…… Continue reading Ted Ginn: This is why you can’t have nice things
Fourth & 1 Debate: How to avoid fantasy disappointments next season
Ah, the sadness comes in larger puddles of tears every week as we approach the fantasy playoffs. That first-round pick sure screwed you, didn’t he? But how, oh how, do you keep it from happening again next year? (Like it always does?) Last week’s fantasy football roundtable covered that and covered it well. The question:…… Continue reading Fourth & 1 Debate: How to avoid fantasy disappointments next season
Foolish Thoughts: Are you ready for some football?
The final weekend of the preseason might be the worst week as an NFL fan. Starters play only a few minutes while coaches get a look at the rest of the depth chart to make final cuts, and we all know that in just one more week the games will actually mean something. While the…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts: Are you ready for some football?
