The Layers of Dynasty Fantasy Football Depending on the size of your fantasy roster, you have to decide how to distribute your players. I have a theory on layers and I’ll show them off for my particular fantasy team. Here’s the idea. You have to keep your team going in waves. You have the older [...]
Ask Your Fantasy Football Expert: Mark Rockwell of DLF
"I absolutely love watching AP. Greatest RB I’ve ever seen live. Elite for 1-2 more years. No way should he be 1st overall in dynasty drafts" Are there a lot of Pittsburgh Steelers fans who have Twitter avatars and backgrounds that feature another NFL team? Mark Rockwell does. When I sent my initial set of [...]
Ask Your Fantasy Football Expert: Charles Murphy of Football Dot Com
"Gillislee is talented but is the equivalent of a less athletic David Wilson, not a player I would pay a premium price for FWIW." I have a nice group of fellow writers at the new site Football.com, but only one has so far gone uninterviewed. That would be Charlie Murphy, who goes by @thatmurph on [...]
Fantasy Files: Rookie Draft Post Mortem Part Deux
Let’s continue with the draft recap, shall we? Here’s Part One in case you haven’t read it. I’m going to post the tight ends and individual defensive players selected in this year’s 2013 Zealots 34 rookie draft. Tight ends: 1.09 Tyler Eifert: Darn those Germans! I hoped to add to my AARP tight ends with [...]
Fantasy Files: Rookie Post Mortem
I’ll do a different style of a rookie draft post mortem. I’ll post my picks because it’s my blog, then we’ll look at the picks by position. Draft time: 1.11: Zac Stacy 2.05: Justin Hunter 2.11: Stedman Bailey 4.11: Kiko Alonso 5.11: Kerwynn Williams 6.11: Chris Thompson OK, that was fun. I’ll post the picks [...]
Fantasy Files: When to Go IDP
I have one thing about my current rookie draft, and that’s good instincts. I tried to trade up to pick 4.05 to pick up Alec Ogletree. The trade didn’t work but Ogletree went at that spot. I had a potential deal to trade my 5.11 and 6.11 for Josh Norris’s 5.05 and thought Jonathan Cyprien [...]
Fantasy Files: Rookie Draft Plans Foiled
A brief encounter on Twitter with Sigmund Bloom last night reminded me of a fantasy axiom that I had forgotten. Every player has value. I made a cheap joke at the expense of Titus Young, making him the fantasy football version of Enron stock. Bloom retorted that a savvy, or just lucky, owner could have [...]
Fantasy Files: On the Clock
I am on the clock in my Zealots 34 rookie draft, a tradition like no other. I’m stuck on who to pick, so I’ll use this post as an opportunity to expound and make my choice at the end. For people in upcoming rookie drafts, here are some links to other Zealots drafts. Most are [...]
Fantasy Files: QB Class of 2013
After I finish my 40 minutes or so on the elliptical (sorry, no Jesus/50 Shades gal, much to Matt Rittle’s chagrin), I have a clarity of mind that could be dangerous. Let’s see what I said today into my little iPhone recorder. I was listening to the Rich Eisen podcast, which I don’t always do [...]
Ask Your Fantasy Football Expert: Nick Mensio of Rotoworld
"I’ve spent far too much time reading up on JaMarcus Russell stuff tonight." Call him the Mike Glennon of Rotoworld. Nick Mensio has an unhealthy obsession with Florida State University, Jared Cook, Chris Ivory and cheap beer. I asked him some questions before the draft but got stuck in a Bleacher Report hurricane so this [...]
