For years,"experts" would certainly point out that quarterback is not an essential position to target on dream draft day. Merely a couple of years ago, the leading dream quarterbacks will not chalk up so much more points than the low-end QB1's. Running back was consistently the position to target. There was a large decline off from the world-class backs to the second-tier people, as well as if you pursued a big star QB as an alternative of one of the best joggers, your fantasy team was toast.
 
Nonetheless, those days may be over.
 
I took a look at all the lineups in my league last year and found some captivating statistics amongst every person's QB's as well as RB's. I evaluated the varieties based upon the six teams that made the playoffs from the 4 teams that didn't make it. All the amounts are based upon my league's racking up settings, which you may consider right here.
 
The very first thing that caught my eye was that the starting QB's of teams that made the playoffs, on average, outscored the non-playoff groups by 124.95 points over the course of the period. Where leading quarterbacks made use of to set up comparable varieties to the low-end QB1's, there is currently a striking difference between the elite as well as the below average. This is in large element due to a number of groups, such as the Packers, Saints, and also Patriots, following a new pass-happy approach that is becoming increasingly more popular in the NFL. When quarterbacks have even more chances to make plays, the top-tier comes to be more separated from the second-tier.
 
That number alone may not be extraordinarily persuasive, yet examine it to this: playoff teams' top-drafted running backs only averaged 78.52 even more points than the non-playoff groups' top-drafted backsides. In addition, 3 of 6 playoff teams (consisting of the 2 teams in the championship) stood by until the second-round to prepare their first RB, while just 1 of 4 non-playoff teams did so.
 
An additional appealing statistic came when examining groups' second-drafted operating backs. Playoff teams were in fact outscored by non-playoff groups by an average of 24.85 points. Some teams attempted to load up at RB as well as stand by to get a QB for a more desirable value in the later rounds, yet it didn't appear to work with them. It appears to make even more sense to pursue a QB earlier, and hang around to obtain a much better worth on a RB later on.
 
However if you're shedding value at RB2, where do you offset it? Well, apart from the truth that you'll be getting a ton of worth at the quarterback position, you're going to wish to dig deep into free of charge company every Tuesday. Operating back is the most vital position when it arrives to the waiver-wire. In between injuries, board techniques, as well as Mike Shanahan backfields, there are consistently free of cost agents to target. In addition to free representatives, there is way even more sleeper appeal for RB's than there is for QB's. Among the 6 playoff teams in my league, only one group started a quarterback who had not been prepared as a QB1 (Cam Newton). Nonetheless, a lot of playoff groups rode their sleeper RB's to the postseason …
 
Considering complimentary broker pickups and players prepared in the final 4 rounds (of a 17 round draft), the playoff groups' top six were Michael Shrub, Roy Helu, CJ Spiller, Willis McGahee, Pierre Thomas, as well as Beanie Wells. The non-playoff teams' top 4 were Ben Tate, Montario Hardesty, DeMarco Murray, and Jackie Battle. The non-playoff groups were outscored by an average of 68.83 points in this classification, merely 10 reduced than in the top-drafted RB group.
 
The days of waiting until the middle-rounds to prepare Matt Schaub while you pile up on your skill position players are over; you want a top-notch quarterback. This isn't really to point out that you can't take an operating back or wide receiver in the very first or next round, yet if you lose out on one of the top five or 6 QB's you're at an extreme negative aspect. I might still propose selecting among Foster, Rice, and also McCoy if you have one of the top three selections, but there's a massive drop off after those 3 as well as a deep pool of strong RB's, so taking somebody like Aaron Rodgers over a Maurice Jones-Drew type user may be the way to go.
 
In summation, make sure you obtain a world-class quarterback, also if it implies waiting a round to buy your RB1 or RB2.

NFL Quarterback Rankings

July 27, 2012 By Leave a Comment

fantasy player rankings1 NFL Quarterback Rankings

Over the last few years, the fantasy football players have seen a spell of weakening in the value of running backs.  Once considered the top priority bar-none for any scoring type.  Now with two set backs and teams relying on a platoon of runners and fewer teams relying on single backs, the top of the draft has become a landing spot for quarterbacks.

Quarterbacks are becoming harder to slot in your fantasy draft and more often than not, teams are reaching for a QB who normally would have been drafted much lower.  In the first round, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady,and Drew Brees hold spots anywhere from the fifth spot down.  The value after that has dropped considerably and some would argue that even those three being drafted mid-round first is too high.  Especially in standard scoring leagues where the QB receives 4 points for every touchdown.

It’s beyond those three that has me wondering where indeed the QB’s have gone.

Michael Vick was a consensus first round pick last year but a poor season and skepticism has him ranked as far as the 3rd round making him a high risk player in the 2nd.  Phillip Rivers lost his starting WR’s and TEAntonio Gates is starting to slide with his production and health.  Suddenly the poor season the historically  consistent Rivers last year, seems more likely to repeat than reverse.

The only QB who statistically is making a move up the ranks is Matt Stafford who many drafted in the middle rounds.  Now suddenly, Stafford is poised to become the fourth QB off the board.  In Carolina, Cam Newtonshowed a ton of potential but Newton could become this years Michael Vick.  Over-drafted with little return.  Is Cam Newton a second round fantasy draft selection?  Is he a top end 3?

The issue here is simple.  Most leagues are 12 teams leagues.  Some will be ten.  With three QB’s standing out and above all the others and fourth making a legit climb, six to eight teams will have to grab a QB early or risk having mediocre talent holding their top roster spot on Sundays head to head or point match-ups.

With Rivers, Vick, and Newton likely to garner considerations in rounds 2 and 3 which potentially could be serious reaches if/when point production rate out to the values as a 2nd or 3rd round pick.  Behind those two, the drop off is considerable.

While Peyton Manning is lining up behind center this year, concerns about the Denver offense and his health is a concern that is keeping his stock from flying up into the to rounds…and rightfully so.  Last years Super Bowl winning QB Eli Manning is still so up and down inconsistent that even his WR’s are not first look WR’s.  Truth is that despite Eli’s Super Bowl showing, his first six games last year cost teams victories and his production fantasy wise became a weekly question mark for teams wondering if they should start him.

Eli and Peyton Manning however may be the best of what is left of a weakening QB crop.  The inconsistent Tony Romo, Alex Smith, Joe Flacco, Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Schaub coming back from a season ending injury, Buffalo’s short leashed Ryan Fitzpatrick, or last years rookie sensation Andy Dalton suddenly have become the top if not only options for teams not drafting in a QB friendly slot.  Do you reach on a QB early or do you take a risk late on a rookie like Andrew Luck or RGIII?

Traditionally, teams want to lock up two starting QB’s.  One to cover the bye week and two to cover injury.  Looking at the lineup of QB’s and the questionable value of their draft slotting, teams may wait longer to take their second starter or may even have to wait to take their primary.  No longer is there a list of bona-fide producing QB’s on the draft charts.

The good news is that could easily change in only a few years.  A large influx of talent in the last two seasons has seen the NFL QB pool begin to fill with prospective talent.  Guys like Jake Locker and Christian Ponder to go along with Andy Dalton.  Matt Flynn in Seattle could become a valuable QB in the future.  Luck and RGIII are supposed to be future franchise QB’s as is Ryan Tannehill in Miami and Brandon Weedon in Cleveland.

For now it’s a roll of the roulette wheel.  Do you draft early and reach for a QB who is coming off a down season with questionable possibility of reversing this season or do you stick to your guns and wait taking players who may provide a better stability for your roster overall but leave you dry when placing a name next to the QB slot at the top of your active roster?

That is the beauty of fantasy football.  You simply just don’t know what is going to happen.

FANTASY FOOTBALL 101 — A BEGINNER'S GUIDE

It’s that time of the year again.  You know what I’m talking about.  July is halfway over, the MLB All-Star game is in our rear view mirror and the chatter of NFL training camp has begun. 

Any good guide for beginners will help them learn and love the game early. With Online-Casinos.com, beginners and pros alike love the challenge, excitement and luck involved.

That can only mean one thing…it’s time to get our Fantasy Football leagues in order! 

For those of you who have participated in this activity in the past, you know exactly what I’m talking about.  For those of you that have not, you may be wondering “why all the fuss?” 

I must admit, I’ve been doing this for so long, I can hardly remember what it is like to simply root for a team anymore.  Let’s put it this way, when I played fantasy football for the first time, there were no websites to run your leagues through.  Not even to crunch statistics.  That was the league commissioner’s job! 

I didn’t realize how much of a ‘job’ that was until my third year in the league, when I agreed to assume the role of “Commish”.  It was then that I was handed a floppy disc that contained the Quatro Pro (Excel was unheard of back then) spreadsheet that was to be used to compile the data each week. 

By compiling, I mean spending countless hours on Monday night, combing through the newspaper (remember those), pulling data from each and every box score for every game that had been played on Sunday (and Saturday, if applicable), and hand-writing the statistics of every single player that touched the ball.  

Then there would be countless more hours spent entering this data into the spreadsheet.  After Monday night’s game had been completed, the same process took place on Tuesday to gather the data from that game. 

Then the spreadsheets (plural) would be sorted, by position, top scores to bottom scores, and printed out, along with the league standings.  Upon arriving early to work by at least an hour on Wednesday, these pages would all be faxed out to each of the owners in the league so that they could peruse the information and be ready to submit their proposed free agent selections or trade offers of the week.  (Another byproduct of this process – nobody knew officially if they won or lost until Wednesday morning!) 

Any such free agent acquisitions or trades would need to be submitted by 10:00 PM on Wednesday, which was done by leaving a voice mail on my house landline, which was not to be answered under any circumstance by anyone in my household on these days.  That way I could log each one down on paper and carry them out them in the proper order. 

I would then make a list of these transactions and have them faxed to all owners on Thursday morning.  Any further transactions were done on a first-come-first-served basis until game time, using the same voice mail system. 

Now, thanks to the internet, all of this work is done for us.  So now the Commish’ job is pretty much to pick out the website to use, set up the league and be available to settle any disputes that may arise throughout the season.  There are usually two or three during the seventeen weeks!

This year I decided to start up a brand new “KEEPER” league.  This is something that I have wanted to do for a while now, but just never got around to it.  All of the leagues that I have been running over the past two decades (plus) have been ‘normal’ leagues, where everyone starts from scratch each year. 

I have also decided to go after a fresh group of players, preferably where everyone knows most, if not all of the other owners.  That way we can all talk smack with each other and not worry about offending anyone, since it will all be done in fun and with good taste (right)! 

It was at this point that I realized that there are a lot of sports fans that have been interested in participating for years, but just didn’t know enough about fantasy football to feel safe taking the plunge.  The rest of this story is for them! 

First of all, the fact that you are a football fan has already qualified you to take part in this annual ritual.  No matter how knowledgeable any of the seasoned fantasy owners appear to be, they will still be using the same data that you will be using.  If you have been able to hold your own in football conversations in the past, you will be able to pick this ‘fantasy’ thing up just fine. 

However, there are a few things you will need to know in order to set up your strategy. 

The basic things you will need to know include 1) how many teams are in the league, 2) how many weeks are in the regular season, 3) how many teams will make the playoffs, and 4) is this a keeper league? 

These are all basic but necessary questions.  They formulate the structure of the league and really help identify the mission of the league (such as…is this a league that is for fun or serious, or…is this league going to be around for a while). 

Then you need to know the specifics of the league. 

1)      How many starters at each position? – You will find that this will vary from league to league.  Most common lineups include one quarterback (QB), 2 running backs (RBs), 2 wide receivers (WRs), one tight end (TE), one Kicker and one Defense/Special Teams unit.  By adding another starter at any position, the value of that position changes dramatically, which will impact your draft strategy as far as which position to go after first.

2)      Is your league a yardage scoring league or a points scoring league? – Some leagues reward you with more points for racking up the yardage, rather than scoring a lot of touchdowns.  Other leagues run the opposite direction.  Knowing which direction your league leans will help you when debating between a RB that can break open the long one for ten 100-yard games a season, but not punch it in from the 2-yard line, versus the RB that comes in at 3rd and goal from the two yard line and ends up with three touchdowns on six yards.

3)      How does your defense rack up the points? – Some leagues don’t make it easy for a defense to score a lot of points.  Others allow them to score a point here and a point there for every conceivable thing that can occur (fumble, interception, sack, safety, blocked extra points, points allowed, yardage allowed, etc.)  If your league is like this one, you need to know which defensive units will be creating a lot of turnovers while pitching near-shutouts, and then grab them quick.

4)      Will your kicker be penalized for missing or only rewarded for connecting? – This will help determine if you should roll the dice on the guy with the strong leg but lousy aim. 

Next, you need to understand that a star player in the NFL may not necessarily be a star player in Fantasy Football. 

For example, Troy Aikman was one of the most talented quarterbacks to play the game, but he would always be drafted as a #2 quarterback in Fantasy leagues.  Why?  Because he threw short passes, an occasional long pass to Michael Irvin, then hand the ball off to Emmett Smith for the touchdown. 

Meanwhile, an average QB on a very bad team would come out of the locker room at halftime down by double-digit points, and air it out for the remainder of the game.  He’d end up with 350 passing yards and a couple of touchdowns, even though his team never won a game!  Who cares…he just helped you win your matchup for the week!! 

Also, if the league is deep with talented QBs, but only have a handful of RBs that are worth anything, you can pass on the Aaron Rogers pick and grab the stud RB in the first round, then pick up a second level QB later.  Likewise, if there appears to be fifty good WRs, you can wait until the 3rd or 4th round to grab one, while stockpiling the stud RBs and/or QBs.

Finally, remember to participate fully, even if your team happens to suck (which happens to everyone, no matter what they say).  The goal is to have fun.  If you happen to win bragging rights for the off season, that’s icing on the cake. 

The bottom line is this…do your homework!  If you know the specifics about your league and you are up to speed on the actual players, you can have a lot of fun in this new venture of Fantasy Football!

2012 Nfl Power Rankings for the Washington Redskins

In most years when a teams selects the second overall player in the NFL Draft, they are a team in need of a rebuild and they are a team that missed out on the opportunity to select the draft crop's best quarterback. Most would say that the Redskins missed out on the draft's best quarterback, but they certainly didn't miss on a chance to take a top QB prospect as they found themselves with Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III.

After trading up to select RG3, there is plenty of optimism in Washington. But the 2012 Redskins will likely depend heavily on the performance of the rookie quarterback. In ProFootballTalk's latest update to their preseason power rankings, they ranked the Redskins as the league's No. 24 team, but spoke of the potential of an exciting season for the team.

Griffin could be the next rookie quarterback to hit the ground running and the restored confidence could cover enough flaws for the team to take advantage of an out-of-division schedule that looks like it is on the softer side. Even that might not be enough to put them in playoff contention, but it could make 8-8 a possibility and that would be a significant step forward for the team.

The Redskins are annually at a disadvantage in the NFC East which is notoriously tough. Like PFT says, a significant step forward for a team led by a rookie would be a good move for the Redskins.

Cleveland Browns New Wide Receiver Josh Gordon

pittsburgh steelers sexy superfans 5 Cleveland Browns New Wide Receiver Josh Gordon

While the loss of a pick may not be a major headache, Gordon could certainly be one to the Browns. The stressed little WR has been rather of a head-case in the course of his time at Baylor. Gordon started the team last year after checking positive for marijuana. Nevertheless, the Browns GM Tom Heckert is encouraged that he will certainly not be a complication area ar having actually done an "extensive background check" as well as was estimated as stating "We hope he can be found in and also bets right away".
 
According to NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah (a scout), "He's very stimulating to check out on tape. He may acquire ground remarkably quickly with his long stride, has a massive catching span and also could produce after the catch with both speed and also elusiveness.
Having actually collected information from a couple of additional sources, I do not feel Gordon is the kind of explosive skill that will start making large play after huge play. Granted, forthe Browns, a big play can mean a 5 yard catch for a first-down!tounge smile Cleveland Browns New Wide Receiver Josh Gordon
 
Appraising by his 40 yard  time– 4.52, he isn't really a speedster  so to me that means more of an impact in PPR leagues than standard leagues. Gordon will be collaborating with rookie QB Brandon Weeden in Cleveland so at the very least, Gordon is starting with the same slate  as everybody else on the Browns lineup. An optimistic projection would certainly be: 50 catches, 700 yards, 6 TD's. Begin with that as your max presumption and   go down from there relying on your danger resilience.regular smile31 Cleveland Browns New Wide Receiver Josh Gordon

OMG! ESPN Likes Tebow More Than Sanchez In Fantasy Football

July 19, 2012 By Leave a Comment
TEBOW

 

In looking at ESPN's dream football quarterback rankings, I detected a little something appealing: Tim Tebow (26th) is rated ahead of incumbent Jets' quarterback Mark Sanchez (28th). This really isn't simply one individual's listing either; this is the listing developed by ESPN's whole entire Dream Team.
 
Tebow could be a touchdown vulture for the Jets, operating the read alternative down by the target line, yet as long as Sanchez is the starter, Tebow will certainly be little even more than that. Nonetheless, a touchdown vulture could never ever have even more value than a starting  quarterback. By placing Tebow ahead of Sanchez, ESPN's fantasy experts are essentially saying that Tebow will definitely be the starter sometime around the middle of the season.
 
Regardless of his oft-ugly numbers, Tebow is actually a rather decent fantasy quarterback. Though his play could be irregular from week to week, he averaged 20.48 dream points per online game in his 11 starts last season. Mark Sanchez, on the some other hand, averaged 21.54 points.
 
Sanchez was even working with a bunch more talent, as the Jets boast a superior offense. Additionally remember that the Broncos' run game was far below standard before Tebow took over at quarterback. They averaged 86.75 scrambling yards each game while Kyle Orton was starting (leaving out the  game when he was pulled at halftime), while the league standard was 117.1 gardens for every online game.
 
An additional thing to mention is that in Tebow's 3 starts in 2010 he averaged an extremely good 28.81 dream points every game.
 
Tim Tebow might wind up uploading solid RB3 value while Sanchez is the starter, however he won't be uploading anywhere near really good quarterback worth. The reason that ESPN rates Tebow above Sanchez is because they believe he'll be the starter sooner  than later on.
 
The moment Tebow is called the starter, he should be picked up as a backup and monitored as a prospective matchup-play starter, as he has the ability to construct gaudy fantasy totals.

Winning Fantasy Football Draft Concepts and Tips

May 8, 2012 By Leave a Comment
300px Fumbles Winning Fantasy Football Draft Concepts and Tips

The rate of fumbles by running backs in the NFL has decreased steadily since the AFL-NFL merger. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The Three-Headed Monster – Take each of a QB, RB, WR with your first three picks. This approach lends itself to a balanced attack without glaring weakness at any of the featured positions. Having a stud at each position also maximizes your potential for trade partners in the event of an injury at another position or if one of your other players doesn’t pan out as you hope.

Off and Running – Selecting a running back with each of your first two selections is a standard draft philosophy. The emergence of the RBBC (running back by committee) has forced some GM’s away from this approach, but it has the potential for great upside if done correctly. Stud running backs are the cornerstone of many winning fantasy teams. Historically, over half of all fantasy owners were using this strategy, but that number is probably closer to 25 percent today.

Better to Receive? – Ten years ago, going WR-WR with your first two picks would likely elicit a chorus of snickers and jeers. But the NFL’s trend towards a pass-happy league, coupled with the demise of the feature back, has made the strategy entirely acceptable. Employing this draft tactic is risky, as it places an emphasis on one’s ability to prospect running backs in later rounds. Important: If you utilize WR-WR approach, DO NOT take either a QB or TE until at least the 5th round.

Wait on a Quarterback – While it is advisable to grab a top signal-caller, it is not a necessity. Even though an elite quarterback will score more points than any running back or receiver, the point differential between a top QB and a serviceable starter isn’t as significant as it is in the RB and WR positions. For this reason, many GM’s wait until the middle rounds (6th -8th and beyond) to grab a quarterback. With every selection not used on a quarterback, owners will increase their chances of landing a difference-making RB or WR. When waiting on a quarterback it is recommended to grab a reliable backup a few rounds later for use in a possible quarterback by committee system. And be mindful of QB runs, especially if you are at the ends of the draft. Missing out on a viable QB can cripple an otherwise stellar fantasy squad.

Don’t Be the First – If you are the first person to take a defense, are you getting value? The answer is no, even if you take them behind their current ADP. Fact is, if you are the first to take any of the lesser positions (tight end, kicker, defense), you are paying a higher price than any other owner for that position. Let someone else start the run of a position. You are certain to get a quality player a round later and beyond. But be mindful of depth at each position, especially if you draft from the ends (picking 1st or 12th, (10th in smaller leagues)), where you will see many players taken between grouped selections.

Grab a Piece – Each year there are a few trendy offensive units that the masses peg to breakout. A team that fits this description for 2010 is the SanFrancisco 49ers. Don’t be dismayed if you don’t land a cog of such an offense. Consider that #2 WR Josh Morgan isn’t being drafted in most leagues this season. If the Niners develop into a prolific offensive unit, Morgan would certainly outperform current projections and making him a successful late-round flyer pick. By grabbing a small piece of a breakout offense, GM’s give themselves a chance to be a part of the next big thing without reaching for players who are probably being eyeballed by every other GM.

Upside Up – In the odd numbered rounds that snake “up”, draft for upside. In even rounds, where the draft comes back “down”, make some safe selections. This way, you can avoid emerging from your draft with a roster comprised exclusively of boring safe choices or boom/bust type players.

-Be mindful of bye week scheduling. If you are drafting a backup QB it does you little good to take one who sits the same week as your starter.

-Sometimes the difference between two relatively equal players will come down to the elements. Cold weather games often impact the passing attacks of teams in the latter stages of the season. If you have the chance, select players that play in domes/warm-weather climates over those that play in the cold and wind of Northern cities.

Aaron Rodgers called Matt Flynn Top 15 quarterback Is that a compliment?

April 16, 2012 By 25 Comments

Like us on Facebook www.facebook.com Aaron Rodgers had some kind words for general managers interested in acquiring his former backup, Matt Flynn. “The team that gets Matt is going to be very happy, I can promise you,” Rodgers said of the free agent. “They’ll be getting a top-15 quarterback.” The Green Bay Packers quarterback surely meant it as a compliment to his understudy of four seasons. But was it? There are 32 starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Being in the top 15 could mean you’re barely better than half, right in the meaty part of the curve. Let’s assume the top-14 quarterbacks in the league are, in some order: Rodgers, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Matthew Stafford, Michael Vick, Tony Romo, Jay Cutler, Matt Schaub, Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan and Andrew Luck. You can quibble with the bottom of the list, but that’s beside the point. Essentially, Rodgers is saying that Flynn will be Joe Flacco, Mark Sanchez or Alex Smith.

Tim Tebow’s Legacy of Faith, Hope and Love
