12-Team PPR Draft happening tonight

I am doing a 12-team PPR draft tonight for Buffalo Wild Wings and will post the results here.  The company clearly gets the appeal of fantasy football, and they have set up a whole micro site for their "Blogger League" here: http://ff.buffalowildwings.com/ The stakes are pretty high, as the winner gets a trip to the super bowl and gets to play in a flag (or touch, can't recall) football game with some all-time greats, like Jerry Rice. Man, I would love the opportunity to "try" to cover Rice, or to have him cover me and catch a pass on him. Of ...

Thoughts on LT and the Jets

Once again, I am sorry for the lack of updates here. I have been going out of my mind keeping up with all the content this month. My goal is to have the site ready every day of this month for anyone who has a draft, so I want the site as up-to-date as possible because I know people are drafting throughout the month. Obviously, we can’t update everything, but this has been our best year in terms of preseason coverage, and the blog has suffered. But again, we’re covering everything on the site on a daily basis, so everything’s on ...

Get them now!

I thought it would be cool to post and continually update an ideal team comprised only of players I am really feeling right now as breakout/value types. You can call this my all “Get their ass on your team this year” team. 1st Team: QB: Tom Brady RB: Michael Turner RB: Ryan Mathews WR: Randy Moss WR: Calvin Johnson WR: Johnny Knox TE: Jermichael Finley And while I’m at it…. 2nd Team QB: Kevin Kolb RB: Jahvid Best RB: Ahmad Bradshaw WR: Greg Jennings WR: Miles Austin WR: Jeremy Maclin TE: Zach Miller And while I’m at it still… Sleepers Only: QB: Joe Flacco (ok, maybe Matthew Stafford is a better “sleeper”) RB: Arian Foster RB: Justin Forsett WR: Mike Williams (TB) WR: Lance ...

QBs in 6-pt/Passing TD Leagues

We've had a lot of requests for analysis on leagues in which QB gets 6 points per TD pass, so here's a look at Mike Horn's statistical breakdown of these types of leagues. Start Article QBs in 6-pt/Passing TD Leagues by Mike Horn Staff Writer, FantasyGuru.com There have been several questions lately about the impact on player values of a scoring system that awards 6 points for passing TDs (instead of the 4 points common in many leagues). This is my attempt to answer that analytically. Who benefits? There are two parts to this question. First, which individual QBs are better in a 6 point passing ...

A sneak peak at Good Vibes/Bad Vibes

I am starting to work on the annual good vibes/bad vibes article, and as I do 127 other things throughout the day, I expect to be done some time Wednesday to post on the site. It’s a little earlier than I usually post this, but I know some people are drafting earlier this year for some reason. Here’s quick look around the league. Arizona Cardinals – Not good at all. Larry Fitzgerald is hurting, Matt Leinart stinks, and Beanie Wells for whatever reason was playing in the 4th quarter this past weekend. Wells looked okay, and I do still love his ...

    Of course, mere hours after I posted the last Sirius Business, WR Terrell Owens officially signed with Cincinnati, rendering most of what I wrote completely out of style.
