The Standard Deviation

I’ve got to admit, I’m still new to this whole ‘giving fantasy advice’ thing (can you believe it’s been less than a year!) and I made a mistake. I didn’t make this mistake in other sports, but I did here. I forgot to emphasize the fact that I am ranking players based on a scoring [...]

20 Players I’ll Let THEM Draft, and Why…

Here’s another quick hit list of players I’m looking to avoid on draft day. Listed with each player is the reasoning behind my feelings. For many of these guys, it has to do with price/position, so obviously if things change I could end up with one of them. Before I begin the list, one piece [...]

My Top Two Sleepers At Each Position

Hey all, I figured I’d jump in here with a quick hit list of my top two favorite sleepers this year at QB, RB, and WR. Below each guy I’ve added just a little blurb to back up the decision, and I’ve also included my projections for each of the picks. I’ve got my next [...]

The Snake Draft vs. The Auction Draft

Ahhhhhhh, one of my very favorite topics to go off on. Readers who’ve been with me for awhile are all too familiar with this argument, and most (though unfortunately not all) of you, have switched over from snake style to auction style. For those people, please chime in the comments section and help me convince [...]

Recap: My First Draft of the Season

I had my first draft of the season last night and boy was it a doozy. About a month ago a fellow trader at my new shop approached me asking if I’d like to join the office’s fantasy football league. Now I have a rule about fantasy sports that my oldest readers know all too [...]

The Fantasy Sports Thief: Fantasy Football Top 170

Don’t ask me why I chose 170 players, you don’t want to know the answer. OK, I’ll tell you anyway, but in order to do so, I’ve got to give (once again) some insight into HOW I came to these rankings. First things first, I got myself some projected stats. Kudos goes out to Rotowire, [...]

Maddenized RB Ranks, TE Ranks, and Revisiting Decay

What’s up Thief Nation! We’re just about 3 weeks away from the start of Fantasy Football 2011, which means 95% of us will be drafting over these next few weeks. I’ve got the first of three drafts (the only snake style one) scheduled for this Wednesday. That gives me little time to finalize my rankings [...]

Draft Strategies Revisited, WR Ranks Maddenized, and YES I do hate Eli Manning!

Whoa! Back to back days of posts! I made myself a promise that I’d start posting when I get home from work before I allowed myself to be sucked into the ever addicting world of Madden 2011. Seriously, you know it’s bad when your wife starts putting on her facebook status that she’s become a [...]

QB Rankings Updated…..No, Maddenized!!

Sorry for the hiatus again folks. Long story short, long hours at the office coupled with a SERIOUSLY unhealthy addiction to playing the new Madden 2011 has kept me at bay. That all said, I’m here and I’m ready to help. Now that we’ve gotten some preseason games out of the way, I’ve been able [...]

Well Here’s a Surprise: WR Rankings Unveiled!

Here I am going on and on about QB’s and RB’s and which is more valuable and under what circumstances and I completely glossed over WR’s. Everyone knows that the NFL has become a passing league more and more each season. Everyone knows that teams are swapping to more of a running back by committee [...]
