    Default ESPN Fantasy Analyst: Matthew Berry

    Hey guys,

    Not sure if you've read any of Matthew Berry's stuff before over at ESPN, but I find the information he provides to be quite useful and his style of writing to be very entertaining. Definitely one of my favoruite fantasy sports writers.

    Throughout the year, he does a weekly Fantasy Football Love/Hate column and his yearly Draft Day Manifesto just got posted, so feel free to give it a read if you'd like.

    Cheers

    I read it every week during NFL season because its soooooooo entertaining.. But to be honest he is wrong more often then he is right.. Its a good read though, just don't take his weekly predictions too serious..

    For sure. From time to time he does give some useful info, but the kicker for me is his writing style is just so damn entertaining

    Yeah... Berry is boss. I love his stuff.

    I actually use ESPN exclusively for my multi-sports statistical checks & articles.
    I use Yahoo! for my fantasy leagues... but I find ESPN is better supporting content.

    love his personal touches and nuances

    he delves into his views, reasons but then also reminds you that at the same time the opposite view can be reasoned for.

    it makes you think and keeps you laughing

    no writer is correct all the time. i enjoy the read though and will continue to do so

    Berry is a goof but it's good print. I would never base a lineup change or add/drop on his insight though.

    I've met him, he's a good person and a funny guy but he's also an entertainer and not directly a gamer.

    I'll take the entertainment value, but when his idea of a sleeper is someone owned in 100% of the leagues I just don't get anything from it.

    I don't want to bash him, I wish I had his paycheck

    The episode of The League with him in it made me a big fan. Like I said, not my go to, but at least he understand the value of entertaining. I'd rather read his column than the same thing 5x over.
