Great read.
To be honest, although I looove fantasy sports... fantasy football has always been my least favourite.
This is a bit curious to me, because I love watching & rooting for players on Sunday/Monday. The day's worth of watching the stats and refreshing matchups are so exciting, I love it.
But when's it's all said & done I find that fantasy football seems to have more of the "luck factor" than hockey or baseball.
And for this reason, I've really always been more fond of fantasy hockey or fantasy baseball because the smartest owners do well.
I've seen leagues where the smartest football guy drafts a team and it finishes at the bottom of a one-year league. This almost never happens in fantasy hockey or baseball (even with injuries).
And I've been in leagues where the dumbest guy (say, a "Taco") ends up winning it. Like WTF.
So - I love to hear these strategies and techniques... I need something to convince me that doing thorough research is going to reward me with a top finish during the season!
Note: Good article on ESPN today from Matthew Berry. Lots of info.
