Fantasy Football Player Rankings Rant

All these major sites, who host hundreds of thousands fantasy leagues (ESPN, NFL, Yahoo, CBS...), should definitely have an application on their site that allows the owner to UPLOAD an Excel (or Works) spreadsheet, which converts into your player rankings. No, not every person who plays

fantasy football is gonna spend the time to create his or her own spreadsheet (player list), but I guarantee for as many who do, there are probably the same amount who have one that someone else created for them.

Nevertheless, most people who play, and want to win, rank their players at the particular site prior to their draft, right? And it is those people - who have spent their time preparing - who deserve to save a few hours of their time by not having to drag & drop (or click up & down) 150+ players into a particular order.

Why is this not already a thing? We go apply for jobs, and sites instantly read our resumes, and not only show you the resume, but they take certain fields of information, and place that information where it is needed into their application!

C'mon... this is 2013 already!

That's why my posts have been very limited lately. I'm utilizing a lot of time preparing. Just letting you know so you don't think I quit posting at all. No worries!

My Perfect Week

I've only done it one other time in 17 years of NFL picks. Yeah it's pretty rare. I don't remember many perfect pick 'em weeks happening, although I suspect there were probably several for this week-7. Kudos to me!

When they say Marshawn Lynch goes into "beast mode," this is what they're talking about. Here's a bigger version if you wish..

C'Mon Cowboys

3-1 is so much better than 2-2 at this stage, we know you can do it!

Cowboys' offensive line is gonna be the key to this game. Having already faced three fierce tests against the G-Men, the Seahawks, and most importantly the vicious Bucs, we know the Bears D-line is also one of the best. It's not gonna get any easier with this schedule, either. After the week-5 bye, we have to visit the Ravens in Baltimore! Ouch. Let's all say a little prayer now that we see Romo alive & well for week-7's game in Carolina.

And Just Like That - It's Over

Thank you, NFL, for coming to an agreement. We appreciate it more than you know!

Drafting a Fantasy QB Early

Via / Source

This was a cool graphic I found - making the point that most fantasy football owners who drafted top QBs early are likely to be losing this season.

Updating this graphic with week-3's stats, Rodgers had about 8 in week-3 against the Seahawks. In week-3 of 2011 (and I have no idea why this is N/A in the graphic to begin with), Rodgers had about 24.

So the graphic is, in fact very accurate - in that if you drafted a top-5 or top-6 QB this year, you are likely not winning much so far this year.

I tried to get Cam Newton in most leagues, but I wound up getting Michael Vick. After the season I had last year (waiting a long time to draft a QB) I wasn't about to do it again. Trying to get Vick was still pretty early (probably 6th or 7th QB drafted), and he's got 9 turnovers through 3 games. The league in which I have been starting Romo is 3-0.

If you waited for a QB this season (unlike most seasons) you are probably doing very well.

Robbed!

This is a travesty! I'm willing to bet we've just seen the last of these stupid replacement refs.. Goodell has got to mandate these owners pay the refs what they want, and get on with it. It was already ridiculous before this MNF game - the way this one was called has got to make it clear as day to Goodell. Oh, and give the Packers this game in a monumental reversal.

Are You Kidding Me?

Yahoo fantasy football

So yeah, this week I lost by 0.06 & 0.12 in two separate leagues. I guess that's your argument for fractional points, since I probably would've won with non-fractional points. Still.. what is this, like 1 yard?
