Good sites?
 
I've been looking around Fantasy Football Today. Any other good sites for researching players/rankings/stats? Getting my list together for my draft in two weeks. I'm hanging on to two RB's (Barber and Westbrook). So I'll be drafting 3 QB's, 2 RB's, 5 WR's, 2 TE's, 2 K's, and 2 DST's.

Umm.. Depending on how many starters you have, I am guessing

QB
RB
RB
WR
WR
TE
K
DEF

I would go with 2QB's, 4-5RB's, 6-7WR, 1K and 1DEF... Generally you want to grab extra RB's and WR's and then trade them if you need something else or want an upgrade later.. RB's are worth more this year then ever, because of the pushout rule..

Valiant 08-09-2008 08:47 PM

Ohh, just buy a couple fantasy mags for values..

The best tips I can give you is, try to get RB's from good offenses that get in the endzone alot...

With QB's and WR's think of teams that have bad defenses and need to score alot, or teams that will be losing alot, these teams will be throwing alot more to either with the other team or playing catch up.

What I listed is what I have to draft. I would have said 4 RB's, but I'll already have two. If you're saying what I'll play each week, it's 3 WR's, not 2.

You need to know what you're starting positions are, the only position you should ever overdraft is RB.

The positions and number of each is what everyone drafts....

I'm not asking how many. I'm asking about good sites for research.

I want to know how many starters you have though, obviously those numbers include backups you'll only be playing in by weeks, matchup scenarios or if injury occurs.

What the starting positions are should heavily affect how you draft.

Valiant has it right, except for the WR's.

1 QB
2 RB
3 WR
1 TE
1 K
1 DST

I inherited a team, of which I get to keep two players. Of the 4 RB's I would have to draft, I've already got 2.

Mecca 08-09-2008 09:20 PM

Don't take a kicker till one of the very last rounds.....and try to get one thats on a team like NE, Dallas or New Orleans.

Finding a site to research is hit or miss because it's basically going to be someones opinion, that's about half of fantasy football pegging who your breakout players are and hoping they pan out.

I won several leagues several years back because in back to back years I pegged Javon Walker and Chad Johnsons breakout years.

Keep your 2 RB's, try to get another one with one of your first 3 picks, look for a top notch QB and WR in there also.

Make sure you look at the bye weeks for teams. Several of the big name players all have the same bye weeks this year.

I know how to draft. I'm looking for...oh, never mind.

Mecca 08-09-2008 09:27 PM

You're not going to find a site that says "take these guys" the site you draft on will have them ranked in a "fantasy production order"

Most of fantasy football is using your knowledge to beat the other people, drafting the breakout guy they missed or the guy they don't know about.

I need to learn more about players in order to know how I'd rank them. I'm not going to copy someone else's list. Hell, I'll just go to yahoo sports and read up on each player.
