Fantasy football Preview

Fantasy Football Preview
Girls roll their eyes when men talk about their fantasy team. Yet, men know a fantasy football championship means alpha male bragging rights among the bros for years to come. Read this fantasy preview and soak up the knowledge, sleepers, and busts to fist pump and celebrate your way to fantasy lore in the 2010-2011 season.
The biggest debate in the fantasy football pre-season is who you pick number one. Personally, I wish they would save the ink. The amount of debate for one pick who affects at most three people in one round in ludicrous. This year more than ever you can skip those pages, it is Chris Johnson. I’ll cause a scene in public if I hear Adrian Peterson in consideration for number one pick. His numbers have continued to decrease in the last four years and he only topped 100 yards in a game three times last year, and don’t forget about that fumbleitis. Chris Johnson topped 100 yards twelve times and his numbers only increased once Vince young took the helm and he may even be the best receiver on a young Titans team.
The NFL is evolving into a passing league, draft accordingly. For example hall of fame quarterback John Elway threw for 4,000 yards once in his career (4,030). Aaron Rodgers (stud) has already done it twice and there were ten other quarterbacks last season to top the 4,000 yard plateau. The NFL now over compensates with rules to protect quarterbacks and gives personal fouls to defensive backs if they chew bubble gum within five yards of a receiver. The big running backs will still dominate because they are the most consistent fantasy scorers from week to week. Randy Moss finished as the second ranked receiver and had four weeks last season he had six or less fantasy points. What does this mean? Get a top ten quarterback, a consistent runner, and load up on these upside receivers.
Mike Wallace of the Pittsburgh Steelers doesn’t seem to care who is throwing him the football, might be Dennis Dixon the first four weeks, he makes big plays, and the return of Roethlisberger in week five will only make his stats go up. Jacoby Jones of the Houston Texans has learned under Andre Johnson (the best receiver on the planet) and may be the next Reggie Wayne. Rookie Dez Bryant, despite missing the pre-season will be a beast who plays with a chip on his shoulder. Although Bryant fell in the real draft Jerry Jones has given nothing but love and so should you. Mike Martz is now calling plays in Chicago and with Cutler throwing the rock one big receiver will emerge, either Johnny Knox or Devin Aromashodu “The aroma” but it will not be Devin Hester, don’t be that guy who drafts Hester every year. Some deep wide receiver sleepers for late round picks are Mike Williams of the Seahawks who will start with the release of T.J who’s your momma and another Mike Williams of the Buccaneers who has been a human highlight reel during the pre-season. Patriot fans rejoice Edelman might catch 75 to a 100 balls, and I wouldn’t expect Welker to miss a beat this season as Brady has looked like vintage Brady in the pre-season.
The key to fantasy glory is being an active owner, making moves, and playing the matchups. You can read my complete fantasy preview on my blog www.blogspot.com/CharlieMerritt. Draft these players with confidence, laugh at your friends when they call “Plaxico Buress” on draft day, and soon you will be making it rain at 103 like Pac man Jones.
