The Diary of a Fantasy Virgin : Week 21

Tim Davoll — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 02:00:00 PST

It is the end of the NFL year. The Giants of New York will be at The Patriots of New England. The game will be held at Lucas Oil stadium in Indianapolis. The NFL is the most watched sport in America and during these days of 50 percent this way and 50 percent that way in this country, it is a breath of fresh air to have an event like the Super Bowl.

2012 Fantasy Sharks Pro Bowl V

Walter Collazo — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:00:00 PST

Welcome to the Super Bowl edition of the Brew Crew Corner. It has been an exciting season, and it’s even better when your team is playing in the Super Bowl. One thing fantasy football leagues lack is a Pro Bowl game. Since fantasy leagues don't have a Pro Bowl, I simulate a game each year to showcase the best fantasy players. Could you imagine if you had all these players on your roster? Records would fall.

Chambo & Marty Scouting Faceoff: Doug Martin vs. Chris Polk

Mark Chamberlin and Scott Martin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 02:30:00 PST

Depending on who you talk to, you’ll get a vast number of responses answering the question: “Who is the No. 2 running back in this year’s class?” Mark Chamberlin and I (Scott Martin) don’t differ on this response, both answering with an unmistakable answer ... Lamar Miller. However, even more people will give you a MORE vast opinion on who the No. 3 running back is in the 2012 draft. In this case, Mark and I differ tremendously.

FREE AGENT FEEDING FRENZY: Defensive Linemen

Gary Davenport — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 23:30:00 PST

The 2011 fantasy football campaign has concluded, and with only Super Bowl XLVI remaining to be played, soon the curtain will fall on another season of National Football League action as well. However, for fantasy football fanatics in dynasty Individual Defensive Player (IDP) leagues or any owner looking to get an early edge on the competition, the offseason is basically non-existent, which means that no sooner does one season end than another begins.

The Prognosticator - Superbowl Edition

Tony Holm — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:45:45 PST

My heart is in this one. I know it's not fashionable to be a Patriots fan, I get the "hate the good team" philosophy, I'm a root for the underdog kind of guy too but for me, I'm in New England, I've lived here a long time, I like many of the teams in the NFL, but I'm a Patriots fan and I'm not ashamed. I still have night sweats over the 1985 Tony Eason led Patriots. I have a number of devastating sports moments that I've witnessed, I'm sure you all have too with your respective home teams whether it be NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL or whatever sports you follow. The 2007 Superbowl against the Giants and "that catch" to spoil a perfect season is at the top of the list.

The Diary of a Fantasy Virgin : Week 20

Tim Davoll — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 01:00:00 PST

All that remains for the football season are two teams. One last game to end it all in Indianapolis. After starting out my prognostications with a record of 2-2, I came back with a 3-1 week followed by a 2-0 week.

The 10 Biggest 2011 Fantasy Football (Positive) Surprises

Zach Greubel — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 06:50:00 PST

The 2011 fantasy football season has come to its unfortunate end. The following are the 10 players who I think pleasantly surprised fantasy owners this season in order of least surprising to most surprising. Granted, these players could probably be moved up or down one spot and it wouldn’t make much difference, but to each their own.

Early 2012 Rankings

Patrick White — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:30:00 PST

It’s amazing how fast the NFL season goes by. It’s equally amazing how long the offseason seems to drag on. Congrats on all of your 2011 successes. But with the end of 2011 comes the preparation for 2012. Here are the big four positions and their top ranked players. Feel free to drop your input in under the “Article Discussions” forum, topic: Early 2012 Rankings.

Chambo & Marty Scouting Faceoff: Alshon Jeffery vs. Michael Floyd

Mark Chamberlin and Scott Martin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:30:00 PST

While we both agree on our No. 1 wide receiver, Justin Blackmon (obviously), we went out on a limb a bit with our No. 2 wide receiver (Kendall Wright), especially because many people have had two other wide receivers well ahead of him. Today we’re here to debate which of those two wide receivers will be our No. 3 in this year’s draft class.

Unheralded and Undervalued – Jordan White, WR (Western Michigan)

Mark Chamberlin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 02:00:00 PST

Over the next few months leading up to the draft I’m going to have a series of articles devoted to the underrated prospects in this year’s crop. Leading off is likely the most undeservingly overlooked player that will likely fall to Day 3 of draft weekend. Record-breaking Western Michigan wide receiver Jordan White’s name is littered near the top in most statistical categories (surpassing former Bronco Greg Jennings in the process), yet his name is an afterthought to most scouts. I’ll tell you why they’re wrong inside.

Chambo & Marty - Our Robert Griffin III Love Fest

Mark Chamberlin and Scott Martin — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 03:30:00 PST

If you had asked either one of us in September if there was one player we were excited to write about this offseason we would have answered Robert Griffin III. In one such email exchange I wrote to Marty, ‘I have moved him up to my No. 2 quarterback and Top 10 overall player and will find a way to defend it between now and January. He’s that good.’ Little did we know our job would be so easy, so instead of doing what most others are doing and dissecting his game, we are going to tell you how he is going to be (much) better than the quarterback he will be most compared to over the next four months, Cam Newton.

Looking Forward To 2012 - Audibles Finale

So, come on in as Mike gives you his take on next year while providing you with some interesting things to think about during the off-season.

Chambo & Marty Scout Kendall Wright: This Year's True #2 WR Prospect

Mark Chamberlin and Scott Martin — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 07:30:00 PST

Before this season began, the majority of the scouting community, ourselves included, didn’t view Baylor wide receiver Kendall Wright as any more than at best the 10th wide receiver in this upcoming draft. However, smaller wide receivers such as Steve Smith have paved the way for players like Wright to be a clear No. 1 wide receiver at the next level. Wright took notice and has proven over the course of the year that he is one tough wide receiver who is not only a dynamic playmaker on the deep ball, but one who is not afraid to come across the middle to make a tough catch. He went from outside the Top 10 wide receivers to the No. 2 wide receiver on our board and into the Top 20 overall rather quickly. Inside, we’ll detail why.

Face the Future: 2012 Draft Quarterbacks

We’ve split up the Top 10 into three tiers and then highlighted persons of interest who have a chance to break into the Top 10 depending on what happens in the offseason.
