The Carolina Panthers produced the third-most fantasy points from the tight end position in 2011. Now that Jeremy Shockey has departed, Greg Olsen has legitimate sleeper status written all over him.

Roddy White has yet to miss a game in his professional career. In the past five seasons, he has averaged 1,284 yards and 8 1/2 touchdowns per season.   The rumored role increase for Julio Jones is the only reason he is not in Tier 1 this year, but he is as safe as wide receivers come these days.

Maurice Jones-Drew belongs in Tier 1, period. Contrary to popular belief, Jones-Drew is not injury prone and has only missed three games in his six-year career. He averages 4.6 yards per carry and more than 45 receptions every year. He doesn’t score enough touchdowns you say? Ray Rice only scored four more last year!

There were numerous moves that were made during the offseason that will not only affect NFL teams, but also the fantasy layout as well. The most notable being the changing of the guard in Indianapolis, with the Colts parting ways with Peyton Manning and drafting Stanford phenom Andrew Luck.

However, there were four other notable changes between the post-Super Bowl festivities up to now. Here are the other four that will will possibly affect your thought process leading up to your draft.

Live auction drafts seem like a lot of work. You need a place. You need to organize the owners of your league. You need to know a little math.

Will Chris Johnson be ready for the season opener, and should you draft him? Is there a new Super Mario about to jump over opposing defenses? And how did I fare in a recent expert auction draft? Find out the answers to these questions and more. The Fantasy Intelligence Report is back again, and it’s running as strong as a Mack truck.

You can never have too many pieces of data for your fantasy draft, but it is important to use each correctly and not overanalyze. The strength of schedule analysis is a tool that can be quite valuable if used properly. You should not solely base your draft on a player’s strength of schedule and bypass a much better player due solely to schedule strength, especially when you consider these numbers are based on last season and things change from year-to-year. I doubt you would want to pass on Aaron Rodgers because he faces the third toughest schedule against the pass this season. But utilizing strength of schedule certainly has its use. A detailed breakdown of the 2011 strength of schedule broken down all the way to the passing and running games.

“Where are you picking?” It is the most common question leading up to draft day. What if I told you that your answer could be, “Anywhere and everywhere I want!” Do you think having Adrian Peterson and Chris Johnson starting in your backfield is an impossible scenario? Looking for a way to take your football league to the next level? With an auction draft all of these dreams can become a reality.
