Team Management 101

Hey, thanks for coming back. I have sensed that a lot of people have kind of stopped their interest in fantasy baseball to go to football. I would hope that everyone sticks with it to the end, but to help out more people I will dedicate this article to football. By now, I am sure that most of you have drafted by now and have your teams all set so good luck to all for this new year. Here I will share some of my secrets and strategies for the upcoming NFL season.

One great way to get value and cover spots that you are lacking is to take advantage of the quarterback and wide receiver combo. As many of you know, a lot of people love to have a great quarterback and wide out from the same team so that when they hook up there are double the points. So with that in mind, the Peyton owner may give an arm in a leg for Marvin Harrison, where the McNabb guy will not. Keep an eye on things like these and look at who your players’ quarterback is. Note: this won’t always be in apply for you, because there is probably not a Matt Schaub guy for your Andre Johnson.

Another one of my theories that can be applied although is a little late. Do not be concerned about your defense! Unless you can get a Baltimore or Chicago please do not draft a defense in the first 10 rounds. In Yahoo settings, the 15^th ranked Green Bay had 8 points less than San Diego. Save yourself several rounds. For people who have drafted, do not pay a lot to move up. As I mentioned the difference between mediocre and select few is half a point a week. A sleeper d to keep an eye on is Minnesota. They were best by far against the run and will only get better against passing games. They start with Atlanta and Detroit so expect a good start.

Two receivers I like this year are Devery Henderson and Vincent Jackson. Although Henderson looked bad last night, last year he had the best average per catch with 23.3. He will get more looks this year because he will mature and because of the loss of Joe Horn. Vincent Jackson is a popular sleeper this year large in part because Eric Parker could miss six weeks. You can be sure the 6’5 Jackson will consistently be open because the double teams will be on Gates and LT. That’s all for today!
