Fantasy Football Advice

Fantasy football drafts have been consuming all of my time. I have had a bunch lately. Here are my thoughts:

1. ADP does not mean anything when the action starts. It is a good measure...of what is going to happen, but when it gets crazy it gets crazy. People were drafted way out of line with their ADPs...I was able to draft Tom Brady in the sixth round of a 14 man draft...picking from the 10 hole. Normally I wait on a QB, but I started to smile when I thought I could have Brady or McNabb in the sixth round.

2. Draft Tracking is awesome in theory but the fog of a draft sometimes does not make it practical.

3. Grab the guy you want if you think he will not be there when you draft again.

4. Mock at as many different sites as possible to get a good idea of what you will see from the competition.

5. Test the software at the computer site that you are drafting at in order to make sure it works.

6. Immediately evaluate your team after your fantasy football draft to determine where your team is weak and where you are strong.

7. Understand your fantasy football league's rules.

8. If a player has a history of substance abuse, nagging injuries, being an A-hole or whatever take that into account before you draft him...you can't turn a whore into a housewife. It might work for a year or two but she will eventually show her true colors.

9. Don't buy the hype follow the gamebooks to determine who is really doing what the media is saying they are doing.

10. Brady will be a more dangerous QB if Branch is traded. Why? Because everyone knows that Brady loves to throw to Branch...without him Brady is a mystery. He will show no preference. Brady forces too many balls to Deon...causing interceptions.

11. Jamal Lewis will mash this year.

12. David Carr still sucks...but Moulds could be a real solid find for him. Back to Carr...a man who beats a woman will always beat a woman no matter how many times he says that he is sorry and that it will never happen again...that is just the way he is. Just like Carr...he says he will improve...the guy just sucks.

13. Lee Evans will blow-up if J.P. Loseman wins the job...if not he won't do squat.

14. Dunn is now a second round pick.

15. Antsports might be the best place to play fantasy football.
