If you need some insight in what rookies to draft this year and how I predict they perform fantasy-wise this season, please read my rookie reports.

I will dissect at least two rookies per week by looking at their skill set, figuring out their role for this year, making a reasonable estimate for their production, and comparing them to a player you already know.  Just follow the link here: here: http://www.fantasyalarm.com/weekly-nfl-rookie-draft-dynasty-report/

Inside the Mind of a (so called) Dynasty Expert

It’s been a while since I posted anything here, so to get over some writer’s block – I figured I’d share some of my thoughts about some drafts I am right in the middle of.

Oh, and I’ve probably said it before, but I hate the term ‘expert’. I don’t ever refer myself as one (well except for this post title), and it’s a phrase used way to often in my opinion. If you guys only knew the small differences between you and myself. I am not any smarter than anyone else, but I do invest a lot of time researching and studying – so maybe that’s where I can get an edge.

Anyways, I digress. I did want to post about some of the rookie and start up drafts I am involved in now. I have had one rookie draft wrap up already, another is ongoing, and I am right in the thick of a startup draft:

PFF Fantasy: Dynasty Slants – Breakout Candidates: QB Jake Locker

The period between free agency and the NFL Draft is my favorite time of year as a dynasty owner. There is a lot of uncertainty regarding the upcoming season. Dynasty owners thrive on the uncertainty by crunching statistics and reading over team reports to find the next breakout players.

Around this time each year, I target a few players in my dynasty leagues that have breakout potential. Some of it is based on gut feelings, but mostly from watching game footage and finding players that have excelled in a limited role. Over the next few weeks, I will cover players I have targeted for my own teams. Last time I covered tight end Kyle Rudolph. Next up on my list of breakout candidates is Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker.

PFF Fantasy: Dynasty Slants – Ranking Kenny Britt

Now that the Super Bowl is over, we can finally close the book the 2011 season. It is easy to forget we almost did not have football this year due to the lockout, and we still had one of the most exciting seasons in recent memory. While many fantasy football owners go into hibernation in the off-season, dynasty owners are just getting started for 2012 and beyond.

Last weekend I published the first edition of my 2012 dynasty rankings. You may find where I rank some players surprising, but a lot can change with free agency and the NFL Draft. Read the rest of this entry at PFF Fantasy»
