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/

More 2012 rookie rankings and a 2012 start-up dynasty draft

If you want more rookie ranking that include an IDP spin (my top 60 rookies) or you want some 2012 dynasty draft strategy (draft ended second week in May) , please read my blog at fantasyalarm.com: http://www.fantasyalarm.com/weekly-nfl-rookie-draft-dynasty-report/  I write two new articles at least every week.  Follow me on twitter and ask questions of an eight year dynasty owner at @AndrewMiley.

My Dynasty Thoughts are continued at FantasyAlarm

Some have asked: “Andy, do you write anymore about dynasty?”  Yes, I still write about everything dynasty at www.fantasyalarm.com.  You can click on http://tiny.cc/6ijibw to go right to my weekly offseason column.  I will be starting up the podcast again closer to the NFL Draft.  Also make sure you listen to: Under The Helmet”-@PFF_Fantasy Dynasty Podcast at 6:30pm EST this Thursday. iTunes/BTR w/ Special Guest @AndrewMiley http://bit.ly/GBYxJI

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»

PFF Fantasy: Dynasty League Viewer’s Guide to Super Bowl XLVI

The Super Bowl provides dynasty league owners one last shot to scout prospective players before the next season begins. While your family and friends are talking about the commercials or rooting for their favorite team in the game – take careful note of some of the under-the-radar players. Last year I told you to keep an eye on WR Antonio Brown of the Steelers. Who will rise from relative obscurity this year to become another star? Read the rest of this entry at PFF Fantasy »

Reviewing the Unexpected

As we approach the end of December, it is assessment time for those in the corporate world. Just as our employers monitor our performance and progress for the year, as dynasty league owners we need to assess our rosters. The goal is to have consistent and effective production.   In the corporate world you cannot be successful if you have high productivity, but poor quality – the same applies to football rosters. Having inconsistent performances week to week makes it difficult to succeed as a team.

Using the premium data we have at Pro Football Focus I will explore if several surprise players this year will be overvalued for next year.  Here are the slants for this week: Read the rest of this entry at PFF Fantasy »

Planning for 2012

Despite all of our planning, researching, projecting and analyzing – at the end of the day no one truly knows what will happen tomorrow unless you have a crystal ball or a Delorean.   Injuries result in disappointing performances and produce breakout candidates from nowhere.  If injuries are not enough to drive a fantasy owner crazy there is another element that cannot be quantified – luck. The best way to eliminate luck in dynasty leagues is to have the deepest roster possible. By hoarding talent, it is easier to weather the storm of untimely injuries or significant depth chart changes.

This week I will highlight players that will help build out the end of your roster. In addition, I will cover several players whose value has improved significantly over the past two months. Here are the slants this week: Read the rest of this entry at PFF Fantasy »

Dynasty Rookie Player Comparisons

Looking for my thoughts on what current players the 2011 NFL Draft class reminds me of using the premium data at Pro Football Focus?

PFF Fantasy: Dynasty Slants – The Sky Is Not Falling

“Look at things not as they are, but as they can be.” – David J. Schwartz

We’ve all had bad days at the office. Right in the thick of things, we are shortsighted and think things cannot possible get better. In reality, bad days happen to everyone and football players are no different. Even elite-level players struggle from time to time, but they always bounce back.

For some elite players in dynasty leagues, the season has not gone as planned, but there is hope after a closer look at the numbers. Here are the slants this week: Read the rest of this entry at PFF Fantasy »
