Unless you’re in a playoff league your fantasy football season ended sometime in the last couple of weeks. Maybe you’re probably a little bit burned out and ready to set the competition aside for a couple weeks. But if you’re like me, you never really stop trying to glean that last piece of knowledge that will give you the edge you need to win your league(s).
So, to start your reading entertainment for the week, we’ve again contacted Ryan Boser, a sports blogger and staff writer for Bruno Boys, for his thoughts on the end of the 2011 fantasy season and on what might happen in the year ahead.
We’re jumping the gun here, without a doubt, since the real playoffs just got underway and the draft and free agency are still several months away. But it’s never too early to start thinking about next year.
Here’s what Ryan had to say:
Zoneblitz: Michael Vick in 2011 became the most recent poster child for chasing one really good season in fantasy drafts. Whose 2011 stat lines will you not be chasing in 2012? Continue reading
Was recently introduced to a style of playoff fantasy football that I had not seen before, and wanted to get some additional opinions on strategy from other readers.
Basically, you pick a full team (2 QB, 3 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Kicker, 1 Def/ST, 1 Wild Card), but you must select one (and only one) from each team in the playoffs–and any person in the league can choose the same guy (ie, everyone would presumably want Drew Brees).
Let’s assume a standard scoring for this (6 pts/TD, 4 pts/passing TD, 1 pt/10 yards rushing/receiving, 1 pt/25 yards passing, etc).
Here’s the lineup I came up with:
| Green Bay: | Rodgers, QB |
| San Francisco: | Gore, RB |
| New Orleans: | Brees, QB |
| NY Giants: | Cruz, WR |
| Atlanta: | Gonzalez, TE |
| Detroit: | C. Johnson, WR |
| New England: | Brady, Wildcard |
| Baltimore: | Rice, RB |
| Houston: | Foster, RB |
| Denver: | Prater, K |
| Pittsburgh: | Defense/Special Teams |
| Cincinnati: | AJ Green, WR |

I’m going to keep doing this even though I’m not really certain this format is really providing much of a service. I’m thinking of moving more in the direction of just searching for sleepers, which may be of more value — particularly during byes, which start this week.
But in the meantime: Continue reading
Okay, it’s the fourth week of the season now and you can start to see some patterns emerging that will help guide fantasy decisions from here to the end of the year. It’s been another tough week to break away but here are some thoughts.
In the meantime, if you read this post and you think there are ways this could be improved and actually provide something not provided elsewhere, please feel free to drop a comment… thanks.
Sorry to the person relying on this info. Moving week. Haven’t been able to get away for long periods of time.

Quarterback: Matthew Stafford, Detroit vs Minnesota — For the second straight week Detroit gets a reeling team with a beat up and questionable secondary. Stafford will feast on the likes of Chris Cook and Cedric Griffin and if Calvin Johnson doesn’t have a big day (though I think he will) his counterparts in Titus Young, Nate Burleson and Brandon Pettigrew should. Stafford eclipses 300 yards with a minimum of two touchdowns, probably more. Continue reading
