We last updated the NFC team needs four weeks ago. With the NFL draft just days away, it’s time to see how team rosters have shaped up, and to see how teams are doing addressing their needs and adjusting those needs where need be. It’s also time to comment on what positions teams will likely be targeting in the upcoming NFL draft. Continue reading
We last updated the AFC team needs four weeks ago. With just days to go until the NFL draft, it’s time to see how team rosters have shaped up, and to see how teams are doing addressing their needs and adjusting those needs where need be. Also, now that the most significant free agents have mostly been signed, we will continue to see free agent activity through the so-called “secondary market”, the market that develops following the NFL draft where teams sign remaining free agents. To see the most updated list of free agents (we included some of the more notable defensive free agents too), see this link. Continue reading
With the NFL Draft this week, we felt it time to update the list of free agents available on the offensive side and defensive side of the ball. While the offensive side of the ball tends to be the side most people who play fantasy football are most interested in, free agents on the defensive side of the ball could affect how your team approaches its draft this week, as well as how your team goes about filling out the remainder of their roster needs after the draft. The lists that follow are not exhaustive. Continue reading
When The Fantasy Greek learned of the impending trade of Tim Tebow to the New York Jets, there was a sense of oddness to the deal that seemed to be a bit overtaking. Here was a young, somewhat promising quarterback being shipped off to a team with another young, somewhat promising quarterback. In a way, one couldn’t help but think “Could Tim Tebow make the Jets a better team?” Continue reading
Over-shadowed to some degree by the free agent signings of wide receivers, there has been some significant, material movement of running backs in the NFL. In a new era of pro football which emphasizes the passing game, we are seeing a movement to a running back by committee for most NFL teams. The time when running backs land huge second or third contracts is dying. There are few running backs anymore whose team builds its offense around them. Besides, the running back position is one wrought with injury, many of which are significant. Suffice it to say, just like the real game, the importance of the running back position in fantasy football is changing. While we should not under value the position, we should certainly not over value it either. Continue reading
It’s been a little over a month since our first pre-season fantasy football rankings by position. Since that time, there has been some significant player movement in free agency. Peyton Manning had us holding our breath and speculating what team he would sign with before deciding to sign with the Broncos. Vincent Jackson is no longer a member of the Chargers, but now a member of the Buccaneers. Brandon Marshall has joined Jay Cutler on the Bears. Tim Tebow is now a Jet. Randy Moss a Forty-Niner. There are many more players on new teams. And, it’s not over. In roughly three weeks, the NFL Draft will determine the starting point of many young careers. Continue reading
