IDP Scoring and Comparison

Fantasy Football with Individual Defensive Players (IDP) is on the rise.  Some of the traditional fantasy footballers do not want to make the jump.  Not wanting to make the jump is different than not knowing how to make the jump.  We have found that some Owners and Commissioners would like to make the change and begin using defensive players but the unknown scares them off.  For the Football Jabber Fantasy Football Strategy Playbook today we will look at setting up scoring for your league and compare how some of the defensive players match up to offensive players to give you a better idea of a players value when drafting.  To get more of an idea on the basics there is a link to an earlier Football Jabber article at the bottom of the page that will be helpful.

Fantasy Football Auction Prep

The Fantasy Football Auction.  So great they say that you will never want to go back to a fantasy football draft again.  Pure edge of your seat, adrenaline pumping, laugh in the face of your buddy excitement from start to finish.  Everyone has an equal shot at every player on the board.  Your in on every pick, no more waiting around.  You have more control over your team than letting the league dictate who falls to you.  Yes, the Auction can be all these great things but can also be a big pain if you are not prepared.

Rankings| Fantasy RB Average Carries Compared to Carries Lost

The Full-Time Fantasy Running Back has become a bit of a rarity. More teams are going to a Running Back by Committee approach and carries are getting lost on third down and at the Goal Line as well. How does this effect your fantasy RB? Sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes it is nerve racking. Carries don’t mean everything, right? But sometimes you just have to think that if your guy is touching the ball more there is more opportunity than if he is on the bench.

Fantasy Football Tip of the Day#7

Have you went by some of the mainstream Fantasy Football pages and noticed how old some of their articles are? For example, one of the three featured articles listed under the Fantasy Football Columnists at ESPN’s Fantasy Football Frontpage is dated March 6th at the time we write this on June 11th. That’s no good if you want fresh fantasy info right now, is it? Leave the mainstream babble to your league mates. Let’s talk about a place that is going to have fresh content links for you. You can even get in on how worthy you think the info is by voting.

Fantasy Football Tip of the Day#6

Would you agree that one of the most important things in drafting a fantasy football player is the time they are going to see on the field? Seriously (I heard a big “Well DUH…” through my speakers) this is pretty important. We know who all the studs are but later in the draft, especially in deep drafts, you need to know who is going to see the field. If your watching for potential sleepers before the draft or even in-season, you need to know who is getting set up to take the field. One twisted ankle of a so, so, fantasy baller can put the next surprise, breakout, fantasy sleep on the field…which brings us to the link of the day.

Fantasy Football Tip #5

One of the pains of running a fantasy league can be collecting the money from the owners (Disclaimer-Not talking gambling here, we are only collecting to pay for the league ). It can be a pain for both the person collecting the money and the people that have to pay. Let’s be honest, most people that are hanging on to the money over the course of the season may have to protect it from a significant other who may have access to the account it is stored. On the end of the payee, your banking on one person to hold on to this cash.  It appears that there may be an online solution that has Fantasy Football specifically in mind.

Fantasy Football Tip of the Day #4

We pretty much know when a Running Back is talented, right?  Many Fantasy Football owners draft a RB on name and reputation of past performance.  Why not have a little more of an edge on draft day and take into consideration the Offensive line that the runner is lined up behind?  For example, we know that Larry Johnson is a pretty decent RB.  He has a reputation for past performance.  What we also have learned is that he is running behind one of the worst O-Lines in the league.  Of course this comes into play when drafting a QB as well.
