You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.
Read Matthew Berry's Hundred Little Lies on ESPN. Some were very interesting.
Those touting Vernon Davis' monster potential may like this one (#98):
Fourteen, zero, one, zero, one, two, zero. Those are Vernon Davis' weekly fantasy-point totals in the regular season starting in Week 11, when Kaepernick took over as the starting quarterback.
For those who think TD's are something to bank on, you may like #97:
from 2002 to 2011, 70 different wide receivers had 10-touchdown seasons, and 53 of them (or 76 percent) did not have double-digit touchdowns the following season.
Was not a fan of Carson Palmer until I read #90:
playing with not a single wide receiver as good as Fitzgerald, completed 61.1 percent of his passes, threw for more than 4,000 yards and had 22 touchdowns.
Don't feel good about Alex Smith? You might after reading # 66:
Over the past nine seasons, Andy Reid offenses have been top-10 in the NFL in passing yards eight times.
Don't like Spiller? (Like me.) Chew on #34:
Last season, with new Bills coach Doug Marrone as their coach, the Syracuse Orange ran the ball 555 times, ...63 more times than any other team in the Big East.
Have you jumped on Luck's bandwagon? Read #23:
Of Luck's 4,374 passing yards last season, 2,636 (60.2 percent) came when the Colts were playing from behind.
Cobb seems to be hyped pretty high in the rankings. Guess which QB-WR combo has the highest percentage? Extrapolating information from #1 & #2, Rodgers completes more than 72.7 of his passes to Nelson, which is tops in the NFL.
Unrelated to Mr. Berry's list, I have an observation of my own.
Being a Bears fan, it's nice to see fantasy owners buying into the hoped-for improved offense of Trestman. Marshall, Forte, Jeffery and even Bennett are ranked nicely. But no love for Jay? If these other Bears are gonna put up fantasy-relevant numbers, then Jay will have to have a decent year. No?
(Keep in mind that I personally have Jay ranked 15th among QB.)
I thought I heard a rumor on sports-talk radio this afternoon that Harvin may need hip surgery. Haven't checked it out. Maybe I heard wrong?
Maybe I need to bump up my usage numbers thread?
