"expanded role" (he'll get to play on special teams)
"fully healthy" (if not for his nagging injuries)
"exciting player to watch" (on the practice field)

My brain gives me all the analysis I need. Working on 4 straight title games and 3 out of 4 titles.

Family and friends league?

As much as I love fantasy football, and also appreciate some of the reports that are organized on Rotoworld, It can also be very annoying.


This Josh Norman nonsense is a great example.
Was reported that 8 teams were interested including the Falcons and Jaguars.
Falcons said not us.
Jaguars have the cap space. No thanks tho.
Oh, Saints are interested too. (Now we're up to 9 teams.)
49ers making a "strong push" at Norman. Interest is "lukewarm." 49ers "not expected to make a run" for him.
Skins sign him to 5-year $75 mill. Um, make that 2 years & $36.5 mill.

And that's just Norman.

All of the speculation about QB, RB and WR is mindboggling.
Reports for the same team conflict. It borders on poor-to-negligent reporting just to report something.

Walterfootball each year posts what analysts were right n wrong the most with their pre draft statement ls

Dynasty trade calculator maybe not perfect, but a decent tool to get a 2nd opinion on trades

Came across that a few weeks ago, tried it once then lost the link.

Ran my trade with Treff thru the calculator, looks like Treff really cleaned up (1189 points). Wasn't surprised. Also ran my trade with Monkey thru this and Monkey came out out ahead by a hair (91 points).

I like this calculator I recently found too: Dynasty Trade Calculator - Calculator

They also have rankings and other dynasty news

Never heard of rotogrinders; on my way.

So wait...when you say you like "my fantasy league" is that a site, or do you just enjoy your league?

Good for you! Two pieces of cake make it all even better, sir.

Since I live in the state of Washington, I can't do daily fantasy. So sites like rotogrinder are not of use to me.

So...there is daily fantasy football and sites that cater to it? Lol, I dunno if I can do that or not, but I have no desire to.

Still and all...if Steelers says it is useful for advice, who cares what the intent is?

Because the advice is based on $ values for daily FF. Doesn't really apply for what we do.

Serious question. You use any particular sites to start draft prepping for your fantasy leagues.

Kudos to @SteelersPride for giving this a bump.

Here's a revision to my faves. These are the ones I use most often:

FantasyPros - They provide ECR (Expert Consensus Rankings) from multiple sites into one convenient list. They also provide ADP (Average Draft Position) from various league sites into one list.

Rotoworld - concise news feeds, easily sortable by team or position.

FootballGuys - I like the way they update NFL Depth Charts - and they put them all on one page. Plus they indicate 3rd-down backs and returners which I need in another league.

ProFootball Reference - the most complete statistical reference for the NFL.

ESPN - Can't help but use it since all of my leagues are on ESPN. Don't agree with some of their analysis and projections, but other people do, so it's useful in that respect.​

If its daily, what happens the next day? And I'm not being facetious here...I have no clue as to how this works.

My point here is...if it is updated daily, then it has the freshest, most up to date info, no? I would find that useful, as long as I didn't have to pay for it.

@bksballer89
Other than the sites I listed above, I pretty much rely on my own spreadsheet.
It has the touch leaders (which is my own calculation), snap percentage leaders (from the FootballOutsiders site), offensive rankings, yards-per-game, and 3-year averages for every player (if they have played for at least 3 years). It's a convenient way to look at what I feel is important.
