2012 Player Spotlight Series

It's that time again!

The Player Spotlight series is a chance for intense, focused discussion about a given player or positional battle. As always, we're targeting discussions covering the top players at each position, in addition to key sleepers and a number of committee situations where the winner (if there is one) is likely to emerge as key fantasy contributor.

Each week, we will post a series of threads and, at the end of the week, a staff writer will posit his own detailed views on the situation in an article featured on the main website. As part of the article, we will choose a number of the best quotes and blurbs from the thread and highlight them. We will also compile a consensus projections from those submitted in the thread.

The Specifics

Each article will include:

[*]Detailed viewpoint from a Footballguys staff member

[*]Highlighted member commentary from the message board threads

[*]FBG Projections

[*]Consensus Member Projections

Here are examples of what to expect from the finished articles:

[*]2011 Player Spotlight -- QB Matt Cassel, Kansas City Chiefs

[*]2011 Player Spotlight -- RB Rashard Mendenhall, Pittsburgh Steelers

[*]2011 Player Spotlight -- WR A.J. Green, Cincinnati Bengals

Im not seeing the player write-ups. The links just takes me to last years stats.

Awesome threads, makes it easier to state your POV and keeps everything organized and together. These threads can be a valuable resource in here.

When will the first round of spotlights be written?

does anyone know when the spotlights begin?

Can we get a thread on the Lion RB situation?
