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
