My favorite article each year was the crowdsourcing of FB staff selecting players who are undervalued, overrated or deep sleepers. https://www.footballguys.com/article/2021-11-quarterback-values I am just wondering if it is going to appear this year! It alone, in my view, is worth the price...

Long-time reader, first (or almost) first time poster. As we near the season where (especially in dynasty) teams are looking to trade their way into a position for a fantasy playoff run, I was wondering what folks' thoughts were about the prospect that McVay might sit Gurley (or for that matter...

Hey everyone, Many of us have been eyeing Martellus Bennett, but his last couple preseason games were plagued by drops and a fumble, after which he was pulled from the rest of the game.  There are whispers out of camp of motivation issues.  We've all been burned by Belichick zigging when the...

Hi everyone, For those of us in leagues with settings that produce larger than usual DST scores, such that the DST position is unusually significant, the preseason can be instructive.   It feels like each year, there is a sleeper DST or two that distinguishes itself with stout team defense...

For those of us in 2 QB or superflex leagues: Who are the top backup QBs worth rostering in a draft due to some combo of likelihood to start/likely fantasy performance of they do start? Does the list look something like: Geno Smith Mark Sanchez Colt McCoy EJ Manuel Jimmy Calusen

Hi everyone, One of the core challenges of fantasy is anticipating when the numbers of elite players will start to fall off with age/injury. This question has me starting to waver when it comes to Jordy Nelson. There are a few items that give me pause. 1. He has turned 30. 2. He had...

This year, identifying the emergent DST sleepers seems to be a particular challenge. Who is this year's Cincinnati? Have any defenses actually distinguished themselves in the preseason? A lot of folks are discussing NO and NE, but neither seemed to be lights out in the first half of preseason...

Hey everyone, I love this site and the Shark Pool, and have been a member for years. This is the best site for fantasy hands down. However, one thing that has surprised me about the site is the lack of attention to DSTs. For example, DSTs do not appear on the staff's...

One powerful strategy in dynasty leagues is to draft, on the cheap, the back-ups who are likely to emerge the following year as top free agents who will secure starting jobs and, potentially, fantasy relevance. Who do we anticipate may emerge in 2013 as that year's Michael Turner, Matt Flynn...

The Houston Texans defense has looked lights out this year, with a shift to a 3-4, the return of key players from injuries, and the addition of two quality players in the secondary (Joseph and Manning) remaking what was the 30th ranked defense last year. The only apparent potential weakness is...

Given what we have seen so far, who among Gabbert, Kapernick, Locker, Ponder and Tebow do we think are most likely to emerge as starting QBs in 2012? (By way of background, I am in a dynasty league where one can start multiple QBs.) Gabbert and Kaepernick showed flashes of talent early in the...

Hi everyone, Do people think there are any defenses that until now have been putting up bottom 15 points/stats but that either due to injuries, schedule, or other factors, could be top 10 for the second half of the year? One possibility might be the Panthers defense, which always had potential...

Hi everyone, I am in a league where defenses are valuable and most teams keep two defenses on their roster. I need to clear up some roster space for injuries and I am trying to decide what to do with the 49ers defense. Their schedule is still as attractive as ever, but they have shown an...

Does anyone have a sense of what happened to Lance Moore? Many here anticipated that he would play a prominent role in the absence of Reggie Bush. Do NO homers have any insight (beyond the general view that Brees spreads it around and so no WRs other than Colston are reliable there)?

For those of us in QB-focused leagues: What is the likelihood that the team gives the reins back to Moore at some point this season? Maybe some Panthers homers can chime in: How committed is the team to starting Clausen the rest of the way?

Which of Cook, Gresham and Pettigrew are most likely to become fantasy relevant for the 2011 season? (And should this power sleeper list be expanded to include Hernandez?)

Hi everyone, Can any Minnesota homers (or others) provide their latest sense on the likelihood that Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels will be the QB in Minnesota next year, and therefore a shark pick-up in the last round of dynasty drafts this year? Has the team given every signal that it is...

Has anyone examined the average fantasy impact of an NFL player having home field advantage in a given week? Instinctively, I think most of us will favor a player with a home game in a given week if given a choice, holding everything else constant, but I am wondering if the impact of playing at...

A big part of dynasty is obviously finding tomorrow's stars today. So which current backup QBs are best positioned to emerge as fantasy relevant QBs in 2011 (a la Kolb and Rodgers from the last few years). A couple of possibilities may be Dennis Dixon (free agency) and Tavaris Jackson or Sage...

Hey everyone, This has almost certainly been discussed before but I didn't have much luck finding it, so I thought I would throw it out to the group: What are some of the best ways for thinking about how to incorporate flex position needs into VBD analysis? Is there a passable way to do this...
