I consistently think about how to value players in a long-term environment like keeper and dynasty leagues. To that end, I would like to open up a discussion: if you used an equation to calculate player value, how would you weight each season? Here are a few examples I can think of..... More...

If you were in dynasty leagues with rookie drafts for 2004 and earlier, please post them here with the league setup. I am gathering information for a future FBG article and data that far back is sparse at best. Thanks in advance and hopefully it will lead to some good dynasty discussion in the...

I wanted to start a discussion about the aging of players. Arian Foster's workload got me thinking about volume back in January. Later this offseason, the backing of Adrian Peterson with a first round startup value in dynasty was confusing to me. Let's throw out some star RBs that remained...

For years I have heard about "playing the matchups" and so-and-so has an easy matchup this week, so try to get them into your lineup. Has anyone seen a study on that subject to show that there is an actual impact when deciding between two players for your starting lineup? I did a quick search...

I have not paid attention in years past, but is there a date where the articles start coming out again?

'Tis the season for early rookie drafts....

Time to kick off the Dynasty Draft season!

This is a dynasty league, 22-man rosters. An owner dropped their kicker and DEF a few weeks ago when they picked up Laurent Robinson and Vincent Brown. The team was winless at the time and a couple games behind even the team in 11th place. Brown and Robinson both score 15+ pts. that week, so...

I first played the auction format in 2010 and one year later, most of the leagues I play are auction leagues. I was tired of being confined to a certain draft slot and constructing a strategy based around who other owners were drafting ahead of me (outside of my control). An auction league...

I convinced a few of the local redraft owners I play in a league with to give dynasty IDP a shot in 2011. We settled on the roster size, scoring, etc. I wanted to know the best way to draft the league. I love the startup drafts I've seen in the other thread with all the trades and strategy...

There has been some discussion about tight ends that aren't the best blockers or that don't block very often when they are on the field recently here in the shark pool. Part of my very large spreadsheet on each position has statistics about how tight ends are used. One stat I like is...

What is the best website, etc. for learning about a player's injury history? For example, not just something that happened recently, but listing, for example, that player X had a knee injury his junior year of college, broke his elbow rookie season in NFL, etc. Maybe with games missed and...

So was digging through some stat's the other day and started thinking about Steve Johnson in 2010. He had a surprising year as a low draft pick on a bad team - amassing over 1000 yards and 10 scores. It was his 3rd NFL season (within the range of the typical breakout pattern for a young...

Curious to hear how everyone creates their positional rankings. What factors? Do you use formulas or just your gut?

First year in a dynasty league and have been researching what rookie draft picks are worth as far as trading for established players. What is the 1.1 pick worth in terms of players? What is the 1.2 pick worth in terms of players? What is the 1.3 pick worth in terms of players? I know the...

My home league will probably be using an email-type draft in 2011. Does anyone use a website or it, or do you just email in your pick to the commish and they forward out info. and do it manually?

I am getting a dynasty league together for the 2011 season - IDP included. The rosters will be 35 players on a team with 25 keepers. So each future year will be 10 rounds of drafting, but the initial draft looks daunting at 35 full rounds of action. Has anyone else participated in a draft...

I will start.... In a keep 6 league, someone offered me B. Edwards for R. Rice. In another keeper, was offered palmer and harvin FOR nicks, d. bryant.

I've watched all the Raiders' games this year (shortcuts), but can't recall what has been up with Zach Miller lately. I know he was dinged up for a while as being nice and hot opening the year. Bloom has him high up on the rankings this week and I wonder what is up with the sudden bounce back...

Does he have any chance to be fantasy relevant again? He looks done.
