Don't post much, but I've been around here for quite a while and wanted to throw out an idea that I would love to see FBGs latch onto. Every year I wait and wait through May and June for the 'good' fantasy football magazines to come out. This year I purchased the FBG mag via the site and am pretty impressed by the contents. One thing that is harped on in the magazine, here on the boards, and pretty much throughout FBGs is the importance of making projections. I happen to agree. I read a VBD article by Joe back in the cheatsheets.net days and have been doing projections ever since. As a matter of fact, the ONLY reason I buy a FF magazine every year is to do projections (hate to sit in front of the computer and do them). I don't really need the cheatsheets, articles, mock drafts, etc, etc. This is in no way intended to be a knock on the FBG magazine. All of these things are included in the mag and are very well done. It's just not why I personally made the purchase.
With that in mind, what are the possibilities of making some sort of downloadable package available for working on projections - for a fee of course, but presumably cheaper than the full blown magazine. I'm not talking the Projection Dominator here. What I mean is something that would include player profiles with stat boxes, team profiles to include a blurb on the coaching and week by week stats from the previous year. The offensive line table in this year's mag would be valuable, don't even necessarily need all the words to go with it. Just a bare bones package in a printable format that includes all the info a guy would need to do projections, without all the extras that come in the magazine. In preparing the FBG magazine, you guys are already doing all the hard work necessary to throw this together. Plus, without the time to put the finishing touches on the magazine, printing time, and mailing time, this could be made available for download several weeks in advance of the magazine coming out.
Once the NFL draft is over I'm always chomping at the bit to start working on my projections. But so far I have never had the tools at my disposal to do this until early July when I get my hands on a decent magazine. I would very much like to solve this problem.
Thoughts? Anyone else share this problem?

ay close attention to CBS sportsline, and whomever Scott Engel says is a 'bust','flop' 'has-been', make sure you pick up that player. Do the same with NFL.com's Mike Fabiano, and always go against ANYTHING espn.com's fantasy link recommends doing.you're guaranteed to have the best team and will cruise to a league championship..
