Im a big fan of this site. Ive been a member for many years (so nothing personal "footballguys"). But i've been wondering lately if fantasy advice is past the point of being the helpful tool it once was.
I also subscribe to a couple other sites and this is why I ask:
So what does this all mean? I dont know. I know that everyone in my league also subscribes to experts. So far my league is a mess. The guy winning is the least clued in guy -- Drafted Brees #1 overall, and the Seahawks in the 7th round. But he's leading so far.
This isnt a rant. I'm 1-2 but I took alot of risks in the draft because i think thats the only way to really win since most everyone is following the same advice these days. Then its a bunch of luck.
But i just keep wondering, is there too much info out there now?
I also subscribe to a couple other sites and this is why I ask:
- For any given player and any given game you can find legit industry experts diametrically opposed to each other -- an in some cases absolutely dismissive of the other "experts" position
- In the cases where there's actual industry consensus (for example, Alex Smith will feast on Philly) you still have shocking misses
- The NFL itself is so unpredicatable even at a team vs team level, can you really confidently, consistently predict player performance?Obviously Im talking on the margin -- choosing btw QB 4 and QB 8 in a given week, not btw Brees or Pryor
