To be honest .....I think many of us consider ourselves pretty good fantasy players if we are even hanging out here....at it’s core back in the day.....this place was kind of a secret we wanted to keep from our league mates.....I know it was for me.. (it still kinda is to me in some weird way)....this place was like our ace in the hole....our “cheat sheets” and weekly information were better than everyone else.....league mates were wondering where we got our info cause we we always seemed to have the awesome sleepers that paid off, we scooped up the WW gold that paid off way before anybody else, or whatever.... and what made this place the bomb was it gave us that huge draft day advantage with customized VBD (term credited to the site....and now basic FF lingo...#golf clap)...
but the playing field has leveled and there are no secrets and some of the articles you see here can be found elsewhere in much the same language.....the secret advantage has lost some luster...
buts that’s ok.....it really is....in today’s world we can’t expect FBG to have any better information than anybody else..(unless you have the Vegas guys on payroll)....
that was a long way of saying.....at this point ....I’d really like to see a HEAVY focus each week on the “flex” area guys.....we all know to start the top guys at each position and I don’t need an upgrade or downgrade on the studs......I need that last flex spot that could maybe be my third RB....my third or fourth WR with a great matchup ......or that second TE that FBG had ranked pretty high before the draft that has been ballin on my bench.....the early stuff and studs are chalk.....its often the flex area and that great start/sit call that makes a difference in a win or a loss...
