What pre-draft research was most helpful? (1 Viewer)

[MOAT]

It is only halfway through the season but I can look back to a single pre-draft article that convince me to change my draft strategy. I don't even remember WHERE I saw it but it was all about the RBBC. The article suggested that you stop trying to fight the RBBC that teams were going to. It listed those team where there was a clear front-running for the most of the carries. I decided to go WR and QB early (which I had never done before) and didn't even touch the RBs until Cedric Benson, Kevin Smith, etc started showing up. I now have a untouchable stable of WRs in a TD heavy league and RBs that get nearly all of their team rushing TDs. I like my chances this year.

Anyone else got pre-draft research that convinced them to go one direction or another and it paid off?

For me (dynasty league), I read up a lot on the Sigmund Bloom assessments of the rookies. In the world of group-think, his insights seem to be one of the foundations.

I also like to follow the offensive line changes which helps to determine the success of the running game. I'm firmly convinced that Adrian Peterson would be an RB2 on a poor blocking team.

Waldman's article's always have me thinking differently. The training camp reports are to me the best stuff....insight you don't get from blog's or pre-season games.

For me it was watching games from last year rather then reading articles or looking at box scores
