Fantasy Football: What We Learned

If you recall, I was toying this offseason with a spreadsheet to rank players for my fantasy drafts.  I leisurely followed my pre-rankings with how things turned out at the end of the season to test the validity.  On running backs, I failed miserably and need to study the final rankings to see if I can […]

Fantasy Strategy: Running Backs

Now, we’ve had a little time for things to shake out and my original rankings are all over the place at this point.  Some have worked well like the WR, where I projected Brandon Marshall and Greg Jennings as the best value picks.  And some not so much, like the RB, where I wasn’t so high […]

Fantasy Football WRs: The Final Big Board

I used a similar format for ranking the WRs, but simply tweaked the criteria a little.  I’m not going to do the QBs, TEs, Def or Kickers.  There seems to be a level of consistency with regards to consistently good or consistently shitty and most of you know what you’re getting.  You’re guess is as […]

Fantasy Football RBs: The Final Big Board

Time for more Fantasy Football. Also, check out the WR’s.
I used a method this year of statistical analysis to eliminate some of the crapshoot picks.  It’s not the Bible by any means, but it might keep you from drafting Maurice Jones-Drew as anything more than a flex back.  Here are the criteria:
Games over 10 […]

Fantasy Football Ticker: A Look at Running Backs

I’ll start off by saying I have a fucking overwhelmingly gay love for Fantasy Football.  Alright, I said it.  With the season quickly approaching, I find it useful to start a thread that allows the cumulative knowledge of the football brain trust that is  Barking Carnival to share their thoughts.  I’ve always been a big believer in going heavy on RBs in […]

Mack Brown’s Whiff All-Stars

The loss of Russell Shepard got me a-wonderin’ about how good a team full of guys that rejected us (or vice versa) would be. So, I’ve done my best to make a list. Just imagine how good the team of OU or A&M misses would be. Epic.

Chasing Fantasy Role Players on Campus

Scipio did a fine job breaking down fantasy football for you NFL junkies. I have no aspirations of such. In fact, I gave up NFL fantasy football the year the Texans got to seven wins. Apropos, I suppose as the Texans and Charlie Casserly gave up on the NFL that same year.
I […]

Exploiting Fantasy Football Innumeracy: How To Pants People in Jorts

The NFL owes a tremendous debt to the numerous fat dudes in starter jerseys and jorts who follow fantasy football with the rigor and passion with which Ohio St fans burn couches - not coincidentally, also fat dudes clad in starter jerseys and jorts.
Correlation and causation have a way of blending there. […]
