Sam Bradford, 2013 Fantasy Sleeper

As I sit here watching another episode of Fringe on Netflix - please don't disappoint me like you did with Lost, J.J. Abrams! - it comes to my attention that a lot happens around us that we don't notice or analyze for what it is. We go about our merry way, oblivious to the changes going on around us. Well for that reason, you can shave my whole body and call me The Observer because I'm witnessing something that seems to be drifting under the radar of most fantasy footballers. It's happening in St Louis and hopefully it happens on your team for this season. I speak of none other than Sam Bradford. I know, much maligned and a ne'er do well on the lips of many who've drafted him in the past but I see a brighter future for the 2013 Fantasy Football season and beyond. Follow the typed word into the next paragraph if you wish to know more or run in fear from the unknown of which I'm about to lay upon you...

It Is Only Ahmad-er Of Time

by: Sky

As I'm typing this, Ahmad Bradshaw and the Colts are in 'heavy negotiations' for Ahmad to be in Indy for 2013 and it makes me ask the question 'what exactly does heavy negotiations mean?' Are you all just farting around the rest of the time having light negotiations? We weren't really serious the two days prior. In fact, we were really just here for the bottled water and muffins but now we're, like, totally into it. In either case, I'm gonna live dangerously and say that this deal will be done before I'm finished typing this paragraph and if it isn't, well I ain't deletin' $hit cuz I do believe Bradshaw will officially be a Colt prior to training camp which officially means Vick Ballard will go slide, slide, slippety slide in our 2013 Fantasy Football Rankings this year. Not that I was high on him to begin with but I will admit he felt like a safe RB2 type this year when I wrote my Vick Ballard Fantasy over the off-season. With Ahmad's eventual signing, we now have an embarrassment of riches at the RB position to start the year and I'll admit it has me giddy like a school girl and no doubt you as well. Wanna braid hair together? Eh, I said 'LIKE a school girl', imaginary reader. Oh, so I guess going to the little girls room to talk is out of question now... Indeed it is, I.R., indeed it is. But where was I? Oh yeah, Ahmad on the Colts makes sense. Just realize Ahmad has only played one full season over the course of 6 years so you're gonna need to handcuff him with Ballard or possibly Donald Brown if something goes awry in training camp. But enough about that, let's take a look at some other news that's happened for the 2013 fantasy football season...

2013 Defensive Lineman Rankings – Watt, Me Worry?

June 7, 2013 | 2013 Fantasy Football, 2013 Fantasy Football Rankings, IDP Rankings | 6 Comments

by: Kevin Kumpf

As we start rolling out the 2013 IDP Rankings here at Razzball, I thought I would start with the easiest position first. JJ Watt is the consensus #1 IDP this year, and his 2012 numbers were even more impressive than those of Calvin Johnson and Adrian Peterson considering he was a 3-4 Defensive End. While you might have trouble deciding between a gamut of players to take first at any other position, you can rest easy knowing that Watt should be the first DL taken and that it took me three tries before correctly spelling gamut.

Position Battle Watch: Vick Vs Foles

If you’re a Fantasy Football addict – and I believe in your ability to be one and that you are – you’re no doubt aware of some shenanigans going on in the Eagles’ OTAs right now. But before we get all worried and weirded out – and why would you, you haven’t drafted yet – let’s review a bit of what I said earlier in the season when the Eagles signed Michael Vick from this post here…

So in order to talk about Vick’s fantasy impact in 2013, we do have to discuss his contract and it’s particulars…$1.5 million…’bad contract’…Honey Boo Boo Child’s bank account…

Hrm, I need to do a better job about what I select when reviewing apparently. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Dynasty Tight End Rankings: Where It’s Jimmy Graham And Then Everyone Else

June 5, 2013 | 2013 Dynasty Rankings, 2013 Fantasy Football | 2 Comments

by: murph

With the NFL season approaching - and by approaching I mean it's never going to get here! - we get to finish off the dynasty rankings with what might be one of the most painful positions to try to manage in fantasy football. In the past few years, the tight end position has gone from extremely unimportant to now the focal point of many offenses, making the position in fantasy football much more relevant. Unfortunately the talent that is available is extremely top heavy, leaving only a few options that you have to spend either a lot of money on in an auction draft or a high pick in a start up. My recommendation? If you miss out on the Top 2, and with Rob Gronkowski's health in question, maybe just the Top 1, you have to look to add multiple options and look to find the next great option to help your team become dominant. Let's take a look at the dynasty tight end rankings and some options that could rise to the top of the rankings in the near future and long term.

Where have I seen this name before? *Riffles thru notes* Ah here it is! Hrm, that's nice and all but I seem to remember seeing it somewhere else... *Riffles thru more notes* Ah yes here, I knew the title of this post sounded familiar. BTW, do you know the difference between 'riffle' and 'rifle'? I didn't until today and now I have something to talk about at the next fantasy football expert cocktail party:

And so it begins. What once was a quaint and quiet summer turns it's sun-squinting eyes towards fall and all the joy it entails. Look beyond your fun in the sun and trudge with me into the cold, crisp quiet of the Autumnal turn towards the gridiron as we inspect the players you're going to put at the top of your draft queue. Fear not, rugged nobleman, for this journey - though long - will have a guide. A guide who is here to keep you on the path towards glory and - if the Lord wills it - victory and all the fruits that go with it. Your goblets forever filled with mead and your women (or men) scantily clad while they feed you grapes and shizz...sorry, ran out of steam on this epic yarn inspired by really liking LOTR-type movies and things. You ever notice how actors do movies like that with weird British accents even when the characters aren't actually British? Is Brit supposed to be the tone you go for when you're trying to sound serious? Why not Australian? I believed Rocko when he told ME garbage day was a very dangerous day...wait, where was I? Oh yeah, let's kick this off right with a look at the top 10 players for the 2013 fantasy football season...
