Overrated Players for 2014: Sad Eyes All Around

April 30, 2014 | 2014 Fantasy Football, Overrated | 6 Comments

All good things must come to an end, including stud football players that have put up big numbers for the last five years. One of the most difficult parts of fantasy sports is predicting the decline of great players. It has to happen, and in the NFL, it usually comes out of no where. Here are a couple of players that are going to take a step back this year and one young player that may play like an old man...

Underrated Players for 2014: Rolling Down The Rivers

April 28, 2014 | 2014 Fantasy Football, Underrated |

by: Doc Matt

With the NFL schedule being recently introduced and the draft only about a week away, we are officially approaching the "pre-pre" season of the NFL. The kids are only a couple months from being dismissed for summer break and before we know it, camp will open. It is fun during this time of year to ponder on the upcoming diamonds in the rough. While some of the names on this list are well known, they are beginning to be overlooked by fantasy gurus across the web. I want to bring them back to the light and explain how they will be fantasy relevant once again. As you will see, the players are mentioned by position with the standard scoring format in mind. I am keeping this first installment for the QBs, RBs, and WRs.

Ware Did They End Up: 2014 IDP Free Agency Recap

April 23, 2014 | 2014 Fantasy Football, IDP Report |

by: Kevin Kumpf

Now that the dust has settled on the annual money grab that is NFL Free Agency, it’s time to take a step back and see how it affects IDP leagues. As is often the case, the biggest headlines on ESPN don’t have much impact on the IDP world (I’m looking at you Revis), but there are some significant change that took place. Whether you are in a dynasty league and taking stock of your current roster, or you’re just addicted to IDP and want to adjust your way-too-early 2014 rankings, here is what you need to know:

Final Fantasy: Matt Ryan

by: Fantasy with Dase or Days

Welcome to the new off-season series, aptly named ‘Final Fantasy’. In this series, Razzball will be focusing the spotlight on certain players that either exceeded or fell-by-the-wayside of our expectations, and we’ll briefly touch them with our thoughts, legally. Despite rumor (and the series name), we will not be discussing anything +5 to magic missile. Unless there’s actually a NFL player that shoots missiles. And has, like, an amulet to vitality or something like that. Michael Vick’s minus-98 amulet of dog-caring will be excluded in this particular instance. Regardless, let’s get to the spotlight for today, and that’s Matt Ryan.

New York, Stock Up On Canned Goods, CJ2K Is Approaching

Well, who woulda thought, something in the NFL of consequence has actually happened. It's been days. DAYS! I mean, there was Antonio Cromartie's birthday bash in Vegas with his wife and pals. By pals, I'm assuming they are referring to his bakers dozen amount of kids. The party had quite the twist too (because Vegas: where twists are legal and cost five dollars), with Cromartie receiving lap-dances from "little people" dressed up as Rihanna and Kayne. Daw, never change Antonio Cromartie. Never change. Not be outdone, Bill Belichick's birthday also came and went. It should be noted that his party consisted of a whole lot of this. Please note, Belichick's birthday suit is like everybody else's, just with more hoodie. And then there was also RG3 releasing a new logo, which is, well, bold I guess. Seeing as how the Starks in Game of Thrones have a logo, and they totally suck at that game. And, of course, the Nazi's had a logo too. So good luck with that. Anyhow, since none of these things had anything to do with fantasy football, we were left waiting, then finally, yesterday happened... and that was Chris Johnson signing a two year deal with the New York Jets. Don't everyone jump for joy all at once...

Top 20 Defensive Backs For 2013 Fantasy Football

April 16, 2014 | 2013 Fantasy Football, 2013 Fantasy Football Rankings, IDP Rankings |

by: Kevin Kumpf

With all the free agency chaos that has been engulfing the league in the last month, it’s easy to forget about the season that just ended. This will be the culmination of the positional recaps here at Razzball, and honestly it’s about time. When these recaps started, Sky was still running the show, Nick Capozzi was still in Canada, and Jay and I had never met (Note: We still have not met). Things have changed in the IDP world as well. Some of these guys are already on different teams, and others have seen their teams go out and sign players who will potentially replace them in 2014. Such is life for DBs in IDP leagues. These recaps will focus mostly on how each player landed in the top-20 last year, and whether or not they can do it again in 2014. Spoiler alert: a lot of them can’t.

No Sugar Tonight: Overrated Players For 2014

Although this is my first rodeo with Razzball, it's not my first rodeo when it comes to writing about the NFL. One thing that I have learned about fantasy guy is that fantasy guy loves stats... And fantasy guy loves rankings. He wants to look at a chart and have the chart tell him who the best player is... Fantasy guy also wants to see what other people think about a player... kind of. If you have a different opinion, fantasy guy loves to bombard you with stats to affirm the man crush they carry for a particular player. Looking for affirmation of his love for his third string tight end will often cause huge emotional swings for fantasy guy. Here is my message for fantasy guy, as I am about to give you a couple more players I think will be over-rated in 2014: It's not personal. Don't go tearing up your 2014 mock draft based on my feelings. I put my pants on just like you do and there is a chance I might be wrong. It's going to be okay.

Don’t Fall in Love With a Dreamer: Overrated Players For 2014

After enjoying a great NCAA basketball game between Kentucky and Michigan and throwing about 100 pitches to my 11 year old son in the cage, I find myself sitting in front of the tube watching the the Dodgers and Padres game, and my mind immediately wanders to fantasy football. I'm still sick about how Reggie Bush and Adrian Peterson let me down late in the year and I ask the question, "Were these two guys over rated?" I grabbed Peterson with the first pick last year and Bush with my third. Having those two on the bench at the end of the year was like realizing what your first girl friend looks like without all that make up on. Extremely disappointing. How do we stay out of the mess of picking guys too soon or paying too much for a player that could under perform? Stay away from the hype. Let's take a look at a few players that are going to be highly touted next year, but aren't going to bring home the bacon.

DeSean Jackson Moving To DC, Can Still Witness Plenty of Murders

April 3, 2014 | 2014 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Daily Notes | 10 Comments

Welp, that was quick. After spending an entire week as a free agent (and being called an alleged gang-member, or I guess "having" affiliations with gangs, or maybe he's just really bad at sign-language and a lover of blue tees), DeSean Jackson has been signed by the Washington Football Team. From an NFL perspective, Washington now has four wide recievers roughly the same height, and three of them that can spread the field faster than Dan Snyder can sign 35-year-olds to egregious contacts. In fact, I'm pretty sure Jackson had to lie about his age to get signed. And from a fantasy perspective, this signing certainly changes some things...
