Sam Bradford, 2013 Fantasy Sleeper

June 12, 2013 | 2013 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Sleeper | 33 Comments

by:

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

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…

The trip continues and by that I don’t mean your face melting off because you’re still LSD. BTW, if you are on LSD I do promise your face isn’t actually melting off. Or is it? Have you checked? Go look in the mirror to make sure. No, the trip we’re on is to the center of the Fantasy Football universe by looking at how we’re ranking these mo’fos for the 2013 season. I already gave you my Top 10 For 2013 Fantasy Football here which you can find in the 2013 Fantasy Football Rankings there. If that doesn’t quell your thirst for random links in an opening paragraph then I give you this. You satisfied now? Good, that means you’re ready to take a look at the remainder of the top 20 for 2013 Fantasy Football with me…

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:

Top 10 For 2013 Fantasy Football

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…

2013 Rankings Under Construction: The Wide Receiver Edition

May 31, 2013 | 2013 Fantasy Football, 2013 Fantasy Football Rankings | 17 Comments

by:

I don’t always draft wide receivers early but when I do, I don’t want to. Wide Receiver is yet again deep. There’ll be some pitfalls here and there but hopefully none as big as there were last year (I’m farting in your general direction, Larry Fitzgerald). Also like last year, I plan to hear plent of guff about where some guys are ranked compared to others. Problem is, I’d say there are about 17 or 18 guys who could be counted on as WR1s this year, especially in PPR settings and whaddayaknow, I’m ranking them in PPR so that statement fits. We already lost one member of my top 10 to injury this year when Michael Crabtree fell down, went boom at the OTA last week. Current word on the street is Anquan Boldin is getting on nicely Colin Kaepernick…calm down Chris Culliver I didn’t say ‘getting it on’! BTW, has anyone told you you’re cute when you’re angry? Chillax, you’re not my type either as you have an adam’s apple. I don’t believe the hype with Boldin and think it’ll still think there’ll be someone else who stands up in that Crabtree role of the wide receivers which you’ll glean from my off-season rankings for wide receivers for 2013 fantasy football below…

Now No One Gets Crabs On Draft Day

It was an eventful Wednesday last week to say the least. A man found a 1938 comic book inside the walls of his house, a jailed Pussy Riot member is currently on hunger strike and Paris Hilton signed with Lil’ Wayne’s recording company and plans on dropping a new album in the near future…hey I said it was eventful, I didn’t say it was all important. Of course the real news is that the San Francisco 49ers have lost Michael Crabtree for the foreseeable future to a torn right achilles tendon, for which he had surgery Thursday. To quote Harbaugh on this shituation ‘we do not anticipate it will season-ending for Michael’. Of course, that means we shouldn’t expect Crabtree to be ‘season-beginning’ anything either. Instant fantasy analysis: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Ok, now that we got that out of the way, let’s see what this all entails for this 2013 Fantasy Football season…

2013 Rankings Under Construction: The Running Back Edition

May 24, 2013 | 2013 Fantasy Football, 2013 Fantasy Football Rankings |

by:

Gather round the campfire children where we tell the story of how deep running back is this year. Don’t worry, it’s a short story, could almost call it a novella really since no one has played yet. I mean, Darren McFadden isn’t hurt yet so we know it’s too early to even start thinking that way. You’re a seasoned veteran at this, you know better. Like when you caught Santa schtupping your mom on Christmas Eve. You know you’re not Claus, Jr and you put it together that there really was no such thing as ‘ole Saint Nick. Someone is gonna get hurt or dinged up before the draft starts and we’re all gonna panic but that’s for August. It’s May, chillax. I like RB this year much better than I did last year at this time but I still think caution is appropriate. I’d like to get 2 RBs out of the first three rounds. Heck, I might even go 3 if the right wide receiver doesn’t curl up in my lap and purr especially in a one QB league. I said it was deep, I didn’t say you shouldn’t reap the benefits! So with that, let’s see how the rankings are shaping up so far for this 2013 fantasy football season…

The momentum has begun. That long, slow roll into the Fall starts after the NFL Draft and gradually gains steam as we precede into summer. Sure, there’s Fantasy Baseball. We at Razzball are pretty good at that as well. But for some of you, the Summer doesn’t hold any joy except for the tidbits that lead up to the 2013 Fantasy Football season. So today and thru the rest of May we’re gonna be sneak peaking it with our 2013 Fantasy Football Rankings. Could things change between now and when we go and tier things up and do this for realsies? Yup but you know you don’t care. you just wanna see what things just might be for right now. You’re like a fantasy football voyeur that way and we love you for it. So with that, here’s a look at the top 25 QBs for the 2013 Fantasy Football season as premature as they come…ew, that sounded bad. I’ll have none of this lewdness, on with the rankings!
