There’s a sweet smell in the air this time of year. But it’s not tailgates, beer and highly-paid men in pads pummeling each other. It’s actually the smell of full-grown men (and women?) hunched over their laptops, researching, adding, dropping and trading their way to glory. Yes, friends, fantasy football season is upon us. And […]

Roto Bowl Draft Analysis
September 7, 2011 | 2011 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Daily Notes | 29 Commentsby: Doc
I did a draft at the site RotoBowl the other day in hopes that I can win some big money and thought I’d take a look see at my team out here in the light of day. I’m always afraid of what I might see! Before we get on with the show I’m also doing […]

In an attempt to help determine which quarterback, wide receiver, and/or tight end to start in week one we have sliced and diced some statistics. The stats we are using are the last six games of last season. With numerous off season moves there are some inaccuracies with using the data to predict 2011 outcomes. […]

Please, blog, may I have some more? Streaming Defenses Week 1
September 5, 2011 | 2011 D/ST Matchups, 2011 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Daily Notes | 45 Commentsby: Doc
As many of you know I am a proponent of streaming fantasy defenses all season long. Of course there are always some glitches in your plans due to teams already being owned, especially if your opponents are streaming as well. I try not to look too far ahead because I am a short-sighted sloth? No, […]

James Cameron’s The Abyss: Deep Water Sleepers
September 5, 2011 | 2011 Fantasy Football | 12 Commentsby: JB Gilpin
Back before James Cameron was pumping out epic movie crap like Avatar and Titanic, he actually made some quality films. Terminator 2 obviously comes to mind, but I really like The Abyss, a movie a lot of people haven’t seen or heard of. Cameron’s resume is a good metaphor for fantasy players. Everyone knows the […]

As those fruit-infused wheat beer selections are replaced with “Ocktoberfest” on store shelves the reverb of polycarbonate crunching on Sundays begins to run flag patterns in your subconscious. This indication of summer’s fleeting grasp also impacts the “new car smell” of your fantasy football cheat-sheet. Those rankings you printed out and taped to the inner […]

I’d like to welcome back my old friend Statistical Strategery. This is where I throw some numbers together and see if we can gauge which team defenses are the easiest and hardest to run, pass or kick against, well, not the kick part. This is week 1 and there have been major coaching and personnel […]

If you are one of the prized receivers of the Razzball Newsletter you will have received our latest newsletter which is also masquerading as a draft kit of sorts. I’m still working on making the newsletter look not so crappy, but for now you’ll just have to pretend. Click on the pic and be transported […]

(Doc’s Note: I’d like for y’all to welcome Joe to Razzball! He’ll be giving us his take on fake football all season) AFC East Living in the New York metro area, I can tell you New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan has been quiet. It’s refreshing, and perhaps a little hint that he doesn’t […]
