Fantasy Football 2011

The fantasy football season has come to a close. I made the playoffs in all 3 of my leagues. Winning one and taking third in another. Overall a good year and turned a nice profit. If it wasn't for McFadden being a mangina with a sprained foot for half the season and Fred Jackson breaking his leg, I would have won two of the three leagues. Sleeper picks this year would have to be Cam Newton and Ryan FitsPatrick at quarterback. Marshawn Lynch, Reggie Bush and Freddy Jackson at runningback. Jordy Nelson, Victor Cruz, and AJ Green at widereciever. Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski at tight end. David Akers at Kicker. And Bengals Defense. With no real off season or training camp this year was full of injuries. Big names went down early and ruined many fantasy seasons. Andre Johnson, Jamaal Charles, Peyton Manning just to name a few. The lesson I learned from all this is draft players with good track records of being healthy and draft depth or the backup to your key running back. I went with a formula I will be sticking to from here on out. Get 3 solid running backs and a top tier QB early. I stole Brees in the 3rd round. It paid off in spades. I lucked out with the Gronkowski pick. I knew he was good and in a pass happy offense, but he scored more points than almost every wide out in the league. Wide receivers are becoming harder and harder to rely on. Of the top 10 scoring receivers this year only 3 would have been high draft pics. Nelson and Cruz you could have picked up in any leagues free agent pool. For 2012 I will be ramping up my fantasy football blog. In depth reports and strategies.
