Part three of the keeper league series. This article will help you draft the wide receivers that are left after the other teams have declared their keepers for the season.
For as long
as I can remember, running backs have been the key to victory in
fantasy football. With each passing year, that is becoming less true.
There are more running back by committee situations in the NFL than
there ever were. When this happens, it puts less of an importance on
the running back position in fantasy football. This will lead to people
taking some quarterbacks and wide receivers in the first round. If you
do this, you have to know which wide receiver to take. Even though
there are a lot of running back committee situations, you should still
only draft a certain few wide receivers in the first round...
You asked for it, so now you've got it! Some of you have asked how your thoughts can be seen, well ask no longer. We have again opened up the gates so that anyone can enter an article for all to see your name in lights. Are you passionate about your team? Let's hear about it. Do you have a humorous slant on a story in the NFL? Let's hear about it. Do you think Terrell Owens in Buffalo is a recipe for disaster? Let's hear about it!
All too often in fantasy football, a large percentage of managers throughout the nation fail to notice some of the lessons they should have learned the previous year. There are some major pieces of knowledge people have either forgotten in the last few months or they were not aware of in the 2008 NFL season...
Alright, so the title is a bit of a misnomer. I'm pretty sure most fantasy players inherently can sense a QB’s playing type and without thinking about it and place them into the appropriate fantasy category. However, for those that may not think this way already, this article is to help educate you on the three major types (Game Manager, Precision Passer, Gunslinger) of QBs (in both real life and fantasy) and the effect their style of play has on fantasy WR production.
When you look down at your cheatsheets or rankings, you will instantly notice a number of players about whom you think, "Man, he could blow up this year." Which of these players will turn into "Hulk" type of players this year? Which will simply be mortal "Bruce Banners" for the NFL? Read on and find out ...
It has been drilled into fantasy culture: "don't draft rookie receivers!" The virgin seasons of Eddie Royal, DeSean Jackson and even Donnie Avery have us questioning what has been thought to be fantasy law. The so called "three-year learning curve" philosophy has come into question. But buyer beware for there are still the James Hardy's, the Limas Sweed's and the Devin Thomas' of the world.

I am confident
that Wells will be the rookie of the year in ‘09. This is a match made
in heaven. Wells fell further than anyone expected – including the
Cardinals and he’s the right player on the right team at the right time..
The Patriots are out for blood in ‘09. Fantasy greatness comes from teams who don’t let up. Teams who will run up the score. Teams that throw in the red zone. Teams that say "we don’t care about the records" – but in reality they really do.
Out of all the positions on your fantasy roster, wide receiver might be the most challenging to fill with consistently productive players. There are simply not enough marquee pass catchers in the NFL that can deliver the big points on a regular basis. Here's the riddle: Can a manager acquire two solid starting receivers without sacrificing talent and depth at other positions?
Who
says you have to draft a running back in the first round? Those who
abide by this principal are merely conformists in the big picture, but
2009 could be the season that these conformists may rule the fantasy
world. Why?
It's June, and with June comes summer followed by training camps. There will be a number of QB position battles to keep an eye on this year and we'll take a first look at these situations..
The third-year breakout wide receiver theory has become one of the most known theories by fantasy football players because of a few wide receivers who became dominant during their third season. However, this theory has no statistics to back it up and we believe there is a much better way to find breakout wide receivers.
