What Have We Learned E-mail

I think this year of fantasy football has been unlike many of the others in the past. We always have our normal sets of injuries, normal sleepers, and normal busts, but this year is different. The difference this year is almost all the best fantasy players come from good teams. There's the occasional star like Maurice Jones-Drew from a bad team, but for the most part the point leaders are from contenders. The reason for this is because fantasy football is dictated by how the NFL season plays out. We are spoiled as fans. Usually we get a great parity amongst teams in the NFL and all games are exciting to watch and we usually don't know who is going to win. Not this year. Nope! This year we got a bunch of crappy teams and a handful of contenders and that's it. There's not many middle ground teams that are competing each week. Unfortunately for fantasy owners the same is happening with our fantasy players. The bad teams are bad and therefore the players on those teams aren't doing anything either. The NFL is different than most sports. One individual can't just take over the game as easy as a pitcher in baseball or a shooting guard in basketball. The team has to be solid for the players to shine. Now I know what everyone is thinking...why not just draft players from good teams and than things will be easier next year. The other problem is we don't always know who the best teams are going to be. Did we think the Bengals or the Broncos would have the records they have and their starting quarterbacks would be putting up big fantasy numbers? No. I really just think this is a fluke year. So don't jump ship from your normal draft strategies next year, but do look at the overall NFL picture, because if not much has changed than I would go with drafting players from solid teams.
