The first six months of this year have come and gone, and football training camps start next week. We are glad to be back for our 21st year in business. Please order your kits asap as UPS has a shortage of drivers, and gas prices are through the roof, so what used to take 3 days to ship is now 4-5 days.   NFL training camps start next week on the 25th. In addition, the Houston Texans have reached settlements…

In 1978 the St.Louis Cardinals drafted Steve Little in the first round and 15th overall. He was a two-time All-American kicker and punter at the University of Arkansas. In 1977, he tied the NCAA record with a 67-yard field goal against Texas. He got a lot of hype, and the possibility of him kicking and punting in the pros is what got him drafted so high. Unfortunately, he was a dreadful kicker, making less than half of his attempts, and…

There hasn’t been a kicker chosen in the first round in 20 years, but it has happened. In fantasy football, kickers are a dime a dozen. They usually get drafted in the last round of fantasy football drafts. Some guys won’t waste a draft pick on one and do roto kicker off the waiver wire every week. A YouTube video by KTO was talking about this. I grew up in The Bay Area, so I remember when Al Davis and…

The NFL Draft from Las Vegas is in the books. The first five picks were all defensive players. The most exciting position is wide receiver. Six of the first eighteen draft picks were wide receivers. Three in a row from 10 through 12. Two significant trades involving veteran wideouts. A.J. Brown gets traded from the Titans to the Eagles, and Marquise “Hollywood” Brown gets traded from the Baltimore Ravens to the Arizona Cardinals. Kenny Pickett was the only quarterback taken…

I enjoy listening to The Fantasy Endgame on YouTube, and they were talking about six wide receivers to avoid drafting in 2022. I agree with them because the draft costs are too high, and there are some that you’ve never wanted to draft. For me, it’s always been Sammy Watkins. Unfortunately, I had two of the wide receivers on my squad last season. Terry McLaurin and Robert Woods. These guys were target monsters the year before, so I took Woods…

The NFL draft is this Thursday, and lots of rookies will be drafted. I don’t know much about dynasty football, but I watched a YouTube video by Fantasy Stock Exchange, and he said that these five players are overrated in the dynasty football mock drafts. Wide Receiver, Christian Watson from North Dakota State, is an elite athlete and had a great Senior Bowl and draft combine. But being an elite athlete doesn’t always correlate to high fantasy football production. He’s…

I enjoy listening to The Fantasy Football Counselor on YouTube, and he was talking about 5 running backs to avoid drafting in 2022. Here is his list. These are good players, but they are not worth drafting in the first round. Nick Chubb of the Cleveland Browns. He was a consensus Top 5 pick, but he finished 13th among running backs even though Kareem Hunt only played eight games. PPR is the number one format in fantasy football leagues, and…

I watched a YouTube video of The Football Guys, and they were talking about two running backs with a lot of upsides as long as they can stay healthy.   What does a dark horse mean in fantasy football? And why were there no horses in the Katy Perry music video, but I digress? These running backs could be a Top 5 pick, but they’re a dark horse because they’re guys that people don’t expect to be drafted that high.…

I watched a YouTube video of The fantasy Football Counselor, and he talked about 4 gems that he loves in the 2022 drafts. I agree with him on three of them. The first gem is Ja’Marr Chase. I believe in drafting two running backs in the first three rounds of my draft. I play in a 14 team league, so wide receivers are being drafted in the first round. In the sixth round of my draft last year, I picked…

Mac Jones finished his rookie season 18th in fantasy points amongst quarterbacks. I like drafting a quarterback who finished relatively well the year before, not the guy who was a Top 5 QB because their stats tend to go down a bit the following year. For example, in 2021, everybody was high on Lamar Jackson and Pat Mahomes. So instead of taking one of these guys, I loaded up on running backs and wide receivers before taking Tom Brady in…
