Remember Jason Witten and how he was going to be this awesome tight end last year? He was going to go for 90 catches, 1,000 yards and 8-10 TDs.
He lived up to two thirds of those predictions but left the TDs behind. I’ve heard a lot of people say this season, in non-PPRs, that they won’t waste a high pick on Witten because they had him last year.

This season, the big three quarterbacks are all going in the first two rounds. One of them is likely to bust. Let me tell you who. Continue reading ’2010 fantasy football busts: 4 quarterbacks some of you love now and will hate later’

We’ve started unveiling more staff sleepers, but there is another side to the coin. It is an ugly side.
Busts come in all shapes and sizes, but it’s the ones near the top of your draft that make us shake our fists in the air, scream a name and an accompanying string of unintelligible cuss words.
What follows are some of the players I’ve been avoiding in an attempt to keep my blood pressure below the instant death mark in 2010. Continue reading ‘Fantasy football busts: 5 running backs you will learn to hate in 2010′

You are not sheep, ninjas.
Just because a player is supposed to be drafted in the top 10 doesn’t mean they should. No player in fantasy football is without flaws.
With our help, and the help of hundreds of other sites out there, it’s your duty as a member of the Ninja Army to weed out the players not fit for their draft slot.
Be the wolves. Harvest the sheep. Continue reading ’2010 Fantasy Football ADP Top 20 (and 20 reasons why you will not win if you follow ADP)’
