Any thoughts on the redesign of the site? This is just step one, but I thought things needed to freshen up a bit. I have some other ideas too, including a possible renaming of the blog, though The Fantasy Answer Man would still be prominently featured.
Anyway, here we are with 3 1/8 games left in the 2010-2011 NFL season (and if you argue that the Pro Bowl is worth more than 1/8 I'll show you footage of the 2008 edition where Derek Anderson went 10-for-26 with a pick), and we have four teams who still can give us more information to use toward next year's fantasy evaluations. Here is what I'll be looking for, as well as a few thoughts about the teams who departed last weekend.
Where are we ranking Mike Wallace next year? Is he top 20? Top 15? Top 10? I want to see his targets per game rise and for him to develop more of an underneath game, but Wallace was the eighth most productive WR in one of my leagues this year where he tallied more points than Fitz, Andre and Miles, and he's still getting better.
Looking at the team the Steelers dispensed in the playoffs, I think we'll see a bit of turnover in the Ravens skill guys going into next year. Will they bring in a goal line threat to replace the almost ceratin to depart Willis McGahee? I'm also in agreement with NFL Network's Mike Lombardi that the Ravens WRs are simply not explosive enough to be difference makers despite their names and price tags. Talk about a team that could use Mike Wallace...
New England is in a similar position to the Ravens. I can't wait to see if they bring in a RB or WR to improve depth with all those picks in the draft. The Patriots usually build OL/DL/LB/DB in the draft though, so we'll see. Mark Ingram could be HUGE in New England.
The Jets are pretty set at the fanatsy positions...this year. But, Santonio Holmes and Braylon Edwards are both free agents this off-season. They have virtually no depth, so this will be something to monitor.
Can you use this You Tube clip to your advantage in a dynasty or keeper league and sell Marshawn Lynch? I'd sell high on Mike Williams too. He could get a contact this off-season and go back to being overweight and content. Fool me once...
The Packers will be better offensively next year. James Starks is better than Ryan Grant and this team is missing Jermichael Finley. They won't score 40 today, but I think they are a near lock to win. They better, no one wants to watch the Bears in the Super Bowl.
Can we finally stop drafting Devin Hester in fantasy? He was the 45th WR this year with all those return TDs. He caught 40 passes for 475 yards and 4 TDs.
Finally, the Falcons. I don't think Roddy White gets any better from here unless the team brings in a better WR2 to pose a threat to defenses. Also, just to preview some of my thoughts about next year, Michael Turner posted his worst YPC and his worst FPG (fantasy points per game) this year of his three seasons in Atllanta. Trust me, the miles are building with his usage and age. He's not getting better from here.
Enjoy the games today everyone.
Cheers,
TFAM
