FANtasy Football is a Numbers Game, So, Trust the Numbers Vol.14

FANTASY FOOTBALL IS A NUMBERS GAME SO, TRUST THE NUMBERS   Vol.14

There are two types of laws that most of us follow. The first are Man-Made Laws. These are laws that were passed by our legislators from speeding too fast in your car to going too slow in your car, from throwing trash on our streets to putting too much trash on the curb on garbage day. And for the REAL bad guys we have laws  set in place to prevent stealing everything from shoplifting to home invasions. Being a family oriented site thats enough on what the bad guys do, I think you get the picture. You may or may not be caught breaking these Man Made Laws. You may or may not be punished for breaking them as well.

The second set of laws are Universal Laws. These are laws that if broken they will eventuall catch up to us. Such as The Law of Sowing and Reaping. What we sow today we reap tomorrow. If we practice our chosen profession now, we will become better at it tomorrow. The Law of telling the Truth is another. What we lie about today will catch up to us tomorrow. Unlike the Man made Laws where we may or may not get caught, this won’t happen with Universal Laws. If you don’t Sow (study & research) you will not reap. Sow weeds, you get tall weeds.

Why bring this up now on a FANtasy football site? Because, the more work we put in researching our teams and players will pay off in wins on Sunday and Monday. By now it may make some sense that if your ‘big guns’ aren’t getting it done that it might be time to sit them. Case in point. All week long I debated whether to play Julio Jones, WR from Atlanta over James Jones WR from Green Bay. Jones from GB has had a few very good games, but after looking at Atlantas’ opponent (Indy) my GUT said to go with Julio who responded with 27 FANtasy point vs James’ 8. Another tip worth sharing is when you have a player who is on the bubble as far as playing or not due to an injury, then go to his NFL teams website for any injury news from the team. The more you Sow the More you Reap.

It wasn’t what we’re use to from the last few years but it looks loke Chris Johnson may be finally coming around. He got 11 NFL FANtasy points (3 times more than what he’s been getting this years) so keep him in your line ups. A lot of nay-sayers were complaining that he got his money so he let up. The truth is he is playing under a different system with new coaches so for some that takes time to grasp. Give him a break. He will do you good the rest of the way. We also didn’t see the injuries we have been seeing in the first 8 weeks so Week 10 ought to be very interesting.

Now that there are 9 games under the belt, with 7 left we’ll be seeing a lot of teams start to jockey for the play off spots. We should really start to see some awesome games and individual performances. Reseach YOUR players stats and especially who they are playing against. (Opponenets Ranking). Although my heart wanted to play Steve Johnson (WR Buffalo) I knew he would be draped by Revis from the Jets. So instead I went with Victor Cruz (yes from the enemy Jets) and it turned into the right decision as Johnson got 7 pts vs Cruz’ 10. Three points isn’t much, but in a tight FANtasy game it’s EVERYTHING.

Just remeber, the more you SOW (from here on) the more wins you’ll get and hopefully we will see you in the playoffs.

I’ll be giving you an update on my 5 teams tomorrow after tonights MNF game. However I can happily report that my 0-8 team from ESPN is now 1-8. Yippeee!!!!

Don’t forget to click on our valued advertisers (in the box on the top right in blue). There is a ton of FANtasy Football info here and again, the MORE YOU SOW, THE MORE YOU REAP.

Good luck to you all. And enjoy your FANtasy Football team.
