Suck for Luck

Andrew Luck. Let me say it again... Andrew Luck. If your a Dolphins fan, Colts fan or maybe even a Chiefs fan, you can't lose enough games this season.

As a Fins fan the last 10 years have been rough... Really rough. That could change though. To be blunt my Dolphins can't lose enough games this season. Luck is going to be a star and I hope he shines in South Beach next season.

If you want hum to join the discussion. Let us know which team you hope drafts him.

Brandon Marshall

What can fantasy owners expect from Brandon Marshall this year.

Great things.

He will catch close to 100 balls assuming he stays healthy. Though Chad Henne is a terrible QB both in Fantasy, and in real life, Marshall is still by far his best target.


If you play in a PPR league Marshall has even more value. He is currently going in the 5th round on average and he will be much better than the 50th player this year. He is worth even more than guys like DeSean Jackson in PPR who is going an average of 2 rounds earlier.

Grab him in the 4th round, you won't be disappointed. 

Why Eran Fabian's team is worse than mine.

Want to know why Eran Fabian (@FRATasysports) has a terrible team... He picked Ray Rice number 1 overall. Ya thats right. you read that right. Kid calls himself an expert.

Does this kid look like an expert?

Ya thats what I thought. No.
Is that the fish or the Bait?

Ok so back to his team.

His 2nd running back is Joseph Addai. Ya, I know, terrible.
Flex is even worse. Lee Evans. Not to mention Mike Thomas is starting at WR for him. I will say he has "A Greg Jennings" and yes he makes everyone else look like "Little Boys" as well as Tom Brady, but COMMM ON MANNN. What a terrible team.

Ok so you want a little piece of my team. Here it is. 
M. Vick
R. Wayne
D. Jackson
A.J. Green
F. Gore
R. Grant
D. Clark
And finally the Law Firm of BenJarvus Green-Ellis

So you make the judgement. Oh wait, you already did.

Until next time, Frat Hard and Frat Often.
But more importantly, don't make dumb trades.

MJD Dropping in Yahoo Leagues

MJD is dropping like crazy in many yahoo drafts. If you can get him in the second round I think that is a steal. Grab a guy like Ray Rice in the first and snake back to MJD in the second. He is consistent, the injuries seem to be behind him, and he would make a solid 1A option. Other guys dropping in some leagues are Larry Fitzgerald and Peyton Hillis who I think will both have outstanding seasons.

Naming your Fantasy Team

You might think what's in a name? A lot. You can be the laughing stock of the league, or the funniest guy in it. Yes, there is a difference. I try to come up with an original name, some funny some not for every team I have.  Be creative, thats what gets you the laughs.

Last year I took CJ2K with the first pick. I named my team Team Golden Teeth. If that doesn't make sense to you, check out his teeth. Anyway, back to reality. This year I have a couple teams already, and I have some names in place but I like to go with things that have some relevance to my team.

My name of choice this year can only happen if I can draft Michael Vick. I have heard many original team names associated with him, but I am not about stealing anyone else's work. If I get him, my team will be..... The ConVicks. Ya I know, pretty original right?

Anyway, post your team names and I will give some love to the best few names on twitter as I see them come up.

Packers favorite to win Super Bowl again

Some franchises just know how to run a team. The packers will be one of the favorites to win it all again this year. With a loaded defense and arguably the best QB in the NFL the Packers are loaded and ready for a repeat.

Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings, and Ryan Grant will all be starters in your fantasy football league and all are expected to produce solid numbers this year. The Packers Defense is also a good option led by Charles Woodson and Clay Matthews. If you don't believe me, check out the Dicks commercial. Anyway back to reality.

The Packers and Eagles are the teams to beat in the NFC and I expect them to be playing each other with a trip to the Superbowl on the line.

McNabb and other transition QBs

Donovan McNabb and other QBs like Hasselback and David Garrard are guys who will be taking over new teams this year. What does this mean for their fantasy value? In keeper leagues you do not want them. They are not long term solutions, they are there to mentor young QBs and help them transition to the NFL. In addition they may not start every game this year. If their teams begin to lose games and they are out of it, young guys like Gabbert, Ponder, Locker will get some snaps in order to help them improve for the future.

The only leagues I see those types of QBs having any value in are leagues that play 2 QBs or are leagues that have 20 teams (which are rare).

So bottom line, look elsewhere for your QB needs.
