Fantasy Football: Help Me Hit the Books


The Huddler

Recommended Posts

Yo, I'm looking for some really good fantasy football information sources, and I was hoping some of you would help me out. We all know of the ESPN, yahoo, and NFL.com fantasy crap that everyone reads in order to prepare for a draft.

I'm looking for some real nitty gritty, in depth analysis to take my teams to the next level. I want to put in the work to study and be fully prepared for this season.

I realize there is a total subforum for this topic, but there is little traffic through there. If you have had a lot of success with a source, please share. PM me if you have competition here on the Huddle. I don't just want to use google to find my sources, as to most of the options on there are so generic and just want to make money. Much thanks and pie for helping me out!!

PIE for a source

Dave Richard and the CBS team do a respectable job - but like ESPN they have an agenda. The sources listed above good as well. If you want to get some practice in before your main league draft - go join some free ESPN leagues so you can kinda get a feel for where certain players are going and look for trends. 

 

couple of guys you may want to keep an eye on that I have as possible big time sleeper/breakout players next year:

 

Rashad Jennings

Denarius Moore 

Andre Ellington

Ben Tate 

 

and depending on how deep your league is with teams and positions - Kelvin Benjamin is a guy you may want to target towards the end of the draft. I'm in a big money league with 9 other Panthers fans so guys like Cam and Benjamin are probably going to go a lot higher than they should. 

 

feel free to add any more to this list

. Seems like all of the good content on the site a need a subscription. Do you have the subscription and is I worth the money? I signed up for the 3 free downloads and the emails, thanks man.

 

 

I just get the emails he sends I had a subscription but now I just go off his emails.

The reason i get the subscription is they produce excel spreadsheets that are changeable to your league and there is plenty of subscriber only content. I think the spreadsheets are free right now if you want to check it out.

Draft Dominator is a great tool that footballguys has too.  I use it a lot to get a better feel when to target certain players I have a hunch are going to have big years.  Sometimes it works out, but it also keeps me in check on reaching for players and not allowing good value to pass me by.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
