Jones-Drew Goes #1 Overall In Mock

For the last several weeks I’ve been working with my colleagues at Athlon Fantasy Sports, putting together the 2009 Fantasy Football Analyst Magazine, scheduled to hit newsstands in late May/early June. My final assignment was to participate in my third straight Athlon Fantasy Football “Expert” league mock draft, which we will play out through the season. I knew it would be an interesting draft when Maurice Jones-Drew was taken first overall. Read more

We Were Right About, We Were Wrong About

Bills RB Marshawn Lynch has four TDs in his first three games, but put up very modest statistics in Weeks 1 & 2. We told fantasy owners that this would be the week Lynch showed his true colors and finally had a breakout performance. The second year man from Cal followed through for us, racking up 83 yards and two TDs on the ground, while hauling in four passes for 31 yards. Read more

Week 3 - Who We Like, Who We Dislike

Eli Manning exploded for 260 yards and three TDs against the Rams in Week 2, after a below average Week 1 performance against the Redskins. Many fantasy sites like him at home against Cincy in Week 2, find out why we don’t - as well as who else we like and dislike this week. Read more

Can Brett Favre Help You Win?

You’ve probably already read about the Fantasy Football Open Championship here on No-Offseason.com. Well, our No-Offseason.com squad was selected last week, on the night of the Brett Favre trade. Ironically, we had waited on a QB after a flurry of signal caller activity was detected early, and Favre fell to us in the 11th round, right before the trade to New York was announced. It felt like it was meant to be - but will Favre help us win in 2008? Read more

Experts Draft: Wayne Goes In Round 1

We’ve participated in many interesting expert fantasy football drafts this summer - including mocks and league drafts - and our most recent draft was no exception, as Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne was selected in the first round. Read more

Stallworth Rocks In Cleveland

Our sources tell us that 27 year old free agent acquisition Donte’ Stallworth is fully recovered from a hamstring injury that kept him out of the early part of training camp. We’re now hearing that the career underachiever is fitting in very well in Cleveland’s offense and developing great chemistry with Derek Anderson. Read more

Experts Draft: Moss Is Our 1st Choice

One of our favorite parts about June through August is taking part in several seasonal drafts in fantasy football expert leagues. Not only are they highly competitive, but they’re extremely useful in learning about new trends and analyzing different draft strategies and player values. In Fantasy Football Indepth’s expert challenge, No-Offseason.com went head-to-head with publications like Rotoworld.com, Pro Football Weekly, CBSSports.com, Athlon Sports, FantasyGuru.com, USA Today, Fanball.com and more. With the seventh overall choice in the first round, we had a tough decision, but decided to go WR first and roll with New England’s Randy Moss. Read more

Michael Robinson To Be Involved…

Apparently new 49ers offensive coordinator Mike Martz really likes what he sees from Michael Robinson, a former QB at Penn State turned RB for San Francisco. Martz is planning on making him into a fullback type player, and putting him in the backfield with Frank Gore. Robinson is a solid pass catcher out of the backfield, and can flourish in this role.

He likely won’t be a fantasy option, but is someone to monitor.
