As the NFL’s Free Agency/Trading season continues, more and more player’s experience value changes based on their new situations, but sometimes it’s their new teammates who are affected the most. Read more

What Should You Do With LT?

After tweaking his ankle in Week 1, many of LaDainian Tomlinson’s fantasy owners are extremely frustrated and have no idea what to do with him. We hate to say we told you so, so we won’t. Instead, we’ll help you strategize and work out your issues. Read more

Is It Time To Dump LT?

While Brett Favre’s possible return to the Vikings has begun to dominate the headlines again, we’ve noticed another trend developing regarding another future hall-of-famer. Read more

Out With The Old RBs - In With The New

Sometimes seasonal owners have a tendency to rely on the same old trusty guys that have had big games for them in the past. In the past, being conservative was a solid idea on draft day, but in many cases it’s necessary to get with the times and anticipate who the younger, up-and-coming players are - especially at the running back position. Guys who have produced consistently in the past, like Thomas Jones, Jamal Lewis, Larry Johnson, Willie Parker, LaDainian Tomlinson and Brian Westbrook - are all nearing the end of the line in terms of fantasy production.

LaDainian Tomlinson To Be Traded?

Recent spats via the media between soon to be 30 year old Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson and Chargers GM A.J. Smith have led some folks to believe that L.T. could be traded this off-season. Honestly, whether he’s traded or not, he doesn’t have much left in the tank and San Diego better think about a replacement very soon.

We wouldn’t be surprised to see L.T. do a Shaun Alexander/Edgerrin James tank job in 2009, meaning San Diego needs to either sign UFA Darren Sproles, draft a lead back in April, or go after a guy like Michael Bush or Ray Rice via trade.

Dipping Dynasty Value

This time of year, fantasy owners are usually doing one of a few things – either preparing for a playoff run, moping around and fussing because their team “barely” missed the playoffs, or – in the case of dynasty owners – scouting which players will potentially breakout down the road, and evaluating those that may be on the downturn of their statistical careers.

Tomlinson & Larry Johnson Are Falling Fast…

Every week this time of year is pretty darn crazy, as fantasy owners still have no idea what to expect with regards to several things. How will top players battle through slumps? Will guys who blew up last week continue to play well, or are they fool’s gold? Our Week 3 stock market report takes a look at who is rising and falling based on what has happened during the first two weeks of the NFL season. Read more

We Were Right About, We Were Wrong About

Many of our off-season predictions are coming true folks. As we suspected, not only is it the year of the rookie RB, but Darren McFadden has taken the lead in the race, with more than 160 yards and a score in Week 2. LT looks like a flop, and Adrian Peterson remains solid. Many of our Week 2 specific predictions were spot on as well folks, as Aaron Rodgers led the way among QBs with 328 yards and three TDs.

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

LT Campaigns To Be No. 1 Fantasy Pick…

You know that fantasy football - which is now an $800 million industry in America - has really made it when one of the NFL’s best players and 2006 NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is actually out campaigning to be the number one pick in 2008 Fantasy Football drafts.

The following He-Mannish quote was taken from a recent USA Today article, which explains the whole deal…

“I should be the No. 1 pick because I’m proven,” Tomlinson told The Associated Press during the start of the tongue-in-cheek “LT in ‘08″ media blitz promoting [some loser wannabe's site]’s fantasy games. “I’ve been doing it for a while and have experience helping owners win their leagues. I got a good track record, and I’ll be ready on day one.”

Sorry LT - ahem, I mean He-Man, but we have endorsed Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson as our official number one overall draft choice in 2008, regardless of league scoring format.

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

Lorenzo Neal To Sign With Cowboys?

Word is that 15 year veteran fullback Lorenzo Neal, who was released this off-season by the San Diego Chargers, is looking to sign on with an NFL team somewhere, and Dallas has been mentioned as a possibility.

We believe that Neal’s absence could negatively affect Ladainian Tomlinson’s value this season, and if Neal signed on with Dallas, Marion Barber would end up having one of the best blocking fullbacks of all time clearing the way for him.
