Fantasy Football - StatLeader.com style

Why do most fantasy publications give you a synopsis of each NFL team containing their projections on the teams final record, where they are likely to finish in their division and, oh joy, whether or not they will make the playoffs.

Frankly, I don’t care about this information (and you shouldn’t either). It’s useless. Yes, it’s important to know how a team’s D stacks up, or who will be getting the most snaps under Center, but as long as Peyton gets his 300 yards and Edge scores his TDs, I could care less if the Colts finish 0-16.

As for who will be in the playoffs, just about every Fantasy Season is over by then. So why are you other prognosticators out there wasting our time and money giving us your postseason predictions. Predictions, by the way, that are usually about as accurate as a Seth Marler field goal attempt from outside the 50.

With this said, my next installment will begin the StatLeader 2004 season analysis starting with the NFC West. We will only worry about the information that is important to you, the Fantasy Football owner.
One more thing, as a die-hard Buckeye, I have a natural revulsion to anyone (or anything) from the University of MeatChicken. That does not end simply because they are now pros. If my evaluation of these players seems overly harsh, it isn’t…, just accurate.
