Over at Chinstrap Ninjas I just posted a look at a couple fantasy football players that improved their standing greatly from 2008 to 2009.
Here’s an excerpt:
Wide Receiver
Lance Moore, New Orleans Saints
Quick, who was the leading fantasy receiver for the high-octane Saints? Yep, Moore. Moore was a top-14 receiver. Point to his 10 TDs and say he’s going to be overvalued all you want. He had 3 100-yard games and 3 two TD games.
Yes a lot of those numbers point to him being a potentially overvalued player next year. But i like his level of opportunity in the offense. Moore had 5 or more catches in 10 of his team’s 16 games. He was a late-round sleeper last year. He won’t be available so cheap in 2009.

Jay-Mo, who provided Sloppy Potatoes with an excellent post about a playoff system in NCAA football last week, has done it again. This time he takes a look at some of the skill players that will be available in the 2009 NFL draft over at Chinstrap Ninjas.
Here’s an excerpt:
I’m starting to like Pat White, of West Virginia, and Josh Freeman, of Kansas State. White’s recent performance in the Senior Bowl opened a lot of NFL eyes, as it should for fantasy owners watching who takes a chance on him. Just the potential for touchdowns makes him worth a late fantasy pick. I foresee Wildcats quarterbacks overtaking the old goal line hogs of former days, Jerome Bettis, Marion Butts and Mike Alstott.
My take: White has the biggest fantasy impact.

Yep, crazy talk. Or is it?
Over at www.chinstrapninjas.com I’ve outlined a handful of reasons why you may want to avoid the player that has vaulted himself into Best WR in the Universe conversation with his postseason performance.
An excerpt:
However, he’s going to be the first WR taken in about every draft, and he’s going to be taken way higher than he probably should simply because of his amazing postseason performance.
We also have to consider that in some drafts, the chips will fall exactly as they need to and you’ll have to take Fitzgerald. However, I’m about to tell you that your best bet might be to avoid Fitzgerald in 2009 fantasy drafts.
For those of you who just snorted beer or soda or coffee up your nose, let’s not laugh too hard. Here are my reasons not to pick Larry Fitzgerald in 2009:
- First, to think he’ll replicate this ridiculous level of focus and strength — really it’s been superhuman — throughout an entire season, is asking a lot. Seriously, think about it.

In the inaugural edition of the Ninja Mailbag over at www.chinstrapninjas.com, I’ve answered three questions from one of our readers, Jay-Mo.
Here’s an excerpt:
If I had to choose the top rookie that will be picked in 2009 fantasy drafts right now, and I do, I’d go with Chris Wells, Ohio State. The dude only played in nine games but went over 1,000 yards and scored eight TDs. But, I think Iowa’s Shonn Greene will be the best running back to come out of the 2009 class.
