Let’s clarify something: I love fantasy football. I don’t know why, but I do. It probably has to do something with liking football plus trying to predict what will happen in the games, who will benefit, and how will probability change everything.
The problem is that I like it too much. I read tons of advice columns, none of which ever really seem overly helpful aside from recommending things I could have already deduce myself. Start any team against the Lions? Really? That’s your advice? Wow, really willing to risk being wrong. The other options are columns that write things like “start Peyton Manning.” Gee. I didn’t know he was good.
In all seriousness, I read to try and get a sense of the problems that I face. My suspicion is that other managers do the same thing. Some advice is pretty good. I recommend reading the Fantasy Football Librarian. She complies a good amount of information (like a true librarian, and yes, she is a real one) that other sites have written and compiles it into a decent post. If you have the time, then you could read what everyone thinks on the subject.
I usually do read everything. Which consumes a lot of time. And leaves me frustrated – because it hasn’t resolve the difficulties I faced and then I wasted time reading lots of articles. I face a number of dilemmas this week (and probably for the next three weeks).
