Fantasy Football Player Projections
Fantasy Football Projections for Dummies
Author: micheal tietjen
There are many things to keep in mind when it comes to fantasy football projections because so many variables can affect your players' performance. Here are a couple of the things that I pay close attention to.
I always look out for injury reports. It's quite possible that a concussion or a sprained knee will come back to bite that player in the new season. A clean bill of health makes for a better player and will translate into more game points for you.
Watch out for weather conditions since rain, sleet and even high winds are sure to affect the players' ability to complete passes and score touchdowns.
Take note of weeks when your players have a bye. It would be advisable to stock up on bench players who have different byes to fill in for these weeks.
Also, it's important to understand what positions are most valuable according to your league's scoring settings. Most leagues give the same amount of points for touchdowns to all players whether it is a pass, reception, or rushing touchdown. However, quarterbacks and running backs are invariably worth investing a higher draft pick on because they tend to be involved in more point opportunities. On the other hand, tight ends tend to have a lower ceiling.
Lastly, make sure you keep up to date on the player statistics, rankings and even the cheat sheets that circulate through the Internet. Sometimes the website hosting your league will post relevant information, but I've found another site that's much more complete with schedules, team stats, injuries, positions, rosters, depth charts, and much more!
Are you looking to improve your ranking in your office league? Check out the most comprehensive and easy-to-access fantasy football projections site on the planet at fantasyfootballchallenge.com.

Waht you need to do is look up their stats from last season and the season before that. If the player did great in 06…and amazing in 07 you can predict bold numbers. If they had amazing stats in 06 but not so much in 07 then you want to average out from the past 2 seasons.

It tries to project how well a player will do. In your league there should be area/section that says how the scoring works. Once added up together it projects that of your starters.

ESPN.com and SportingNews.com work but the best site to use is below. It’s great, a wide variety of information.

I think Yahoo.com and SportsIllustrated.com might also have weekly projections I’m not sure.

Make your own guesses. No “expert” can project what a player is going to do.

Which websites provide weekly fantasy football player rankings and/or point projections?
I’d like to use a wide variety of sites to decide who to start on my team each week.
Either a numerical ranking of players or an actual projected point total would be useful.
Thanks!
