Are you are numbers Person?
Are you a numbers person or a gut feel person?
All of us tend to think we are both, and you really have to be to be a sucessfull fantasy football drafter. The problem is that it is tough to be both. For instance, numbers would have told you a few years ago that brady and moss might have good years but moss would be a risk. Gut feel would have told you that Brady is an excellent qb and Moss is an exceptional receiver. Couple the 2 and you have a recipie for success. In one of my leagues a number 3 pick used his 1st on Brady and 2nd on Moss. Needless to say he ran away with the championship but left everyone at the draft scratching their heads. On the flip side being a gut feel person gave him stephen jackson and a bunch of seahawks players last year which put the same person in last place!
Numbers and history are a good trend to establish a basis but ultimately you need to move guys up and down according to how you feel they will do. …but don’t reach too much on too many players or you may end up in last place too.
