My last little tip to help all you fantasy owners out there is a pretty simple concept. When it comes to drafting WRs and RBs for my team I tend to pick players who are on above .500 teams. I will explain.
WRs and RBs are typically score higher than other positions on your fantasy team(besides QB). So for example, I like to stay away from certain teams who have a sub par QB when i'm looking for a WR, and the Arizona Cardinals are a perfect example, why draft Larry Fitzgerald when he's got Kevin Kolb and John Skelton throwing him the ball? They both look absolutely terrible this preseason. Yes, Larry Fitzgerald will still put up numbers, but they are not maximizing his potential down there in Arizona with two awful QBs who can't get him the ball as often as say a Tom Brady could. Calvin Johnson and any Green Bay Packer receiver would be way better to have on your team. My example for RBs is Chris Johnson. The Titans haven't named a starter, and neither starter looks good this preseason. This leads me to believe that this team is going to struggle to put the ball in the air this year and rely heavily on Chris Johnson's ability and I don't like that all. Once a team becomes one dimensional it makes it easier on the defense to key on a guy like Chris Johnson and stop the run. This is why a guy like RB McCoy for the Philadelphia Eagles is a more valuable pick in fantasy football. The Eagles are able to keep defenses honest by stretching the field with their WRs giving more running room for a keen RB like McCoy.
