Optimizing the off season

January 28th, 2010

What we need for fantasy football fans is a road map on how to Optimize the time between early February and the summer when the drafts begin. Fantasy Sports Optimizer (FSO) will be deligently working on Data Sense, the live Cheat Sheet and the Optimizer products for the upcoming season, but what can the average fantasy football fan do.

Here are a few ideas:
-Review your season and ask what one thing could you have done differently that would have made a material difference in your league. Not silly answers, like better players, but a look at your stategy and weekly player selection from your bench.
-See if matchups really made any difference?
-Compare total points to consistent points. Which would have been better?
-Look at reasons why some of your big stars just didn’t perform. Was it injuries, a new offensive scheme, an off year or was it the end of the run, like LT.

For fantasy football players in keeper leagues, this is a great time to check your assumtions on who is staying on your roster.
I know that it hurts to let go of a great player who had an off year, but look carefully, because it is much better to move on too soon, rather than a year too late. This is especially true of RBs. Also look to see who should have a bounce back year and get set to pounce on them early in the draft. Many Falcons for example should have good years ahead of them, assuming the injury jinx moves on to another team.

Finally, for any fantasy football fan, remember that the organizations that are strong year in and year out give you a leg up. One year wonders can lead your astray.

You can be much better prepared for mock drafts, checking the reliability of Cheat Sheets and player rankings with some analytical looks at what you want to do before all the hype begins.

Go Bears!!!! Go somewhere and get some offensive linemen and defensive backs!!!!
