Well, the results are in for the fantasy football preseason ranking award Fantazzle won last year. No repeat / :

We had a decent ranking in the QB ranking, but didn’t place in the other positions. Its too bad, but you can’t win ‘em all and no one can take 2008 away from us (this isn’t college sports hehe). I think it will be great to start seeing an average created over the past several years and the future. Hopefully we’ll see a strong showing by Fantazzle with the average and a strong showing with our fantasy football 2010 predictions.

Fantazzle did a series of preseason NFL predictions before the season started. With the Super Bowl approaching, lets take a look at how we did.

Lets start with the NFL NFC 2009 Predictions

NFC East

Our analysis on how the standing could turn out here were pretty close. Key injuries were important, but there actually were not many of them in the division. I would say the biggest injuries that happened in the NFC East were to the NYG’s defense. Their whole was nicked up from start to finish and they ultimately became the team that lost out in the division and on our predicted Wild Card spot. We got Dallas right winning the division and Philly getting a WC. And we were right that it was a coin flip on who would take it. Dallas and Philly had the same record and the division winner was determined in Week 17. We were off saying Washington had a shot at the playoffs as well. We didn’t give them much of a chance, but they didn’t even deserve a mention. They were absolutely embarrassing.

With regards to our fantasy football player predictions, we were on point about Tony Romo. He finished ~6th in most leagues and two of the QBs ahead of him were so close it really didn’t matter which player you owned. He was easily a Tier 2 QB and a real bargain at draft time. We liked WAS as a BYE week and situational play defense. We weren’t right, but weren’t exactly wrong. It really depends on the scoring of your league. WAS was horrible in most leagues because they did not score many fantasy points in categories like INTs, fumbles recovered and most especially defensive TDs (they got 0). However, if you played in a league that gave points for points against or yards given up, they were ok. WAS had one of the better defenses, but was FAR from special. At the end of the day, we’ll take a ‘we were wrong’ here. Lastly, we said PHI and NYG WRs will not be good fantasy picks. Our reasoning was that these teams will spread the ball around and in NYG’s situation who the heck knows who will come out of the pack before the season starts. Well, it was Steve Smith and he was a top 10 WR. Not to mention DeSean Jackson who was a top 5. Way off here. I will say in defense that Steve Smith was still a risky pick because things weren’t settled in who would be the guy before the season started and DeSean Jackson was one catch away every game of being an average WR. Just so happens that in over half of his games he would come up with a over 40 yard reception for a TD. In any case, we owe you all one there.

NFC North

Our Super Bowl pick, the Minnesota Vikings walked away with the division. They were looking like a great pick for the Super Bowl until last weekend when they met our NFC South divisional pick. We were right on the money with our divisional picks here except we pulled the trigger on NYG to be the Wild Card over GB. Other than that, great predicitions.

Onto the fantasy football player predictions. Not so good. You’d think we were a handicapper instead of a fantasy football game site. Our division standings were great, but our fantasy football picks, not so much. Greg Olsen did not have a big year as predicted. We went as far as saying he would be a top 3 TE. He came in 11th, not breaking the top 10. Very frustrating as he had so much potential (next year…?). Aaron Rodgers overrated? Not so much, he was the #1 fantasy football QB in most leagues. We knew he was top 5 material, we just didn’t think he was worth all the hype. I guess now we know (its beyond me how he did it with such a bad offensive line in front of him…he deserves even more credit).

We finally had a good call with the GB defense. We had them ranked relatively high and our biggest D/ST sleeper. They didn’t disappoint with a top 5 finish.

NFC South

Again, we did very well with the division standings and writeup. We liked the NO Saints to win for two reasons: A) the moves they made in the off season specifically Darren Sharper leading the defense and B) the past 6 years the team that finished last, finished first the next season (TB in 2010…?).

As far as fantasy players, we had Marques Colston returning to his former self which is pretty close. He was just outside of the top 10 and finished where we expected him to. Michael Clayton relevant again….shoot me in my head now. I just want to forget that was ever said. Moving on…Tony Gonzales risky. Hmmm, not so much now that the season is over. He found his groove with Ryan. He finished ~5th. Down from last year, but definitely not a bust. I still stand by staying away from him before knowing what we know. Its always a risky situation. Lastly, we said that DeAngelo would be a risky RB pick. We thought he would play well and be a top 10, but not command an early first round pick. We were correct with this. He finished 12th and even if he did not get injured at the end, he would have been right around where we expected him to be.

NFC West

Well we didn’t see this division correctly. We had Seattle winning the division and AZ feeling the effects of the Super Bowl curse (in fact it was PIT who were cursed). We did, however see something in the 49ers as they stayed competitive in the division and have a bright future.

Its kind of funny, but the one division we were totally off on for standings, we may some great fantasy football predictions. We asked why everyone was looking at Steven Jackson as a top 5 fantasy RB. He finished in the top 10, but he wasn’t close to being a great pick in the first round. Vernon Davis was DEFINITELY worth a roster spot. Wish we were more bold on our writeup, but we did see something special in V Davis. He has the skills to continue to play this well for years to come. We loved Nate Burleson and he delivered. He finished ~30th making him an easy #3 WR or flex on many fantasy football teams. He wasn’t drafted in many leagues. A complete steal. John Carlson was the ~11th best fantasy football TE making him a starting TE in a 12 person league. We liked him a little more than this finish (we had him as the 8th best), but still a pretty close prediction. Our J Jones prediction…not so good. We thought he was one of the most under-rated RBs in 2009. Not so much. Sorry about that one. We had him as 16th and he finished ~32nd.

Playoffs

We did pretty well with our playoff predictions. We got AZ wrong (we had SEA) and the 2nd WC spot wrong (we had NYG and it was GB). DAL vs MIN for the NFC conference was one week too early of a matchup. And MIN to represent the NFC was one Brett Favre INT away from happening….Still all in all, I don’t feel too bad about the picks.

We could have done better with our fantasy football advice here. We hit some and others not so much. We’ll look to have a stronger showing in 2010.

Play fantasy football while others have been done since Week 16. Fantazzle also has fantasy golf – fantasy racing – fantasy hockey and fantasy basketball games currently available.

As most of you know, we sponsored Steve Smith (NYG) to get to the 2010 NFL Pro Bowl. We had a fantasy football game promotion all set around it where you could win free fantasy football promotional items like footballs autographed by Steve Smith. Well, Steve didn’t get automatically voted in. Larry Fitzgerald and DeSean Jackson got the starting nods with Miles Austin and Sidney Rice as reserves. Larry Fitz won’t be able to play so Steve Smith is in. Its pretty darn good to be considered the top 5 in the NFL at your position. All of these guys are great and Steve is a stud NFL wide receiver AND fantasy football wide receiver to boot.

Congrats Steve! Wishing you much success at the Pro Bowl and in the years to come.

Hi all,

Fantazzle Weekly Fantasy Football Games is always trying something new and giving our users what they want. We have had several requests to make Thursday (and now Saturday games) relevant to our lineup of fantasy football games. So this week, we are introducing a new fantasy football salary cap game that will use players ONLY from this week’s Thursday and Saturday game.

And there is no time better to play this fantasy football game. Over 60% of fantasy football fans seasons are over due to bad years in their traditional fantasy football leagues plus these are two incredible games. Both 13-0 teams are playing, the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints, which both host some exciting fantasy football players. Now, thats not to say your going to have a lineup with Peyton, Brees, R Wayne, etc. This is a salary cap fantasy football game so you’ll get a few stars, but you’ll have to watch you budget. You’ll have to pick and choose wisely staying under a $1,000,000 salary cap.

This fantasy football game should be great for fans starting to go through some fantasy football withdrawal PLUS make these games exciting to watch. I’ll watch NFL games at any chance I get, but I know I’m the minority and not the former. I watched all 60 minutes of the Oakland/Washington game on Sunday (it was the only one on TV for me). Thats just me. But I know its tough for some to watch games when the the NFL team they support is not playing AND they have no fantasy football players playing. Makes the NFL game just a tad more boring. This special fantasy game hopes to combat this for you all. Sign up before the game starts on Thursday night at 8:20pm ET and be rewarded with the cash prize Saturday night after the NFL game ends. You’ll have the money deposited in your account IMMEDIATELY following the football game to give you plenty of time to register for our regular weekly fantasy football games that start on Sunday at 1pm ET.

Hope you all find these special fantasy football games exciting to play!

Also, if you missed it last week, we started a new fantasy football promotion. Besides our Steve Smith free fantasy football salary cap game (also make sure to vote for Steve Smith promotion presented by Fantazzle Weekly Fantasy Football Games for the 2010 Pro Bowl to win free tickets to the NFL Pro Bowl, airfare, hotel and dinner with Steve), we are offering another free fantasy football game and all you have to do is follow Fantazzle on Twitter. Follow us now and you can receive the URL for this free football game and win a cash prize.

Take care,

Hi all,

Fantazzle Weekly Fantasy Sports Games was fortunate enough to be on Fighting Chance Fantasy football podcast last night, Midnight Oil (and the name is true to form as it was at midnight). No worries, you can listen to all the shows on Fantazzle’s fantasy sports community page. We have the latest podcast available there every day for your enjoyment. Besides Fighting Chance’s midnight fantasy football podcast, they also offer a football podcast on Tuesday (8pm ET) and Sunday morning (9:30am ET).

I thank Ryan and Jeff for the opportunity to talk about fantasy football. I can do that all day. I won’t lie, but it’s also great to get some words in about Fantazzle in the process. We were able to discuss the current Steve Smith free fantasy football games we are offering and the sponsorship we have with Steve’s 2010 Pro Bowl Football Promotion (sign up to win 2 free tix to the Pro Bowl, dinner with Steve, airfare and hotel stay). Plus we talked about how the fantasy football playoffs have or are about to start and how a lot of teams now have no one to root for on Sunday. Fantazzle’s weekly fantasy football games takes care of that issue since you can play games from week to week and always have some kind of fantasy football action happenin’.

Hi all,

I’d imagine that ~90% of head to head traditional fantasy football leagues have started their playoffs or this last weekend will determine your playoffs.  We are here to tell you about Fantazzle Weekly Fantasy Football Games. This isn’t a set your lineup advice fantasy football playoff article. If your looking for that, I recommend the following sites for that:

• Fighting Chance Fantasy – three podcasts a week and these guys know what they’re talking about. Not only that, but they are entertaining to listen to. Not an easy combo for podcasts. Check out Fighting Chance Fantasy website or go to Fantazzle’s fantasy sports community page for the latest podcast.
• Nova Fantasy Sports – great site for individual fantasy football player news and articles on fantasy football strategy. We use Nova’s info on Fantazzle’s fantasy football news section of our website.
• Fantasy Football Librarian – Great fantasy football blog with links to just about every relevant start/sit site out there.
• Fantasy Smack Talk - one of the better put together video casts about fantasy football.
• The League – ok this is not a fantasy football tip site, but to follow up on my article on The League, give this sitcom a try. Funny funny stuff!

So now that I have some great fantasy football advice sites out of the way, here’s the main reason for the article. Given ~90% of traditional fantasy football leagues have started or are about to start their fantasy football playoffs that means there are a minimum of 60% of fantasy football teams without anything to do. Thats where Fantazzle Weekly Fantasy Football Games come in. You can continue to play fantasy football all year by playing in our fantasy games. You can create new teams every week and continue to play fantasy football. Not only that, but Week 17 and the NFL football playoffs are right around the corner and at that time 99% of league seasons will be over. Fantazzle Football Games has got you covered by that as well. We’ll have games all the way up to the NFL Super Bowl.

If you haven’t tried Fantazzle Weekly Fantasy Games yet, now is the perfect time to give them a shot.

Sign up now and play in our entry fee games or you can try out our Steve Smith (NYG) free fantasy football game.

Being a president of a fantasy football games site, I got to stay on my toes with whats going on in the industry and what the voices out there say. In doing so, I have heard some ‘blah’ type comments about FX’s new 1/2 hour sitcom based on a fantasy football league called The League. My question: Why?

Its odd for two reasons:

1. Fantasy industry guys should be thrilled about a show focused on fantasy football. Its a dream come true in getting even more recognition and respect of such a huge phenomenon.
2. Its a GREAT SHOW!!!

Now most of the chatter hasn’t been harsh or critical, it has mostly been “Its ok” type talk . That couldn’t be further from my opinion of the show. To start, its funny. Take out any relationship to fantasy football and just look at the characters. They’re great and the dialogue is great. If you have any love for Fantazzle and/or the Fantazzle Blog, spare me 2:20 seconds and watch this clip. You can’t tell me that isn’t funny: from the song to the characters reactions. As far as I know, characters and dialogue are what make a show funny and this show has them both.

NOW, throw in the connection to fantasy football and I’m loving life! I think it would be great w/out it, but 100 times better with it. The one thing I was scared about with the show is the use of the typical fantasy football humor. You know TJ WhosYourDaddy type humor. Not so. Its fresh. The writers spent a lot of time figuring out how fantasy football can be funny and working on it with things that are not overused. Example: to figure out the draft order they did the typical pick a number from a hat, BUT that was only to know what kid you were backing in the potato sack race. If your league does something like this, I commend you. If it doesn’t, I guarantee there will be a lot more leagues doing something similar next year. It’s unique, thank gawd because that was my biggest worry about the show.

The only item I don’t care for much is the relationship/marriage type stuff. I’m sure its because I’m a single guy and can’t relate. Other than that, this show is great. Just like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, another comedy on FX, it pushes the envelope and I look forward to every episode.

If anyone from the show is reading this, send me an email, I’ll do anything I can to help promote the show. I love it that much.  If you haven’t seen it, give it a look. I believe you can watch past episode on FX’s website and it comes on Thursdays at 10:30pm ET. At least TiVo it if your out drinking at that time (which I’m sure the unmarried guys watching this show are probably are doing at this time). If you have already seen it and you were a ‘its ok’ type, I ask that you give it another shot. Help this show grow and be back again. This is a monumental moment for fantasy football and I urge you all to help that moment continue.
