2012 RotoRob NFL Draft Kit: Team Defense Rankings

All right, we’ve all heard the time-honoured Fantasy advice concerning your team defense: wait, wait and wait a little longer before making your move on draft day. The problem with some of these ancient axioms is that they were forged back in the days when Fantasy defenses accumulated points for sacks, turnovers, defensive touchdowns and – maybe – special teams’ scores. Times have changed, and so should your Fantasy strategy when it comes to team defenses.

2012 RotoRob MLB Draft Kit: Top 10 Busts

The Grandy Man handled southpaws like never before in 2011, smacking out an absurd 24.6 HR/FB rate. While he’s only a career .226 hitter against lefties (with an equally underwhelming 685 OPS), he somehow managed to post a .272/.347/.597 slash line against portsiders in 2011. Granderson obliterated his career highs in runs (136 – previous best 122), homers (41, up from 30) and RBIs (119, from his old high of 73) last year, and it’s tough to buy in on the sustainability of that kind of breakout. Granderson should be very good again, especially in the potent Yankee lineup, but be careful not to expect a repeat of his gaudy 2011 numbers.

The Wire Troll: Rex Grossman Getting it Done

Well, here we are: Championship Week. If you’re still with us, congratulations on making it to the top of the mountain. Well, not exactly the top; there’s some other bloke standing on the other side of the peak with a stupid grin on his/her face, thinking that they have some claim to your prize. Your Week 16 task: Remove that grin, eject the aforementioned bloke and enjoy the view. It’s been a long, hard path to the top, and we’re not about to stop now, are we? Let those other losers count the days until pitchers and catchers report; for us, it’s still all about football. There are still some sneaky options out there on the wire that can help turn the tides of fortune even here in the 11th hour, so don’t be afraid to make a grab for the flavour of the day. Ummmm… tastes like… victory.

The Wire Troll: The Emergence of Jake Locker

Though Locker came up five yards short of a victory, his performance was impressive enough that he may earn the start Sunday against the woeful Indianapolis Colts. Locker has a cannon for an arm, and the rookie should be able to amass some decent numbers against Indy’s soft secondary. Consider adding him in two-quarterback formats and he’s a must-add in dynasty leagues.

The Wire Troll: The Return of Kevin Kolb

With Forte on the shelf and the Bears’ passing attack lethargic at best, Barber figures to see a fairly heavy workload for at least the near future. That may not translate into big Fantasy points, though, as Chicago will face plenty of eight-man fronts if it can’t get the aerial game going. Barber is a capable back, though, and should be a decent flex option as long as Forte is sidelined.

The Wire Troll: Matt Moore on a Nice Run

This is the last week of the regular season in many Fantasy leagues, and hopefully you’re still in the running for a playoff berth. I hope that our offerings this week will help pave the road to Fantasy success as the NFL season enters the home stretch. Now’s the time to tool up for Fantasy’s second season; and if you’re way out in front of the pack, don’t rest on your laurels, as all it takes is one huge week to bring you down.

The Wire Troll: Matt Leinart Gets Another Shot

With Peterson out for at least one game with his high ankle sprain, the Vikes (and countless Fantasy owners) will turn to Gerhart to try to overcome the loss of one of the game’s most elite talents. Sorry, it won’t happen — but Gerhart should at least be in line for goal-line work, as his 230-plus pound frame makes him a load in the trenches.
