« Previous EntriesCheatsheet update: Behind the WR numbers
Sunday, August 17th, 2008As camps have opened my perceptions of many college football offenses have changed. Coaches banter in vaguaries, ACLs get shredded, and quarterbacks are missing in action.
Given all the movement in my current WR list from the original one in July, I thought I would share some of the rationale.
Bryan Anderson and Dez Bryant flop spots [...]
Player Spotlight: Freshman WR Fred Smith of Michigan State
Sunday, August 17th, 2008The Michigan State coaching staff knew heading into the 2008 preseason that finding a replacement for former standout wide receiver, Devin Thomas , wasn’t going to be an easy task. Fortunately, it seems that incoming freshman recruit at wideout, Fred Smith , is about to make that process a much [...]
The Trend is Your Friend - Michael Crabtree
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008Michael Crabtree (left, Icon SMI) had one of the better fantasy seasons by a wide receiver in the last 20 years and there are already people predicting an even better season this year. There are plenty of factors that appear to play into this thinking. One is the fact that Texas Tech has an [...]
Wide Receiver Rankings: Top 25
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008After writing down every wideout in the country on an index card then sorting them out into tranches, I was smacked upside the head by two observations.

DeAndre Brown cleared to play for Southern Miss
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008Orlando sentinel reports (scroll past the bellyaching George O’Leary - ironic he criticizes truth in reporting) from Conference USA Media Day that all-everything freshman WR DeAndre Brown made it through the NCAA Clearinghouse and can begin practices with the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles. This news truly upgrades the entire offense under new Head Coach Larry [...]
CHEATSHEET v1: Top 55 Fantasy College WRs
Thursday, July 10th, 2008 Certain things you can count on in this life. Death. Taxes. Jack Bauer beating the bad guys. Drew Smith being properly caffeinated by noon. Texas Tech wide receivers shock and awe defenses every year.
I know everyone saw Mike Crabtree (right, Icon SMI) coming last year, but you didn’t see those huge numbers coming [...]
Player Spotlight: Austin Collie, BYU WR
Monday, June 23rd, 2008It would be one of the worst puns of all time to say that BYU WR Austin Collie (right, ICON SMI) is a man on a mission, but it looks true to me this year. Collie has taken a circuitous route to play major college football (at least for those outside Provo) and [...]
Fresh Faces in College Football 2008
Thursday, May 29th, 2008I have been writing about fantasy sports for going on six years now, mainly about baseball . In that time, I made a niche as one of the early guys who covered minor league baseball players from a fantasy baseball perspective because I was always looking for ways to get ahead of the competition [...]
