Fantasy Football 2013:

Feed The Beast (QB Preview)

BEAST DOME NATION.

Are you ready BEAST DOME NATION.  Are you really ready for a full season of Fantasy Football?

We are still plenty of time away from Week 1 of the Fantasy Football Season (3 Full Months + 1 Week to be exact).  So with that being said, the content will be spread out until we get closer until Mid-July.  For now sit back, relax, and get ready for some knowledge.

V.I.P. Package Information will be coming soon.  For now read a Testimonial from a current V.I.P. #3 Member of Fantasy Baseball.

V.I.P. #3 Testimonial

– Dave K

I was down in my H-2-H Matchup heading into Sunday with my opponent done pitching leading in ERA/WHIP/K and Tied in Wins. I was hesitant to give up any of my starting pitchers to the wire and considered the week a loss, so I emailed Munt late Saturday night asking what should I do?

Early Sunday morning I got his email, he told me to drop Ubaldo Jimenez and add Bartolo Colon.  Sunday Colon threw a 7 INN shutout and had 9 Ks as well as picking up the Win.  The Win was a huge plus because my opponent picked up a cheap one from his RP. Needless to say my Memorial Day Weekend got that much better, not only did I get the Win but I almost took every category.  Thank you for taking time out of your Holiday weekend to get back to me so soon.

V.I.P. #3 is the only way to go to win your Fantasy Baseball Championship; the G-Mail chat is such an added plus to the VIP package this year!!! Where else in just a few minutes of time can you bounce all waiver and trade option questions off one of the leading expert!!!

Call me the RGIII of the Fantasy Football Expert Circuit.  Which is the perfect introduction for this article.

Let me paint you a picture.

It is 2012 draft day.

You look at the list of QBs and think to yourself…Do I go after Tom Brady/Drew Brees/Aaron Rodgers in Round 1/2?  Or do I wait until the middle of my draft and hope to snag Eli Manning or Tony Romo.  Maybe take a chance Peyton Manning comes back strong?

With the feeling that outside of the Top 3, you were really taking a chance at QB.  A position you cannot take a chance.  Even Cam Newton had Bust Potential!

Now fast-forward to the present.  

It is 2013 draft day.

You look at the list of QBs and think to yourself.  Why should I waste a high draft pick on any QB.  Sure Tom Brady/Aaron Rodgers/Drew Brees are automatic options.  But we are in a new ERA of QBs.

CASE STUDY #1 

Tom Brady vs. Russell Wilson

 

Tom Brady

300 Passing Yards/3 TDs.  24 Standard Scoring Points.

Russell Wilson

250 Passing Yards/1 TD + 80 Rushing Yards/1 Rushing TD. 28 Standard Scoring Points.

QB Scoring is completely in favor of Rushing QBs.  The last time we really had a good core of Running QBs had to be back when Donovan McNabb used to run with Philadelphia.  It was between Michael Vick/McNabb and Daunte Culpepper.  Andrew Luck is the clone of Daunte Culpepper if you have not noticed by now.  The clone of McNabb has to be Big Ben circa 2011.

My QB Rankings will not be released until July, so for now you can see the long extensive list of Running QBs in Fantasy Football for 2013.

DUAL THREAT QBs

*Not Ranked in Official Order*

AARON RODGERS – QB – GB

CAM NEWTON – QB – CAR

ROBERT GRIFFIN III – QB – WAS

ANDREW LUCK – QB – IND

RUSSELL WILSON – QB – SEA

COLIN KAEPERNICK – QB – SF

MICHAEL VICK – QB – PHI

That is 7 QBs right there who can blow up for monster Fantasy days on any given Sunday.

While Michael Vick used to be on the top of this class, he now finds himself on the unofficial bottom.  It is easy to give up all faith in Vick, but you can’t.  He now comes at such a cheap price where you have to take him as a backup.  Let us not forget he was a 1st/2nd Round Pick two seasons ago.  If the Eagles get their offensive line problems together he can take off to another level.  The weapons still exist in LeSean McCoy/Jeremy Maclin/Desean Jackson.

 

300+ YARD QBs

*Not Ranked in Official Order*

PEYTON MANNING – QB – DEN

AARON RODGERS – QB – GB

TOM BRADY – QB – NE

DREW BREES – QB – NO

MATT RYAN – QB – ATL

ANDREW LUCK – QB – IND

MATT STAFFORD – QB – DET

ELI MANNING – QB – NYG

TONY ROMO – QB – DAL

There are 9 QBs on this list, two of which are also on the Dual Threat list (Rodgers/Luck).

When you combine the total of QBs on these two lists, that gives us 14 QBs.  Matthew Stafford who was a 2nd/3rd Round Pick in 2012, may now be the last starting QB selected in a 10 Team League.  While I would hate to have Tony Romo/Eli Manning/Michael Vick be my starters, you can now fill out your entire roster and select them as top notch backups.  Which is a potential strategy on draft day that you should implement.

I did not mention Ben Roethlisberger or Phillip Rivers who were both selected around the Top 10 QBs in 2012.  Good reason for both to be avoided in 2013.  Big Ben lost Mike Wallace to Miami.  Rivers has the throwing arm of a 13 Year Old Girl.

Regardless you can see that this Fantasy Football Season is extra QB friendly.
