Fantasy Football: Overrated/Underrated

Believe it or not, the fantasy football season is barreling down upon us. Also barreling down on you is useless crappy fantasy advice left and right. No worries my friends! That is where I come in. What are my credentials you ask? I believe that in 15 years of fantasy football I have a career .500 record! I can guarantee that by taking my advice, you too should finish someone in the middle of the pack….but hey, at least you won’t suck!

 **Note: The ‘Overrated’ designation does not mean the player sucks, it simply means the player is going to under produce based on their draft position and a similar player (production wise) could be had later in the draft. Likewise, the ‘Underrated’ designation does not mean the player is great, but simply that the player will over produce based on where they are drafted.
