Book Description
The Fantasy Football Almanac Last Updated On 7/27/2023 and includes analysis on DeAndre Hopkins signing with the Titans! Have you noticed most 2023 Fantasy Football Magazines and Fantasy Football Books tend to recycle the same information, the same sleepers and the same tiers? This is because they're all using the same information: last year's stats! A few years ago, I was like everyone else. I scoured the Internet and Fantasy Football publications searching for any advantage. I found myself reading 10-15 different books that all wound up telling me the same thing. Making things worse - they were telling all of my competition as well. That's when "sleeper" picks become overhyped and over drafted. To avoid draft day misses, I knew I had to dig into the data. I knew I had to watch film and after a while, I came to realize Fantasy Football success comes from knowing the offensive schemes and how a player's talents will be used in an offense. This is why the Fantasy Football Almanac projects players based on scheme fit, not past performance. Think about this. If all my Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was tell you about one undervalued player who is so far forgotten you could draft him and start him in the last round, would it be worth it? Or if all this Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was keep you from using your draft day picks on season-long busts? This is more than a fantasy football magazine. It's a fantasy football scouting agency. We blend next-gen sports analytics with good old fashion film study. I literally watch every single preseason game in order to properly calibrate this guide's rankings throughout the offseason. That's right, The Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide comes with FREE updates. You don't have to pay $5 a month to access them. If you buy the book, we have you covered. Included Within: 390+ detailed player writeups with three-year statistical progression included Instructions on how to interact with the author throughout the offseason Over half of the league has a new head coach or offensive coordinator. How does this impact fantasy potential? Sean shares insights based on film study and statistical analysis to project the impact of new offensive schemes. We've updated our algorithms to include play calling tendency of coaching staffs Other guides use historical data to project their totals. The Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide is the only fantasy football magazine that utilizes scouting for future rankings. Our draft strategy is primed to maximize the value of every draft pick. Defense and Kicker analysis has been completed to identify competitive advantage at these positions, which are commonly ignored We've completed an easy-to-follow draft guide with useful tips for fantasy football rookies and fantasy football experts alike Overall player "tiers" definition (which is more useful for draft strategy when playing in leagues with multiple team counts) Expanded sleeper list that is rooted in scouting, coaching analysis and analytics. You won't find these players in other guides! Risky players list, which identifies popular players that carry risk, are over-drafted based on our analysis and/or carry significant bust potential Fantasy Rankings for different league types: PPR, Non-PPR, 1/2 PPR, SuperFlex/Two QB, Dynasty, Rookie-only drafts and IDP We track 2023 offseason movement, coaching changes and draft selections

Book Description
Updated June 11th and includes analysis of the Julio Jones Trade! Have you noticed most 2021 Fantasy Football Magazines and Fantasy Football Books tend to recycle the same information, the same sleepers and the same tiers? This is because they're all using the same information: last year's stats! Last year's stats won't tell you how Justin Herbert will acclimate to his new offense or what new head coach Arthur Smith or the trade of Julio Jones will impact the Falcons offense. A few years ago, I was like everyone else. I scoured the Internet and Fantasy Football publications searching for any advantage. I found myself reading 10-15 different books that all wound up telling me the same thing. Making things worse - they were telling all of my competition as well. That's when "sleeper" picks become overhyped and over drafted. To avoid draft day misses, I knew I had to dig into the data. I knew I had to watch film and after a while, I came to realize Fantasy Football success comes from knowing the offensive schemes and how a player's talents will be used in an offense. This is why (as my Fantasy Football Book predicted) Josh Allen flourished last year. Think about this. If all my Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was tell you about one sleeper who is so far forgotten you could draft him and start him in the last round, would it be worth it? My readers who picked up J.K. Dobbins and Antonio Gibson in the middle rounds last year certainly think so. Or if all this Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was keep you from using your draft day picks on season-long busts? This is more than a fantasy football magazine.

Book Description
Have you noticed most 2020 Fantasy Football Magazines and Fantasy Football Books tend to recycle the same information, the same sleepers and the same tiers? This is because they're all using the same information: last year's stats! Last year's stats won't tell you how Mike McCarthy will utilize Ezekiel Elliot. They won't tell you if Mark Rhule is going to keep feeding Christian McCaffrey the ball. But The 2020 Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide does! A few years ago, I was like everyone else. I scoured the Internet and Fantasy Football publications searching for any advantage I could find. I found myself reading 10-15 different books that all wound up telling me the same thing.

This is why (as my Fantasy Football Book predicted) Lamar Jackson flourished in last year under Greg Roman's coaching and Le'Veon Bell disappointed in Adam Gase's offensive scheme). In fact, 7 of our 8 "Too Risky" picks were busts last season! Think about this. If all my Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was tell you about one sleeper who is so far forgotten you could draft him and start him in the last round, would it be worth it? My readers who picked up Darren Waller and Devin Singletary in the late rounds last year think so.

The Yucks
Author: Jason Vuic
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476772282
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Friday Night Lights meets The Bad News Bears in “a brisk, warmhearted reminder of how professional sports can occasionally reach stunning unprofessional depths” (Publishers Weekly): the first two seasons with the worst team in NFL history, the hapless, hilarious, and hopelessly winless 1976–1977 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Long before their first Super Bowl victory in 2003, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers did something no NFL team had ever done before and that none will ever likely do again: They lost twenty-six games in a row. This was no ordinary streak. Along with their ridiculous mascot and uniforms, which were known as “the Creamsicles,” the Yucks were a national punch line and personnel purgatory. Owned by the miserly and bulbous-nosed Hugh Culverhouse, the team was the end of the line for Heisman Trophy winner and University of Florida hero Steve Spurrier, and a banishment for former Cowboy defensive end Pat Toomay after he wrote a tell-all book about his time on “America’s Team.” Many players on the Bucs had been out of football for years, and it wasn’t uncommon for them to have to introduce themselves in the huddle. They were coached by the ever-quotable college great John McKay. “We can’t win at home and we can’t win on the road,” he said. “What we need is a neutral site.” But the Bucs were a part of something bigger, too. They were a gambit by promoters, journalists, and civic boosters to create a shared identity for a region that didn’t exist—Tampa Bay. Before the Yucks, “the Bay” was a body of water, and even the worst team in memory transformed Florida’s Gulf communities into a single region with a common cause. The Yucks is “a funny, endearing look at how the Bucs lost their way to success, cementing a region through creamsicle unis and John McKay one-liners” (Sports Illustrated).

The Yucks is “a funny, endearing look at how the Bucs lost their way to success, cementing a region through creamsicle unis and John McKay one-liners” (Sports Illustrated).

Book Description
Football fans have an innate desire to prove the media wrong. Since he started Freezing Cold Takes in 2015, Fred Segal has witnessed the guilty pleasure in revisiting the times sports media flat-out missed the mark. There is nothing better for fans than to read an old story about how their biggest division rival made a great pick when it turned out to be terrible and unsuccessful; no greater satisfaction than looking back at a tweet condemning your team to failure when the opposite turned out to be true. This book takes the concept, focuses on the NFL, and delves into 20 predictions that did not age well -- specifically about draft picks, hiring decisions, seasons, and games that would ultimately go down in NFL history. The book will expand on the concept that's made the social accounts so popular -- through interviews with media, players, and coaches, Fred will provide important background surrounding each featured mistake to give the reader essential context as to why the ill-fated prediction was made, but also why the outlet or personality who made the prediction is eating their words. A few illustrative examples: "The Dolphins should trade quarterback Dan Marino and keep second string quarterback Scott Mitchell" (1993) "The Patriots will regret hiring Bill Belichick" (2000) "The Packers' second-round draft pick QB Brian Brohm has more upside than Aaron Rodgers" (2008)
