One of the most important parts of being in an NFL fantasy league is understanding the statistics and the economics of the sport. Knowing football is important, but understanding when a player might be overvalued is even more important. A classic example would be the effects of age on certain positions. Obviously running backs don?t age very well. They take a fantastic amount of punishment, and need to be not just blazing fast, but lightening quick. People know to avoid a running back on the wrong side of 30, what happens to wide receivers though? You might be better off asking the Economics department at UCLA than the football coaches at USC, because of the two groups in Los Angeles, CA they?re more likely to be able to find an answer.

From a football purist you?re going to hear about the value he has to a team as a threat, how he?ll force the safety to play deep over him and create more space underneath for tight ends and other wide receivers. From an economist or statistician you?ll hear a breakdown of how that type of player ages. Injuries and time will take a bit of speed away from a player, and when speed is your biggest weapon it doesn?t take much for the difference to be profound. By not getting as involved in an individual player, but by comparing him to similar players you can build an accurate perspective. That?s why even though the coaching staff at USC knows a lot more about football than the statisticians and Economists at UCLA (not that UCLA doesn?t have a good football program, but because USC has more national acclaim, and UCLA has one of the more storied economics departments) are going to give you a more accurate and realistic answer as to the effects of age on a speedy wide receiver?s fantasy league statistics.

It?s easy for someone in New York, NY to understand the statistics of the surrounding teams, the two teams out of New York, NY, the Bills, and the Patriots. The amount of news and information they get on those teams will be highest, but it?ll be hard to win by constructing a team only out of those four teams. You don?t have to be great at fantasy league statistics to understand the danger that can come from over parochialism. If we use the example of the person from New York, NY who only knows about his/her local teams we can see the problem right off the bat: lack of depth at certain positions. If you only want to go with the guys you know, you better hope you get Tom Brady or Eli Manning at QB, otherwise the only other quarterbacks you know about are Sanchez, Tebow, or Fitzpatrick, each of whom has his moments, but are not the sort of lead QB you want for a fantasy football team.

Instead you have to cast a wider net and learn about other teams, you want to learn about the ins and outs of fantasy football as a whole. There are companies and websites that do nothing but break down fantasy league statistics and help you know who to draft, who to start, and who to sit. Fantasy league statistics can be a bit much for some people, and if you?ve got a strong competitive streak, or a lot of money riding on it then you might want to get assistance. It?s already been mentioned but the internet is riff with assistance for Fantasy league statistics. Whether it is sites to keep yourself abreast of the news, sites to help you micro manage your team, or just sites with people outlining strategy and ideas, there are more resources than ever for fantasy football fans. That way you?re not bound by what you can find on sports networks or in the local New York, NY papers.

Rex Ryan?s a fantastic defensive coach but Revis made that defense what it was. On the flip side an NFL fantasy league team owner doesn?t have to be worried about sitting a #1 WR going to play the New York Jets. It can be hard for people in non-NFL towns to keep up to date on all the minutiae of NFL news, injuries, weather and strategy. For NFL fantasy league members in Los Angeles, CA it can be a bit trickier to keep on top of the comings and goings of the NFL, and its impact on your team. Thankfully there are sites that will either aggregate fantasy relevant information, post simple information (injury information and weather updates) or ones dedicated to helping members organize their teams for optimal returns. Not everyone has the time to do in-depth research on every aspect of the NFL and every relevant player, getting that leg up can be a massive boon to paid NFL fantasy leagues.

IT can be done casually, or with high intensity. Some people will spend hours number crunching their team to find out who they should start and sit. Others will play the hometown guys no matter what. For example you might see someone who knows to start a pass catching running back against the NE Patriots because this year (2012) they leave the shallow flats open and allow a lot of completions. There?s also the person who will start players from the Jets or the Giants purely because that person?s from New York, NY and wants to go with the home town guys. You obviously don?t want to be the guy who only plays players from New York, NY. It all comes down to matchups and schemes. To be really good at fantasy football you actually have to be good at understanding football.
