Good article from Dave Richard of CBS Sportsline
For many of you, the Fantasy Football season is just beginning. The playoffs have arrived and you're just a few more wins away from taking home your league's championship.
But for even more of you out there, the Fantasy Football season is over. The bad weeks outnumbered the good, and ultimately, the players you drafted didn't pan out for you.
Where did it all go wrong? Chances are, things went sour during the summer -- on the day you drafted your Fantasy squad. Only you didn't know it.
Consensus top-12 Fantasy draft picks this year included Edgerrin James, LaMont Jordan and Cadillac Williams, with Willis McGahee close to that range. Reggie Bush wasn't advised as a second-round pick, but that's where he went in many drafts. Randy Moss, Santana Moss and Chris Chambers were all top-15 receivers. Don't even get me started on Domanick Davis or Daunte Culpepper. You may have survived if you drafted one of these players. But if you drafted (and stood by) more than one, you were in trouble.
It can be said every year: Fantasy playoff berths can be directly related to Fantasy draft success.
So you're out of the Fantasy playoffs. So what? Unless you're hanging up the clipboard, you need to start paying attention to what happens at the end of this season. See which players start to put it all together. An example of that is Matt Jones, who had a breakout game at Miami with 128 yards and a touchdown in Week 13. If he ends the season strong, this is a guy you'll want to have on your Fantasy draft list in 2007.
That's where we come in. We're watching, too. If your season is over, now's not the time to ignore football. Now you're going to see what Derek Anderson, Jay Cutler and Jason Campbell can do. You might get a glimpse of Chris Taylor, Earnest Graham or ReShard Lee running the ball. Or you could see a big catch by Brandon Marshall, Travis Wilson or Chad Jackson. You want to get an idea of how the players of tomorrow look so that you can be better prepared to draft them next summer.
My personal No. 1 rule of drafting: Pick talented players regardless of the depth chart. Players who are good at the game they're paid to play are seeing the field sooner every year. Your goal should be to find these gems and keep them in mind when you draft next season. That way, you can leave your draft knowing you took some great players, and that will give you a shot to win the championship.
So get your binoculars and your note pad -- the time of year to start scouting has arrived.
