Week 3 of the NFL season is upon us and we can now begin to start analyzing some of the trends and patterns that will help us more accurately predict weekly IDP performance. Here are some of the more noticeable trends I’ve observed so far this season: — Philadelphia, Buffalo, Carolina, and Pittsburgh have all…
I thought I would introduce a new in-season article this year in which I discuss a few players who’s fantasy value has either gone up or down depending on their performance, role changes, injury concerns, etc. from the previous week. I will try to get this article out every Thursday for your reading pleasure. Stock…
Hello and welcome to The IDP Guru’s “Waiver Wire Pickups” for Week 2 of the 2010 NFL season. I must admit I’m feeling pretty damn good about my Derrick Johnson and Patrick Chung recommendations last week. It always feels good to hit the nail on the head early in the season and get yourself a…
Hello and welcome back to The IDP Guru’s “Weekly Waiver Wire Pickups.” I’ve been working hard all off-season studying game film, looking at in-depth defensive statistics and ratios, and compiling various resources to make my prognostication skills even better this season.
