NFL Draft Prospects that will be Great Fantasy...
by Cris Benson
Every NFL draft guru has said the 2013 NFL Draft will not produce the offensive talent of the 2012 NFL Draft. I still believe their is room for NFL draft prospect to make a fantasy football impact come this fall.
Will someone take a quarterback in the first round of the NFL draft? Of course they will. Teams such as the Buffalo Bills, Arizona Cardinals, and even maybe the New...

Could the Atlanta Falcons Reignite Steven...
Last season the St Louis Rams depended on running-back Steven Jackson and he didn’t disappoint. Jackson produced his eighth consecutive season with over 1000 yards on the ground.
Jackson now joins the Atlanta Falcons who were a game away from reaching the Super Bowl last season. Offensive Coordinator Dirk Koetter must be salivating over the addition of Jackson to his high scoring offense.

The Fantasy Football Value of Receivers in Free...
Before NFL Free Agency began Tuesday it was more than likely you knew the value of players such as Anquan Boldin, Wes Welker, and Danny Amendola. However all these players now in new cities, with new offensive minds, and new quarterbacks, and nothing is the same. How can we come to a simple solution to solve the equation of what is their fantasy football value? The answer is if you if you had that...

The Dolphins Spent Big Money on WR Mike Wallace...
Mike Wallace is a rich man this morning after agreeing to a five year deal $65 million dollars and $30 million guaranteed with the Miami Dolphins. However does that mean you should be as eager as the Dolphins to spend a high draft pick and big bucks in auction drafts come fantasy football draft day?
The Answer is YES!
Wallace is in his prime and has a proven history of being a big play receiver...

Could the Pistol Offense Raise the Fantasy Stock...
The NFC West was already a difficult division to play in now the Seattle Seahawks have made it even more difficult acquiring wide receiver Percy Harvin from the Minnesota Vikings.
Now you may ask how the pistol is going to increase the fantasy value of Percy Harvin or even better will it increase his value? Well first let’s look at Harvin’s career with the Minnesota Vikings and how the new offense...

Will Andy Reid Raise the Fantasy Football Stock of...
by Cris Benson
While I don’t often care to speculate on the fantasy value of most fantasy football players in March I can’t help but wonder? Is Andy Reid’s West Coast Offense going to enhance the fantasy draft stock of the Chiefs? Do the Chiefs have the potential to be an explosive offense? Can Alex Smith put the Chiefs receivers back on the fantasy football radar? Will Jamaal Charles remain a...

Did Runningback Become Overvalued in the 2012...
The 2012 fantasy football season was the season of the comeback. Peyton Manning, against my own suspicions, made a great run for many fantasy football teams. Adrian Peterson defied every fantasy expert who said to pass on him in your fantasy football draft. Most of all I myself made somewhat of a comeback wining a fantasy football championship after having a sour 2011 season and erasing a loss...

The Informer is taking a Hiatus
Two years ago I started this blog and it was all about linking the latest info from the best sources.

However I have to many obstacles and not enough time to devote to this blog.
Early in the start of this season it became clear I would not have the time to do the research and...

Fantasy Football Fever Week Seven
When I last posted my fantasy football advice column I went on a bit of a rant. While it was out of sheer frustration with a few imbeciles who read, write, and broadcast fantasy football I was only trying to prove one simple point.
DON’T BLAME ME because I don’t get paid for this.
Over the Bears bye week I started comparing my record to others who are so called experts (who by the way are paid,...

Fantasy Football Fever Week 5
Last week I sold you on four players who had very good week fours including Peyton Manning, Desean Jackson, Adrian Peterson, and Vincent Jackson. However I have to own my choice of putting New England RB Stevan Ridley on the D.O.A list. While Ridley resurrected his fantasy football performance with over one hundred rushing yards and two touchdowns he wasn’t my only mistake on the D.O.A list.

This week Berry is going on a limb with one more then one pick but that one pick is a real long shot.
His picks are not all bad but I just don’t understand how a guy who has a...

ESPN.com This is what I “love” about Mathew Berry’s Love Hate column; when your able to tell a story and be funny without even trying to be funny. That is pure talent. Some fantasy football columns use witty phrases, a play on words, and you read it while trying to keep your eyes open wondering when the writer will ever get to a point.
Case in point what I am doing now.
