fantasy sports 'experts' are laughable

[Huellz Santana]

i can't believe people get paid for this.

i can't believe people email and ask these guys all these questions. a bunch of people who have no idea what's going to happen asking a bunch of people who have no idea what's going to happen for advice.



not obviously there are things that make people more knowledgeable than another in fantasy but it always kills me when I see "Should I start Russel Wilson or Andy Dalton this week?" and they'll hang on that experts every word.

and @ the Patriots btw for being terrible this year​

The ESPN Crew of "experts"(Berry, Karabell, etc) is trash....Brandon Funston of Yahoo & Nathan Zegura of CBS are both pretty good.

The awful & easy questions they get asked everyday.....
"Do I start Adrian Peterson or Mark Ingram?"

i can't stand matthew berry.. but he's like the gatekeeper for this fantasy nerd shyt.

anybody playing ff and wanting to actually put in some research will start with berry.

dude took advantage of ff 100% i have no idea how much money he makes.. but i guarantee it's too gotdamn much. his podcast is

in the end, it's just guesswork. most sports experts are just guessing. football is too volatile week to week, year to year, to take any predictions seriously.

i'll still listen to a couple podcasts and visit some sites though.. i like to hear different povs and i love ff

but i like forums where regular dudes are just chatting about players too.

dude's told me to play Kenbrell Thompkins

 

[Anbesa]

thats why i use fantasypros

they compile the rankings of like 100+ experts and average them out
they even have the over all accuracy of each expert so you know whos on that bs and whos legit

I don't really listen to any of these cats....but I think Matthew Berry is hilarious. Listen to the fantasy baseball podcast every damn day

I dunno...if you ain't fukkin' with Rotoworld (specifically the Evan Silva matchup column), you ain't trying to win

They are pretty horrible. It's a lot of just throwing shyt against the wall and hoping it sticks via opinions based on personal preference and gut feelings. Very few of them actually watch game tape. Some of them I guarantee just look at the fantasy points and box scores.

I'll still never understand how they were able to convince people to draft Lamar Miller in the top 3 rounds.

Agreed for the most part. Like I mentioned above though, people should scope out this weekly column when making lineup decisions. Silva does watch tape and his analysis is pretty in-depth.

The whole running back for the first 12-15 picks logic this year is looking retarded in hindsight.

I listen to the CBS cats because they all seem to have their own style.
But at the end of the day you have to do what the fukk you want to do.

Every last expert said draft Lamar Miller

its still early.. but yeah WRs are beasting right now

But people like Brady going in 5th or 6th round, kaepernick going in 7th makes no sense going after people like montee ball and Lamar miller

I understand lack of depth for a position but its on the draftee to react to that, rankings should be who will give the most production

 

[NamelessPimp]

giving fantasy advice is getting so competitive that some of these "experts" need to hype up players like Lamar Miller in case they have a big year it looks like they predicted it. I avoided any John Fox running back without a doubt and I'm hopefully going to eat at everyone putting Darren McFadden so low in the rankings.
