Your Source for Free 2010 Fantasy Football Cheat Sheets

Look at several cheat sheets.  Getting multiple opinions on how player rankings shake out is a good idea.  By looking over a bunch of different cheatsheets, you can get a good grasp on the players that are highly valued and those that you should stay away from.  Understand that by the time fantasy magazines are printed and on the shelves, they are filled with information that is weeks or even months old.  Injuries may have occurred and players may have been cut or traded since their publication.  Fantasy magazines are a good reference, but they should be just a spring board into a deeper dive in your fantasy football research plan.  Internet cheat sheets, fantasy football articles on the web, and live television and radio programming can be very helpful resources to round out you predraft preparation.  You might even think about dropping $7.99 on my 2010 Premium Fantasy Football Cheat Sheet Subscription.  It is the result of the latest in player movement, injuries, and training camp buzz.  For the latest information, the $7.99 price tag is a bargain.

Become an adept fantasy football scout.  Some coaching staffs emphasize the running game as part of their offensive philosophy like Norv Turner.  Some prefer a high flying aerial attack like Mike Martz.  Take note of the tendencies of each coaching staff.  It will allow you to determine if you should be picking rushing or passing offensive starters from that team.  Teams with strong offensive lines or a record of a strong rushing philosophy like Denver’s zone blocking scheme are strong candidates for running back selection because they are consistent performers.  Teams with a pass friendly philosophy or strong passing personnel like Indianapolis, New England, and Arizona are solid candidates for quarterback and wide receiver picks.  The backups for these teams can also become very valuable in the later rounds because if the starter goes down, the offensive philosophy will not change and their backup will become the primary beneficiary of a strong system.  Some teams invest their offseason money into high priced free agents or talented rookies to improve pass protection or run blocking.  By examining where teams spend their free agent money, one can infer as to which aspect of their offensive philosophy they might be looking to emphasize over the coming NFL season.  This can also give fantasy owners a clue and to where NFL players should be ranked when approaching the draft.  Be observant, make inferences, use your instinct ... it's a sure path to fantasy stardom or the fantasy cellar - beware!
