Hello World

If you are reading this blog, chances are you are getting ready for another exciting year in the NFL, and are preparing yourself for the most exciting event other than the Game itself, the Fantasy Draft. Follow along for what is sure to be another amazing NFL season. As a fantasy standout over the past decade I have taken home 9 first place trophies, only falling once in week sixteen of the 2004 regular season. Have you ever lost in the Championship match-up in week 16? If you have you would know the feeling of hopes being crushed and all your hard work during the season come to an end without a Championship! Like the great American Athlete and Nascar Champion Ricky Bobby once said “if you ain’t first you’re last!” Follow along weekly and ill share the vital information that will elevate your fantasy team to the number 1 spot in your league!


This season I decided to get with the times and share my knowledge of the game and post my wisdom weekly through this blog entitled The Fantasy Nostradamus Report (if you’ve never heard of Nostradamus, look it up!). Weather you participate in your firm’s office league, or a league you’ve been part of one since childhood or both, keep up weekly with The Fantasy Nostradamus report as I will help you manage your fantasy squad to the promised land where you shall enjoy a years worth of bragging rights along with any other prizes that may have been at stake.

With the regular season kickoff less than two weeks away and you cant wait until something other than baseball is featured on “Sports Center’s top ten” your journey to victory begins with The Draft. A day that many of us spend scrambling through Fantasy Magazines and ESPN trying to interpret hundreds of stats, catching up on the latest news and stats trying to put together a list of your potential roster and predict this year’s sleeper (a player who did not perform well in the past and is usually drafted in the late rounds in hope that such a player will have a breakout season statistically). A large key to my success has been my ability to anticipate the success of incoming rookies for example Greg Jennings, Green Bay Packer’s Wide Receiver, and Jacksonville Jaguar running back Maurice Jones Drew. I was able to draft these players in the later rounds of the draft as the other fantasy managers simply did not know enough and were not willing to risk a draft pick on an unproven rookie. This is where I had the edge, having done my research I felt it was not a risk at all but a “steal” (when a player of value goes undrafted in the first few rounds and you can pick him up in the later rounds), and sure enough they proved to become two of the most productive offensive players on their respective rosters. Doing research and locating these “sleepers” is the key to having a successful year in your fantasy league.
