Sometimes I make a prediction that the experts think is absolutely nuts. Hell, many of you probably think it's nuts. But I make it because after analyzing probabilities (many of which are uncovered in Fantasy Football for Winners), I find diamonds in the rough that other people aren't even looking for. And I find crap in the rough that people mistake for diamonds.
After Week 2 I told you to trade Eddie Royal. After Week 5 I warned the Twitter-verse to trade Philip Rivers. This week I've explained on radio shows and the Internet that the value of Nick Foles and the Chiefs DST are peaking, and that unloading them before the trade deadline will better position fantasy footballers for the playoffs.
Even two weeks ago, I made the seemingly bizarre claim on 610 Sports Radio in Kansas City--when asked which Chief WR would be the best play--that Rod Streater (who?) would score more fantasy points that week than Dwayne Bowe, Donnie Avery, or Dexter McCluster. The host sounded shocked. So were the people I Tweeted the prediction to. So what happened? Streater finished with more fantasy points than Bowe, Avery, and McCluster did combined.
If you started a K.C. WR in Week 9 and lost by 3 or fewer points, you would have won by taking a chance on my "crazy" prediction.
This week, I believe Brian Hartline will be a top 20 fantasy WR. How crazy is that? ESPN believes he'll score 5 fantasy points. I think ESPN too often hedges bets and plays it safe. What you want--what I want--is a website whose predictions propel us to the fantasy title. We don't get there by playing it safe. We take calculated risks with huge upsides.
Good luck this week. And I promise that if you listen to me more than you listen to the other guys, you'll be more likely to win the title.
