My article on RBs outlined the basic dilemma found at the QB position.  If you don’t remember, here’s the important part:       What’s this mean for you?  Well, it means that it is kind of stupid to draft a QB in the first round in a regular-scoring league.  However, there are several benefits to such a move.   Something that can make an enormous difference is not being required to spend a roster spot on a backup QB.  If you draft Peyton Manning, that means (at least for the last five years) that you will be playing him every week.  No matter... 

Coming now is a basic outline of the role of each position for your team.  I’ll also post relevant articles from my draft guide section here.  This isn’t customized for this year, but is just a general outline for how to think about particular positions.  Make sure you check out our other articles as well for specific information for this year’s draft.   You can have Peyton Manning or Tom Brady.  You can have Randy Moss or Andre Johnson.  You can have Antonio Gates or Tony Gonzalez.  And that won’t make a difference if you don’t have a decent... 

Every league is different.  And not just in the “well, there are lots of different players playing in different ways!” kind of way.  There are lots of seemingly minor tweaks to the ways that players are scored that can completely rock the way a league plays out, and the quality of any given team.  There are a whole lot of stats, outside the standard yards-and-touchdown mix that can make or break you, and plenty of shifts in the yards-and-touchdowns mix that can be even more important.  Here are a few common changes made between leagues.  Note: If... 

Your typical “Public” or “Default” league setting is nearly identical across fantasy football.  That is, the “standard” scoring system in fantasy football is accepted across all sites.  So what is this scoring system?    For your quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends:   25 passing yards per point. 4 points per passing TD. 10 rushing/receiving yards per point. 6 points per rushing/receiving yard. -1 point for an interception. -2 points for a fumble recovered by the other team. 2 points for catching/throwing/running for... 

So, what’s the first thing you need to know to having a winning season in fantasy football?  Knowing what fantasy football is would probably be the choice.  Fantasy football is a game, largely played on the internet where people create “fantasy” (that is, fake) teams out of various players from numerous teams.  Each week, fantasy teams are matched up against each other, and compete for the most “fantasy” (that is, really fake) points.    So how do you get points?  Well, that depends on the scoring setup, but almost every league scores skill... 

So, you want to get in on some fantasy football?  Good, it’s quite fun.  Problem for you, though, is that you’ll likely be matched up against your friends or family or co-workers and you don’t want to look like a tool in front of them.  That’s why you’re here.  To read the definitive guide to fantasy football on the greatest fantasy football website in the world, SCFantasyfootball.com.  This guide will translate the lingo and, hopefully, help lower the learning curve for all those interested in getting into fantasy football.  We’ve got everything...
