Fantasy Football and Math - the Dynamic Duo

So, you had your first draft and now you are waiting for your Fantasy League to go into full swing. People sweat over their first picks, but it is really the subsequent selections week after week that decide whether your team is a winner or a dud.

For years now, the same methods of picking Fantasy teams have held their course. It's human nature to trust the traditional lists that have been put out by the "Powers that Be" in football. Is there a non-traditional way of picking Fantasy players?

What if out there somewhere loomed a non-traditional, mathematical process that allowed you to see what your potential Fantasy teams faced not only on a weekly basis but on a four-week basis or the remainder of the season basis?

You think that is impossible, but mathematics is an amazing thing. Many sports fans forget about the mathematics involved in football. Oh sure, they can spout statistics after the fact, but they have no idea where those stats come from. Instead, they push the math aside and go with their gut. Now, if you are psychic, go with the gut. But for the rest of us who may lack the sixth sense, we need to let go of the hunches method and find a method that will help us figure out our Fantasy team best.

The idea of Math and Fantasy Football may make a lot of us cringe. Most of us have lived in the hope that what we learned in high school Algebra and Calculus would never have an effect on our lives - ever! But guess what? We do need that math. That math has gone into everything we use from the coffeemaker that gets us going in the morning to the plasma TV that settles us in for the night. If you are so willing to concede the need for the math that goes into these products, why not concede the need for the math that goes into something as entertaining as Fantasy Football?
So, the idea is to embrace mathematics and learn what it can do for you. Appreciate the value of mathematics. It's a beautiful thing. www.possessionpoints.com.
