Welcome to 2023! Coming Up on FFM the next few weeks/months…
Week 17 is about in the books…the end of most Fantasy seasons, officially. We still got one more week of regular season football to work with, and then the regular season is REALLY over…but our work here at FFM isn’t over. We just shift into the ever increasingly busy postseason and offseason mode.
Here’s a look ahead of what to expect the next few weeks and months on FFM…
-- Week 18 will be a fairly normal work week to finish out the Fantasy season/NFL regular season. We have folks with Week 18 title games on the line, others just gonna be playing some DFS or betting and/on games, and many Dynasty GMs still have a week of roster stashing to work with.
We’ll have Game Reports from Week 17, all this week ahead.
Video Q&As as normal this week leading up to Week 18 Sunday…Tuesday night, Sunday morning video shows as usual. Feel free to use those shows for Stash questions as well as waiver, sit-start, handicapping, etc.
Weekly Projections will post as normal, starting Tuesday and running through the week.
After Week 18, THEN we start the 8+ month study session to prepare for Fantasy Football 2023 season!
-- The week after the NFL regular season closes, we’ll be focused on Game Reports from Week 18 since many of them will have several rookies/young players playing to scout.
But we’ll also do some work/reports on Fantasy for the playoffs for those playing in playoff type events…head-to-head, tournaments, DFS, etc. I hope to debut ‘FF projection boards/spreadsheets’ for the NFL playoff weeks.
We’ll study/cover/report out on all the NFL playoff games looking at the Fantasy/Dynasty perspectives from the games the following week after the games play.
All NFL playoffs we’ll have some weekly ideas for team and player performances, handicapping, prop bets, etc., each week…and I’m sure we’ll have our always prosperous Bet The Close Super Bowl Podcast special on the props to play that pay!
-- As soon as Week 18 closes it’s also on to a focus on the NFL Draft/the 2023 Dynasty Rookie Draft scouting studies. I’ll begin my 2023 Senior Bowl scouting preview work and filing positional reports leading up to the Senior Bowl week, where we will cover each day’s events and the game itself.
Ross Jacobs is going to be working the East-West Shrine Bowl scouting again, where he found Jelani Woods and Kyle Philips among others.
After the Senior Bowl, attention turns to the NFL Combine previews and event covering…then the NFL free agency studies and reactions start to take center stage and the FF/Dynasty ramifications from that…then the actual NFL Draft itself, and our live coverage, and the Dynasty Rookie Draft rankings arrive. While tons of individual prospect scouting reports are posting all offseason.
Football never sleeps. There is no real ‘offseason’ covering and studying football. A lot of the good things that happened in Fantasy 2022 came about from the prospect study process from January to August. It’s a process…not a magic formula, and we’ll study and cover the 2023 offseason and report on it all the way to the start of the 2023 Fantasy season.
-- All January into February, we’ll also be working on the Dynasty offseason valuations/rankings top 600 offense and top 500 IDPs…and the valuations/rankings will debut (approx.) the week after the Super Bowl.
-- Rewind studies (going through the tape of player’s 2022 work and dissecting/projecting them for the future) are planned to start in February and run all offseason. I have a goal to do the most Rewind player studies this offseason than I’ve ever done in an offseason before.
This past offseason Rewind scouting helped uncover the NFL/FF problems with Courtland Sutton, Diontae Johnson, Kyler Murray, and Zach Wilson among other things.
-- All that (above) and various newsworthy reports/takes, and our annual NFL Awards (MVP, ROY, COY, DPOY) tournaments, and the world famous, industry leading Xavier Cromartie Mock NFL Drafts and DEVY scouting/reporting/ranking, and all kinds of other football studies/trouble we can get into…it’s all ahead for the offseason.
– All that and exciting new website news/upgrades to be announced any day now. Never a dull moment for Fantasy Football, Dynasty, handicapping. We so appreciate your support of all our scouting studies and reporting!!!
