Here is how I feel after week 3: All work and no play makes Phil a dull boy. All work and no play makes Phil a dull boy. All work and no play makes Phil a dull boy. All work and no play makes Phil a dull boy. All work and no play makes Phil […]
The Late Round Quarterback staff put together their quarterback rankings for the 2013 season. The following rankings are based on standard quarterback scoring in redraft leagues, where each touchdown is worth four points and one point is rewarded for every 25 passing yards. Player Rank JJ Chad Phil Ladd Keith Travis Austan Drew Brees 1 […]
Everyone wanted Aaron Rodgers after his incredible 2011 season. In fact, the Aaron Rodgers demand was so high that he compiled the single greatest ADP of any quarterback in the history of fantasy football. I didn’t get it. I mean, I understood the concept of value and the notion that obtaining one of those high-scoring, […]
Consistency is defined as “The achievement of a level of performance that does not vary greatly in quality over time.” Inconsistency, quite obviously, means the opposite. NFL players who never touch the ball throughout the season could be considered, given the definition, consistent. They’re just consistently bad, playing at a low level no matter the […]
The Player Profile series breaks down the 2012 performances of key players at each position in order to project where they should be drafted in 2013. Dig in, read up, and look ahead. Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers The 2012 top-5 fantasy draft choice failed to live up to expectations after a record-breaking 2011 […]

It’s why so many liked Matt Ryan coming into 2012, or unproven running backs Doug Martin and Trent Richardson. And it’s the reason fake footballers selected new Chiefs’ running back Peyton Hillis as early as Round 5. (Eek.) The first game of […]
I find it interesting when folks on Twitter and the ones who frequent this website are surprised that I point out every mistake in drafting a quarterback early. “Ok, ok,” says Twitter follower Thomas. “We get it. Draft your quarterbacks late.” The problem, Thomas, is that “we” is only a selection of people. There are […]
When you draft your fantasy team in mid-August, there’s little reason for you to stare down and analyze the Week 13 schedule. After all, who would’ve thought the Dolphins would be decent, the Rams would be competitive against the 49ers and Charlie Batch would be starting at quarterback for the Steelers? No, you’re not drafting […]
Some people think the end of the world is next month. For Steeler fans, including myself, the end of the world already happened. We’re just now in some purgatory-like place. Turning the ball over eight times to the Cleveland Browns is nothing short of embarrassing. Sure, the Browns defense has been playing much better over […]
