4 Types of Fantasy Sports Leagues Today, you can participate in a wide variety of fantasy sports contests around the globe. And until now, many people still wants to join a fantasy league. If you are new to fantasy sports, one of the first things you will want to understand is what type of fantasy sport league you are joining. Below is a list of the most common types of fantasy sport leagues. Single-Season Fantasy League - Also referred to as a "single-year" league. These leagues follow a single-year format only and are the most common type league in fantasy sports today. None of the teams, rosters or information is carried over to the following season. New drafts are held every year prior to the upcoming season and totally new rosters are drafted at that time. This is the traditional league for most fantasy sports owners who like to start fresh every year with an entirely new group of players. Dynasty Fantasy League - Also referred to as a "total-keeper" league. At the end o

Fantasy Baseball Sleepers This 2011 Year Here are my top three fantasy baseball this 2011. Hope this will help you choose too. Desmond Jennings, OF, Tampa Bay Rays With Carl Crawford likely to take the fast train to a team that can pay him more money, it seems like the path will be open for Desmond Jennings to take a starting spot for the Rays. He doesn’t translate to a ton of power, but Jennings can run like the wind and should hit for a pretty good average in the majors as well. Jennings has stolen 35 bases in the last three seasons he was healthy in the minors and he could hit 15-20 homers in the majors. Think of Jennings as a poor man’s Crawford, and while he likely won’t realize that potential in 2011, he should do enough in all categories to be a fourth outfielder or a good utility spot if you don’t draft speed early. Jordan Zimmermann, SP, Washington Nationals Before there was Lord Strasburg of Washington, Jordan Zimmermann was the big time pitching prospect in the nation’

Fantasy Baseball Trends
One of the keys to success in fantasy
baseball is being able to spot the trends and
then acting upon them.
Obviously, it makes
a lot of sense to watch out for players who
are starting to heat up so that they may
possibly be added to your line up through
either a trade or the waiver wire.

Fantasy Baseball Trends One of the keys to success in fantasy baseball is being able to spot the trends and then acting upon them. Obviously, it makes a lot of sense to watch out for players who are starting to heat up so that they may possibly be added to your line up through either a trade or the waiver wire. This is even more important when dealing with players that have gotten off to extremely slow starts so far in 2011. One thing which all the following players have in common is that they all got off to a slow start to the 2011 season but are just now starting to really heat up: Carlos Pena (CHC) - After enduring an injured thumb earlier in the season which all but sapped his ability to hit for power, Pena has been on quite a tear lately. After hitting 0 HR in his first 25 games, Pena has come on strong hitting 8 HR in his last 28 GP. This hasn t halted recent trade rumours however. Regardless of where he plays, Pena should deliver on the power (although NOT on the batting a

This Week at Fantasy Baseball World The first big domino has fallen in this week s countdown to the MLB trade deadline. The Cardinals, White Sox and Blue Jays have reportedly completed a three-team deal, with OF Colby Rasmus, 3B Mark Teahen and relievers going to Toronto; SP Edwin Jackson, OF Corey Patterson and a collection of relievers heading to St. Louis; and pitchers Jason Frasor and Zach Stewart on their way to Chicago. Let s push aside the main real baseball ramiification - that the Cardinals gave up a very talented 24-year-old outfielder for, well, not much - and focus on the fantasy sports fallout. Blue Jays: Rasmus will almost certainly start in center field, and I m betting on a big "Eff You, Tony La Russa!" second half from him; AL-only owners should empty their FAAB budgets for Rasmus. Rajai Davis is the logical choice to lose playing time, and when Brett Lawrie gets promoted, Edwin Encarnacion is a near-lock to do the same. The final outcome should be a Rasmus-Eric

The time has come to figure out what players have found a new home, what teams are shaping up to be quality contenders and who the hotshot rookies are. Just recently, I learned from my brother that the Mets are on the verge of signing Tim Redding. As he said when he broke the news to me, "Start printing the playoff tickets. " We had a good laugh, but then again, even a bad pitcher on a good team. . . To keep from embarrassing yourself on fantasy draft day, now would be a good time to find out who retired in the off-season and who is already ruled out for the year. Don t get caught calling Greg Maddux, Salomon Torres, Todd Jones or Chad Cordero or your gaff will be remembered and brought up by your unsympathetic league mates for years and years to come. If you are a complete fantasy baseball lunatic (or nerd) like I am and you belong to several leagues, it is also time to ponder basic league specific strategy ideas. Between straight drafts, auctions, 4x4 scoring systems, 5x5 scori

Typically at this point of the summer, fantasy football fanatics have been all too busy breaking down the significance of free-agent moves while attempting to forecast how rookies will fit into their new roles as depth chart hierarchy becomes clearer. The preeminent football platform of the United States is on hold at this time, wreaking havoc on how players are projected for fantasy purposes. Virtual prognosticators are pumping out information to help guide you to a championship, or 10, but the NFL lockout has kept much of this at bay. A flood of information will come down the pipes as soon as free agency begins, and disseminating all of that data may be overwhelming. Expect a lot of conjecture and even guesswork as players find new homes, settling into their respective roles had been long underway at this point in prior years, so it could prove difficult keeping up with all of the expected changes. Successfully analyzing teams with new offensive systems and/or coaches will be pa

It s been a couple of months now since the fantasy hockey season ended. Plenty of time to gloat in your championships or lick your wounds. Now that the dust has settled, it s a good opportunity to look back on this past season and draw out some lessons from the past season. If you ve been playing fantasy hockey for many years, few of these should come as shocking revelations; however, even the 20 year experts need to be reminded that fantasy seasons rarely pan out the way you script them at the draft table. Lesson 1 -- Location Matters As in marketing, location clearly matters to hockey players. This has become obvious on two fronts. So it makes sense to keep an eye out for a few guys finding a new home in hopes of better fantasy sports fortunes: 1. Strong fantasy performers who change locations often suffer a setback, even when moving to a "better situation". Consider a few examples from last year: • Ilya Kovalchuk s move to New Jersey saw him drop to a lousy 60 points last se

The Football season of 2011 emerge great information that will surely help us on our fantasy team. Here are the top fantasy sports defenses for football 2011. 1. Green Bay - This is a solid defensive unit across the board. With Charles Woodson, Clay Matthews, Tramon Williams, B. J. Raji, A. J. Hawk, Nick Collins to name but a few it s possible to go on all day about the merits of having this defense. Plus it s hard not to want to root for Clay Matthews blowing up quarterbacks every Sunday. 2. San Diego - The Chargers were a solid unit last year and there is no reason to say otherwise this season. Not to mention that the potent Chargers offense should be much improved with key players coming back from injuries enabling the defense to stay off the field and fresh for a lot more time than last year. 3. Pittsburgh - You can t go wrong with the Steelers defense. Every year they are in the top 5 for fantasy defenses and this year will be no different. They play very well togeth

As your fantasy sports draft day approaches, there are certain criteria needed in order to complete a successful draft. Here are 10 draft day tips I believe will help you have that successful draft. Read on and be informed. 1. Have a good idea of your league mate’s strategies. Communicating with your competitors during the course of the offseason whether fantasy or just baseball related will help give you insight on player preferences and possible strategies. 2. Have a plan in place. Whether you decide on position scarcity, team balance, highest rated player, or punting a category decide on that strategy and stick to it. Creating a cheat sheet or downloading available ones will help in your decision making, and in formulating what strategy will be best for your skills. 3. Make sure you have knowledge of offseason moves that have taken place. A hitter going from friendly hitters park to a pitchers park could affect his value moving forward, and viseversa. 4.
