Ten Things You Probably Didn't Know About The 2008 Fantasy Football Season

1) Aaron Rodgers is the third highest scoring player in the entire NFL.

2) Lee Evans is averaging 27 yards per reception.

3) Of the top 25 scoring wide receivers, only seven were generally drafted in the first four rounds (Fitty, Wayne, Andre Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Boldin, TO, and Housh)...

4) While six of the top 25 wide receivers were typically no better than the 200th player drafted (DeSean Jackson, Lance Moore, Steve Breaston, Devery Henderson, Eddie Royal, and Muhsin Muhammad).

5) The point spread between the NFL's 2nd highest scoring tight end (Chris Cooley) and the 15th scoring tight end is roughly only 15 points (Marcedes Lewis).

6) Amongst the ten best scoring quarterbacks in the league, zero were first round draft picks, only Romo and Brees were generally drafted in the top three rounds, and six had an ADP of over 100 (Rodgers, Rivers, Warner, Orton, Campbell, and Favre).

7) Not a single Patriot ranks in the top 75 overall fantasy players thus far. They also have the fourth worst fantasy defense in the league.

8) Houston has by far the worst fantasy defense with just about 20 points total (using fairly standard scoring).

9) Adam Vinatieri is the 9th worst kicker in the league yet he is owned in roughly 65% of leagues.

10) Jason Elam is by far the best kicker in the league, yet is owned in only about 34% of leagues.
