About Me

I am a passionate football fan. I have loved the Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals since using them while playing Tecmo Super Bowl on the Nintendo Entertainment System. I remember launching passes with Tom Tupa, making catches with Ricky Proehl, running the ball with Vai Sikahema, and playing defense with Ken Harvey. I have watched Jake Plummer, Josh McCown, Matt Leinart, Kurt Warner, Derek Anderson, Max Hall, John Skelton, Kevin Kolb, and Carson Palmer all launch balls to quality receivers like Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, and David Boston.  

I could list off Cardinals players for quite some time (on both sides of the ball). How does any of this relate to fantasy football? Fantasy football allows you to draft a team that you manage over the course of an NFL season. I am a fan of football to the point where I watch Thursday night games with two sub .500 teams. I don't just watch Cardinal games, I'll watch any NFL game. Not everyone loves the sport to that degree, but fantasy football could give any fan a reason to watch a game.

Fantasy football makes every NFL game more significant. The Texans had a disappointing 2013 season, but I'm sure Andre Johnson owners had to be at least some what pleased with his performance. Lots of people enjoyed watching Josh Gordon amass yardage through the season on the Cleveland Browns. Fantasy football can make you upset when a team chooses to run the ball in for a touchdown instead of passing it to the tight end who happens to be on your fantasy team. Fantasy football gives every game more meaning to the casual and/or hardcore fan.

Fantasy football can lead to happiness, glory, frustration and sadness. It covers the whole spectrum of emotions. It puts you in charge of all decision making regarding your team. It will lead you to pick players on rival teams, take chances on rookies, and lead to wishes for production from old stars.

This site is dedicated to knowledge. I give advice on fantasy football. This advice is not based off personal bias, my favourite teams, my favourite players, or any other elements of bias. The information on this site is based off analysis and math.  I examine statistics and attempt to provide readers with the most educated guesses I can give as to what will happen. My draft guides attempt to give the reader the best information possible. I examine stats and mock drafts to prepare you for your fantasy draft.

I would love to write about football full time, but this site is currently just a labour of love. I put tons of time into my research and writing of draft guides, articles, game predictions, and all other aspects of the website. If you have any questions or comments please leave me a message in the comment box.

Good luck!
Travis
