Offseason??? There is no stinking offseason. There are lulls in the action sure, but it never really goes away and this is doubly true if you're a fantasy head (Exhibit A: the NFL Fantasy Live Podcast has been going strong to very strong).
Between all the coaching moves, free agency, and the draft, there is an avalanche of new information we have to parse through and translating that into stat projections and fantasy rankings is a BEAR. That being said, this is my favorite part of the year because it's all so new and fresh!
