RSPWP2: Recent Analysis(0)

March 18, 2013

As we get into the meaty portion of the draft phase for the Second Annual Rookie Scouting Portfolio Writers Project, the pick analysis will be less frequent. We’re giving writers more slack to deliver pick analysis after each selection. If they want to write blurbs, they will. If not, we’ll catch them at the end… Read More ›

RSPWP2: Waldman’s Early Thoughts

I love this draft. It has defensive-minded Jene Bramel taking gunslinger Jay Cutler, yours truly ditching offense for two monolithic bad boys with wheels on the defensive line, and Football Outsiders’ founder Aaron Schatz talking intangibles. Intangibles! I have to admit, this project is a lot more fun that I even anticipated. The writers we have… Read More ›

The RSP Writers Project: You Vote

With the regular season coming to an end and it sounds like a good time to take a look back at the RSP Writers Project. If you’re not familiar with the project, I had the pleasure of hosting a group of football writers, former NFL players, and former NFL scouts whose job was to build… Read More ›

Matt Waldman’s Second RSP Writers Squad

This was actually my first squad, but admittedly I was a little uncomfortable going with so many first and second-year players as starters in my offense. As the summer played out, I see that perhaps my first inclination has as much or more promise as the team I published last month. The only changes I… Read More ›

RSP Writers Q&A: Jene Bramel, Footballguys.com

Bramel RSP Q&A You gotta love reading the work of a writer who understands how to complement simplicity with complexity and present it in an easy to understand manner. I think Jene Bramel does this as well as anyone in the football hemisphere today. Whether its injuries, X’s and O’s, or fantasy football strategy, Bramel… Read More ›

The Footballguys writer is one of the most well-regarded fantasy analysts for injuries and individual defensive players. The author of the injury blog Second Opinion also contributes to the RSP once in a while. He was also a… Read More ›
