One of the most underrated assets to your fantasy football draft prep is Ted Schuster's offensive line piece in the 2016 Fantasy Alarm Draft Guide. Seriously. Most of you will flock to the player rankings, the bold predictions and then scan through the articles looking for sleepers, rookies and busts and while those pieces will be of tremendous help, Schuster's article in which he breaks down each and every team's offensive line could be your savior. OK, Jeff Mans' coaching system breakdown piece is pretty hot too, but I just read through the offensive line piece again and I literally just sat back, took a few mental notes and decided that all of you out there need to pay much closer attention to the offensive line. The later rounds of your drafts will go so much better and the bench you build will easily surpass that of any of your opponents.
So with that, I'm going to play fantasy crack dealer right now and give you a little taste. I'll give you the offensive line rankings here, but you're going to have to go to Ted's article to find the answers as to why. And trust me....you're going to want to ask why. And when you do get your answer to the million dollar question, I fully expect to see an email from you thanking Ted for his work and me for helping nudge you in the right direction.
