2012 Fantasy Football News: Fantasy Football Year In Review
Charles Dickens A Tale Of Two Cities begins with the famous line, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness.” I find these words more fitting than ever at the end of another fantasy football season. Some of us won the championship, some of us lost the Toilet Bowl and most of us finished somewhere in between. Whether you drafted JaMaal Charles or Cam Newton the 2011 season was full of surprises. Let’s take a look at some of the more prevalent storylines we encountered this season and my sarcastic take on the year that was in fantasy football.

Finally, I'll hit on injuries highlighting which players you need to know about for Week 17 (face it, everyone is pretty much injured by Week 17).

As we head into the last week of the 2011 NFL regular season when most fantasy football leagues have been completed, we can now look back in retrospect at what went right or wrong during the season. For the most part, superstar players who are projected to perform well do in fact match those expectations. However, not all of them have done so. Whether it is because of injury, age, declining skills, emerging competition, holdouts, or any other external factors, some players just simply did not justify their draft position or purported value.

2011 Fantasy Football News: Top Ten Players Of 2011
For many fantasy football leagues, this week represents the championship game.

That being said, this week’s Top Ten list will be the ten best fantasy players of the season. As a disclaimer, this list is representative through 15 weeks of the season.

Week 15 will go down in history of the week that made and broke so many fantasy football hearts.

Tight ends, as a position, are doing some rather remarkable things this season. A handful of them are on historic paces that will leave them with some of the best numbers in the history of the game, while two other supposed fantasy stars have failed to remotely match the hype that accompanied them prior to the start of the season. Speaking of numbers, one of my specialties, I'll lay out some numbers that might challenge your perceptions about who is having a great season and who is struggling.
