I’m a “vibe guy,” but when it comes to covering the NFL for fantasy, I’m not just coming up with arbitrary vibes; I pull from my 40+ years of experience, the data used to analyze the players and teams, and all the preseason news and activities. Add in some insider tips and good instincts, and I believe my vibes can give you a predictive advantage handicapping the upcoming season.
Of course, there are many ebbs and flows to a season, and there are even seasons within a season, so a good or bad summer vibe won’t guarantee success or failure throughout the fall.
However, without access to the results, if we know what we’re looking at in the preseason and what’s important, the preseason vibes can provide an excellent preview of things to come.
Here’s what I have for all 32 teams. I will update this article as events unfold through Labor Day weekend, so please check back often.
