"My gut is telling me no. But my gut is also very hungry." -Gob Bluth
If you're like me, you experience great consternation with your lineup decisions, week in, week out. Fantasy players are now bombarded with information, it is a huge industry and there are countless proclaimed experts offering advice. First and foremost, never pay for information. There are some services out there that charge a subscription fee and some just a one-time fee, but there is far to much credible, free information out there. It's great that we have so much information at our fingertips, but it can often become noise that only serves to convolute and compound our decisions. I'm not saying that the pundits aren't well intentioned, but they don't have crystal balls. They may study the tape, know the trends and the statistical likelihood, but when it is all said and done, it's football. I can't tell you how many times I over thought my decisions and then let an expert eventually sway my decision . . . and then live to regret it. There is something to be said for that initial feeling about a player and what direction it's pointing you in. Take the experts for what they are, guys and gals paid to keep guys and gals like you and me continuously visiting the sites and tuning in. Let them inform your decision, but don't sideline what your gut is telling you, even if you are just feeling gassy.
