Default Who do you use for FF projections?

Just wanted to know what sources people liked using to help them draft players as well as during the season on who to start and sit.

I use my own actually. Sure I'll look at some observations, but I've no problem crunching numbers myself. My #1 critera is consitency. With players who have just started playing well this year, ALWAYS go with your gut instinct, or play the guy with the matchup. Writers can make educated guesses, and so can you. Trusting writers is an awful way to go about it though. For example, the guy who made the sleeper picks, and weekly player picks for PFW last year was god awful.

If you want to rely on anyone, do NOT rely on PFW.

The thing to remember about the guys who write about fantasy football are just like us. They started out playing the game and over time figured out some strategies.

The thing I look for in fantasy analysis is a reasoning behind their advice. Do they just say, "Pick this guy". Or do they say, "Pick this guy because...". The "because" part is the toughest part of the fantasy advice gig.
