Fantasy Football Experts Reviewed: Jamey Eisenberg

Following up on yesterday’s post, let’s see how another expert stacks up against ESPN’s Eric Karabell. Today I’ll look at Jamey Eisenberg, a fantasy writer for Sportsline.com.

Week 2 Fantasy Football Expert Review: Jamey Eisenberg, Sportsline.com

Recommended starts:
QB - Favre, Delhomme, Romo, Brees, Green, Hassleback
RB - A. Peterson, R. Johnson, Barber, Henry, McAllister, Jones-Drew, B. Jackson
WR - Walker, Chambers, Galloway, C.Johnson, Berrian, Driver
Recommended sits:

QB - Campbell, Schaub, McNair, Rivers, Bulger
RB - Lynch, A.Green, Dunn, Maroney, T.Jones, T.Bell, L.Johnson
WR - Curry, Coles, V.Jackson, D.Carter, Burress, Horn

Eisenberg went 6 of 11 at QB, 10 of 14 at RB, and 10 of 12 at WR - 26 of 37 overall or a success rate of 70%. A slight edge over Karabell’s 68% from yesterday’s post of fantasy football experts.

I think both experts took some chances with their picks - instead of recommending Peyton Manning as a start. I especially like Eisenberg’s rec’s to sit Maroney, Lynch, T.Jones and LJ - all quality starters - and all of whom performed poorly in week 2.

Here’s the real golden nugget of this exercise. In instances where both Karabell and Eisenberg recommended the same player to either start or sit (Favre, Brees, Barber, Galloway, Chambers, T.Bell, V.Jackson, Horn, McNair, Rivers, D.Carter) they were money - 10 for 11 or 91%.

Moral of the story - Cross reference the fantasy recommendations you read each week before taking action and you should do just fine.
