Fantasy Spin: September 28, 2012 – Part I

by

Central Division Fantasy Preview Part I The Central is a tough division to handicap behind the overwhelming favorite, Indiana. Thankfully we as fantasy players don’t have to predict the outcomes of the games. The Central probably has less frontline fantasy talent than any other division this season. So far this week, Kent looked at the Atlantic and Southwest, Jeff raved about the the Northwest and I visited the Pacific. There is plenty to choose from in fantasy terms in the Central, where weak competition helps a lot of

Tyson Chandler not on All-Defensive First Team

by

New York Knicks center Tyson Chandler, who won Defensive Player of the Year honors this season, was bumped to the Second Team. The Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard was the center on the First Team.
