Today our crosshairs are focused squarely on Matthew Berry or the supposedly “Talented Mr Roto”. Youve probably seen this guy littered across espn, sportscenter, and the internet. He is espn’s “Chief Fantasy Expert” and heads up their fantasy empire. This article goes to show how no one is a fantasy expert and how you should never listen to these people becasue they are just really lucky dudes who got an awesome job where you get paid to guess and talk football. What is below is Mr. Berry’s article “guys I love, Guys i hate” from last season. Of course he came out with his picks for this year and streamed them all over tv screens everywhere as the “expert picks” but his picks from last year were easily forgotten.
Now let us examine this article and let his own work prove my point. (its kind of lengthy so Look for the Most ludacris calls in bold with**** and my comments in parens (). Some of my Favorites - Bears Adrian Peterson on love list, Vikings one on hate list, Randy Moss on hate list, Marcell Shipp and JJ arrington on love list with Edge on hate list. Read and enjoy

Matthew Berry
2007 Players I Love
Matt Leinart, QB, ARI: It’s not just rugged good looks or the first name that Mr. Leinart and I have in common. We both have to run really fast and try to get rid of whatever we’re holding when large men are chasing us. For me, it’s usually my wallet, girlfriend or dignity. But luckily for Matt and his owners, it’s a football and he’s fairly accurate. Especially with targets like Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald.
(Warner finished with more points and he may now lose the job)
Anquan Boldin, WR, ARI: Here are three stats: 11.1; 13.7; 14.5. Those are Boldin’s average-per-reception numbers for the last three years. He’ll go lower than Fitz but have the better year.
(nothing special last year)
****J.J. Arrington and Marcel Shipp, RBs, ARI: You know who has loyalty to Edgerrin James? Dennis Green. You know who is no longer there? Same answer. Whoever wins the backup gig to James in training camp is very much worth a flyer in deep leagues.
(heres a couple of great calls if your league gets points for left bench towel delivery)
Jerious Norwood, RB, ATL: Allow me to be the first to use the “Dunn is done” pun. Thank you. Thank you very much. Tip your waitresses. Please drive safely.
(they bring in michael turner to replace him…sure says a lot about how he did )
Willis McGahee, RB, BAL: First-round production you can get in the second round.
(nothing special he did as expected)
Mark Clayton, WR, BAL: The third date and the third year of a wide receiver’s career. Both lead to a lot of hope and promise, and when they pan out, smiles are all around. Expect lots of scoring here. For Clayton. And sure, your dating. Preseason is the time for optimism.
(he didnt do squat)
The Ravens D: One of only two defenses worth drafting before the last round.
(they finished towards bottom of rankings)
Marshawn Lynch, RB, BUF: A-Train is A-Backup.
(a decent call)
