Derrick Mason Messed Up My Guide to Fantasy Football

So Derrick Mason decided, just days after we published the official guide to Spartans in fantasy football, to unretire and muck up everything.

Not to worry though, we'll just amend the damn thing.

Mason, in my book, is the prototypical fantasy #2 WR - about 1,000 yards and 5-10 TDs each year. Mason was on the low end of that last year (1,036 yds, 5 TDs) with the Baltimore Ravens, as the team suffered statistically early on under rookie QB Joe Flacco before the former Delaware gunslinger found the ropes and steered the Ravens to the playoffs.

Now that Flacco's in his second year, Mason will be even more valuable, despite his advancing age (he's 35). Mark Clayton is the younger, faster WR, but Mason's still going to get his.

He's a solid pick as a #2 or very strong #3 in all leagues.
