Another fun angle to look at fantasy football is to apply financial concepts to it. For example, I have Tony Romo and Dez Bryant on my team, who are the QB and WR for the Cowboys and if one puts up a bunch of points, the other will as well, which means I take on a lot of variance for an expected high return. Or I could take both Jimmy Graham and Pierre Thomas, who play TE and RB for the Saints; since the Saints have a fixed (well, sorta) amount of offensive opportunities, you're giving up a certain amount of possible return in order to have a guarantee that, between those two players, you'll have a decent number of points -- even though every rep Graham gets is a potential rep taken away from Thomas and vice-versa. (The way this differs from traditional financial planning is that success is unary; you win or you don't. So you get a great balance of trying to only take on as much risk as you need to win.)
