The ESPN Fantasy editorial team held its annual fantasy football summit on the first day of May, welcoming in a new month and a new season all at once. Perhaps you're wondering what we do in a summit? Well, it's not really scientific. A bunch of us -- Matthew Berry, Christopher Harris, Stephania Bell, me and many others -- sit in a large room looking at preliminary football rankings from a projector, then we argue, debate, cajole and whine to get our respective ways, whether it is for the top running back -- yes, there was gentle persuading even with Arian Foster -- or the No. 15 quarterback or No. 40 wide receiver.


To see Eric's observations coming out of this year's fantasy football summit, you must be an ESPN Insider.
