The first thing you'll notice is the top player. Instead of Andre Johnson, who seems to be the consensus number 1 WR, I opted for a different Johnson: Calvin Johnson. The first thing I'll admit is that Andre Johnson is the much safer choice. I would be very surprised if Andre Johnson doesn't finish the year as a top 5 WR, however Calvin Johnson has top 5 overall upside. Last year Matthew Stafford played 3 games but in the only game he finished, Calvin Johnson had 28 points. Now, Matthew Stafford staying healthy is a big IF but if he does don't be surprised if Calvin Johnson finishes the year a top 5 player.
3 other guys I'm high on are Mario Manningham, Chad Ochocinco and Mike Sims-Walker. I have seen Manningham going in the 6th or 7th round. I think that is way to low. I think he is a top 15 WR with top 10 upside. The giants lost Steve Smith and Kevin Boss, which means there are a lot more passes to go around. In Monday Night's game Manningham was targeted 7 times in the first half and while preseason doesn't mean a lot it shows that Eli was looking for him often. Manningham is not only a high upside guy but also a guy with great value. Chad Ochocinco also is great value. I was in a draft the other night and he went in the 8th round. Tom Brady's number 1 WR going in the 8th round. That's what I call Value. I think he is a player that could be this years Brandon Lloyd and finish the year a top 10 WR. The last WR I'm high on is Mike Sims-Walker. This is more of a gut feeling than anything else but as a late flyer, I think he could be a steal. Last year, no one saw Brandon Lloyd coming. He had been a journeyman for years and had never been a productive WR. And then Boom! He finishes as a top WR. A big reason for his success was Josh McDaniel's offensive system and I think MSW could have similar success since McDaniel is now in St. Louis.
Some WRs I am down on are Reggie Wayne, Brandon Lloyd, Sidney Rice and Steve Smith of Carolina. As more and more information comes out about Peyton Manning's injury the more I get worried about all the Colts. I know that they signed Kerry Collins but I am still staying away from all the colts, especially their aging WR Reggie Wayne. A WR at 32 with a hurt QB being drafted in the top 10, no thank you.
Just as I was high on Mike Sims-Walker for being in a Josh McDaniel Offense, its one of the reasons I'm down on Lloyd. Another main reason I'm down on Lloyd is that I think the Broncos want Tebow to play and when that time comes, I don't want any part of the Broncos passing game. Two Words describe why Im down on this next guy: Tarvaris Jackson. That's why I'm down on Sidney Rice do I need to say any more. Lastly, the final player I'm down on is Steve Smith of Carolina. This again because of his QB, when your starting QB is Cam Newton or Jimmy Clausen I think it's going to be a tough year for any of his WRs. That's it for the WRs.
Lastly, Tonight is my draft fir my big league and I am struggling finding the perfect name so in the comment section give me your favorite fantasy football name. Please I need help.
Next time I will finish my preseason preview breaking down the TEs, DEFs and Kickers.

I think Austin Collie should be a little higher. He could be a big steal and a force late in the season if your squad is making a playoff push. By the time the fantasy playoffs roll around Manning should be in good form.
The Jruth shall be told.
Collie
No issue with this. Again Im just nervous about all the Colts but he could definitely be a steal if you get him late enough.

I'm more nervous
about his multiple concussions last year. Collie could be a 1000 yard receiver playing in the Colts offense, but only if he remains healthy. If he gets knocked around a few times again, Pierre Garcon would be a great pick up.

I strongly disagree on Rice, and I think Maclin should be higher, although health concerns make his placement understandable. If he’s healthy he’s just below Nicks, and he’s only slightly lower because of Shady, Jackson, and possibly Smith taking away some touches from him. I’m also higher on Roy Williams than you are and much lower on Burress, Collie, and especially Wallace. But overall I think this is good; it’s hard to do these things well.

Im curious why are you high on Rice.
Maclin is lower than Nicks fantasy wise more so than talent wise. Maclin wont score nearly as much as Nick because of all the weapons we have.

I’m talking fantasy-wise on Maclin as well. I expect Maclin to put up something around 1300 yds and 11 TDs, and I’d be shocked if Nicks put up more than 1500 yds and 13 TDs; not a huge difference IMO.
And Rice has three legitimate knocks: He’s a Seahawk, he’s coming off a missed season due to injury, and Tarvaris Jackson is throwing him the ball. But if the injury is healed (should be) one concern goes away. I also strongly believe that Jackson and Rice will have a good connection. Rice is a Fitzgerald-type receiver: not super fast but good leaping ability and glue hands. He’s a middle-class man’s Fitzgerald for sure, but he’s similar in style. He’s gonna be able to go up and get the high throws in traffic and he’ll be a go to guy in the endzone and on third downs due to his size and good hands, and he was the one guy that Jackson seemed really comfortable throwing to in Minny. I’m a Jackson fan, and maybe that’s swaying it too, but I see Rice putting up something in the 1100 yds, 9 TD area or so, possibly with more TDs if Mike Williams regresses.

I think Vincent Jackson and Mike Wallace should be flipped
Vincent absolutely lit it up when he had played last year, he looked uncoverable.
Hakeen Nicks is not in Tier 1

I will be at the season opener NYG @ WAS with a few friends. If you are going and feel like looking up a fellow BBVer and having some fun, let me know.
He definetely is
The man is probably a top 5 receiver this year.

He is so overrated this year. Solid guy, not a first tear receiver.

Good list but I have two rebuttals
Davone Bess is not a game changer by any means but he consistently puts up big numbers with little catches (or targets). He could bump up to that Tier 4 group.
Santana Moss is a beast but has always played with a spotty QB…he finished the year with 93 catches. He should be closer to the tier 3 group but his QB play this year (Beck and Gross, man!) is gonna hinder his numbers.

Too much wrong to list
I guess it’s just your opinion against my opinion, but wow, there can’t be stats involved in this at all, you even have an unproven rookie in there, and Dez haven’t even had a full year. Most importantly….. #10 should be in the top 5 in my opinion.
This is a fantasy post, not based on talent.
Desean doesn’t have the fantasy numbers of White, Wallace, or Nicks.

He may have them this yr
White has a new memeber to the WR group. Wallace i am not sold on as of yet, and they added Cotchery (sp) from the Jets… Nicks put up monster numbers but… He will go up against us twice which shouldnt be his best games (wishful thinking).. And Jackson has put on some muscle in the offseason and will also be used more on over the middle routes or more intermediate routes that Maclin frequents.. Now with the added weapons (Smith, Coopers bigger role, Celek back to form) this may hinder his end totals.. But a guy that only had 47 catches and over 1000 yards he will be able to take advantage of his chances

We won't know as of yet...
The addition to the Falcons may actually free up Roddy White from the consistent double teams he gets. The Falcons also confirmed they are moving towards a more pass heavy attack. Wallace has been every bit as good as Maclin and Nicks, but nobody considers him…I have no idea why…60 rec, 1257 yds, 21.0 YPC, and 10 TDs….that’s 13 more catches than Desean, 200 yards more, only 1.5 YPC less, and 4 more TDs.
Nicks will get more with Steve Smith and Kevin Boss gone. Its only him and Manningham now. He’ll also (hopefully) play more than 16 games.
Desean is a beast and a half, but he gets his numbers in spurts. He’s no doubt one of the most talented WRs, but he is more a “threat” that opens things up for everyone else than actual damage.

Ya.. i have to admit i was being a "Homer" but hey its Fantasy
t Free up Roddy white all they want.. Still only one ball, if anything it could bring teams to cover White and make the Rook make big plays… See desean in Jeremy Maclin’s Rookie season.. They will have more options nonetheless but Gonzales is dwindling also.. He will have a great season but i dont see an amazing season… yet
I cant hate on Nicks.. Ive liked him since he was terrorizing the ACC.. But as with White he could see more coverages rolled to him with less weapons because none of the other wide-out really put fear in opposing D’s… Manningham was killing us that second game of last yr, but hes not who we will game plan for like Nicks…
Finally if we are talking Catches then there is almost no point in me arguing on deseans behalf since he can take a 5 yard route to the house EVERYTIME. he doesnt need 100 catches a yr.. Ppl take this as a knock i feel though, the
Desean is a beast and a half, but he gets his numbers in spurts. He’s no doubt one of the most talented WRs, but he is more a "threat" that opens things up for everyone else than actual damage.That ppl hold against him.. Dont get side tracked by the other weapons DESEAN JACKSON IS OUR MAIN TARGET… he can get 6 at any time.. But since tea,s defend him the hardest we use that against them and then go to the other weapons..BUT Desean is the person we want the ball in his hands the most.. He can be used as the Biggest decoy or the biggest playmaker in the league depends on the defense.. Some games hes had 30 or 40 yrds and requires three men on him and others… desean goes for 210 yards of only FOUR CATCHES… No other big playmaker is doing that
haha like I said, it remains to be seen how these changes to the team squads
affect these particular WRs. You do make viable points though.

Hey while i have your attention
Was i being over the top in that thread about you guys losing TT or was that just an ultra sensitive time over there?… The were making it hard to feel bad.. any way its all shits and giggles too me until someone goes beyond football but i have to admit i like to go back and fourth. I mean hell this is the BEST DIVISON OF THE BEST SPORT ON EARTH… why cant we go back and fourth??? I have as much Hate in Me for the other three Teams as i Do Respect… Well maybe not the Redskins.. Aside from Doug Williams..
I dunno mate, I wasn't around that thread much so I dunno what you said
Probably not the best idea to laugh when a fanbase has a situation like that, I guess. I have no problem with gloating over a win or loss…I had no problem with y’all coming over after the nightmare at the meadowlands, but injuries, you gotta treat a little differently because they are accidents, you know?

I think White will get less double coverage
because of the addition of Julio Jones and the (in my opinion) emergence of Harry Douglas this year. Michael Jenkins wasn’t exactly much of a distraction, but I think Jones will be enough at least demand more attention, and Douglas is pretty fast out of the slot.
OOoooohh snortskies ooooooohh!!
exactly
I love Desean but he is inconsistent and relies on the big play which isnt ideal for fantasy.

Brandon Lloyd
A lot of people are down on him and I like it. There is no way Tebow sees the field unless things go very wrong, and even then Lloyd did good with him last year. Orton trust him, and they have some serious chemistry. He way underrated right now, and I will happily grab him in the 4th round. Even if he got 500 less yards he’s still a 1000 yard receiver. I watched the game this year and three talent is there. Also I think Ocho will be a sleeper and Bowe will regress.

Santonio's not at least 2nd tier?
I see Holmes having a huge year w/ a more seasoned Sanchez and Plax on the other side. V. Jackson’s clearly a number 1 w/ P. Rivers in that offense.
I'd rather have
Vincent Jackson this season over Nicks, Wallace or Jennings. I think VJ is gonna go bananas this year, and Jennings’ value is lowered because a healthy Finley should have a big year. Nicks lost Steve Smith, and should get doubled a lot more this year. Wallace is probably going to have a great year, but I like Rivers and the pass-happy Chargers offense over the Steelers run first O. I also think you’re crazy if you think Burress is going to have a year similar to more than half the guys you have in Tier 4.
OOoooohh snortskies ooooooohh!!
Nicks lost Steve Smith, and should get doubled a lot more this year.
Maybe, but I have a feelin the giants will be seeing a lot 8 in the box looks. so maybe not.
I may not be the most noble of men but in a town of lepers, im the one with the most fingers.
Giant LB'z SUCK!!? Mark Herzlich, Greg Jones,Spencer Paysinger...Maybe not..
Let's not forget..
Nicks is really going to only have, AT MOST, 14 relevant fantasy games this year.
In the other two, he has to play against the best secondary in the league.
That’s gotta knock him down at least a little bit…

he put up big numbers in 13 games last year
so that’s actually an extra game for him to pad his stats!

How about Jerome Simpson of the Bengals?
I think he’s the next Arian Foster. In two starts last year, he put up 18 catches for 247 yards and three TD’s. I expect him to catch 105 passes for 1450 yards and 13 TD’s. Call me crazy, but if you listen to me, you may just win your fantasy league…..

Not a bad list
I was a bit more selective with my Tier 1’s as I think it’s 1) Roddy White, 2) Andre Johnson. After that I don’t see anybody that will match their numbers. They both have the ability for 100 catches, 1500 yards and 15 TD’s. After that I see 11 TD players with 1200 yds and 80 to 85 catches. I think Holmes might be underrated. To me he is a tier 2 guy as his stats while missing 4 games were very good, and after a year in the system, Burress taking away double coverage, I see him primed for a breakout. Other then that i can pretty much get on board. Nice selections.

Oh no doubt
I have calvin at 3 overall, the top of Tier 2. The problem is Stafford has not shown the ability to stay healthy yet and even though Shaun hill did a good job as his replacement last year, the talent level obviously drops between the two. I think with a healthy Stafford, C. Johnson could easily be the number 1 WR, but up to this point he hasn’t, so it is hard to just throw him in there.

there are too many good WRs and not enough good RBs. There are too many time shares in the league.

Everything is overrated
It always depends on how you want to build your team. A RB (09-Charles, 10-Blount) breaks out every year, a WR (09-Austin, 10-Lloyd) breaks out every year, a QB (09-Kyle Orton, 10-Josh Freeman) breaks out every year, so if you’re playing the “random guy in this position breaks out” card, you can play it for every spot on the field.

I have Roddy White and Mike Wallace as my starting receivers with Miles Austin playing the flex position. Guys in my league are dumbasses.

Thanks. I take fantasy pretty seriously. I’m a little bit concerned with my RBs just because Blount’s only had one good year, so I don’t know what to expect from him. I told myself that I wasn’t going to draft him because I was so unsure of him, but he fell so far that I just had to take him. And I’m afraid Greene is once again going to lose some goal line carries to LT. I love my WRs though.
I am high on Greene this year. I drafted him in 12 teamer as my number 2 RB. I think you should be fine. I am fairly sure Blount or Greene finishes a top 10 back

As long as one of them performs well then that’s ok with me because I plan on playing a WR in the flex position the whole year anyway.
With Austin i dont see why not
The other thing you could try is to package Austin and one of the your 2 backs for a top player (McCoy, Menndenhall maybe Charles)

I like your QBs. You didn’t have to waste a high round pick, yet Orton is a proven fantasy starter and Freeman has incredible upside.
I dont like drafting Calvin because of Stafford and his damn shoulder
"I love my Ducks (wait 'til you see my O)"
There is risk doing it but I think his upside makes it worth it

Calvin still had a great year (77/1120/12) though Hill and Stanton took over. I don’t think Stafford is much more accurate than either, and one can argue Hill’s experience gives him better pocket awareness, so the difference is mostly arm strength

QB – Matt Schaub, Eli Manning
WR – Andre Johnson, Vincent Jackson, Percy Harvin, Marques Colston, Steve Smith(car), Julio Jones,
RB – Ray Rice, MJD, Frank Gore(flex), Javid Best
TE – Kellen Winslow, Brandon Pettigrew
DEF – Saints
K – Rackers
Pretty sick team but it’s only an 8 man league. I waited forever to get a QB and went wild on RBs after I got Andre at 7. Im trying my hardest to get Felix Jones tho some asshole took him and Rivers right before I was going to.
Solid Team but for an 8 team league I would try and package Gore and Harvin/Colston for a better RB (McCoy/Mendenhall)

Team rating?
12 team PPR, 6th pick, round in parentheses (to give an idea of where guys are going in planning your draft strategy)
QB: J. Freeman (6)
RB: L. McCoy (1), F.Jones (43), R. Grant (5), J. Stewart (7), T. Hightower (13)
WR: R. White (29), Wallace (3), M. Floyd (8), L. Evans (10), L. Moore (12), D. Driver (14)
TE: G. Olsen (11)
K: A. Henery (15)
D/ST: Jets (9)

Not bad
don’t know if I would’ve gone Lesean McCoy at 6th overall, but its arguable considering its PPR. Also, I think your WRs are solid, and I really like the pick of Olsen….he could lead the team in catches.
I can’t argue Josh Freeman, though personally, I’m down on him this year so I wouldnt’ve picked him up.
Overall, not too shabby.

Thanks
In the afterglow of drafting, I mostly agree about McCoy; it was b/w him and Rice and I ’ve felt all summer that this would be a breakout year. Freeman was definitely a risk (harder sched), but Mike Williams is for real, so at least he has one great/near elite target.
Big screw job was Wallace; Jennings was on the board until right before my pick, causing me to overvalue WR in my mind; I could have had Rivers in that spot and used the Freeman pick on that tier of WR (Harvin, Manningham, Julio were the next WRs picked after Freeman)

7
QB: Love Freeman I would have drafted a backup for him (he is somewhat of a risk)
RB: Two PPR studs in McCoy and Jones. Grant Im down on after the reports of camp arent very good. I hate Stewart and love Hightower.
WR: White is a PPR monster (I assume you mean 2 not 29 haha) Wallace I love but in a PPR format it hurts him. Floyd and Evans are the same
TE: Not an Olsen fan at all. Dont trust Newton throwing to him.
Overall, solid for a 12 teamer. I would try and improve your flex though.

if Rice was on the board
then you should have taken him in a PPR league he is top 3 player.

#7 pick felt the same
I really think the upgrades to the OL, and the explosiveness of the pass offense, will make McCoy break out. Rice is safer because he has already established himself as a monster player, true; I fully blame this on homerism/Eagles news saturation. If I was more aware of the moves Baltimore made (besides losing Gaither), might have gone for Rice. Also see Ricky Williams as more of a TD vulture than Ronnie Brown.
Something I would caution to all us BGN followers; we know A TON about what the Eagles have been doing and, to varying degrees of investment, considerably less about the other teams.

Honestly i think Olsen will have a good year because rookie QBs tend to throw their way often
"I love my Ducks (wait 'til you see my O)"
Agreed
Plus, there’s no significant WR threat to his numbers; he’ll split with S. Smith, if not exceed him. if CamClau attempts 400 passes (JC attmepted 299 in 13 games), Olsen is getting at least a quarter of those targets, and he was increasing in usage every year until last yr with Martz
If you like what I have to say here, visit my blog for more (http://dehype.posterous.com)
Also, I must be the only person...
who is high on Lee Evans this year. Makes me think there’s injury concerns I don’t know about. He was able to produce in Buffalor with JP Losman, Trent Edwards, and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Flacco is at least an upgrade, and he is the primary deep threat, which they have been looking for. And their top dependable franchise guys, Heap and Mason, are gone. I think he is a huge value in the 10th round (Could have gone later, but I needed to move on Olsen, who I think will have a monster year with Cam/Clausen at the helm)

Someone wanna rate my team? 10 team, non-ppr
QB: Peyton Manning, Sam Bradford, Matthew Stafford
RB: Arian Foster, Felix Jones, Blount, Ricky Williams, Javon Ringer
WR: Roddy White, Dwayne Bowe, Mike Williams (TB), Jacoby Ford, Mike Thomas
TE: Owen Daniels
D/ST: Baltimore
Kicker: Josh Brown
Right now I’m in the process of tradin away Bradford, so my primary backup’ll probably Stafford.
by Kanade_Tachibana on Aug 25, 2011 12:33 PM EDT reply actions
I would keep the kids
Personally, I think Manning is done. He’s not even throwing yet, how do they expect him to take a season, or even half season, worth of hits with a frayed nerve in his neck? I definitely don’t think he makes it through his contract; he might even be done by next season. Someone probably will give you a better package for Manning, and you can upgrade your WR2 (Bowe’s TDs were [most likely] an anomaly).
I’m a big believer in Foster, F. Jones, and MDub TB.
If you like what I have to say here, visit my blog for more (http://dehype.posterous.com)
QB- High risk with Manning for most people, but I think he is still a solid pick up and top 5 QB at the end of the year. If Stafford stays healthy you might be able to deal him later in the year for a high price depending on Mannings performance. RB’s are decent. i am not completely sold on Foster even though I got him ranked 4. Felix is talented but can he stay healthy? Blount is another one year guy but if he improves, nice. Love Roddy White, I think he will be the number 1 fantasy receiver this year. Dwayne Bowe is alright, Mike Williams is a nice pick up, but I absolutely love Mike Thomas. he came on at the end of the year and doesn’t have anybody in his way. I like Owen Daniels, nice tight end pick up. Baltimore always has a top 10 defense, kickers are kickers. I’d say on potential you have a 8/10, on actuality because of question marks(for me personally anyway) 7/10.

That’s less than 200 yds per game, and you’re hoping Gabbert doesn’t take the reins at some point.
I remember spotting Thomas for the JAX game vs Houston, where his 51-yd Hail Mary catch redeemed a pedestrian fantasy day against a bottom-rated secondary (preview: http://dehype.posterous.com/waiver-diving-week-10; review: http://dehype.posterous.com/waiver-diving-week-10-recap)
If you like what I have to say here, visit my blog for more (http://dehype.posterous.com)
ehh
matter of opinions I guess. he had 101 targets last year and caught 66 percent of them he did this while being the primary WR since Sims-Walker battled injuries all year. I now see him as the number 1 there and even if Gabbert takes the reigns he is going to target his number 1 and the te like every rookie before him. Thomas probably won’t go until late in most drafts ( his average draft psotion is 91 ) and for a number 1 WR, used as your number 3 receiver or bench player, that is fantastic value.

Rate my Team 12 Team Non-PPR
QB: Freeman, Orton
RB: Foster, Greene, BJGE, Hightower, Mcgahee
WR; Calvin, Jennings, Harvin, Amendola, Evans, Little
TE: Pettigrew
DST: Pats
K: Hartley
Ag-gres-sive: 1. Ready or likely to attack or confront; characterized by or resulting from aggression; 2. Pursuing one's aims and interests forcefully, sometimes unduly so; 3. THE EAGLES FRONT OFFICE
QB- Love your options. They’re both later round options that are still capable fantasy starters, and Freeman has great upside.
RB-I’m not that high on Foster just because he’s been a one year wonder. While I don’t think he will perform nearly as well as last year, I think he’s still worthy of a first round pick. I like Greene as long as he’s not losing many carries to LT. The second half of the season last year he really broke out, so I expect him to continue that trend and be a suitable back. Not a fan of BJGE or Hightower, but McGahee’s a safe option as he’s always going to put up TD numbers
WR- Great tandem with CJ and Jennings. Harvin provides good depth and I could see Amendola having a good year with Bradford becoming more comfortable with the NFL. Evans is another high upside option that should produce decent numbers.
TE- Pettigrew is a good pick, although I would’ve taken Jimmy Graham a round earlier if he was there.
I really wanted Graham he went a couple picks before me

Agreed
a lot of flexibility with options at QB and TE, I’ve made my Olsen love known, but great pick on Graham; hopefully your flex, if any, is RB/WR/TE
Britt and Knox have tons of value from the position you probably drafted them in, and reports are that Bush looks good in Miami. Very solid all around.

Here is one of mine

QB- Kyle Orton, Shaun Hill
RB- Ray Rice,DeMarco Murray, Stevan Ridley
WR- DeSean Jackson, Kenny Britt, Santana Moss, James Jones, David Gettis, Leonard Hankerson, Golden Tate
TE- Jermichael Finley, Greg Olsen
Def- NO
I have been trying to move Finley for a second RB but these guys are playing hard ball. Hopefully Ridley steals some carries, or Felix gets hurt.

I think it this type of league having an elite QB is crucial. I would try and move Desean and Finley maybe to get a top guy. I think in a league this big having Britt and Moss is solid at WR.

I thought that too
But there is one team that has Fitz, Steve Johnson, and Miles Austin as their WR’s. I already tried to move DeSean once but it was a no go. i’m keep looking for a trade but also scouring the waiver wires for an injury. it’s gonna be a tough league but I am looking forward to it.

Who remembers Brandon Gibson?
He was second on the Rams in receptions, but that’s probably due to Danario’s injury. Who do you pick for the “breakout” McDaniels project: MSW, Alexander, Gibson? Alexander has the upside everyone raves about; MSW is a walking inactive status; Gibson has some work ethic issues but a lot of developable tools. Could Donnie Avery come back from the grave?
If you like what I have to say here, visit my blog for more (http://dehype.posterous.com)
Gibsons actually slated as 1 or 2 this year
so far anyway. Still, I like his upside and I have other solid options at WR where as nothing at RB (until this trade goes through and Stevan Ridley becomes the number 1 back in NE while DeSean has a career year) still its a risk, but hopefully it pays off.
