I'm here to make you money in fantasy football

[ttwarrior1]

only problem with that is that they have too many running backs and there is no clear cut starter.

Who wants to draft 3 redskin running backs in a draft. Let someone else have that headache. They added
tim hightower now also

[NYSportsGuy210]

Your write up depends on what type of scoring and what the starting positions are in your fantasy league roster. Plus you didn't even mention if you are playing in a PPR league or not. That changes things quite a bit also.

Also you realize Micheal Vick is pretty much like drafting a top 5 QB PLUS a mid tier RB all with the same selection?

[NYSportsGuy210]

tt (or anyone who's got constructive advice for that matter), how would rate this 10-team mock draft? I went in with the idea of selecting 2 RB and 2 WR with first 4 picks. Can you spot weaknesses?

Round 1 - Pick 10: Darren McFadden
Round 2 - Pick 1: Calvin Johnson
Round 3 - Pick 10: LeGarrette Blount
Round 4 - Pick 1: DeSean Jackson
Round 5 - Pick 10: Brandon Lloyd
Round 6 - Pick 1: Ryan Matthews
Round 7 - Pick 10: Matt Schaub
Round 8 - Pick 1: Daniel Thomas
Round 9 - Pick 10: Matt Ryan
Round 10 - Pick 1: Julio Jones
Round 11 - Pick 10: Mike Thomas
Round 12 - Pick 1: Kellen Winslow
Round 13 - Pick 10: Rashad Jennings
Round 14 - Pick 1: NY Giants D/ST
Round 15 - Pick 10: Rob Bironas

Your RB's and TE's aren't too strong. McFadden will probably miss 4-5 weeks at least like he usually does. I'd try trading Schuab or Matt Ryan for a decent every day durable RB.

Some sleepers to take in the last 5 rounds

1. Tight end: Jared Cooke of tennessee: Hasselback loves throwing to tight ends. He is a very talented player, that just hasn't had a good qb throwing to him. Excellent bye week tight end replacement. He will get looks and played well the last 3 games

2. wr jerome simpson: Will start in cincy and someone has to catch the football. check out his stats the last few games last year. Very talented and a rookie like Green will need time

3. Rb: ryan williams. Do you really think beanie wells will have a good year? Possible, but i doubt it. Hightower is now a redskin and ryan williams can catch the football and should have a very productive rookie year and probaly end up starting

4. If you draft jones drew, please draft rashad jennings. Very talented speedy, athletic, great hands and Maurice Jones drew will get more rest this season

5. Wr Torrey Smith; Baltimore: they released derek mason and could cut tj housh as well and someone has to catch those balls . Todd heap also released. They drafted him where they did for a reason. Boldin is not a deep threat.

6. Defense: I believe phily will be the top d. Not just because of there defense but because of there return game . New orleans also creates alot of turnovers and has a great return game. Sproles and robert meacham could get 3 or 4 return touchdowns which would put them as a top 5 defense

Otherwise defense is a crap shoot. Don't waste a stupid pick on the jets or pitt when you can draft a starting tight end, rb or wr

7. My prediction for top kicker is the new kicker in phily. Alex Henery. Always wait till the last 2 rounds for your kicker. Hell if you don't want to draft a kicker at all, go for it and try a 2 for 1 trade before the 1st game and pickup one before the 1st game


8. Wr Andre Roberts: the clear #2 wr in arizona. Reports are kolb and roberts are really doing well in practice. Worth considering for your last pick

9. Jacquizz Rodgers: already been named the 3rd down back in atlanta and clear starter if turner goes down.

10. Demarco Murray: rb dallas. Felix jones is starter, enough said

11.Tight ends: its so deep its ridiculous. Don't draft gates in round 3 or j finley in round 4. Get that starting rb or wr . Guys like dustin keller, heath miller, Gresham, olsen won't even get drafted. You can get shiancoe, gronkowski, pettigrew very very late. If jimmy graham is there in round 7 , grab him

12. A very late qb to grab is mcnabb. or kyle orton: Look at the qb you want, go look at his bye week and see which qb between orton and mcnabb has the better bye week

13. Want a good fun last pick. Take terell owens. Someone will take him soon. Likely waiting for a team to get an injury. Could even join phily or new england.

[ttwarrior1]

yes new year depends on the setting but some get ridiculous on the ppr thing. In a ppr amendola gets drafted in round 8, in a non ppr he goes round 14. Just dumb

Vick won't be running as much this season and qb is deep, very deep. Deepest ever.

Nobody will give him a good rb for any qb. Why would someone trade him a running back when they have lets say josh freeman and kolb at qb.

His Rb are just fine

[ttwarrior1]

WR Steve Smith signed a free agent deal with the Philadelphia Eagles today, but likely won't be able to play until at least Week 6. The Eagles mentality here was simply this... we'd rather him sit on our bench rather than play against us in our division.

- Saints WR Marques Colston is being "shut down" for a while as he recovers from off-season surgery. He's missed five straight days of camp as he rehabs, and chances of him playing in their pre-season opener are slim, though he hasn't officially been ruled out.

- Buffalo Bills WR Roscoe Parrish left practice Wednesday with a left leg injury, and he has been ruled out for the team's first preseason game Saturday against the Chicago Bears.

- Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo has been on fire in the last five days of camp, completing passes all over the field. Romo said he has been throwing the ball as well as he ever has in his career, and considering he has some of the most talented pass-catchers in the league, this could be a great fantasy year for Romo, if he can stay healthy.

- Anyone in the market for a former Pro Bowl QB? Apparently Daunte Culpepper is looking to make a comeback to the NFL, but the question is... will there be a team interested in bringing him in for a tryout?

[onlooker]

I just don't buy the deep TE this year. I really don't want the headache of some TE that will give me 1 catch and 12 yards one week, and explode the next, then low production the next 2. Trying to juggle two of them is a pain in the ass. Getting Gates, Finley, Clark or Witten (Even Davis) you will get a more consistent performance from week to week. Them hit or miss TE will drive you nuts.

We will see, still a long time to decide on this.

snelling is the starter if turner goes down

[ttwarrior1]

snelling is a bum, rodgers as a rookie named the 3rd down back for a reason, he is better.

As far as tight ends, j finley and gates can be a headache also. Take gates or finley in your next mock nd see if your happy with your other wr and rb's, I doubt u will be

I do like v davis but he doesn't really go early

News and tips will change as the pre season goes along. Daniel thomas can get 2 touchdowns in the next preseason game and shoot up 3 rounds in mock drafts from a stupid pre season game

I'm hoping for some smoke and mirrors in preseason to help raise players stock in drafts, so people will draft players higher then they should.

[ttwarrior1]

yep , this coming week is a perfect time to do a real draft after people see some guys play this weekend.

2. Torrey Smith

After throwing to largely senior citizen types a season ago, Joe Flacco finally has someone with young -- and speedy -- wheels to play pitch and catch with. Last season at Maryland, Smith hauled in 67 catches for 1055 yards and 12 touchdowns and the burner will provide the Ravens' attack with a home run threat. While his 2011 numbers figure to be hit or miss (as often is the case with rookies), Smith is in line to be the Ravens' third receiver. That is assuming Derrick Mason (or another experienced option) is kept to start opposite Anquan Boldin. Certainly a dynasty league option, Smith makes for a late round flyer in redraft leagues, an intriguing one at that.

"Torrey Smith will move into a clear reserve role in Baltimore following the team's acquisition of Lee Evans.

Evans will immediately join the starting lineup, crushing Smith's status as a fantasy sleeper. Now a situational deep threat, the second-round rookie's projected receptions will tumble after a nightmarish preseason opener in which Smith ran the wrong routes and just didn't know the plays. We'd probably consider fourth-round pick Tandon Doss a better bet for snaps and targets at this point"

[ttwarrior1]

evans is a bum also but yes this hurts torrey smith. Evans didnt do anything the last couple years. Not sure i would draft evans though

[Ninersnut]

Your gonna make a killing in your free yahoo leagues.

[dj_destroyer]

What are the top three defenses and special teams this year?

[ttwarrior1]

1 eagles
2 pit
3 greenbay

but i wouldn't dare take any of a starting rb, wr, te or even backup qb

Some good value late with arizona, new orleans because of the return game, or just free agency and pickup the best d on matchups

[vyomguy]

julio jones, jacoby ford, percy harvin have lot of value compared to their ADP

are you joking

you mean 12 and 13th pick? I would definitly grab one of the elite wrs calvin johnson, roddy white, andre johnson. rbs are personal preference, pick your favorite

[sanchez]

Hey ttwarrior,

do you know of any good paid fantasy leagues?

I like fantasyheadquarters.com

easy to use and my favorite feature is that every week you play 2 matchups.
1 vs an opponent like any other league
1 vs the average score of all teams for that specific week

i think its great because nothing is worse than being the second highest scoring team for the week and just getting a loss, its more fair.

[onlooker]

Laugh it up fur ball. I have made some decent money playing this funny stuff.

[sanchez]

just dont see how u got s jackson in round 4 in any good league, he will go round 2 in about all mine

LIke the team for 10 team league

10 and 12 team strategy can be different. All teams in a ten team league are generally good, but not the 12 teamer.

also dont compare any season to last season. There won't be any j charles in round 4 this year or an arian foster

lol that is one of the dumbest statements i have ever heard

there are stud rbs that go after round 4 EVERY YEAR

2010: charles, foster, bradshaw, mcfadden, hillis, etc

2009: ray rice, johnathan stewart, cedric benson, ricky williams, mendenhall

2008: deangelo williams, steve slaton, forte, chris johnson

do you get the point or do i need to keep going?

[ttwarrior1]

when i said round 4, i meant exactly round 4

Hillis was a last round pick or free agent

None of those guys you mentioned went in round 4 in any of my leagues and this is 2011 ,

[ttwarrior1]

if calvin johnson is there at 12 , take him,

[GunShard]

Is there a website where you can make money from fantasy football?

[GunShard]

"Leshoure has a torn Achilles' and is out for the season, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Press."

[paco]

if calvin johnson is there at 12 , take him,

I'd take Roddy White before Calvin for WR

[onlooker]

I'd take Roddy White before Calvin for WR

Will Julio Jones hurt or help Roddy White's numbers? I think it will take away from his catch total.

[ttwarrior1]

roddy white was always getting double teamed. Alot don't know this since atlanta isnt' on tv alot. I think he will have similar numbers. Julio is drafted too early imo.
This is exactly why id rather go rb rb , at least you know what your getting with your later wr's

[paco]

Will Julio Jones hurt or help Roddy White's numbers? I think it will take away from his catch total.

It will help Roddy. Wont be double teamed as much imo.

[sanchez]

when i said round 4, i meant exactly round 4 Hillis was a last round pick or free agent None of those guys you mentioned went in round 4 in any of my leagues and this is 2011 ,

Your claim is that there aren't any stud running backs by the time round 4 roles around, am I correct?

My claim, backed up with evidence from every fantasy season going back as far as you want, is that there are stud running backs available in round 4 and later and 2011 will be no different.
