GFB Fantasy Focus: TEs 1-25

by Rich Resch on August 27th, 2010 at 10:00 am

Other GFB Fantasy Focus Rankings:

QBs 1-12QBs 13-24

RBs 1-12RBs 13-24RBs 25-48

WRs 1-12WRs 13-24, WRs 25-48

These rankings are for standard, 12 team, non PPR leagues.

1. Antonio Gates- The loss of Vincent Jackson means that Gates is Rivers’ clear cut #1 target.

2. Dallas Clark- 100 receptions, 1100 yards and 10 TD.  While he may not replicate those numbers, he’s inarguably a stud.  The one downside is that, with a healthy Anthony Gonzalez and with full seasons from Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon, Peyton Manning has a slew of options to choose from.  Still, more of a 1B to Gates’ 1A.

3. Vernon Davis- The physical freak finally turned his tools into production.  Crabtree will steal some red zone targets, but Davis should put up big numbers.

4. JerMichael Finley- A wide receiver playing tight end, and an Aaron Rodgers favorite.  Huge upside.

GFB Fantasy Focus: WRs 25-48

Other GFB Fantasy Focus Rankings:

QBs 1-12QBs 13-24RBs 1-12RBs 13-24RBs 25-48WRs 1-12, WRs 13-24

25. Hines Ward- Absence of Big Ben and rough fantasy playoff schedule knocks Ward down a couple pegs.

26. Wes Welker- He was healthy enough to play in game one of the pre-season.  Early indications are that he’ll again be featured in the Pats’ offense, but his health will be a cause for concern all year.

27. Santana Moss- His skills have eroded somewhat, but he could be a poor man’s DeSean Jackson, and the addition of Donovan McNabb could rejuvenate his career.

28. Braylon Edwards- The Jets are a run-first team, but if Mark Sanchez develops, Edwards can become a WR2.

GFB Fantasy Focus: WRs 13-24

Other GFB Fantasy Focus Rankings:

QBs 1-12QBs 13-24RBs 1-12RBs 13-24RBs 25-48, WRs 1-12

13. Steve Smith (Car)- Matt Moore is an unknown, but Smith has proven it doesn’t really matter who is throwing to him.

14. Anquan Boldin- Boldin finally gets to be “the man” in Baltimore’s offense, a welcome change for himself and for Ravens fans.  There are obvious upsides and downsides to leaving Fitzgerald and the Cardinals, but I think his value remains about the same.

15. Hakeem Nicks- If he stays healthy, Nicks will end the year as the Giants #1 fantasy receiver.  I’m willing to gamble.

16. Chad Ochocinco- He’s still talented, and I can’t see him not improving over last year’s numbers, especially with TO in the fold.

GFB Fantasy Focus: WRs 1-12

Other GFB Fantasy Focus Rankings:

QBs 1-12QBs 13-24RBs 1-12RBs 13-24, RBs 25-48

These rankings are for standard, 12 team non-PPR leagues.

1. Andre Johnson- The no doubt #1 WR based on ridiculous skills and great situation.

2. Randy Moss- Even in a down season, he was the #2 fantasy WR.  He could very well be the #1 receiver if Tom Brady bounces all the way back.

3. Calvin Johnson- Matthew Stafford will have to take a full step forward to justify this ranking, but Calvin Johnson is as talented as anyone on this list.

GFB Fantasy Focus: RBs 25-48

by Rich Resch on August 18th, 2010 at 10:00 am

Previous Fantasy Football Rankings:

QBs 1-12QBs 13-24RBs 1-12, RBs 13-24

These rankings are for standard, 12 team non-PPR leagues.

25. Michael Bush- A power back in an upgraded offense.  He’ll need to fend off Darren McFadden, but he averaged almost 5 yards a carry last year, and he’ll get goal line carries.

26. Arian Foster- The Texans backfield is wide open, and he had a couple of nice games to end the season.  I’m not sold, but he’s worth a flier, especially with the injury to Ben Tate.

27. Thomas Jones- Hard to imagine this back to back 1,300 yard back (that’s a lot of “backs”) won’t get at least a portion of the carries.

28. Ahmad Bradshaw- If the rumors of Bradshaw sharing equal carries with Jacobs are true, Bradshaw becomes the more valuable back….

GFB Fantasy Focus: RBs 13-24

by Rich Resch on August 13th, 2010 at 10:00 am

QBs 1-12QBs 13-24, RBs 1-12

These rankings are for standard, 12 team non-PPR leagues.

13. Cedric Benson- He finally broke out last year after being given a third(?) chance by the Bengals.  It’s a good situation, as they have shifted towards a rushing mentality.  Unfortunately, he contributes nothing in the passing game]

14. Ryan Grant- He’s the man in Green Bay, although he’s not an explosive runner.  His fantasy numbers over the past two years have been great, despite low yards per carry.

15. Ryan Matthews- Others have him ranked higher, but I’d be weary of taking a rookie RB in the second round.  He couldn’t have fallen into a better situation, though.

16. Beanie Wells- Big talent, but Matt Leinart’s troubles could make for some tough games.  We still don’t know exactly how many carries he’ll get, but he could explode.

Fantasy Football: RBs 1-12

by Rich Resch on August 12th, 2010 at 10:00 am

Anyone who has ever played fantasy football or watched “The League” knows that running backs are the most important position in the game.  Unfortunately, aside from a small handful, most RBs this year have big question marks.  That’s why it is more important than ever to get these picks right.

QBs 1-12, QBs 13-24

These rankings are for standard, 12-team non-PPR leagues.

1. Chris Johnson- Something tells me he won’t run for 2,000 yards again.  Having said that, I wouldn’t bet against 1,600 and 10 touchdowns.  Nor would I complain.

2. Adrian Peterson- More of a 1B than a 2.  You can’t go wrong with either of these guys.  He obviously takes a hit if Favre retires.

3. Ray Rice- The development of Flacco and the addition of Boldin should open things up for the former Rutgers standout.

4. Maurice Jones-Drew- An eyelash behind Rice.  Hard to find a flaw in his game, but it should be noted that he saw an increase of 115 carries last season.
