Check out these Sample Team Pages Straight out of our

2011 NFL Magazine! The NFL Magazine was sent off to the press and we expect to start shipping the magazines on August 16th. Naturally the NFL lockout this year delayed the release of the magazine but I do believe it will be the most accurate and in-depth NFL magazine on the market as we have included all the recent free agent moves. You should be able to find my NFL Magazine on the newsstands in late August. However, with this being just the 3rd year I have put the magazine on the newsstands it will only have about half of the distribution that my College Magazine has. If you cannot find my Pro Football Preview anywhere near you, try ordering thru the PhilSteele.com store or call our offices at 1-866-918-7711. The cost is just $12.70 (includes priority shipping) and we will ship it out of our offices within 24 hours unless ordered on the weekend and in that case it will get shipped 1st thing on Monday. Two years ago, I decided to put out a full color NFL Preview Magazine and I could not have been more pleased with the results. I correctly predicted 7 out of 8 division winners which was more than any other preview magazine and I was the only magazine to predict the Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints to win the NFC South! Unlike the College magazine where I write each of the 120 team previews myself, the NFL magazine was written by others including a special fantasy writer from a popular Emmy-Award winning web based show. I did do the forecast for each team using my 5 sets of Power ratings that I have for the NFL (I use 9 different sets for the colleges). This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magazine is 288 pages which is considerably thicker than most NFL magazines out there. Here on the blog today I thought I would put the six pages of the defending Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers. Below you can see how the pages look and click here to download the pdf version from this years magazine and this will show you all the information on each of the 32 teams that we produce. I will not go into great detail as to what is on the pages as you can see for yourself and I think you will agree that it is more information than any other NFL preview. Since this is the third year of the NFL magazine on the newsstands, it will NOT be in all the places that the college magazine is at. Right now I distribute about 7 times that amount of college magazines that I put out the first year (1994, 15 years ago) and it will take a year or two for the NFL magazine to reach the same levels and availability as the colleges. I always prefer that you buy my magazines on the newsstands but you may not see the NFL version nor the FCS Preview (240 pages) on the newsstands. Your best bet for these two valuable magazines which have more information on the NFL than any other magazine and about 20 times the information on the FCS (1AA) than anyone else is to order on the website.

OFFENSIVE OUTLOOK FOR 2011 QUARTERBACKS - After becoming the first player in NFL history with 4,000 yards passing in his first 2 seasons as a starter, Aaron Rodgers finished up his 3rd year as a starter with a Super Bowl win, matching the lone title that his predecessor Brett Favre was able to get during his illustrious career in Green Bay. While barely missing out on a 3rd consecutive 4,000 yard reg ssn (3922), Rodgers’ 264 ypg average is the same mark that Peyton Manning has been able to put together in his 13 years in the league. His 98.4 career passing rating (101.2 LY) and 87-32 career ratio is also worth noting as his decision making continues to improve. Not to mention the fact that his OL kept him upward in better fashion (31 sacks) than in ‘09 (50) when they allowed him to be sacked once per every 10.8 attempts. Rodgers has also finished in the Top 3 among QB’s in rushing (356 yds in ‘10) the L2Y as he moves around very well in the pocket and is not afraid to take shots down field, although coaches will try to have him refrain from that in the future after he suffered 2 concussion in his Super Bowl winning campaign. Matt Flynn showed that he can play in the league last year, when given the opportunity, with a solid performance in his lone start against NE, as he hit 65% of his passes with a 3-1 ratio, nearly pulling out the upset. Former Texas Tech gunslinger Graham Harrell was brought in a year ago as the #3 man here and while he did spend most of the year with the practice squad, he saw some extensive practice time at the end of the year with Rodgers nursing his concussion. Rodgers has come a long way since his rookie year and his career has proven the notion that it’s alright to sit for a few seasons in order to reap the rewards down the line.

RUNNING BACKS - Although the Packers run game has been an afterthought of late, due to the splendid play of Aaron Rodgers, the group had found some consistency heading into 2010. Ryan Grant provided GB its running game almost entirely by himself for 3 straight seasons improving his rushing marks from 956 (‘07), to 1203 (‘08) to 1253 (‘09). With the improvements in the OL, a 4th consecutive year of increased production was expected but thanks to a leg injury suffered in the season opener, Grant was put on the shelf for the remainder of 2010. Brandon Jackson inherited the role as the starter here but entering the year, his career high in carries for a season was just 75, which took place in his rookie year of 2007 (just 82 combined from ‘08-’09). Jackson had been used mainly as a 3rd down back in his short career with the Packers and after doing well (63 rush yds) in the opener after replacing Grant, Jackson surpassed that mark on just 2 occasions the rest of the season. Fan favorite FB John Kuhn, received the bulk of the short-yardage and goaline carries while Dimitri Nance spelled Jackson from time to time. After missing all of TC and not earning a carry until December (injury) rookie James Starks (6th RD DC) led the team in rushing vs SF in week 12 with 73 yards. While quiet for the rest of the regular season, Starks exploded in the playoffs including a 123 yard (5.3) performance in their Wildcard victory over PHI. Starks led all RB’s during the playoffs with 315 yards (3.9), earning the right to battle for the starting spot with Grant in 2011. Jackson (703, 3.7) moves on via free agency while the Packers used a 3rd RD DC in this year’s draft to bring added depth in Alex Green out of Hawaii, who possesses good hands which was a must in his collegiate scheme. Grant will have to come in with urgency if he is to earn back his starting spot but either way, this unit should be improved and hopefully much healthier come the start of the 2011 season.

2011 RB Rushing ('08-'10): 2,911 (4.0) - #23 NFL Player Draft Rating: 6.94 - #28 RECEIVERS - In 2010 the Packers found themselves at a point similar to when IND’s Reggie Wayne took over the #1 duties from Marvin Harrison. Greg Jennings is a dynamic young player, with game breaking ability every single time he touches the ball. With that said, Donald Driver had been the #1 option here for plenty of years but in his 12th NFL season, his abilities as the team’s top receiving option have took a backseat to Jennings. Driver still has ability in this league however as a solid #2 option, which he showed off a year ago finishing 2nd on the team in receptions with 51. Jennings posted his 3rd straight 1,000 yard season with 1,265 yards (16.6) and 12 TD’s ranking him 4th in the NFL (T-#2 in TD rec). Jordy Nelson was the #3 here last year, but after a huge performance in the playoffs when pulled in as many catches as Jennings, he may push Driver for that #2 spot this year. The Packers bring in rookie Randall Cobb out of Kentucky for added depth. Cobb (2nd RD DC) has the ability to stretch the field with his speed, similar to what LY’s 3rd leading receiver James Jones possesses (679 yds, 13.6).The tight end position seems solidified for many years to come as Jermichael Finley and Andrew Quarless have excellent receiving skills and can line up in the slot if the situation arises. Quarless (21 rec, 11.3) saw an abundance of action in the 2H of 2010, after Finley (21 rec, 14.3) was placed on IR with a knee injury. Mackey Winner (NCAA’s top TE) DJ Williams was also added to the team in the 5th round giving the Packers a versatile player who could play TE or H-Back if called upon. GB has done a good job mixing in youth with veteran leadership at this position and while Driver may be entering the final years of a splendid career, the Packers have a good amount of depth to maintain weapons in the future at Rodgers’ disposal.

OFFENSIVE LINE - After an NFL-worst 51 sacks allowed during the 2009 season, GM Ted Thompson addressed the biggest need of the team by selecting Bryan Bulaga in the 1st round. The 23rd overall pick wasn’t expected to become a full-time starter until 2011. However, when the now retired RT Mark Tauscher went on IR (shoulder) after the 4th game, Bulaga was inserted into the spot for the remainder of the season. After enduring some early struggles, his consistency at the position picked up as the Packers made their run into the playoffs. Whether he remains at RT or potentially slides over to the blindside this year will likely depend on how well the 35 year old Chad Clifton holds up in his 12th NFL season. Clifton rebounded from an early injury a season ago to anchor the mixed group of veterans and young players as the group improved their sacks allowed to 38, good for 19th in the league. The team’s overall rushing mark did suffer some as they dropped all the way down to #24 at 100 ypg,(#14, 118 ypg in ‘09) but the blame shouldn’t be allocated to just this unit as injuries ran amuck at RB, creating no consistency throughout a big part of 2010. With Clifton becoming long in the tooth, the Packers used a 2nd straight 1st round pick for the OL by selecting Derek Sherrod with the final pick in round one. Much like the situation that Bulaga faced a year ago, the Packers are hoping to get another year out of Clifton, before turning the full-time duties over to Sherrod for 2012. Scott Wells has done a serviceable job at center and maintained better health a season ago starting all 16, after missing some time in 2009 with a labrum injury. After struggling at certain points as a rookie, RG Josh Sitton has become one of the more stable lineman on the entire team and a trip to the Pro Bowl should be in his immediate future. The one position the group will have to fill for the upcoming season is LG, after Daryn Colledge opted to leave via free agency. Unproven players TJ Lang, Nick McDonald and Marshall Newhouse will contend for the starting spot with Lang the early leader in the clubhouse. GB has done a good job with this unit over the past 2 years and as long as someone is able to step up and man the LG position, their numbers should improve, especially with more continuity at RB.

DEFENSIVE OUTLOOK FOR 2011 DEFENSIVE LINE - The Green Bay run defense improved dramatically in 2009 despite its switch to the 3-4 scheme. The Packers allowed only 83 ypg rushing (#1), compared to 132 ypg (#26) a year earlier, when the DL was decimated with injuries. In GB’s L/13 games they allowed just 73 ypg (3.5), once they were fully comfortable in Dom Capers’ new system. The 5 rushing TD’s allowed was just 1 more than the team record set in 1932, 1933 and again in 1962. The unit wasn’t nearly as impressive in 2010 as they finished #18 in rush defense, allowing 115 ypg (10 games of 100+ rush yds) while their 4.7 ypc was tied for 2nd worst in the entire NFL. Injuries plagued the unit once again as former 2007 1st RD DC Justin Harrell tore his ACL in the opener (played just 16 games in 4 years due to injuries) and 2010 2nd RD DC Mike Neal was lost after 2 with a rotator cuff. As the depth took some injury hits, 2nd year pro BJ Raji came into his own as the starting NT, forcing runners to the outside and thoroughly disrupting opponents pass blocking schemes. Flanking him on the outside was the solid duo of Ryan Pickett and Cullen Jenkins. Pickett has done a serviceable job in his first 10 years in the league. Jenkins, the DL’s best pass rusher, recorded 7 sacks in 11 games (injured), now departs as the Packers were not interested in awarding him with a long-term contract at age 30. Replacing Jenkins in 2011 appears to be the now healthy Neal while Harrell was given his walking papers following the lockout. Adding depth to this unit are Jarius Wynn, Howard Green and CJ Wilson. Raji appears to be a staple in this defense for many years to come but if this group is going to find consistency year in and year out, some of their young contributors will have to step up and make an impact.

LINEBACKERS - Prior to the lockout, the Packers front office went ahead and signed AJ Hawk and Desmond Bishop to contract extensions and with the already extended Clay Matthews, this unit appears to have excellent stability for years to come with the only cap casualty being ILB Nick Barnett. 2009 1st RD DC Matthews is the star of the group, his 10 sacks as a rookie helped him earn a spot on the NFL’s All-Rookie Team. His sophomore season was even more impressive as he tallied 13.5 sacks and finished just a few votes behind PIT’s Troy Polamalu for Def Player of theYear. Now entering his 3rd season as a pro, Matthews is thought as one of the most dangerous pass rushers in the NFL today. Another former 1st RD pick, AJ Hawk has proven to be a solid tackling machine (avg 102 per season over L5Y) but rarely does he make that soughtafter game changing play. Bishop is the only one of the three that wasn’t highly touted coming out of the college ranks (#6DC in ‘07) but after an injury knocked Nick Barnett out the final 12 games of the season last year, Bishop flourished in his new starting role

with a 103 tackles. Brad Jones was the 4th starter in this group opposite Matthews at OLB. However an injury did him in a year ago, he again landed on IR after the 6th week. Erik Walden and UFA Frank Zombo split the starting duties for the remainder of the year which may be exactly what happens in 2011 as Jones has yet to remain healthy and could spend the year as Matthews’ backup. ILB Brady Poppinga was also lost for the year with injury and with the amount of money this unit has under contract, he was released along with Barnett and Brandon Chillar. The group did a nice job in red zone defense a season ago allowing conversions on just 15 of 31 opportunities (48.4%) ranking them #12 in the league. The 31 red zone occurrences that GB faced LY were the fewest allowed in the entire NFL. If you are a Packers fan, you have to like the LB unit the franchise has put together heading into 2011.

DEFENSIVE BACKS - A big reason for the Packers Super Bowl run last year, should be attributed to the splendid play of this unit. For the 2nd time in as many years, the GB secondary finished #5 in the NFL in passing defense allowing 194 ypg (56%) with a 16-24 ratio. In the L2Y the Packers defense has recorded a combined 54 int’s (#1 in NFL), 6 more than #2 PHI. They also held offenses to 77 of 210 (36.7%) on 3rd down conversions, ranking them #12 in the league. Now in his 14th season, Charles Woodson has been given much more freedom to freelance and turned into a menace with his ability to bring heat to the QB on passing downs. Over the past 3 years Woodson has notched 7 sacks from his CB position and LY finished 3rd on the team in tackles (92). Unfortunately he was unable to finish the Super Bowl after suffering a shoulder injury during the 1H. With Woodson being allowed to roam free, the lockdown coverage of Tramon Williams and Sam Shields was key to the success here. Williams finished with career highs in both int (6) and pbu (20) while Shields, a rookie UFA, was likely the biggest surprise of the bunch with his covering ability in the nickel. Nick Collins remains their starting FS after earning a Pro Bowl bid a year ago, while LY’s 3rd RD DC Morgan Burnett will be given every opportunity in TC to regain his starting SS spot that was relegated to Charlie Peprah, after Burnett landed on IR in week 4 with a knee injury. CB’s Pat Lee and Brandon Underwood along with S Jarrett Bush round out the depth at the position. Despite the fact that Woodson is entering his 14th year in the NFL, he remains an integral part of this unit and it wouldn’t be much of a surprise to see this group charge to near the Top 5 of our pass defense rankings this upcoming season. 100

SPECIAL TEAMS - The Packers have ranked 24th or lower in our special teams rankings in 5 of the last 6 seasons coming in 25th in 2010. A big reason for the #25 finish was the return units as they averaged just 20.1 per KR (#26) and 7.9 per PR (#22) while the PR coverage unit was also subpar at 11.0 (1 TD) finishing T-#24. They are hoping that 2nd RD pick Randall Cobb will take over both the KR and PR duties after a standout career at Kentucky. After spending 2009 with both IND and GB (no punt attempts) Tim Masthay took over the full-time punting duties in 2010 posting a 43.9 average (T-#13) and a 37.6 net (#18). Mason Crosby may have the strongest leg in the entire league but accuracy was an issue in ‘09 as he connected on just 27-36 attempts (75%). He hit 22-28 (79%) last season and has not yet reached the 80% plateau in his 4 years here as a member of the Packers. Special teams coach Shawn Slocum has his work cut out for him in 2011 for this unit to climb into the upper half of the rankings with the youth that he has on hand in key parts of this group.

COACHING - Defense in depth was the motto of the Packers in 2010. They won their 1st Super Bowl Title since 1996 despite 16 players on IR with 7 of those being starters. In fact only 4 defensive and 5 offensive players started all 16 regular season games. While the Packers dominated in the postseason they did need some luck. If PHI hadn’t made its big comeback vs the Giants, Green Bay would have been left out of the playoffs. The Packers are still running almost the same Mike Holmgren offense that was installed back in 1992, just an updated version with McCarthy’s twists on it. OC Joe Philbin does the bulk of the game planning during the week but McCarthy handles most of the play calling on Sundays. GB has smartly addressed the OL situation in each of the last 2 drafts and if Rodgers takes 25 or less sacks in 2011, their offense will dominate. Dom Capers has a blank check with the defense and he’s written a pair of top 5 units with it, despite not fully completing the transition out of the 4-3. 2010’s defense had to start 5 replacement LB’s due to injuries but the depleted unit still earned 25 sacks. The only major changes to the 2011 coaching staff are Jerry Fontenot moving from asst OL coach to RB coach and former RB coach Edgar Bennett being moved to WR’s coach. GB’s biggest concerns center around some age with the DB’s and the less than impressive play of the GB spec tms. Shawn Slocum is an experienced coach but GB simply hasn’t drafted well recently to improve this area. The lockout helped level the field for the Packers entering 2011 as they will have the same rest as everyone else due to the lockout. They are a clear favorite to return to the Super Bowl in the NFC. Head Coach - Mike McCarthy, 6th year McCarthy started in the NFL as a QC asst with KC in 1993. He eventually became the NO OC from 2000-’04 as his offenses finished 11th or better 3 times. He ran the SF offense in 2005 with a #32 ranking in total offense. GB and NO are the only teams to rank in the Top 10 in each of the past 5 years. Offensive Coordinator - Joe Philbin, 5th year (9th overall) Philbin spent his first 2 years with GB as an asst OL coach before taking over the OL coach duties in ‘06. He was then promoted to OC for 2007. GB has ranked in the Top 5 for ppg scored in 3 of Philbin’s 4 years but slipped to 10th in 2010. QB Coach - Tom Clements, 6th year Clements led Notre Dame to a championship in 1973. He was a CFL QB from 1975-87. After 3 yrs as ND’s QB coach, he joined NO’s as theirs in ‘97. Since then he’s been a QB coach for KC, PIT and BUF before coming to GB in 2006. GB is 5th in the NFL with twenty-four 300 yd passing efforts since his arrival. RB Coach - Jerry Fontenot, 5th year Fontenot was drafted by CHI in the 3rd RD in 1989 and played 239 combined NFL games at Ctr with CHI, NO and CIN. GB gave him a coaching internship for 2006’s TC and made him an OL asst. He has been an asst OL coach since 2007 being promoted to RB’s coach for 2011. WR Coach - Edgar Bennett, 7th year Bennett was a 4th RD DC as a RB for GB for 5 seasons and became the Packers first 1,000 yd rusher in 17 years in 1995. He

joined GB in ‘01 in a front office role, then was the GB RB coach from 2005-’10. The Packers best finish in rush offense has been 14th in that span and they are also 14th with 25 100 yd rushing efforts. Bennett was named the WR coach for 2011. OL Coach - James Campen, 8th year Campen was an NFL Ctr from 1987-1993 including the Ctr for Favre’s first start in ‘92. He has been the GB OL coach S/’07 after a 3 yr stint as an offensive asst. GB has allowed an avg of 35.5 sks per year or 1 every 15.6 pass att’s in his tenure. Defensive Coordinator - Dom Capers, 3rd year A DB coach by trade, Capers was an NFL HC for 8 yrs and a DC for 8 as well. His units have seven Top 10 finishes in total def and in points allowed as a HC/DC. He has won Coach of the Year (CAR 1996) and Coordinator of the Year (GB 2009) and was the HC for 2 expansion teams (CAR, HOU). DL Coach - Mike Trgovac, 3rd year Trgovac was GB’s DL coach in 1999 but left to be the DL coach at WAS for 2000-’01. He worked as CAR’s DL coach in 2002 before being named the DC (2003-’08). During that time CAR had three Top 10 finishes in total defense and three Top 10 finishes in sacks by. Trgovac rejoined GB in 2009 as the DL coach finishing 1st and 18th in rush defense in his 2 ssns. OLB Coach - Kevin Greene, 3rd year Greene played 15 years as a 3-4 OLB with 5 Pro Bowls and tallied 160 sacks. He joined GB as an OLB coach in 2009 and GB’s LB’s have tallied 51.5 sacks combined in 2009-’10. Asst HC/Inside LB Coach - Winston Moss, 6th year Moss was drafted by TB in the 2nd RD of the 1987 draft and played for 11 years with 146 starts. He worked with McCarthy in NO from 2000-’05 as a LB coach and joined GB in that capacity in 2006. Since then the Packers have been in the top half in ranking for rush defense 4 times. DB Coach - Darren Perry, 3rd year Perry played 9 yrs as a FS after being drafted by PIT in 1992’s 8th round. He has coached safeties for 3 tms over the past 9 yrs with 5 players going to the Pro Bowl over the past 6.

STRATEGIES OF FANTASY FOOTBALL

The following pages offer strategies that will help make 2011 your Super Bowl year. They consist of strategies for preparing for the draft, strategies during the draft and game day strategies. None of these strategies are set in stone. Use them as guides and keep them in mind as you look through the 2011 season.

PREPARING FOR THE DRAFT

1) STUDY, STUDY, STUDY!!! The more you know about the players available in the draft, the easier it will be to field a competitive team. This is especially true in the later stages after the Top 100 players have been selected. If your league has 12 teams & 15 players on each team, you must have a list of at least 263 players. A sound rule is to rank your top 32 quarterbacks, 60 running backs, 75 receivers, 30 tight ends, 30 kickers & 30 defenses. 2) KNOW YOUR SCORING SYSTEM Make sure you take into account the scoring system your Fantasy Football League uses when ranking your players. For example, if you are in a league that uses the Basic Scoring Method, you would want to lower the rankings of those players that are used between the twenties & rack up yards but get taken out of the game in the Red Zone. Conversely, you would raise those players who may not be as productive yardage-wise but get the ball when the team is close to the goal line. 3) MOCK DRAFT Running a mock draft let’s you predict the players that you might expect to choose from when your pick comes. If you do this for the first several rounds, it allows you to formulate a draft strategy before the draft even begins. To be as effective as possible be realistic when doing your preparations, if you have the twelfth pick in the draft, chances are very good that not all 11 owners picking in front of you will “miss” picking up Titans RB Chris Johnson. 4) PRIORITIZE POSITIONS You must evaluate the NFL talent pool prior to your draft, making note of the elite players at each position. If you feel there are 20 quality running backs & only 6 top quarterbacks, your emphasis should be on drafting a QB first & picking up your running back in the next rounds. Have a strategy! 5) LISTEN TO COMPETING TEAM OWNERS If you can get a feel for what your fellow owners are going to do on draft day, you can adjust your draft strategies accordingly. If the person drafting first comes to the draft wearing a Chargers jersey, it is probably safe to say that you’re going to have to look for a different quarterback other than Philip Rivers. The Fantasy Football Draft is as much about predicting when a player will be selected & waiting as long as possible to draft him, while scooping up other key players before someone else picks them up, as it is about drafting the best available players. 6) LOOK AT THE OFFENSIVE LINE Yes we know that offensive linemen don’t score very often, but consider this. If a running back loses 3/5 of his blocking corps, his numbers will most likely go down. The same is true if a quarterback loses two excellent pass blockers. It helps to have an idea of how each team’s offense shapes up for the upcoming year. 7) PAY ATTENTION TO BYE WEEKS When the Texans joined the league in 2002 there again was an even number of teams, which means the NFL is back to the mid 90’s schedule model, with most byes in midseason. That will help late in the season when the Fantasy Playoffs roll around. Refer to the Draft Day Reference Page to see who’s on bye each week.

DRAFT DAY STRATEGIES

1) MARQUEE NFL PLAYERS AREN’T ALWAYS THE BEST FFL PLAYERS This is a game of stats, don’t draft for intangibles. Matt Hasselbeck has set records with the Seahawks, but he is barely a good backup QB at this point. Remember, you only accumulate points when your players score a lot of points or gain a lot of yards! Big name players late in their careers are at best back up fodder. 2) WATCH ACQUIRING TOO MANY PLAYERS WITH THE SAME BYE WEEK The bye week used to be scheduled on a division by division basis but the NFL has changed that policy. However, you still must pay attention to bye weeks. Having both of your QB’s take the same week off will make things difficult especially if the majority of QB’s are drafted by teams in the league. You may end up having to pick up the NFL’s last ranked QB with the outlook of few points or have to pay more than necessary in a trade as other owners see your predicament.

3) BE CAREFUL WHEN ACQUIRING PLAYERS FROM THE SAME TEAM If two or three players are drafted from the same NFL team, you could also run into problems during bye weeks. Even with a team that scores a lot like the Saints or Vikings, if that team has a poor week & doesn’t score much with two or three players on your roster, you could be in for a bad week. If that happens in the fantasy playoffs, your season would probably be over. 4) LOOK FOR CONSISTENT PLAYERS Players that score 1 TD three out of four weeks are more valuable than the player that scores 3 TD’s one week but doesn’t score again for four weeks. 5) LOOK FOR DURABLE PLAYERS It is, of course, impossible to predict injuries, just ask anyone that had Ronnie Brown & was scrambling for a RB in the middle of last season. However, if a player consistently sits out several games a year due to injuries they might be considered a bigger risk than the player who usually plays the entire 16 game schedule. 6) TRY TO MAKE YOUR RB’s & WR’s THE “GO TO” GUYS ON THEIR TEAMS Simply put, these are the players that score the most & get the most yards. The best scenario is that the “Go To” WR has a solid compliment to offset double teams & to keep defenses from keying on them. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. 7) KEEP TRACK OF WHAT IS GOING ON DURING THE DRAFT This could help you decide which player to choose. As an example say you have the 3rd to last pick of the 2nd round & then therefore the 3rd pick of the 3rd round. You went with a WR with your 1st pick & are deciding between a QB & RB. Keeping track of what other owners have taken you note that the two owners that are choosing after you have both taken a QB already. Therefore, the odds are that you would be able to take the RB now & not worry about losing the QB of your choice. Create a simple graph of all the teams in your league with the team numbers on top and positions (QB, RB, WR, etc) on the side. Check off when each team selects a position. With a quick look you will be able to tell who is in need of what position. 8) KICKERS DO MATTER! Just like in the NFL, good kickers can win or lose close games for you. A Top 5 PK can give you about a 3 point edge each week. While drafting a kicker before the 5th round is ordinarily unadvisable, if you’re not passing on a solid RB or receiver, any time after that should be OK. Once one is taken, there is often a run on kickers. 9) DEFENSE / SPECIAL TEAMS Make sure to take a look at the personnel here. Are the return men still with the team? Has the defensive personnel changed or are they basically intact? Has the DEF coordinator or special teams coaches left, which could mean a different philosophy? Knowing your scoring system is very important here as some leagues have a premium on sacks while in others points allowed are key, thereby making defensive rankings decidedly different. All these items should be reviewed prior to making your rankings. 10) BE AWARE OF A TEAM’S REALISTIC PLAYOFF CHANCES NFL teams that clinch home field early historically will rest their players during weeks that you are in your Fantasy Football playoffs & quite often, your Super Bowl. Many times, drafting a good player on a team that should have to work for a playoff spot will ensure that your player is on the field for your Super Bowl. Also, a great situation happened last year when both QB’s Ben Roethlisberger (503 yds vs GB) & Matt Schaub (365 yds vs SEA and 367 yds vs STL) had great performances at the end of the year as they were trying to lead their respective teams to the playoffs. Team owners with those two players probably won their Super Bowl. Keep that in mind as the season progresses. For Game Day... PLAY THE RIGHT PLAYERS Know what team your players are playing against & play your 2nd & 3rd stringers VS weaker opponents. But keep your starters in the game. In closing, there is definitely a degree of luck that goes into playing Fantasy Football, but the more prepared you are, the more you will increase your chances of being successful.

When vying for your Fantasy Football Championship, go into your draft prepared & end the season a Winner!

Fantasy Football Guide By: Erik Kuselias

Erik Kuselias has been one of the leading Fantasy Football experts in the nation for over a decade. Most notably, while at ESPN (2003-2010) Kuselias was asked to create, host and lead ESPN’s first season long Fantasy football show “Fantasy Football Now.’ In its first season, the show was nominated and won ESPN’s First Fantasy Emmy, claiming honors for Outstanding New Show. With Kuselias, the show moved from an ESPN.com venture over to television garnering huge ratings on ESPN2, and “Fantasy Football Now” became one of the leading shows anywhere on fantasy football. Originally, Kuselias came to ESPN in 2003, where he was tapped to host the nationally syndicated, afternoon radio program “SportsBash with Erik Kuselias”. The show became the fastest growing national sports talk radio show in the nation, growing from 90 cities to over 225 affiliates in just three years. After his stint on ESPN Radio, in 2007, Kuselias was named to host ESPN’s latest daily studio television show “NASCAR NOW”. Kuselias led the show in its inaugural season, where it was nominated for an Emmy for “Best Studio Show”, the only time it has been nominated for such recognition. Kuselias was also asked to come back to nationally syndicated radio full-time, and he hosted “The Erik Kuselias Show” from 2007-2010. In 2009, Kuselias was asked to become the main host for “College Football Live”. Over his eighteen month reign as the primary host, “College Football Live” increased its viewership 18%. Kuselias has also been an integral part of several other ESPN shows, appearing regularly on programs such as “Mike and Mike in the Morning”, “The Herd with Colin Cowherd”, “First Take”, “1st and 10”, “Rome is Burning”, and “SportsCenter”. In 2011, Kuselias signed on with The Golf Channel to host “Morning Drive,” a daily talk show that covers golf as well as other sports. The show debuted on January 3, and can be seen from 7-9 AM ET. Kuselias is also a lifetime member of MENSA, the High IQ society. Before a career in sports, Kuselias was a practicing Attorney. He attended Brown University, The University of Michigan Law School, and received his Masters Degree from the Columbia University School of Journalism.

TOP QUARTERBACKS FOR 2011 Usually an owner's draft position determines how fast he goes for a QB.

Those drafting early will go for one of the high profile players while others look for value early. It's important to have a backup ready & don't be afraid to check the waiver wire for those outperforming their preseason rankings.

TOP RUNNING BACKS FOR 2011

Running Backs are the most important position in fantasy football. They are one of the most reliable factors in scoring leagues & are good for bonus points in yardage leagues. RB's can play in all sorts of weather conditions & a pair of quality RB's can survive injuries and inconsistent performances by other players on a fantasy roster.

TOP KICKERS FOR 2011

A kicker's worth is determined year-to-year, based on the offense he is with & whether he is in any sort of slump. Usually, there is a run on kickers in the mid-rounds, but unless an owner can snag one of the top kickers, they are better off focusing on the remaining starting RB's or a WR/TE prospect.

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #29 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #25

RUN%/RANK 34.4% / 32

QB’s: I was asked in the offseason “If you were Kevin Kolb, would you want to play for either Minnesota or Arizona?” My answer “Would you rather have a better chance of playing in the Super Bowl (MIN) or would you rather have Larry Fitzgerald lovingly carry you to practice each day?” Apparently Kolb is about the love. In Arizona he should thrive. I believe he’s a good player who was caught in a strange scenario (where Michael Vick caught lightning in a bottle). Sure there are OL questions in Arizona and the team lost Steve Breaston to KC but Kolb does have three 300 yard passing games in his 7 career starts. He’s got ability. I’m buying. RB’s: I’ve been waiting for somebody to go out to the desert, grab that job and make a real impact. With Kevin Kolb now the QB, there is the threat of a pass game which was nonexistent in 2010. Ryan Williams is a rookie out of Virginia Tech and showed he can be an every down back for Frank Beamer. The battle between Ryan Williams and Beanie Wells will be interesting to watch both in the preseason and as the 2011 year progresses. Beanie Wells was a 1st round pick in Arizona and people thought he might become a legitimate fantasy RB and take a lot of pressure off of Larry Fitzgerald. Instead, he showed that the injuries he suffered in college would not evade him as a pro. He suffered a torn meniscus in the preseason, sat out the first two games of the year and continued to have problems with his knee. The Cardinals drafted Ryan Williams and with Williams probably being a better runner, Wells is going to have to show you before he is worthy of a roster spot. WR’s Last year was considered a tremendously disappointing year by Larry Fitzgerald and most of the people cite the fact that the QB play was abysmal but he was targeted a whopping 174 times and caught 90+ passes once again. Also his yards actually increased over 2009’s totals. What wasn’t there for Fitzgerald last season were the td’s. He only had 6 as opposed to 25 combined over the previous 2 years. I’m calling for him to have a 5th consecutive season with at least 90 catches and 1,000 yards. I think the td’s will probably get back up towards the double digit mark. TE’s: You have to wonder if, when, where and how often Todd Heap will play, so monitor the situation closely. He is a solid TE, should never be considered a starter but is probably good enough for a roster spot. He’s injury prone but he has ability and the former 1st round pick could bail you out on any one individual week. DEFENSE/ST: It wasn’t that bad in the desert last year despite the fact they gave up almost 6,000 yards, almost 450 points and had only 33 sacks. What saved Arizona to a certain extent was the 10 return TD’s they posted last year. Don’t count on that again. Don’t count on half of that again. As a result, don’t cart on the Arizona Cardinals defense. KICKER: Last year in Arizona Jay Feely really seemed to take to the warm weather. He didn’t miss inside 40 yards and was top 3 in the conference in FG accuracy. With the addition of Kevin Kolb, the Arizona offense should be better which should mean more opportu- Larry Fitzgerald nities for Feely as well. Solid value as a backup.

ATLANTA FALCONS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #11 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #13

QB’s: Matt Ryan set career high most in stats last year. Some have called him a mini Tom Brady but that’s like calling a Toyota a mini Lexus. Yeah, there are some similarities but you know which one you want. Still, Matt Ryan has unbelievable weapons. Roddy White was uncoverable at times last year. Julio Jones won’t make a huge impact as a rookie, but he won’t hurt either and the TE is still pretty good, even if he’s in the back 9 of his career. Another good trend with Ryan, he’s increased his td passing total by 6 each of the past 2 seasons. I never like a team that has a RB with a nose for the EZ (and the Falcons have Turner) but Matt Ryan is a borderline starter. RB’s: Michael Turner was a top 10 fantasy RB last year. You know the drill here. He rushes for a lot of yards, you can book him for double digit td’s, but has almost no chance to make any impact in the passing game. Perhaps no RB’s value changes more depending upon whether you are in a ppr format. I know some people are concerned with the backup last year, Jason Snelling, but despite the fact that Turner didn’t start the game and had to leave another early, he still led the league with 334 carries. He also led the league with 68 redzone totes and is especially called upon when the Falcons play away from home. I like the division, none of the opposing defenses in the NFC South scare me and I think if you are looking for 1,300 rushing yards and about a dozen td’s, he is your guy. WR: Roddy White had an incredible 179 targets last year. I know some have pointed out that his ypc has come down, but when they are throwing you the ball almost 180 times and you catch 115 passes, it’s going to be hard to average 20 ypc. Plus the addition of Julio Jones could actually help White, as defenses have to actually pay attention to the guy on the other side of the field. Roddy White had 21 redzone targets last year which should make you salivate. He’s also durable, hasn’t missed a game in his entire career, and is consistent (scoring in 8 different games last year). Matt Ryan is getting better and this duo could be nasty to play against both on the field and in your fantasy league. Julio Jones has incredible physical skills and at times was the best player on the field when he was playing for Nick Saban down in Alabama. With Roddy White on the other side (who will most certainly draw double teams) Julio Jones is going to be in single coverage. WR is generally not a position where rookies can make a big impact, but Jones is not your typical rookie. Plus with everyone thinking Tony Gonzalez will be on the decline this year (and no real competition for his starting spot), Jones becomes interesting. Sprinkle in the fact that Matt Ryan is a very good player and Jones is probably an underrated commodity. TE’s: Tony Gonzalez had his fewest receptions and lowest receiving yards in more than a decade. Since 1998 to be exact (think about where you were at in 1998...nice wardrobe you had then). Moreover, Gonzalez has had exactly one 100 yard game in the last two seasons. The good news is Gonzalez does get the rock in the redzone leading all TE’s in redzone targets. The 6 td’s could increase but the 62 catches and 576 yards are not likely to dramatically improve. He will be drafted on his name more than on his game and is probably not a high end starter. In fact, he’s at best a borderline start or very good #2. DEFENSE/ST: The Falcons defense was stingy in the redzone and they have some playmakers. Jonathan Babineaux and Jonathan Abraham anchor a very good defensive line and they do have some guys who are former 1st round picks. You have to wonder how much scare tissue has built up from giving up almost a half hundred to the Packers in the playoffs (in their own building) but I don’t expect one bad game last year to ruin the 2011 season. I think Atlanta will be a very good #2 defense. KICKER: The first season in Atlanta was a success for Matt Bryant. He actually was named the teams’ co-MVP (say that one out loud, “kicker co-MVP”) but he was top 5 in the league in all of the important statistics. The downside is that he doesn’t have much leg strength. Don’t expect a lot of over 50 yard FG’s but he does play in a dome and weather should not be a problem for most weeks for Bryant. ERIK’S CRAZY NOTES: • Michael Turner didn’t start one game and had to leave another early, he still led the league with 334 carries. He also led the league with 68 redzone touches. He’s the guy. • Roddy White had an incredible 179 targets last year..including 21 redzone targets. • Sure Tony Gonzalez had his fewest receptions and lowest receiving since 1998 and has had exactly one 100 yard game in the last two seasons. But he led all TE’s in redzone targets. • K Matt Bryant was named the teams’ co-MVP in his first season with the team. G

QB’s: The Ravens like to run the football just about half the time, which is why Joe Flacco finished in the middle third among QB’s in both pass attempts and yards. His WR’s are not great, even with Anquan Boldin. Flacco’s Td/int (26-10) ratio is nice but certainly not thrilling. Flacco has improved his int % as well as increasing his td passes each year he’s been in the league. Small point, his QB coach Jim Zorn was fired. Flacco and Zorn were close (Flacco certainly did not endorse the move) plus he is seeking a contract extension and has not received a satisfactory offer. He’ll be “okay” but probably not good enough to get you a title. RB’s: Ray Rice had a disappointing 2010 rushing for less than 1,250 yards and scoring only 6 td’s. Moreover, he was simply putrid at the start of the season and didn’t score the entire first quarter of the season. The yardage went up after the first quarter of the season but the td’s were never there. Willis McGahee is now in Denver, the O-line should be better and Ray Rice will continue to get the ball. I think this is an excellent season to get back on the Ray Rice bandwagon considering most people felt burned with what he did last year. Rice also will be part of the pass game. His 82 targets were top 3 among RB’s last year. He’s only had seven 100 yard games in his career and managed just 2 last year but I’m willing to bet on Rice. Keep in mind, he is better at home than on the road and that is always a concern when you look at schedule. WR’s: Anquan Boldin started fast out of the gate scoring 5 td’s in his first 7 games and having at least 4 catches in 6 of his first 7 contests but in the final 9 games of the season, he was beyond abysmal averaging less than 3 catches per game and only scoring 2 td’s. Basically when Boldin was doubled, he disappeared. In fact, he gained more than 50 yards only one time in the second half of the season. Plus, Boldin is a very old 30. I expect his production to be less boom and bust but not terrifically different overall in 2011. TE’s: Not really anyone you want here. Last year Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta were non-factors. DEFENSE/ST: Ray Lewis, Terrelle Suggs, Haloti Ngata and Ed Reed all talented, experienced and a headache for offensive coordinators. Corners will be healthier this year, the sack total will increase. Good defense. KICKER: Billy Cundiff was Top 10 in scoring and was in the top half dozen in terms of accuracy but he’s inconsistent and if you get burned by Cundiff, you can’t fault anybody but the guy in the mirror. He’s a solid back end #1 option but should not be drafted as an Ray Rice elite kicker. ERIK’S CRAZY NOTES: • Ray Rice didn’t score the entire first quarter of the season…but his 82 targets were top 3 among RB’s last year. Still, he’s only had seven 100 yard games in his career and managed just 2 last year.

2011 DEPTH CHART OFFENSE

QB’s: Ryan Fitzpatrick went to Harvard. If I want a Harvard guy, he’d better be operating on me, doing my taxes or representing me in court. I don’t want him quarterbacking my football team. Sure he was great in the first 8 games, with 18 td passes and almost 250 ypg. Then it got u-g-l-y. Plus, the OL is worse than liver. But, the Bills didn’t draft a QB so Fitzpatrick will probably have the job, WR Steve Johnson is pretty good and Buffalo should be behind a lot. RB’s: This time last year one of the hot fantasy debates was how much CJ Spiller would impact the fantasy landscape. I said he wouldn’t be on any of my fantasy teams and he wasn’t. For the most part, the prevailing opinion was that if Spiller weren’t the man, it would be because of Marshawn Lynch, but after Lynch was traded to Seattle early in the season, it was Fred Jackson who became the feature back in Buffalo. Now Fred Jackson is not great, he is not a big play threat, and plays on a team that has been consistently awful in recent memory. In fact, the Bills attempted only 8 rushes inside the opponents 5 yard line last season (which is alarming low). The silver lining in this dark cloud is that Fred Jackson got all 8 attempts and will probably score 7 or 8 td’s in 2011. I expect the overall production to be fairly similar. Ultimately, Fred Jackson is solid and will get you the occasional 100 yard game but nobody thinks that he is going to be the difference between you hoisting the trophy and yelling “woo whoo” and going back to the drawing board for another long, cold offseason. WR’s: If you watched my show on ESPN last year, “Fantasy Football Now”, you know that I got on the Steve Johnson bus early and rode it from sun up to sun down for about ten straight weeks. Johnson was and is the top target in Buffalo. He will Fred Jackson drop the ball and you have to wonder if last year was a bit of a fluke, (guys like Stevie Johnson sometimes fade once defensive coordinators understand what they’re all about). But, his 143 targets last year are nothing to sneeze at, and while I don’t expect him to score 10 td’s again, matching the 82 catches and 1,073 yards are very realistic. DEFENSE/ST: Buffalo is not a good football team. They weren’t a good team in 2010, they won’t be in 2011. They will lose more than they’ll win. They won’t intercept a lot of passes, they won’t force a lot of fumbles, they won’t sack the QB 30 times. Plus, they’ll give up more than 400 points and close to 6,000 yards. This is a fancy long-winded way of me saying “Don’t draft Buffalo.” KICKER: Ryan Lindell is a pro. Just make sure Ryan Fitzpatrick he’s on someone else’s team on draft day.

2011 DEPTH CHART OFFENSE

QB’s: Cam Newton’s not going to have a great year one in the NFL. Heck, he may never be great (I’m thinking poor man’s Ben Roethlisberger) but they are going to give him a chance and he’s going to play. He won’t have the success Josh Freeman had last year in Tampa because he doesn’t have that kind of ability. I’m going to lay off Cam Newton and let somebody else draft him. Assuming Cam Newton is not going to be the Josh Freeman of 2010, at some point in time Jimmy Clausen may get the call. When he has played, it has not been good. He had the worst QB rating in the league and his 3-9 ratio would make Vinnie Testaverde blush on his worst day. He’s undraftable. RB’s: Good news in Carolina. DeAngelo Williams was re-signed and is back in the fold. But this is also bad news for fantasy owners because the time split in Carolina likely continues. Like your friend who cannot make up his mind where he wants to go for dinner, I’m hoping Carolina will “pick a lane”. I know both guys have been injured over the last two seasons, but DeAngelo Williams can be pretty nasty when he plays. He’ll never get back to the 20 td’s he scored in 2008 but he should be healthier and better than his disappointing ‘09 or 2010. Likewise, I’m a Jonathan Stewart fan. I liked him coming out of Oregon. He will exceed last year’s production. WR’s: This just in - Steve Smith was not good last season. He played 14 games but his total suggest he played more like 6 or 7. The 2010 numbers were the worst Smith has posted in a decade and he didn’t score in the team’s final 14 games. He’s also injury prone having missed at least 1 game in each of the last 5 years. Now, at 31, Smith will try to resurrect his career with a rookie QB who may not be up for the challenge. TE’s: Jeremy Shockey was supposed to be the TE in Carolina and he was supposed to discover that Drew Brees isn’t his QB anymore but Carolina has made another move. They acquired ex-Chicago TE Greg Olsen. At this time last year one of the big questions at TE was “How does Greg Olsen fit into a Mike Martz offense?” The answer “Not that good”. He only caught 41 passes, barley cracked the 400 yard mark despite playing in every game last year. Every once in awhile he showed flashes of brilliance but is not going to be a consistent option call for you. In fact his targets were the most alarming statistic I could find on Greg Olsen dropping from 110 in 2009 to 68 last year. They will go back up in 2011, but Jonathan Stewart Olsen is a reserve, not a starter in Carolina. DEFENSE/ST: The Panthers had the 1st pick in the draft and for good reason. They were putrid everywhere. Defense was no exception. They gave up more than 400 points and were pretty porous in most categories. Having the 1st pick they decided to go offense with Cam Newton so it’s probably not going to get better on “D” any time soon. They did resign Charles Johnson to a monster contract, but there is almost always another defense that’s better than Carolina. KICKER: Carolina will not score a lot of points, Olindo Mare is not an elite kicker, go someplace else.

• Steve Smith didn’t score in the team’s final 14 games.

Then they traded him to Carolina. G

2011 DEPTH CHART OFFENSE

QB’s: Jay Cutler called off his engagement and has been having to answer questions about how tough he is. Not exactly the offseason you’re looking for. The in-season may not be any better. Unfortunately, the OL isn’t great, he doesn’t have a receiver that keeps opposing DC’s up at night and every once in a while he will have a game that guarantees a loss for your fantasy team. Last year at this time a lot of folks were saying Jay Cutler plus Mike Martz equals fantasy gold. As you may remember, I ran away from Jay Cutler and called him “riskier than 2 day old sushi”. This year I’m a little more bullish on Cutler and would not be opposed to anyone drafting him as a backup with a “who knows” attitude. RB’s: Name the 5 RB’s who rushed for more than 1,000 yards and also had at least 500 receiving yards. I’ll give you a hint. One of them is Matt Forté. This, despite having a putrid O-line. Forté actually played pretty good football last year and his 9 td’s were a nice little surprise. My concern with Forté is that he scored on just 1 of 10 attempts inside the opponents 5. You can blame the O-line but that doesn’t help you when you tally up your fantasy points for the week. Also, Matt Forté is clearly more valuable in ppr leagues, I think he’s more solid than spectacular but I do like a guy who has caught an average of more than 55 passes over the last 3 years. Additionally, the Chicago coaching staff has made it clear they’d like to run the football a little more, and that should help Matt Forté as well. I worry Marion Barber will steal goal line carries, but the Martz offense isn’t conducive to a goal line back scoring huge TD’s. WR’s: Johnny Knox is the #1 receiver in Chicago and seems to be on the same page as Jay Cutler. He is clearly a burner who can score from anywhere on the field. He’s not a great fantasy player and the offense struggled more than most expected. In fact, Chicago’s passing game was in the bottom 5 in the NFL last year. However, Knox was inconsistent having 1 catch Jay Cutler or less in 3 games and 16 yards or less 3 times as well. When you draft him you expect that he will burn you in a couple of games. TE’s: Greg Olsen is a player. But in a Martz offense you don’t draft the tight end. Olsen’s targets dropped from 110 pre-Martz to 69 last year. Now he’s in Carolina. Don’t draft his replacement. DEFENSE/ST: Julius Peppers should pay even bigger dividends this season. I don’t like the schedule which starts with Atlanta, New Orleans and Green Bay (good luck with all that) but there’s talent on this team, they are well balanced, and should be very close to last year’s numbers. KICKER: Robbie Gould has now been in Chicago for a number of years and with good reason - he’s a good player. He has missed 3, 4 and 5 FG’s each of the last 3 years which makes him a fairly accurate kicker. Plus, if you add in the 3 kicks from over 50 yards last year as well as the fact that he hasn’t missed but one xp try in his career, we like Robbie Gould.

QB’s: Carson Palmer. He can pass for almost 4,000 and throw more than 25 td’s or he could retire. They did draft AJ Green, who is probably best suited to make the best impact of any rookie fantasy pass catcher but he just simply is not great when it comes to fantasy football. Go in a different direction especially if that direction is Bruce Gradkowski or rookie Andy Dalton. RB’s: Cedric Benson only averaged 3.5 ypc but he did tote the rock 321 times. His 8 td’s were nothing to sneeze at, but remember that was a career high and he probably won’t match that total again. There is also a lot of tread off the Benson tire and you have to wonder if he can continue to absorb this many hits on what appears to be a career of 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Cedric Benson probably won’t be on any team that I draft in any league, in any format. WR’s: Rookie WR generally don’t make much of an impact with only a few notable exceptions but AJ Green is a physical marvel and will probably prove ultimately worthy of being selected in the top 5 players in the NFL draft and with Terrelle Owens a free agent and Chad Ochocinco now in New England, it seems as though AJ Green can make an impact on day one. Sure the QB situation is unsettled (Carson Palmer is threatening to retire as opposed to playing in Cincinnati) but you have to like a guy who is the #1 receiver on any decent team and who proved to be a “boy-dog warrior beast” in college at Georgia. Jerome Simpson was drafted in the 2nd round and came to the Bengals with some hype. However, he made virtually no contribution during his first 3 years but then last year he very quietly had big games of at least 120 yards in back-to-back efforts late in the season. That also included 3 td’s and 18 total catches in those 2 contests. Now that Chad Ochocinco is in New England and Terrell Owens has not been resigned, it’s basically Simpson and rookie AJ Green. Each is a nice upside pick. TE’s: Jermaine Gresham is a productive player. He missed all of his college season in 2009 due to knee surgery and also got hurt last year so he definitely gets the dreaded “red cross” sign next to his name but I wouldn’t be afraid to take a very late flyer in Jermaine Gresham as a backup TE. DEFENSE/ST: The Bengals are okay, they are just not good. They don’t do anything particularly well, they don’t do anything practically poorly. They give up a few more points than you’d like to see and they’re only average at best in any individual category. Therefore, the Bengals are a defense that you should avoid, kind of like asking a woman “when are you expecting?” Just don’t do it. KICKER: You don’t want the Bengal kicker, even if he is an Ohio St boy kick for an Ohio base team.

Jermaine Gresham

QB’s: People kind of scoffed at Colt McCoy coming out of Texas, but Cleveland may be on to something. No, he’s not making anyone forget Peyton Manning any time soon but there are worse options. I don’t like having to play the Steelers defense and the Ravens defense for 25% of my total season, so I think McCoy is probably someone you should watch on the waiver wire and use him only as a matchup play. RB’s: I’ve never seen more guys man-crush another guys arms than I have with Peyton Hillis. Dude, they’re good but as one of my friends said “He’s still a guy, right?” Hillis is a “boy-dog warrior beast” and was top 5 in fantasy points last season. However, despite looking like a FB, Hillis did slump down the stretch. In the last 5 games, he averaged less than 4 yards per carry and DID NOT SCORE A SINGLE TD. Sure, he got banged up (ribs) but no td’s down the stretch scares me. Plus. Montario Hardesty comes back which makes me wonder if Hillis will eclipse 330 touches again. Hillis was the team MVP last season but I expect his production to come back down to earth. If for no other reason than he should see the field less. Montario Hardesty was very highly touted coming into the season last year but tore an ACL in the preseason and didn’t play a snap in the regular season. With the emergence of Peyton Hillis, there is obviously less hype around Hardesty coming into 2011. He is simply a handcuff in case something does not work out with Hillis and may get a few opportunities if Hillis can’t stay healthy. WR’s: Wow. Where do you start? Same place you finish, without a Browns’ wide receiver on your roster. TE’s: Ben Watson is an experienced player, grew up in the New England system and could be a good safety valve for a young QB (take notice Colt McCoy). Colt McCoy In fact last year he had over 100 targets and posted career highs in catches and yards. I think Watson’s an undervalued fantasy player and if he could boost that 3 td performance of 2010 to the 5 td’s he scored in only 7 starts the year before (albeit with Tom Brady at the helm) Watson could be good value. DEFENSE/ST: The Browns were better last year and their first round pick, CB Joe Haden had 6 int’s. They are switching schemes which can always be dicey, but I expect Joshua Cribbs to have a better year (do you realize he didn’t score any special teams TD’s in 2010?). This is a below average, #2 defense, but certainly not the worst fantasy defense in the league. KICKER: Same kicker. Same mediocre producPeyton Hillis tion. Look elsewhere. ERIK’S CRAZY NOTES: • Colt McCoy has to play 25% of his games against the Steelers and the Ravens defense. • Team MVP Peyton Hillis DID NOT SCORE A SINGLE TD in the last 5 games. • Last year, Ben Watson had over 100 targets and posted career highs in catches and yards. • Joshua Cribbs didn’t score any special teams TD’s in 2010 G

DALLAS COWBOYS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #13 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #14

QB’s: Tony Romo suffered a clavicle injury last October which ended his season but even though he wasn’t playing well, he was on pace to throw for more than 4,200 yards. Plus, I really like Dez Bryant to become and elite player this year and Miles Austin is very solid, Jason Witten is a weapon so I’m recommending Romo more highly than most. Take the ‘09 season for instance. 550 pass att, almost 4,500 yards passing, 27 td’s, less than 10 int’s. Per start, he’s been better than Peyton Manning - yep, better than Peyton Manning! My concern with Romo is major questions on the OL which is something most fantasy players ignore to an alarming degree. If Romo can stay upright, the weapons will make him dangerous. RB’s: Felix Jones was probably very happy with the decision to promote Jason Garrett to head coach. He eclipsed at least 75 yards in every game of the second half of the season last year. With Marion Barber now out of the fold in Dallas, Felix Jones should make an even bigger impact. Jerry Jones loves Felix Jones (they’re not related) but Jerry probably didn’t love the lack of endzone production, I know I was certainly perturbed. Felix will eclipse 2 td’s this year but he’s not exactly a td machine. In fact, he’s only got 8 td’s in his entire career which is fairly disappointing. Jones has some upside but is risky as an every week starter. With no more Marion Barber, someone’s going to score tds running the football in Dallas. It could be Tashard Choice. The Cowboys did draft DeMarco Murray in April (although he does not fit the mold of a goal line back). Choice really isn’t a great scorer, scoring 3 td’s each of the last 2 years. WR’s: Miles Austin had a very mediocre 2010 and disappointed on a lot of fronts but to be fair, he didn’t have his QB for much of the season. With Tony Romo, Austin was looking at an exceptional season. He’s great with the yac (yards after catch) and gets a lot of redzone targets. My biggest concern is that Dez Bryant is going to be the better player. He might be better right now. Moreover, Austin isn’t the model of consistency either and often accumulates statistics with the occasional monster game. If and when Dez Bryant cuts into those monster performances and Miles Austin could be a risky pick as a #1 receiver. Speaking of Bryant, there were certainly injuries in Dez Bryant’s rookie year. In fact, his season was ultimately lost to a broken right fibula. However, the latest injury reports are favorable and Dez Bryant is poised to bounce back. I love a guy who scored a total of 8 td’s in a very limited role. Let others rank Bryant too low, but he will probably double his targets, could double his receptions and yards and if he doubles his td’s, he’ll be the best pick you made on draft day. TE’s: Jason Witten. Who was the #1 fantasy TE last season? Who is as reliable as any TE in the NFL? Who has played in all 16 regular season games every year since 2004? Who has at least 950 receiving yards in each of the last four seasons? Well, considering these questions are under the name Jason Witten, you guessed it. Despite having backup QB’s for most of the season, Witten had an incredible 2010 matching his previous year’s total of 94 catches. What increased last year with the td’s, from 2 in 2009 to 9 in 2010. And, while it seems like Jason Witten has been playing since John Mackey, he’s only 29. He’s a safe pick as long as he doesn’t become endzone challenged. DEFENSE/ST: The Cowboys’ defense won’t be that bad and new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan (yep, brother of Rex) has some talent. They are probably not a top 10 fantasy unit, but they are probably a solid #2. They did have 7 return TD’s last year and are unlikely to match that figure, which will hurt their point total in 2011. KICKER: David Buehler. Dallas is going to score more points this year and the value of the Dallas kicker will go up. I like Buehler more than most. I’d be very comfortable with you taking Buehler as your kicker in the last round and banking on the fact that good home field conditions, a healthy QB this year and one of the elite pass catching corps in the NFL all reside in Dallas make me saying “Buehler, Buehler, Buehler” isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #28 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #27

QB’s: Kyle Orton should start in Denver, but they’d love Tebow to get the job. If you draft Orton and he starts fast, trade him before the inevitable benching. On the other hand, Tim Tebow ran for 6 td’s last year in only 3 games started and if this was more than a decade ago (and I was Forrest Gump) I would say “That’s all I have to say about that.” But since it’s 2011 and people are asking “what do you do with Tebow?” I’ll say I like Brandon Lloyd and while Tebow has better passing ability than a lot of folks anticipated, he still is really far from home. You have to wonder if savvy defenses will figure him out and he’s probably not a guy you can go to war with as your starter, when he becomes the starter. RB’s: Nobody likes to root against another person but I’m sure Knowshon Moreno didn’t shed a tear when Josh McDaniels was let go. Moreno wasn’t exactly a featured RB averaging less than 15 carries per game under boy-wonder Josh’s regime. Now with John Fox taking over, you can expect the rushing totals to increase. I know Moreno is not a big guy, and there is questions about durability, but undeniably the number of opportunities should go up. I’m a little concerned that Tim Tebow will take away a lot of the rushing TD’s (if play plays Tebow was an absolute td monster near the goal line) but I believe Moreno is an excellent candidate for 1,00 yards rushing, 45 to 50 catches and somewhere around 7 to 10 td’s. I know you may want to bang on Moreno for wearing down on you and in his final 3 games to totalled just 65 yards, but the former 1st round pick has ability and could be a very solid #2 RB for your team. Kyle Orton WR’s: Patience is a virtue. This is Brandon Lloyd’s NFL mantra. After 7 mediocre seasons, he broke out last year including receiving yards where he was the league leader. He was also the primary target in the redzone. This time last year a lot of folks were touting 1st round pick Demaryius Thomas as the guy to get in Denver. His injuries have lingered and in fact it is uncertain when Thomas will be able to play. Certainly I would have Brandon Lloyd much higher if Kyle Orton was the established starter for a guaranteed 16 games. I don’t think he’ll come anywhere near the 153 targets last season or the 1,448 yards plus I] think the 11 td’s will decrease as well. DEFENSE/ST: It’s hard to believe how bad the Bronco defense was last year. They only had 24 fantasy points for the ENTIRE YEAR. That’s 24 more points than me, you and nine secretaries from the office achieved. Twenty-three sacks is embarrassing. A combined 18 int’s and fumble recoveries is among the league low. This might be as bad of a defense as you will see in a long time. KICKER: Matt Prater was having a very good year last year before he had to miss the final quarter of the season. Check out where he lands and if it’s in a good spot with a solid offense, he is a kicker you can draft with your last selection that will outperform expectations.

DETROIT LIONS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #19 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #16

QB’s: Just as I said I wasn’t opposed to anyone drafting Jay Cutler as a backup with a “who knows” attitude, the same thing goes for Matthew Stafford. The kid has a cannon, but most of the time you’re watching him in a sweatshirt and pants on the sideline. He has missed 19 of the 32 games his team has played as a pro. In fact, he only played 3 games last year so you have to wonder if he’s going to turn the corner. But, in those 3 games, he did have 6 td passes and only one pick. Plus, he does have Megatron on the outside. Clearly, in his 13 NFL starts, Stafford’s fantasy stats make him starter-worthy. Like Orton or Cutler, I wouldn’t want to go to war with Stafford as my guy, but I wouldn’t be upset if he was my backup either. When Shuan Hill plays he plays pretty well and he seems to play often as Matthew Stafford. But Hill isn’t exactly the Cal Ripken of signal callers either. He went down in the Thanksgiving day game. RB’s: Durability is the big question with Jahvid Best, he’s not a big guy and he was banged up both in college and in his rookie season in Detroit. When Best has been healthy, he has been dynamic at times. For instance, look at the first 2 weeks of last season and you’ll blush over your own giddiness. I just don’t think Best is ever going to be a healthy 16 game, 25 touch guy and so I’m probably less optimistic than most. Plus, despite the fact that he is considered a speed RB, less than 8% of his runs went for more than 10 yards. Also (predictably) small guys can wear down towards the end of the year. Best only rushed for about 100 yards combined in the team’s last 4 games. Plus, Best didn’t score between weeks 3 through 15. With the Lions drafting Mikel Leshoure, I wonder if Best is considered every down back. Mikel Leshoure is a rookie and becomes the 2nd rookie RB in as many years to work into the fold in Detroit. He did score 20 td’s last year at Illinois which leads me to believe he will carry the ball down near the goal line. Add in the fact that Jahvid Best is not a big RB, nor has he shown a nose for the endzone and Mikel Leshoure could surprise you with a number of td’s. If you can draft him late and stash him on your bench, he may make you happy in the second half of the season. WR’s: Calvin Johnson has missed 3 games over the last 2 years and has had to play with a multitude of QB’s. Still the production is there. He had 12 td’s last year (13 if you give him the one unfairly wiped out against Chicago). Megatron is simply a beast. If he gets some consistency with his QB, I expect the numbers to increase, at least as far as receptions and yards are concerned. The big concern for Calvin Johnson is that he disappears a lot. He was held under 60 yards receiving in more than half of his games last year. Also he’s never had 80 catches in any year. I think the 80 catches will change and I think he’ll be more consistent in 2011. I’m very bullish on Calvin Johnson. TE’s: Brandon Pettigrew was a 1st round pick out of Oklahoma St by the Lions and now entering his 3rd year, he has shown signs of promise. Last season he was in the top 3 in TE receptions and had at least 4 grabs in ten different games. He’s big and if Matt Stafford is healthy, could have a really nice year and be a compliment to Calvin Johnson. Pettigrew is an excellent gamble as your #2 TE. DEFENSES/ST: Yeah, I’m going to like Detroit more than most people but guess what? The Lions have been acquiring players for this side of the ball. They did force almost 30 turnovers last year and Ndamukong Suh is only going to improve. Forty-four sacks is nothing to sneeze at. If they can bolster the int total and give up less points, they will be in the top half of the fantasy defenses. KICKER: Jason Hanson was drafted 2 years after the end of the stone age but he’s held down the job and has had more highlights than low lights as an NFL kicker. Perhaps the worst thing you can say about his career was that his injury led to Ndamukong Suh having to attempt a kick (Yikes!). Hanson has value as a #2 kicker. ERIK’S CRAZY NOTES: • Matthew Stafford has missed 19 of the 32 games his team has played as a pro, but in the 3 games he played last, he did have 6 td passes and only one pick. •If you’re high on Jahvid Best, consider that he only rushed for about 100 yards combined in the team’s last 4 games, and he didn’t score between weeks 3 through 15. • Don’t sleep on Brandon Pettigrew. Last season he was in the top 3 in TE receptions and had at least 4 grabs in ten different games. G

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #8 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #3

QB’s: Aaron Rodgers. The kid is a fantasy stud. He lost Ryan Grant right off the bat in Wk1 and the OL was battered throughout the year as well. In fact, he was sacked 9 times in a 2 game span and missed some time at the end of the year. But there is way more good than bad here. It’s not only his arm, it’s Rodger’s leg as well. He scored 13 rush td’s over the past 3 seasons and if you think the rushing statistic is minor, keep in mind that he has run for 13 td’s over the last 3 years - that’s as many as the other top QB’s combined in fantasy football save for Michael Vick. And if fact, he’s almost slump proof, and he gets Jermichael Finley back and I’m giddy. Plus, at age 27, he’s in his prime and Rodgers accounted for at least 32 total td’s each of the last 3 years. RB’s: Ryan Grant went down for the season in Wk 1 with torn ankle ligaments and a knee fracture. The only positive about the injury is that is came so early that it allowed Ryan Grant owners time to scramble and adjust. The Packers scrambled and ultimately won the Super Bowl. I’m a little concerned that James Starks will get some run (he was impressive in spots last year) but Ryan Grant is experienced and steady. I probably only draft Starks if I only had Ryan Grant on my roster or if I had enough space to keep Starks as a vulture pick.The Big question is who will Mike McCarthy hand the ball to when the Packers are 1st & goal at the 1 and how many TD’s will Aaron Rodgers continue to steal td’s with his legs as well. WR’s: Greg Jennings had a resurgent 2010 especially when it came time for getting in the endzone which he did a dozen times. Jennings does very well in the yac category (yards after catch). Jennings is clearly the favorite WR target of Aaron Rodgers. It remains to be seen if a healthy Jermichael Finley takes some looks and td’s away from Jennings (personally I don’t see Greg Jennings having 17 redzone targets and 7 redzone td’s like he did last season). I think he will come back down to earth in the td category but have about the same number of receptions and yards. I point out that in games Finley played, Jennings’ production did go down so I’m not as high on Jennings as some of the other publications. Plus Ryan Grant comes back as well so the ball may be spread out a little more. Also, go look at what Jordy Nelson did in the playoffs last year helping Green Bay make their run to a Super Bowl Championship. The Green Bay pass game is going to get crowded. Donald Driver is a pro’s pro. Sort of the NFC version of Derrick Mason. Now he’s 36 and no longer the top target in Green Bay but despite the age and the lack of production last year, the Packers apparently still believe and Driver says he has enough left in the tank. I don’t expect his production to be much different than what you saw in 2010. James Jones had a Yeoman-like season catching 50 balls for 679 yards and scoring 5 td’s but as we continue to mention there are a lot of mouths to feed in Green Bay. Will it be Driver? Finley? Ryan? Grant? Greg Jennings? Jordy Nelson or James Jones? TE’s: A torn meniscus in his right knee ended Jermichael Finley’s season in week 5. Reports say he is ready to go, and his size, speed and ability make him a nasty matchup for any defense. People will talk about getting burned last year on Finley and by the end of they year, they’ll talk about the rewards he paid off in 2011. He averaged more than 14 yards per reception and two years ago, amazingly, Rodgers and Finley connected on over 78% of their passes. Clearly, the concern is 2 years in a row of injury but at some point in time, you have to believe that Jermichael Finley is going to put together an elite season. I believe its the 2001 season, Finley’s my #1 TE. DEFENSE/ST: Dom Campers is an elite defensive coordinator. GB held 6 opponents to 7 points or less, including a shutout of the NYJets. Clay Matthews, BJ Raji, Charles Woodson. This team is loaded. Feel free to draft early and often. KICKER: Mason Crosby will kick a lot of xp’s, this we know. The last 3 years, he’s booted 46, 49 and 46. The problem is that they don’t kick all that many FG’s and last year only attempted 28. But I expect more FG’s this year; probably around the 34 or 36 they had the two previous seasons. He’s not the most accurate guy in the league but with the chances he gets, he’ll help you out - feel free to draft. ERIK’S CRAZY NOTES: • Aaron Rodgers has 13 rush td’s over the past 3 seasons, and has accounted for at least 32 total td’s each of the last 3 years. • Two years ago (before last year’s injury plagued campaign) Jermichael Finley and Rodgers connected on over 78% of their passes.

QB’s: There was a time that Fred Taylor was a great player but too big of an injury risk to take early in fantasy football. Then suddenly he started putting together seasons where he was playing virtually every down. Fred Taylor, meet Matt Schaub. While Schaub was considered an injury risk, he has played all 16 games each of the last 2 seasons and has been a yardage machine, averaging over 4,500 yards over that span. He doesn’t turn the ball over much, has never thrown double digit int’s as a starter but the td’s aren’t wild either. Except mid to high td’s in the 20’s, 4,300 yards passing and 8 int’s. RB’s: The surprise of the 2010 season was Arian Foster. If you remember, I was recommending Ben Tate in the offseason to anyone who would listen. In fact, I was accused of being related to Tate at one point (or at least auditioning to be his hype-man). When he fractured his fibula and tore ankle ligaments in the preseason last year, the RB situation was a little unsettled but Arian Foster grabbed the opportunity and became a dominant player. Now Foster is the guy. The O-line is underrated and last year’s rushing champ should have another good one. I don’t expect 16 td’s again this year the RB position is the one that is probably the most dependent on opportunity and O-line (meaning there are probably 70 guys that could put up really good numbers in the right system). Arian Foster is clearly one of those guys that can make a statistical impact given an opportunity. Plus, Foster is a bit of a long ball threat having 42 carries of at least 10 yards. There is always a risk of a sophomore slump but Foster should help you out plus he is an intricate part of the passing game and caught 66 passes for over 600 yards and a couple of td’s last year. WR’s Andre Johnson had a bum ankle last year and still had a really great season (86 grabs, 1200+ yards). This preseason it’s been a finger. In addition to health, you always worry about the td’s with Johnson (he doesn’t seem to have that 15 td season in him) but 8 and 13 games isn’t bad. His targets are off the chart averaging double digit per game! Simply because they throw him the ball so often, he has to be considered the #1 WR. I expect him to get back to his form of 2008 and 2009 and catch over 100 balls. Some may want to hear about the emergence of Arian Foster but I actually think that this could stretch the field for Andre. Many people are waiting for Jacoby Jones to break out but the reality is that he never really separated himself from Kevin Walter. As a result, he’s just one of the guys on the other side of Andre Johnson. If fact, Walter might be the better play (or at least the more consistent play). If you are looking for an upside take Jones, if you need immediate production, I would recommend Walter. TE’s: Owen Daniels’ struggled to come back from ACL surgery at the beginning of last year but by the end of the season, he was a force. His last 4 games he caught 22 passes for almost 300 yards and score a couple of times plus Houston likes to throw the ball and Matt Schaub will be among the leaders in passing yardage as he has been in each of the last two season. The emergence of Arian Foster may cut into the attempts a bit, but Daniels led his team in targets and tied for the lead in receptions over the Texans’ final 4 games. DEFENSE/ST: No return TD’s last season, only 5 fumble recoveries make it hard for the Texans to be worse than they were in 2010. They still have Mario Williams, they do have some good players, they’ll be healthier, less suspended and more viable. Also, when you consider that the Colt offense may not be as nasty, the Jaguars will be mediocre and Tennessee is in complete rebuilding mode, you can probably do worse. KICKER: Neil Rackers was solid if not spectacular and didn’t miss anything inside 40 yards. If you want consistency, you can take Neil Rackers.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #2 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #20

QB’s: Peyton Manning is great, but the big concern this year is injury. Manning has been rock solid. For over a decade, it’s been death, taxes and #18 lining up under Center in Indianapolis. He’s gone over 4,000 yards for 5 years in a row and last year did it with a variety of injuries to key pass catchers including Dallas Clark and Austin Collie. Manning will not attempt 679 passes again and both the OL and the run game is unsettled but it’s still Peyton Manning, and if healthy you can still expect 4,000 yards, over 30 td’s and rock solid play throughout the entire season. The Colts generally rank among the worst team’s in the league running the football and with the OL injuries it probably won’t get much better. RB’s: Joseph Addai missed 8 games with a neck injury last year, has no ability to break off runs and probably cannot be an every down back. Plus, once again he’ll also have to deal with former 1st round pick out of Connecticut, Donald Brown. Addai is smart, knows how to pick up the blitz, can protect Peyton Manning and has seasons where he scored huge td’s (in 2009 Addai had 13 td’s, 10 rushing). But you have to wonder if this is the end of the line for the former LSU star. WR’s: Reggie Wayne has been the model of consistency (hey, who wouldn’t be with Peyton Manning as the QB for your entire career) and like Manning, Wayne is never sick at sea. He hasn’t missed a game in 10 years and has 7 straight years of at least 75 catches and more than 1,000 yards and before you think Reggie Wayne is on the down slide, he had a career high in catches last year, with 111. But you have to wonder if Peyton Manning is completely healthy and the return of Dallas Clark could impact Wayne’s opportunities as well. Also the td’s have not been off the chart recently. He’s averaged less than 8 over the last 3 years. The production will definitely go down this year but the td’s may actually increase. I think his fantasy points will be very similar and he should be drafted as a low end #1. Austin Collie was a pleasant surprise last year for Colts fans and fantasy owners alike, getting off to a hot start where he averaged just about 4 grabs and a td over his first 6 games. But, concussions (sometimes brutal looking) ended his season. He is slated to be in camp on time and with Peyton Manning throwing you the ball, there is always opportunity for you to have a big game. I love the 8 td’s and only 6 starts. I was hoping for better things out of Pierre Garcon in 2010 and after recommending him in the preseason, he was not good early. But after Austin Collie went down injured and Dallas Clark had long been lost for the year, I once again recommended Garcon down the stretch and he delivered scoring 5 td’s in his final 5 games. He is coming into his 4th season and I expect it will be his best. Sure, Garcon drops the ball way too much but when you have role in that offense, you have value. TE’s: In 2009 Dallas Clark caught 100 passes for more than 1,100 yards and scored double digit td’s. He was poised to have another great year in 2010 when a displaced tendon in his right wrist in Wk 6 shut down his season. You can see how valuable it is to have the Colts TE as Jacob Tanny filled in and was excellent. Peyton Manning trusts Clark and that makes you feel warm and fuzzy at night. Expect Dallas Clark to ring up 80 catches for 900+ yards and find the endzone between half a dozen and 10 times. DEFENSE/ST: The Colts are known for Peyton Manning and continuity. I’m projecting continuity out of the defense, meaning they will continue to be below average. Figure around the same 30 sacks, 10 int’s, 11 fumble recoveries that they had last year and they will be a defense that you shouldn’t be buying on draft day. KICKER: Adam Vinatieri signs a new deal which has to make him happy and of course he has the pelts on the wall from his days back in New England. In fact, Vinatieri may be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame someday. But he is injury plagued, doesn’t have a big leg right now and is creeping towards 40. I don’t think the Colts will score as much as they have in previous years, so Vinatieri is probably a little overrated. ERIK’S CRAZY NOTES: • Peyton Manning has gone over 4,000 yards for 5 years in a row. • Reggie Wayne hasn’t missed a game in 10 years and has 7 straight years of at least 75 catches and more than 1,000 yards. Also, before you say he was in decline last year, he had had a career high in catches last year, (111). • Pierre Garcon scored 5 Tds in his final 5 games. G

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #21 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #30

QB’s: David Garrard accounted for 28 td passes last year (in just 14 games). In the last few years he has been one of the most undervalued commodities in fantasy football. Sure, he threw 15 int’s and yes the Jaguars traded up to take Blaine Gabbert in the draft but fully expect Garrard to be the starter in week 1. Consider Garrard as an average backup. RB’s: Maurice Jones-Drew had six consecutive weeks of at least 100 yards rushing and really helped you out for about a month and a half last year. But, missing the last 2 games of the season with a knee injury is troublesome (so is the offseasons surgery that followed). As you know, if you can’t score td’s, you can’t play on my team and his 5 rushing and 7 total td’s is definitely light. Also the emergence of Rashad Jennings in the redzone makes me nervous as well. In fact, if Maurice Jones-Drew can’t stay healthy, Jennings would be a very nice play. He is also not a bad receiver and averaged 5 catches per game in Jacksonville’s final 3 contests last season. WR’s: Mike Thomas was a guy I liked a lot coming into the year last year but he was mediocre at best. With Mike Sims Walker now part of the St Louis Rams, this could open Thomas up for a better 2011. Clearly not a big guy, I wonder if David Garrard can make a 5’8” WR an elite fantasy player. He just doesn’t look the part, small generally doesn’t make for a good redzone target so when Mike Thomas doesn’t score any td’s, you cannot be surprised. However, he should have better numbers than last year and should lead Jacksonville in targets for a 2nd straight season. TE’s: Marcedes Lewis emerged last season and scored double digit TD’s. He was really utilized in the redzone where they threw it to him 14 times for 7 td’s. He won’t catch 100 balls but will probably catch more than 50 and if your league values td’s, he will probably give you a very solid season. DEFENSE/ST: They are just not good. They don’t sack the QB, they don’t intercept a lot of passes, they don’t force a lot of fumbles and they don’t return a lot of TD passes. Plus, they give up a bunch of points and yards. All of this adds up to the fact that you don’t want Jacksonville as your defense. You probably knew this already, but I felt the need to remind you. KICKER: Josh Scobee is mediocre at best and sometimes can lose his confidence but he has been in Jacksonville a long time, has the job and David Garrard is a better-thanyou-think player which gives Scobee decent opportunities and an okay #2 kicker. Maurice Jones-Drew ERIK’S CRAZY NOTES: • David Garrard accounted for 28 td passes last year, in just 14 games. • Maurice Jones-Drew had six consecutive weeks of at least 100 yards rushing, but missed the last 2 games of the season with a knee injury. • Marcedes Lewis scored double digit TD’s, and has 14 red zone targets for 7 td’s.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #9 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #12

QB’s: If you look up “deceptive first half of the season” you’ll see Matt Cassel smiling and waving back at you. The schedule was putrid, and Cassel got fat and happy. But, at the end of the year when the weather got challenging and the competition got stiffer, he was...well...Matt Cassel. In his final 5 games (including the Playoffs) 5 td’s, 6 int and a completion % of just about 50%. Plus, when you’re scouting fantasy QB’s, you want to know which teams run the football and the Chiefs ran it more often %-wise than any other team in the NFL. The only good news is Cassel certainly has the job and he’s fairly durable. RB’s: Jamaal Charles had almost 1,500 rushing yards last year, caught 45 passes and was a major force for the Chiefs. He was a solid fantasy player if not spectacular. Coming into last season there were a lot of concerns that Thomas Jones would take away his statistics and in fact Jones scored 6 times last year. In 2011 the big concern with Charles is obviously the lack of td’s, having scored only 8 last year. Add in the fact that he won’t have as many touches as the other guys in the top 5 and you have to be a little concerned that Charles will be able to put up the same statistics as the people ahead of him. But he is exciting and led the league in carries of at least 10 yards. In fact almost 20% of his carries were for double digits (that’s insane!). I don’t expect Thomas Jones to have more carries than Charles (like he did last year) and that’s why I’m going to move him up the draft board a bit. Thomas Jones has been in the league for 11 years. That’s a long time for a RB but Jones knows how to find the endzone. I know he only scored six times last year but 14 in 2009 and 15 td’s in 2008 show that he has the ability to find the goal line. Despite only scoring 6 td’s last year, he was in the top 10 in rushing yards in the redzone last season. Plus, he had more carries than Jamal Charles over the Chiefs’ 16 regular season games. The carries will go down (he will not approach anywhere near the 245 he had last season) and he is no threat in the pass games. You’re drafting him because you believe he will score more than 6 td’s and may get you somewhere in the neighborhood of 750 rushing yards. WR’s: Dwayne Bowe had 15 td’s last year. While you reread that sentence and let that stat marinate, keep in mind that was 3 more than anyone else caught. But it wasn’t just the td’s. Bowe showed a better attitude and a better work ethic. So while I don’t expect him to show the kind of dominance he displayed in the first half of 2010, I do expect that Bowe will be a good #2 receiver. But Bowe comes with risk, perhaps the strangest statistic of the year was Bowe not having a target in his playoff game. In fact, we may go another 50 years seeing a player score 15 td’s in the regular season and not having a single target in a playoff game. If he had a better QB, I would rank him a little higher but you know what they say about if, ands or buts and it wasn’t just the playoff game. Bowe has disappeared at times and was held to less than 35 yards in 5 different games. TE’s: There were games where Tony Moeaki showed flashes of being a legitimate fantasy TE but the Chiefs played a putrid schedule for the first half of the year and down the stretch Matt Cassel looked softer than butter left out overnight on the counter. Plus, the Chiefs like to run the rock so you have to wonder if Tony Moeaki will match last year’s 74 targets. Plus, he’d better hope he increases the 3 td’s or else his fantasy value will take an even bigger plunge. DEFENSE/ST: The D-line is abysmal despite the fact that they have some very highly touted names including LSU’s Glenn Dorsey, who has yet to really make an impact but it’s not all bad news. For example, who led the AFC in sacks last year? Tamba Hall with 14.5. Plus, Dexter McCluster and Javier Arenas are very good return people and the Chiefs are clearly a unit that will outperform their draft position. I expect them to increase the int’s and the fumble recoveries and if they can match or exceed last year’s sack total of 38, the Chiefs become and interesting #2 defense. KICKER: Ryan Succup is mediocre as a fantasy kicker, and shouldn’t be drafted except in the deepest of leagues. ERIK’S CRAZY NOTES: • Matt Cassel started fast, but in his final 5 games (including the Playoffs) 5 td’s, 6 int and a completion % of just about 50%. • The Chiefs ran it more often (%-wise) than any other team in the NFL. • Jamal Charles is exciting, but its even more electric than you might think: almost 20% of his carries were for double digit yards.

MIAMI DOLPHINS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #24 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #11

QB’s: Chad Henne was a disappointment last year. It just killed you if you went out on a limb and thought that he was going to bail out your fantasy squad. There was really almost nothing good to say about his 2010 season. Only 15 td passes, 19 picks and barely cracked 3,300 yards. It seems like the coaching staff lost confidence in Henne and he lost confidence in himself, but the Dolphins are going to give Henne another shot. He does have Brandon Marshall and his possession receivers are better than average. The Dolphins D is good and when you add Reggie Bush, the weapons are there for Henne to have the kind of year this year that a lot of people thought he would have in 2010. RB’s: The Miami RB situation is among the most intriguing for fantasy players. Will it be Reggie Bush playing a prominent role in the offense or will he be a 3rd down specialty player? Assuming Bush will not be an every down player - who will run it inside the tackles? The answer may be Daniel Thomas, a rookie RB from Kansas St who is a bruiser (6’ 230 lbs) with deceptive speed. Don’t be shocked if Daniel Thomas has 1,000 yards rushing and scores a half he could be the LaGarrett Blount of 2011. Reggie Bush is in Miami and this is an excellent situation for the former Heisman Trophy winner (well, sort of Heisman Trophy winner). Yes, he’s injury prone (missing almost 40% of his team’s games over the last 2.5 seasons) but he’s still Reggie Bush and can still score any time that the ball is in his hand. The Dolphins don’t have an established RB so Bush’s role could expand beyond what it was in New Orleans. I’m higher on Reggie Bush than most other publications because if he can touch the football close to 200 times, he could be one of the steals in the fantasy draft. Just be advised that he’s a name everyone knows and you probably won’t be able to wait too long before locking him down. WR’s: Brandon Marshall was hurt last year but that didn’t stop him from posting a 4th straight 1,000 yard season. Sure the catches were down, but after a couple of years of over 100 receptions, 86 grabs are nothing to sneeze at. Marshall is a big boy who at 6’4” 230 becomes a nightmare for opposing QB’s. Chad Henne is not exactly the fantasy QB you want throwing to your stud receiver and Marshall will drop the ball now and again. Also, nobody is calling Brandon Marshall the most stable citizen in the South Florida area. However, considering the weird season he had last year, his 2011 is likely to be better. I love the 147 targets and there is no way he will only have 3 receiving td’s in 2011 (assuming he’s healthy). I like Brandon Marshall a little more in ppr leagues but I actually think he’ll be slightly better than projected by most publications. Devone Bess. 125 targets last year is nothing to sneeze at. Neither are 79 receptions. Bess is the possession receiver in Miami and if you are in a ppr league. He has decent value. He also had 9 redzone targets last year which helped him catch 5 td’s. He will continue to share opportunities with Brandon Marshall who I expect to have a better 2011. I also don’t love the QB situation in Miami. Bess is never going to knock your socks off, blow your hair back, or make you giddy as a school girl (you can pick the cliche here) but new OC Brian Daboll is looking to get people like Bess the ball on an island. DEFENSE/ST: Mike Nolan is an excellent defensive coordinator. Under his tutelage the Dolphins have improved across the board. In ten games they gave up less than 300 yards. Most impressively in the second half of the season they went a month and a half without allowing more than 17 points in any game. He would like to see more takeaways (the Dolphins were one of the worst 3 teams in the league in turnover margin). As a next level statistic, the team dropped the most int’s last year and that generally doesn’t happen twice. I think they’ll be better and I’m predicting they will have more int’s, more fumble recoveries and more return TD’s than they did in 2010. KICKER: Dan Carpenter attempted a whopping 41 FG’s last year and made four from over 50 yards. That tied him for the league lead and if you want to give him an extra point or extra credit for the 60 yarder vs Cleveland, then you could say that he was the best long kicker in the NFL last year. Carpenter can be bad at times, was 0-4 vs the Bills late in the year and if you heard his name and swore loudly (because he lost you the Fantasy Football Playoffs), I cannot fault you if you go in another direction this year.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #15 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #17

QB’s: Minnesota has a good OL, a dangerous RB and a tremendous home field advantage where it’s always 72˚ and perfect. All of that does not erase one fact; the QB isn’t great. In fact, you have to wonder if McNabb could play dead in a Cowboy movie. He simply is overrated at this point in his career and learning a new system is not going to be his forté. He barely hit 4,000 yards last year and threw as many int’s as td’s. The days of him being an elite player are not gone - they are long gone; as in you’ve passed it three exits back. Draft someone else. The Vikings drafted Christian Ponder in the first round (#12 overall) out of Florida St and Ponder has serious ability. FSU runs a pro-style offense, Ponder is an accurate kid, he’s got an NFL body and a solid arm. He has been injury prone throughout his college career but with Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin and a very shaky Donovan McNabb as the pencilled in signal caller, playing in a very deep league, taking a flyer on Ponder wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. RB’s: Adrian Peterson is coming into his 5th season, he’s been consistency among madness. He’s been a top 5 RB in each of the last four years. The Minnesota O-line is solid, if not spectacular. Peterson is a man child and should be dispensing justice on defenses throughout the 2011 season. I don’t want to hear about the career low in rushing yards, Peterson was still top 6 in the league in that category. I’m also not all that concerned with either the fumbles or Toby Gerhart. If you have the 1st pick, people will try to talk you out of Adrian Peterson, but the 1,400 rushing yards and double digit td’s will keep you fat and happy. Draft AP #1. WR’s: Percy Harvin - sure he doesn’t have Brett Favre anymore and sure I’m not high on Donovan McNabb, but Percy Harvin makes plays. Plus, he’s in his 3rd year which as we say (at nauseam) is often a break out year for WR’s. Head coach Leslie Frazier says he will make a commitment to getting Harvin involved in the offense. One concern is the migraine headaches. As a migraine headache sufferer myself, I can empathize. If you’ve never had one, there is no way anyone can explain it to you. If you have one, right now you just got a little pain in your heart knowing what Percy battles on a regular basis. You’ll also likely get an extra td on special teams with Harvin but the 70 catches, 900 yards, half dozen td’s is probably what you can expect. TE’s: You knew Visanthe Shiancoe would not have the same in 2010 that he had in 2009 but you had to wonder if it was going to drop as much as it did. Only 2 td’s last year, less than 50 catches - barely 500 yards. He’ll be better than that but shouldn’t start. If you are looking for a true flyer, how about Kyle Rudolph - the kid can ball. Now you have to wonder how he fits in with Shiancoe but I do think Rudolph could be a nice surprise at TE and if they throw to him near the endzone, could get up to 6 or 7 td’s in a best case scenario. DEFENSE/ST: The Vikings were a major disappointment in 2010. Whether it was the record, the QB or the fantasy defense - it was ugly early and didn’t get much better. They were not good in the redzone, they were not good against the pass and in fact, even the vaunted run defense was pretty ordinary. They do have a new defensive coordinator and with the lockout the scheme may take some time to learn. But if nobody is looking, and the Vikings are still on the board, and you’re looking for a second defense you could do worse. KICKER: Ryan Longwell was almost perfect last year, missed just one kick but he doesn’t kick many FG’s. Now with uncertainty at the QB position (I don’t consider Donovan McNabb certain) Longwell should be okay but don’t expect miracles. ERIK’S CRAZY NOTES: • Adrian Peterson has been a top 5 RB in each of the last four years. And despite the career low in rushing yards, Peterson was still top 6 in the league in that category.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #1 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #10

QB’s: Tom Brady was unconscious last year winning the league MVP. He only had 5 total turnovers (say that one out loud again and tell me you aren’t terrifically impressed). Plus, he had 37 combined td’s. Losing Randy Moss, adding Deion Branch, it didn’t matter - Brady was money. He spreads the ball around as well as anybody. You can be happy going to bed draft night knowing Tom Brady is your QB. Plus, the Patriots have just added Chad Ochocinco who didn’t have a great year last year but has had seven 1,000 yard receiving seasons in his career, leading the league back in 2006. You’ll note, Brady did not have anybody who posted 1,000 yard seasons last year so that should help. My concern with Brady is inconsistency. He has less than 200 yards passing in 6 different games last year. RB’s: Everyone has been wondering when a New England RB will rise up, take the job and become an elite fantasy player. New England scores plenty of points and has way more rushing td’s than you’d think over the last 5 seasons (look it up). BenJarvus Green-Ellis (aka the law firm) has an opportunity to be that guy. Amazingly Green-Ellis scored 13 td’s last year scoring in 10 different games last year (even more impressive considering he only started 11). Green-Ellis doesn’t catch many passes so he’s likely to hurt you in ppr leagues but don’t underestimate the guy who started 5th on the Patriot depth chart last season. Ultimately he became New England’s first 1,000 yard rusher since 2004 (say that sentence out loud again). He also led the league in rushing yards in the redzone and a stat that will make Bill Belichick smile, he’s never fumbled in his professional career. Of course, this is New England and who knows what Belichick will do to further torment fantasy owners. In fact despite all of the praise for Green-Ellis he did have 4 games where he was the starter and finished with less than 40 yards rushing. Hey, it’s New England and that means uncertainty at the RB position but Danny Woodhead found a way to score 6 td’s last year and if you add BenJarvus Green-Ellis’ 13, that means New England RB’s will be somewhere around the 20 td range (which has been pretty much the norm for several years). Woodhead is electric, almost like the RB version of Wes Welker and averaged more than 5.5 ypc. New England did draft a pair of RB’s but if Green-Ellis falls out of favor or is inconsistent, Woodhead could be a decent sleeper. Consider him Kevin Faulk-light. WR’s: Are you in a ppr league? It’s the first question I ask whenever someone mentions the words Wes Welker. The man is a catch machine and if you are in a ppr league, he goes significantly higher. Despite the fact that I’ve been recommending that ppr be standard in all formats, only about a third of all leagues have points per reception. Obviously Wes Welker has been bitten by the injury bug. Actually, let’s face it, he’s been bitten, gnawed on, chewed and gashed by the injury bug. Also, and perhaps not unrelated, Welker led the NFL in dropped passes last season. Chad Ochocinco is now on the Patriots. Wow. What does this mean? Could he be Randy Moss who came to New England and lit it up or is he simply more mouth than production at 33 (he’ll be 34 in January)? The numbers dropped off last season, but when he plays 16 games (which he’s done in 7 of 10 NFL seasons) he’s productive every time and you know the deal with Chad, every once in a while he’ll give you a huge game. The other side of the huge game coin is that he will often disappear. You can see that twice last year he went a quarter of the season giving you virtually no fantasy production. I do expect the catches, yards and td’s to all rise in New England and I’m recommending him more highly than other publications. Deion Branch began the year in Seattle and ended up back at his old stomping grounds where he was once a Super Bowl MVP and clearly he liked being back in Massachusetts. We know that Tom Brady likes a bunch of different receivers including Branch. I expect Branch to put up similar numbers as he did in 2010 which makes him draftable in deep leagues. TE’s: We wonder how the New England TE position is going to shake out with Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez both coming into their second season. Rob Gronkowski aka “The Gronk” emerged in the second half of the season (scoring seven 2nd half td’s and 10 for the season). I know he’s 6’6” and a big target near the goal line but I just don’t expect the td’s to be there again. I will not rank him as highly as a lot of the other publications. Aaron Hernandez has all the traits you want in a pass catching TE. Good hands, good speed, smart player but with Rob Gronkowski playing the same position, it’s hard to look into the crystal ball and see Aaron Hernandez will be an elite player. What I liked is that he caught 45 passes on only 64 targets which means when they throw into his direction, he comes down with the rock. DEFENSE/ST: The Patriots had 8 return TD’s last year, that will not happen again so right there a lot of their fantasy production will decline. But they have added Albert Haynesworth and when you pit him with Vince Wolfork, it is not going to be fun to play against the New England defensive line. The Patriots also had 25 int’s last year which seems a bit high and probably won’t get matched again. They’re still a little overrated but still a viable #1 defense. KICKER: Steve Gostkowski is accurate and in the last 3 years has only missed 4, 5 and 3 FG’s respectively. Now he did have a thigh injury which limited him to a half a season, but if you are the New England kicker, you have value.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #3 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #5

QB’s: Drew Brees finished with the 2nd highest yardage passing total of his career and was 1 td pass away from a career high in that category. You can book him for 4,300 yards and over 30 td passes. The 22 int’s are alarming (he threw at least 1 int in each of the last 12 games) but based upon how your league scores, the knock on him for the int’s varies. But at 32 he’s in his prime, he’s a stud, feel free to draft away. RB’s: Mark Ingram walks into an excellent situation. The Saints really wanted him trading up (in fact giving up their 2012 1st round pick) to land the former Heisman Trophy winner. Expect Ingram to handle a sizeable portion of the workload and with Reggie Bush now in Miami, Ingram should be in line for a very nice season. The backfield is crowded, Darren Sproles will be Reggie Bush-light, and Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory have some ability. But Mark Ingram is an intriguing player with nice upside that could be one of the fantasy surprises of 2011, and if he becomes the goal line back, could find himself between 8 and 10 td’s. Pierre Thomas “American Pete” was someone that a lot of folks loved coming into the 2010 season (and I was certainly one of them) but an ankle injury derailed his train. That being said, Thomas was instrumental in the Saints Super Bowl victory in 2009 and he is part of the pass game catching an average of 5 balls per game last season. Amazingly Thomas caught EVERY SINGLE PASS THROWN HIS WAY LAST SEASON. This makes him a more attractive option in ppr leagues. WR’s: If nothing else, Marques Colston has been consistent, 70 grabs, 1000 yards, 7 td’s minimum in four of his first five years of the league. He’s the Saints’ best receiver and most frequent target for Drew Brees. On the down side, Colston has undergone 5 knee surgeries since entering the NFL (reread that sentence and say it out loud again). Plus the Saints mantra is to get a lot of different guys involved. Lance Moore is a “better than you’d think” guy. He scored 8 td’s last year and the receptions and yards weren’t exactly abysmal. He’s also had a season where he scored 10 td’s. The reason why? Drew Brees liked Lance Moore in the redzone. But Lance Moore probably isn’t going to start many games for Sean Payton and with Moore only gaining more than 100 yards 1 time in his last 28 games, it’s hard to recommend him highly, especially if he’s not going to be a guaranteed td guy. TE’s: This is an “I like Drew Brees” ranking as much as it’s an “I like Jimmy Graham” ranking. The kid’s an athlete. A former hoop player at the University of Miami, Graham, who decided to try football very late in his college career. It is a little disturbing that he didn’t catch a single pass in the team’s playoff loss to the Seahawks but with Jeremy Shockey now a member of the Carolina Panthers, the road is paved for Graham to pick up a lot of Brees’ targets. I like Graham as a low end #1/high end #2 TE. DEFENSE/ST: The Saints had less than 10 int’s last year. That’s not going to happen again so they’ll get more points there. Plus, they only had 2 return td’s and while I know they lost Reggie Bush, they are still a light compared to the league average. The 33 sacks seems about right and 16 int’s is going to be pretty close as well. The best news is only 6 teams gave up fewer points than the Saints last season and Gregg Williams is a really good defensive coordinator. I like adding Shaun Rogers to the D-line and I think this team will be a borderline starter in all formats. KICKER: Garrett Hartley has a big leg and should get a lot of opportunities in New Orleans. I like him more than most, and I think New Orleans will kick some FG’s. Plus, he kicks in a dome which generally gives him favorable conditions. I think Garrett Harley is a better option than most.

NEW YORK GIANTS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #6 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #6

QB’s: When you think durability, you think of Manning - usually it’s Peyton Manning, but it also applies to Eli Manning who has started 103 straight games. He’s also consistent generating almost identical stats over the last 2 years (at least in terms of fantasy points). The int’s were crazy high last year (25) but if you are a Giants fan I can hear you now yelling “Come on Erik - at least 6 of them were not his fault”. I also like that Eli now has an out player and Mario Manningham is underrated. You have to wonder if the OL will look the same, feel the same or play the same but Eli Manning plays, plays well and can help you out if you get stuck looking for a starting QB. RB’s: Ahmad Bradshaw had more than 1,200 yards rushing, scored 9 td’s and caught almost 50 passes. Probably a “better than you think” season. Most importantly he was fairly healthy throughout the 2010 season. Also, he has clearly supplanted Brandon Jacobs as the guy in the Meadowlands and had 129 more carries than the human UPS truck. My concern with Bradshaw is still durability but I like his nose for the goal line. He scored 5 times inside the 5. At the end of the day, Ahmad Bradshaw has a lot of physical gifts, is on a pretty good team and was top 3 in the NFL last year in rushing yards in the redzone. Brandon Jacobs did have back-to-back 100 yard rushing games in Wk 13 & 14 and finished with the best career rushing average but despite his size he’s been td challenged at the goal line and did not reach 15 carries in any game last year. Plus, he had less than 20 yards rushing in a quarter of his games and is not considered any threat in the pass game. Unless he is going to be a Michael Turner type who is the featured back and can find his way into the endzone, Jacobs does not have much value. WR’s: It’s pretty impressive that Hakeem Nicks had 128 targets, almost 80 catches, over 1,000 yards and 11 td’s despite missing 3 games. In 13 games he had 15 redzone targets, 7 of which went for scores. The 10 targets he averaged per game make him an elite fantasy receiver. Plus I like the fact that Nicks finds the endzone scoring 17 td’s in 27 career games. I realize that some of those have come in bunches but they still count. If Nicks stays healthy, he’ll be dangerous. Mario Manningham is not a big guy, did not have a awful lot of targets, barley broke 60 receptions, had less than 1,000 yards but he found his way into the endzone and did so on big plays. All but one of his receiving td’s outside were 25 yards and 3 of his scores were from 50 or more. Still, with Steve Smith up in the air and Hakeem Nicks likely to be healthier on the other side, the receptions and yards should be in the same ballpark but the td’s should go down. I’m probably not as high on Manningham as some of the other folks. TE’s: Kevin Boss’ departure to Oakland means that Travis Beckum will handle the load unless the Giants use FA to bring in a veteran. The TE’s combined for 87 targets and 7 td’s making them a unit worthy of looking at. DEFENSE/ST: Who had the most takeaways in the NFL last season? That’s right, the Giants. Twenty-three fumbles recovered is a number that Malcolm Gladwell would call “an outliar”. I don’t expect the Giants to match that number again. The 46 sacks were also among the league leaders but some of those were racked up in a few games that took a turn for the strange. The Giants did not have any return TD’s last season and will probably have a few which will bolster their points. I think the Giants are a borderline #1 defense. KICKER: Lawrence Tynes had 100 points last year and kicked for an offense that’s probably a little better than they get credit for but he has missed some short ones and if that burns you in your league, you probably want to look elsewhere.

NEW YORK JETS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #12 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #7

QB’s: Mark Sanchez has a good smile and is a good fit in New York, but he should be on someone else’s fantasy team. Sure the Jets threw the ball more often last year but Sanchez has never thrown for 20 td passes in any season and has been in double digits with his int’s in every season. Also, I just don’t like guys who over the course of their career have an under 55% completion % and you know Rex Ryan likes to run the ball. Despite getting Santonio Holmes back and adding Plaxico Buress (which is probably a bigger deal than most people will acknowledge), it’s still not enough for me to recommend Sanchez. RB’s: Shonn Greene was a highly touted player coming into 2010 and went in the 1st round of several drafts. But LaDainian Tomlinson made a significant impact and that was bad news for Shonn Greene owners. LT is still in the mix in New York but expect Greene to wrestle away the job and log the majority of carries. The ultimate question a fantasy owner would like to ask Rex Ryan is “Who is getting the rock at the goal line?” If last year is any indication the answer won’t be what Shonn Greene owners want to hear. In 2010 LaDainian Tomlinson had 11 carries inside the 5 while Greene logged only 3. It’s almost unfathomable to think that Shonn Greene will score only 2 td’s for a third straight season but until he is established as the go-to guy in the redzone, it will be tough for Greene to become an elite fantasy RB. WR’s: Santonio Holmes missed the first 4 games last year for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy but when he returned he clearly had Mark Sanchez’s eye. Holmes is simply a very good player despite what he may be off the field. The problem is Holmes doesn’t score a lot of td’s, having 6 or less in every one of his NFL seasons except one and he’s never had more than 8 in any year. You know what I say, if you don’t score td’s, you can’t play on my team and when it starts to become an every year thing with a smaller receiver, it’s not an accident. Plus, now that they’ve signed Plaxico Burris, it seems as though there may be even less redzone opportunities for Holmes. On a positive note, the catches and yardage have nowhere to go but up. Yes, I know Plaxico Burris shot himself in the leg with a gun and yes, I’m still wondering how this all happened, and yes it is baffling why anyone would wear sweatpants to the club, but after missing just over 2 seasons as a guest of the “gray bar hotel”, Burris seems to have found himself a pretty good situation in New York. He never really relied on vertical speed so if he’s lost a step, it won’t hurt him much. And Burris can play. Go pull out the tape of the Giants NFC Championship game against Green Bay; Burris was clearly the best player on the field and abused the Green Bay cornerbacks. He should be a welcomed addition for Mark Sanchez and could have a nice, solid, resurgent year. Derrick Mason - Old Man River. Mason has 14 NFL seasons in the books and he’s basically been injury proof for a decade. As a result, he has over 60 catches in every season this millennium. Once again, he should be the starter and once again he will produce solid but not spectacular numbers. If pressed, I would say Mason’s numbers will decline by probably 10% across the board as a Jet. TE’s: Dustin Keller has had some very big games and at other times seemed to be doing a Claude Rains a.k.a. The Invisible Man. In fact all 5 of his td’s came in the season’s first 4 weeks. He didn’t have more than 4 receptions in any game between Wk 4 and Wk 15. With the resigning of Santonio Holmes, the receiving corps becomes even more crowded. Dustin Keller is somebody who should be on the other guys team until further. DEFENSE/ST: Only one team had a completion % higher than 60% vs the NYJ last year and in almost half of their games, they allowed 14 or less points but it still wasn’t as good as the 2009 campaign, perhaps because of the hold out of Darrelle Revis. The Jets are completely solid across the board and are top 5 in any format. KICKER: Nick Folk missed 9 FG’s last year but the good news is that he was top 5 in scoring, he’s an average kicker on an above average team. ERIK’S CRAZY NOTES: • Santonio Holmes doesn’t score much, and has 6 TDs or less in every one of his NFL seasons except one and he’s never had more than 8 in any year. • All 5 of Dustin Kellher’s td’s came in the season’s first 4 weeks, and he didn’t have more than 4 receptions in any game between Wk 4 and Wk 15. Why would you draft him? • Only one team had a completion % higher than 60% vs the NYJ last year and in almost half of their games, they allowed 14 points or less. G

QB’s: Jason Campbell and Tom Cable never saw eye-to-eye so when the team replaced Cable, Jason Campbell probably jumped for joy, especially because the new coach, Hue Jackson seems to love Campbell. Then, Campbell seemed to get in a groove down the stretch completing 65% of his passes in the last 5 games despite being injured. You can knock Campbell, citing that basically his entire career, he’s had only one season with 13 td passes but with some stability, Campbell should be okay and depending upon a matchup could be a good bye week replacement. RB’s: I really hope someday they rename “turf toe”. It just doesn’t sound like it’s all that serious. But ask anybody who has ever had it and its basically like someone lit your Sergeant Hulka on fire. In addition to battling turf toe, Darren McFadden has also struggled with knee injuries. But last year you saw serious flashes of what he can be. McFadden is a homerun hitter and led the league in rushes of over 20 yards. Plus he was versatile catching 47 passes for more than 500 yards out of the backfield. Sure, you probably can’t count on him for 16 games, and Michael Bush is waiting in the wings, but McFadden is probably going to be good value on the board. I’m thinking 1,200 yards rushing, 50 catches and 7 or 8 td’s. Speaking of Michael Bush, it will be interesting to see if Bush can press Darren McFadden for playing time. Bush is pretty good near the goal line and scored 6 td’s inside the opponents 5 yard line. If I drafted McFadden I would make sure that Michael Bush ended up on my roster as well. WR’s/TE’s: Zach Miller moved to Seattle. So should your interest in a Raider TE. DEFENSE/ST: The Raiders had 47 sacks last year and 6 return TD’s. I predict they don’t match either of those totals so unless they are going to intercept more passes (without Nnamdi Asomugha) or get lucky and recover and additional 10 fumbles, the Raider defense should be less viable than they were last year. They are going to be a little overrated, feel free to let somebody else make that mistake. KICKER: Sebastian Janikowski can kick it a country mile. The big polish kid who went to Florida St was a 1st round pick and years later is still the kicker in Oakland. The mammoth flag will mean he will always have a few more 50 yarders than some of the other kickers so if your league Darren McFadden values distance, Janikowski’s stock goes up. He’s not terribly accurate and did miss 8 FG’s last year. ERIK’S CRAZY NOTES: • Jason Campbell has had only one season with 13 td passes. • Darren McFadden led the league in rushes of over 20 yards, but Michael Bush scored 6 td’s inside the opponents 5 yard line.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #7 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #9

QB’s: Michael Vick accounted for 30 td’s in 12 games, 9 of those TD’s were rushing but be careful, he’s not going to be durable. I’m also concerned about the number of hits that he will take plus, it looks like he can be figured out. Also, his rate of over 9 sacks per 100 attempts was top 5 and that’s not the top 5 you want to be in. But, before you think that Vick can’t throw the football, his lowest passing yardage total in any complete game he played was 218 - very respectable. I’m not as big of a Vick fans as most publications and he will probably not be on any of my teams. RB’s: If you had LeSean McCoy in a keeper league, you were probably sweating like a “lady of the evening in church” at the thought of Reggie Bush ending up with the Eagles. Bush ended up in Miami and McCoy stays as the primary RB in Philadelphia. The Eagles did add Ronnie Brown, and that hurts McCoy somewhat. Plus, you know Philadelphia doesn’t like to run the football. But despite being knocked for his performance last year by many, McCoy was a top 10 RB in 2010. He was 4th in the league last year in yards from scrimmage and did it on an amazingly low 207 carries. The 78 pass receptions help and if you are in a ppr format, McCoy becomes more valuable. Consider his 90 targets were the most of any RB in the NFL. Consider him a poor man’s Brian Westbrook who won’t score many td’s, maybe that makes him a poor man’s Jamal Charles. WR’s: DeSean Jackson is not a big guy and has missed games each of the last 2 years. If you are in a ppr league, you have to downgrade DeSean Jackson significantly as he caught less than 50 balls. Plus he’s not exactly a td machine having never reached double digit td’s and scoring only 6 last year. He’ll always be a little overrated because some players in your league want to have a guy who demonstrates an electric ability and he’ll probably get you an additional td with a PR like he did last year. I have a saying: People who like fantasy, love DeSean Jackson but people who love fantasy football only like DeSean Jackson. Jeremy Maclin can fly. We all knew that when he came out of Missouri. He now enters his 3rd year which is traditionally the year WR’s make a leap, but when Michael Vick is your QB and DeSean Jackson is on the other side of the field, you’re not sure what you’re getting in to. Add in the fact that the RB behind Vick will catch a significant number of passes and you have to wonder if that 70 receptions Maclin had last year can improve significantly. Maclin did have 10 td’s last year and I think plays very comfortably as a #2 receiver on your team. Also the fact that Brent Celek becomes a nonfactor with Micheal Vick entrenched at QB means more opportunities for Maclin. TE’s: Brent Celek probably won’t send Michael Vick a Christmas card. It probably had nothing to do with the dog fighting or giving the fans the finger or having trouble at the airport with a suspicious water bottle, it was probably due to the fact that Vick treated him like he had the bubonic plague on the field. Celek was one of the huge fantasy busts of 2010 after being one of the huge fantasy surprises in 2009. Celek only scored 4 td’s last year and only 2 came from Vick. Plus, both came from over 30 yards, so when Vick gets close to the endzone, he doesn’t know Brent Celek is alive and as Vick is now the man in Philadelphia, Brent Celek is probably not going to be putting up huge numbers any time soon. Add in the fact Celek ties for the league lead among TE’s in dropped passes and you can look elsewhere. DEFENSE/ST: The Eagles were in the top 5 in creating turnovers last year. I wonder if they can do that again. I think this is an overvalued club that will go higher than they should. In fact, some people have put them in the top 10, not me. KICKER: Alex Henery is the most accurate kicker in NCAA history and a Michael Vick-led offense will invariably have some stalls in the redzone. Being a bad weather, young kicker means I cannot put him among the elite but having the Eagles’ kicker isn’t the worst thing in the world.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #10 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #1

QB’s: Ben Roethlisberger started the year on a 4 game suspension and we weren’t sure what to expect. His td rate was not great, but he didn’t turn the ball over much either. The OL is probably not as good as its reputation, and Pittsburgh likes to run the ball. Roethlisberger cannot be considered an elite fantasy QB but he is a solid option. Consider him low end #1. RB’s: Yeah, Rashard Mendenhall should stay away from Twitter and certainly is not going to win any popularity contests among patriots (New England or otherwise) but we have to remain professional. This is about fantasy football production, not about dumb tweets. On the down side, he had only three 100 yard games last year and averaged less than 4 yards per carry. Plus he’s not going to catch many passes. Also the Steeler Oline is probably more reputation than ability at this point in time. But, the 13 rushing td’s is nothing to sneeze at, that total placed him 2nd in the NFL. Plus even though the O-line is probably a little overrated, they do like to run the football and you can probably book Mendenhall for a similar number of carries as he had last year. I also like that he was one of the top 5 RB’s called upon in the redzone. Some may be concerned by the fact that Mendenhall did not have at least 20 catches in any of the Steelers last 5 games and that some of his stats may have been skewed by the fact that Roethlisberger sat the first four games but you can count on Mendenhall to see plenty of action. Fumbling is a bit of an issue as well but at the end of the day, this is Mendenhall’s job and the td’s should be there again. WR’s: If you are in a ppr league, you probably don’t care all that much about what Mike Wallace did last year, but the yardage was impressive and the td’s were in double digits making him a bona fide #1 receiver. Now he’ll have Roethlisberger available from the start of the season and is entering into his 3rd year (traditionally a breakout year at the WR position). The kid can fly and led the league with 10 catches of 40 yards or more last season. Hines Ward is still the possession guy and Pittsburgh does like to run the rock so you have to wonder if Wallace will ever hit the 80 catch mark. The receptions went way down for Hines Ward. From 95 in 2009 to less than 60 last season. The yards also plummeted as well, and Ward finished with less than 800 yards receiving. There was even talk he might retire but Ward still is a Pro’s pro and Roethlisberger (who will not be suspended for the first 4 games as he was last year) understands Ward’s value. I would be more worried about Hines Ward if Plaxico Burris had resigned in Pittsburghbut with Burris going to the Jets I think Hines Ward has a slightly better year than last year. TE’s: If you look up heady players in the dictionary, Heath Miller is one of the guys listed. He’s a good option for Ben Roethlisberger and bails him out on occasion. Now while his 2010 was not nearly as good as his 2009 campaign, I think Miller will improve across the board slightly, especially on his td total but he’s still a backup at best. DEFENSE/ST: They are the consensus #1 defense, but when it comes to defenses, consensus hasn’t meant much. In fact, the #1 defense has rarely preformed in the top half dozen. Still, that being said, Pittsburgh is your best bet on the board. Great players, great scheme, and Hall of Fame defensive coordinator. Pittsburgh held five opponents to single digit points last year and they should be the first D of the board. KICKERS: I hate the stadium for kickers, and it’s cold. I’m not high on the Steelers kicking game.

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #5 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #2

QB’s: Quick - which NFL QB played most of last season without his best WR and lost his all-pro TE for the last month of the ssn and still threw for over 4,700 yds and for 30 td’s? Well, because this sentence is written here, you probably figured out who it is. But it wasn’t just last year. Philip Rivers has thrown at least 28 td passes for 3 straight years and is exceptionally efficient with the football. He throws an excellent deep ball and a quality intermediate ball. He should be excellent value once again. RB’s: Ryan Mathews crippled an awful lot of fantasy teams last year and like Fredo he may be “dead to you”. But don’t carry grudges, past performance is no indication of future performance in case of guys like Mathews. He’s still on a very good team, has a lot of ability and when healthy, showed glimpses of what we all thought he might be coming into last season. In the Chargers final 2 games, Mathews had 222 yards and scored 4 times. This is a big boy that can punish some defenses and ultimately I expect him to win the job away from the likes of Mike Tolbert. There is also a concern that Mathews will give up the rock, fumbling 5 times last year but ultimately I think Mathews will be fairly good value and has an excellent chance to rush for more than 1,000 yards and score 8 to 10 td’s. When you score more than 10 td’s you have my attention and Mike Tolbert’s 11 last year was a very nice surprise. While everyone was waiting for Ryan Mathews to emerge, Tolbert just kept finding the endzone. He’s not tall, but he is wide and his frame makes defenders feel like they’re tackling a dorm room fridge with feet. Once again I expect Tolbert to be hovering around the double digit mark which gives him value. I do think he will log less than the 182 carries he had last year and will also catch less than the 25 passes he grabbed in 2010. WR’s: Last season was lost for Vincent Jackson. A contract dispute sank his 2010, but it wasn’t all bad. In just 5 games he scored 3 TD’s. Now I understand the 3 td’s were scored in a single game but the fact is that Vincent Jackson has elite ability, an elite QB, good weather and a division that will have some shootouts. I know he’s never caught 70 passes in a season and has never had double digit td’s, but if he eclipse both of those marks this year for the first time, nobody would be surprised. A 6’5” 235, he is a force and will become Philip Rivers main WR target once again. I believe in Vincent Jackson as a bona fide #1 fantasy receiver. Philip Rivers TE’s: TE Antonio Gates was a per-game beast in 2010 and was on pace to shatter his career high in td’s. He was doing this all with an injury to his left big toe. Then at the midway point of the season, he tore the planter fascia in his right foot, and battled through a couple of more games before shutting it down for the season. You have to wonder about his health but before last year, he had never missed more than one game in any season. Gates is elite. DEFENSE/ST: Who was the top ranked defense in the NFL last year? Yep, you guessed it - the Chargers. They did lose their defensive coordinator Ron Rivera (who took the head coaching job in Carolina) and that always scares me a little. Plus, I think they over performed a bit last year. I’ll knock them down significantly to around the 10 spot and their 47 sacks should decrease. KICKER: Nate Kaeding was generally considered the #1 kicker coming into the season last year and he disappointed tremendously. He was 23-28 on FG’s and made only 1 over 50 yards. He ranked 14th in the league in scoring last season but that’s not terrible considering he missed 3 games with a groin injury. Good bounce back candidate and somebody you should draft in the last round if he’s on the board.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #18 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #21

QB’s: I know, I know Alex Smith was a former #1 overall pick out of Utah and has been a bust as a pro QB. I know he’s injured, not confident, inaccurate and doesn’t strike you as a take charge kind of guy. That being said, the new coaching staff in San Francisco brought him back and they’ve handed him the keys to the franchise car. Plus, Alex Smith knows Vernon Davis and finds ways for him to get the ball. They added Braylon Edwards and Michael Crabtree should be ready to have a better year as well so with the weapons and the new coach in a division that’s not going to leave you quaken’ in your boots, Alex Smith will be better than you think. The backup is Colin Kaepernick. In college at Nevada, Kaepernick would routinely run for 1,000 yards and pass for a boatload as well but this ain’t college. This is the NFL which, as Jerry Glanville said, stands for “not for long” if you can’t figure out how to stay healthy and not get hit. I think Kaepernick will play at some point in time during the season but I’m not optimistic that he’s going to be a difference maker for your fantasy team. RB’s: Frank Gore is very unhappy with his contract. I’m unhappy with his lack of td’s and rushing yards last season. I’m also unhappy that he almost has no chance to play a full season. The fact that he’s coming off a fractured hip doesn’t keep me warm and toasty at night either. But when he plays and is healthy, he puts up a ton of yards, has a really good ypc and is part of the pass game as well. The new regime is also a bit of a question mark but Frank Gore should continue to accumulate serious yards from scrimmage and he may have one year left where he stays healthy and puts up monster numbers. WR’s: Michael Crabtree has been well, crabby (yeah, I didn’t feel good about that one either). He was a holdout, had a reputation as a surly, sullen kid and last year dropped the football and caught just over 50% of the balls thrown his way (which is sort of putrid). Add in that his QB situation hasn’t really improved and you have to wonder why people are high on him but you cannot deny the fact that Crabtree has ability, is coming into his 3rd year and if you watched him play at Texas Tech, your mouth is salivating Michael Crabtree like you’ve just been told you got a free chocolate souffles. SF also signed Braylon Edwards to a 1 year 3.5 million dollar deal. Edwards showed better hands last year, is an excellent blocker and will play. Nice sleeper here. TE’s: In 2009 Vernon Davis was an elite fantasy TE. Almost 80 catches, almost 1,000 yards and 13 td’s. Last season you expected that he would come back down to earth and he did, catching 22 less passes and 6 less td’s but he is reliable and will probably be slightly better than last year. DEFENSE/ST: The 49ers were the sleeper defense last year and people thought they were really going to rise under the leadership of Patrick Willis. Yeah, not so much. Only 15 int’s, 7 forced fumbles and a very pedestrian 36 sacks made the 49ers one of the fantasy disappointments of 2010. They are good value as a #2 defense because now they will be so underrated coming off what they did in a disappointing last season. KICKER: The SF kicking game isn’t going to be elite, there are better options.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #31 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #32

QB’s: Seattle wanted him, landed him and Tarvaris Jackson should not be completely dismissed. He did lead the Vikings to double digit wins before you-know-who showed up in Minnesota to claim the Vikings starting QB job the last 2 seasons. Plus he’s got some familiarity as the Vikings also lost Sidney Rice to the Pacific Northwest. RB’s: Marshawn Lynch played with 2 different teams last year but whether is was Buffalo or Seattle, the weather was not great and neither was the ypc. Throw in the fact that both O-lines are downright offensive, and Lynch was simply average. But, in 2011, Seattle has made a commitment to their O-line both through the draft and through free agency so Lynch should be better. Plus, having a full offseason to be with the Seahawks can’t hurt and I expect Lynch will ultimately have the job. This is not horrible value if you can get Lynch as your 3rd RB. He’s had some moments including 131 yards and a td in the playoff win over the Saints (including a 67 yard td run that may have been the best rush in recent memory). WR’s: Last year at this time the words Sidney Rice and hip were...well joined at the hip. Rice had been money in 2009 and fantasy folks were hoping that once he came back, he could be the jump start that would win them the title in the second half. But his season never really got off the ground and he only had 17 receptions. Now he’s out of Minnesota as are Jackson and former Vikings OC Darrell Bevell. Rice still has the kind of size you want in a receiver but I don’t like his QB situation and I’m still not convinced he’s 100%. Take a wait and see attitude when it comes to Sidney Rice. Mike Williams is another guy who I ask “Do you play in a ppr league?” Williams showed up last year in shape, resurrected his career, and was a frequent target for Matt Hasselbeck. But Hasselbeck is no longer in Seattle and Williams has to deal with Sidney Rice staring back at him in the huddle. Add in the fact that BMW isn’t exactly the healthiest WR on the planet and you have to wonder if he’ll be able to match last year’s per game numbers. I wonder if he can catch double digit passes 3 different times as he did in the first 9 games of the season. TE’s: John Carlson only had 1 td last year and had 3 catches or less in every game from Halloween on so Seattle signed Zach Miller. Zach Miller makes me scratch my head a little. I’m waiting for the crazy big year because he has crazy big ability. Now his last 2 seasons haven’t been bad, averaging 63 catches, 4 td’s and around 750 yards but considering his ability, Miller should probably be even better. DEFENSE/ST: The Seahawks play in a very loud building and have incredible fans (I don’t even try to get in the middle of the debate of who has the real 12th man, Seattle or Texas A&M). Too bad none of those fans can tackle. Seattle gives up a bunch of yards, and they allowed more than 400 points last year, which is just too many especially considering the division they play in. I expect them to preform almost about where they did last season which makes them a below average fantasy defense. KICKER: ”Brandon Coutu is not your kicker.” Use. Rinse. Repeat. Marshawn Lynch

ST LOUIS RAMS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #22 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #22

QB’s: I know it’s been a while since we’ve played football but were the Rams good or bad last year? Bad, right? Wrong. They made the playoffs after being perennial doormats for about the last decade or so and a huge reason was Sam Bradford. Believe it or not, Bradford was in the top 3 in NFL in pass attempts, chucking it 590 times. This completion % was a rookie defying 60% but the yardage (under 3,900 yards) suggests that if he was a Harry Potter character he’d be “Samuel Bradford Lord of the Check down”. Still, Bradford is a star on the rise despite an OL that is mediocre at best. RB’s: For the 2nd time in his career, Steven Jackson started all 16 games and in fact, has only missed one game in the last 2 years. Perhaps no other RB is more featured in his offense. He’s also a big, physical, pounding runner and has a streak of 6 consecutive 1,000 yard rushing seasons. The concerns are obvious. He’s got almost no chance to score double digit td’s. In fact, when the Rams improved last year, his td’s virtually stayed the same. He had averaged six over the previous 2 seasons and put up six in 2010. Jackson will be part of the pass game to some degree, you can expect him to catch somewhere between 40 and 50 balls. If you told me that Steven Jackson could squeeze out 8 to 10 td’s, I would put him a little higher on the board. He averaged less than 4 yards a carry last year and seems to be a very old 28. He is solid, but I don’t expect spectacular again. Cadillac Williams was added, but is almost a non-factor. He is a handcuff for Jackson. WR’s: Mike Sims-Walker had 2 big games last year and a bunch of games where he was AWOL. It will be interesting to see how Josh McDaniels decided to use the former #1 guy in Jacksonville. Sims-Walker says that he will be a model citizen and show up in excellent shape but whether or not he can become a durable, productive team leader is needs to be seen. The only thing to really like about Sims-Walker is that he has scored 7 td’s in each of his last 2 years, and even that isn’t earth shattering. DEFENSE/ST: No return TD’s but they did have 43 sacks last year and in one of my favorite defensive statistics of the season, the Rams only allowed 7 rushing TD’s in 2010 after allowing FIFTY (that’s right, 50!) the previous two years. They also had 18 more sacks last year so clearly this is a defense on the rise. I don’t think they will continue to improve at this rate but they will be better, they are a #2 fantasy D. KICKER: Josh Brown has always had a big leg and had a career high in FG’s last year but he did miss 6 and you have to wonder if the Rams will have to come back down to Earth having a little Sam Bradford sophomore slump. I think Brown is a little overvalued because everybody Steven Jackson gives him the extra boost for playing in the dome as well.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #16 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #24

QB’s: When you look at Josh Freeman’s 2010 stats, you say, “Really? That kid did that?” He sure did hitting 25 td’s, against only 6 int. The yardage wasn’t awesome (less than 3500 yards passing) but that’s going to go up this year. Plus, with his enormous size, he can run the football (finishing 2nd among all QB’s in rushing yards). It’s amazing he didn’t get into the endzone once rushing the football, but I expect that to change. In fact, one of the good breakout bets of the season is for Freeman to score 3 or 4 rushing td’s which will significantly boost his td total. The weapons are not household names, but they are all solid guys who will hurt you if you underestimate them. I have no problem with you ending up with Josh Freeman if you cannot get one of the elite fantasy QB’s. RB’s: It seems like a long time ago that LeGarrette Blount was trying to punch out Boise St defenders after his Oregon team got waxed on the blue turf. Fantasy players now think of him as the guy that emerged in Tampa Bay, rushed for over 1,000 yards, knocked it out at 5 yards a carry and scored a half a dozen td’s. Blount led all rookies in yards last season and showed that he can be an elite fantasy RB. In fact Blount rushed for a league high total in December and January and averaged over 100 yards per game down the stretch. I’m not so worried about Cadillac Williams, I think LeGarrette Blount is one of the most underrated fantasy options on the board. Don’t forget that he is a 250 lb’r who can punish defenses and stay durable. I think the struggles inside the opponents 5 (only 2 td’s in 9 carries) will get better with experience and understanding his O-line. I’d be very happy if you grabbed him when nobody was looking, and he is one of my bracket players in 2011. WR’s: We knew Mike Williams had ability coming out of college but questions surrounding him led him to fall to the 4th round. Williams and his QB Josh Freeman are both up and comers who seem to have gotten on the same page. They especially like to find the endzone as Williams scored in ten different games. The concern is that Tampa has a lot of young talent and while Williams adjusted quickly, when other players around him adjust to their roles, will they eat into Mike’s production? I think the receptions and yards will both increase but I’m predicting the 11 td’s is something Mike Williams will not reach again in 2011. TE’s: Who is this guy? He’s played in all 16 games each of the last 4 years, led the team in receptions for 2 straight years and has been among the elite TE’s in catches and receiving yards for a half a decade. Kellen Winslow doesn’t get much love but he’s not terrible either and one of these seasons he may actually score more than a handful of td’s, if he does, watch out. He is undeniably a mismatch and his QB (Josh Freeman) is about to emerge. Winslow is good value. DEFENSE/ST: You can say this about their offense or defense: Tampa Bay has good, young players. I like Gerald McCoy coming off an injury and their corners are both underrated. I don’t like having to play New Orleans and Atlanta for a quarter of their games, but you do get Carolina twice. The sack total was alarmingly low in 2010 and they only had single digit fumble recoveries, both of those should increase for the better. KICKER: Connor Barth was perfect inside 40 yards last year and has an Josh Freeman offense on the rise. Good value at the position here.

TENNESSEE TITANS

PS ‘11 OFF RANK #17 PS ‘11 DEF RANK #29

QB’s: Will the real Matt Hasselbeck please step up? Hasselbeck was money in the playoffs last year for Seattle with a passer rating of over 100. In fact he looked like a dominant player. But, during the regular season he was mediocre at best. In fact, that’s being more kind than he deserves, but hey - I worked with his brother on “Fantasy Football Now” (Tim Hasselbeck is one of the best people in football). Matthew is a decent guy who is a good player, he’s just not in the right spot for fantasy season. RB’s: Chris Johnson set a goal of 2,000 yards at the start of the season and only reached about 2/3 of those yards. While you may have considered him a bust, if you drafted him high last year, he did have 12 td’s and almost 1,400 yards rushing. Moreover he had 8 games of at least 100 yards rushing and showed that behind a very good O-line he is someone you would like to have on your roster. You may be concerned by the sub-3 ypc CJ had in the last two games, but expect him to catch about 45 passes, rush for around 1,500 yards, score double digit td’s and be a fantasy stud. WR’s: Kenny Britt has an awful lot of talent and he’s coming into his 3rd year, (typically a bust out year for many fantasy WR’s) but Britt is not exactly a model citizen off the field and the term “multiple offseason arrests” is not something you want to see with a guy that you draft as a starting fantasy WR. But Britt has ability and now has a QB in Matt Hasselbeck who has experience. Britt is also a big boy who can get up and get after the football. If he stays healthy (missed 5 games with a bad hammy) he could match his 9 td’s. Certainly the receptions and yards will go up simply because we expect him to play more games. TE’s: I know you love a good sleeper. In fact you really love a deep sleeper. How about 6’5” 250, runs like a sprinter and now has a veteran QB at the helm to throw him the rock. That would be the plight of Jared Chris Johnson Cook at Tennessee. In the final 2 games last year he averaged 6 catches and totaled 154 yards. He’s a player you want to grab when nobody is looking and will not even be on a lot of people’s draft boards, he should be on yours. DEFENSE/ST: You know I think that Tennessee is in full rebuilding mode and has a chance to be one of the worst teams in the NFL. I loved Jeff Fisher, I loved how the Titans always seem to outperform expectations. But I don’t expect Tennessee to prove the pundits wrong in 2011. I don’t want them and you shouldn’t either. Let that new guy from accounting draft the Titans defense. KICKER: Raving Rob Bironas makes me feel warm and fuzzy at night and he seems to be my kicker every year in about 70% of my leagues. He’s steady, gets a lot of opportunities over 50 yards and is generally a really good player but a new regime in Tennessee, new QB, and new mind set makes me drop Bironas a few spots because of the uncertainty. ERIK’S CRAZY NOTES: • New QB Matt Hasselbeck please had a passer rating of over 100 in the playoffs last year. • Chris Johnson had 8 games of at least 100 yards. • WR Kenny Britt missed 5 games but still scored 9 td’s. • In the final 2 games last year Jared Cook averaged 6 catches and totaled 154 yards. Great TE sleeper. G 1

2011 DEPTH CHART OFFENSE

QB’s: John Beck. Hey - he may end up as the starter in Washington but hey - the Redskins are going to be awful. I know Beck was pretty good at BYU and I know he’s had an opportunity to be in the NFL for a while (he’ll be 30 when the regular season starts) but he’s barely thrown 100 pass attempts as a pro and all of those came 4 years ago. This is the ultimate Monty Hall “I’ll take what’s behind door #2”. Actually, I won’t and you shouldn’t either. RB’s: At this time last year most people couldn’t pick out Ryan Torain in a lineup if the other person in it was their brother. But after making the most of his 8 starts last season, Torain became an interesting case study in Washington. He got hurt (a lot) but when he played, he was often nasty. When you look at the depth chart in 2011 for Washington, there isn’t’ much there except for rookie Roy Helu. who could be a sleeper. They add Tim Hightower, but he’s not a difference maker. Mike Shanahan has a pension for riding a hot hand and making no-names fantasy stars (just take a long look at Mike Anderson when he was out in Denver). Don’t be scared of taking Helu late in a draft. WR’s: Santana Moss gave you a little something last year. The 93 catches and 1,110+ yards were both surprising and valuable. Moss also played in every game for the third consecutive season. He’s clearly a baller and a veteran who knows how to get things done but his QB situation is shakier than a Ponzi scheme and Moss has never been a td guy. In fact, he only has one double digit td season in his 10 year career. I expect him to rest back to numbers more closely resembling his ‘08 and ‘09 totals which are respectable but not awe inspiring. TE’s: Chris Cooley doesn’t score. He couldn’t find the endzone with a map. Six td’s in the last 3 years. On the positive side, he was 2nd among all TE’s in targets and receptions and also finished top 3 in receiving yards but guys who can’t score, cannot be on my team and they shouldn’t be on yours either. The one silver lining for Cooley is that he did have 11 redzone targets, which was top 10 among TE’s. Problem, is that while he did catch 7 of those 11 passes and it only resulted in one score so the Redskins throw to Cooley inside the 20 but he’s not standing in the endzone when he makes the grab. He’s probably a little over valued. DEFENSE/ST: Mike Shanahan needs to turn it around. I don’t mean the offense or the defense or the special teams, I mean the whole team - the entire team. They gave up more than 6,200 yards last year which is eye-popping. Couple that with having less than 30 sacks and not having either 15 int’s or fumble recoveries for the season and the Redskins are a pass on defense. KICKER: Don’t draft a kicker on a bad team. I shouldn’t have to tell Santana Moss you this. Even if it is Shayne Graham.
