Mike Nolan Names Sullivan Starting Quarterback Going Into the Regular Season

I've gotten tired of the NFL News Wire Rundowns. There's been a lot less of them lately as I'm sure (or maybe not...) you've noticed. They just seem trivial because I get the feeling that if you're committed to fantasy football enough to be reading a stupid, tiny, little fantasy site like this one, you probably know most of the big news in the football world already. Don't worry though. My dry, dumb, one liners and jokes will not go to waste completely. That is, if you don't think they're garbage already. Instead I'll just be posting about single news stories as soon after I find them as possible when I get home from my real life. And then I'll make fun of them. In a conference call with reporters this afternoon, Mike Nolan officially named JTo (that's what I call him; just admit it, you know it sounds cool) the starter for the regular season opener against Arizona. He's only played in 6 games his whole career, he was out of the league in 2005 and 2006, and he's thrown for 148 passing yards his whole career, but as crazy as it sounds, I think he's a decent backup quarterback in a 12 or 14 team league. It's not important that he's only passed the ball 26 times in the NFL, ever. All you need to know is that he's the quarterback in a Mike Martz offense. He has Bryant Johnson, who some people think is actually somewhat not crappy, Isaac Bruce, a polished, experienced veteran, Vernon Davis, who some people think is an elite tight end (oh wait, that was Davis who said that), and a top running back in Frank Gore at his disposal. So he has some moderately average weapons to work with. Mike Martz will somehow make him relevant. In a related story, Alex Smith is now officially the worst #1 overall pick in recent history. He just lost his starting job to a guy who played football at UC-Davis and who has completed an amazing 13 passes. Seriously. Ryan Leaf, make room in the doghouse. You have a new roomate. Oh by the way, neither ESPN or Yahoo! Sports has this news story up on their site yet.

Steven Jackson Ends His Holdout

I've gotten tired of the NFL News Wire Rundowns. There's been a lot less of them lately as I'm sure (or maybe not...) you've noticed. They just seem trivial because I get the feeling that if you're committed to fantasy football enough to be reading a stupid, tiny, little fantasy site like this one, you probably know most of the big news in the football world already. Don't worry though. My dry, dumb, one liners and jokes will not go to waste completely. That is, if you don't think they're garbage already. Instead I'll just be posting about single news stories as soon after I find them as possible when I get home from my real life. And then I'll make fun of them. Currently, Yahoo! Sports doesn't even have this up on their site yet. Adam Schefter of nfl.com reports that Steamin' Steven plans to return to training camp on Thursday and end his 27 day hold out. The Rams organization has agreed to start negotiating a new deal with Jackson and his agent and supposedly Eugene Parker and Rams President Jay Zygmunt have already begun discussions. I guess St. Louis realized that it will probably be hard for them to succeed if they don't have their best player. Makes sense. Either that or SJax ran out money and couldn't afford weird bandanna things anymore. Whatever the reason, the thing that matters is that Jackson is back in uniform and now an even better choice at 4th overall after idiots have taken Adrian Peterson over him. Oh by the way, I just realized how to tag posts. I guess that's important for organization and crap. SJax you're the inaugural tagged post. Lucky you.

Alex's Fantasy Football Rankings

Yes, I love to refer myself in third person. Like Tosten, my rankings will be in tiers. Unlike Tosten's rankings, mine are accurate. Next to each players name, I will have where I ranked that player in my previous rankings which were combined with Tosten's in our draft kit. Enjoy! QB: 1. Tom Brady (2) 2. Peyton Manning (1) 3. Drew Brees (3) 4. Tony Romo (4) 5. Ben Roethlisberger (5) 6. Matt Hasselbeck (6) 7. Carson Palmer (7) 8. Marc Bulger (8) 9. David Garrard (11) 10. Derek Anderson (9) 11. Donavon McNabb (12) 12. Jay Cutler (10) 13. Brett Favre (35) 14. Jake Delhomme (13) 15. Aaron Rodgers (17) 16. Matt Schaub (14) 17. Eli Manning (16) 18. Matt Leinart (21) 19. Jason Campbell (15) 20. Philip Rivers (18) 21. Trent Edwards (19) 22. Jeff Garcia (20) 23. Jon Kitna (22) 24. JaMarcus Russell (29) 25. Chad Pennington (37) 26. J.T. O'Sullivan (NR) 27. Tarvaris Jackson (24) 28. Vince Young (25) 29. Brodie Croyle (33) 30. Kyle Boller (NR) 31. Luke McCown (30) 32. Alex Smith (28) 33. Matt Ryan (32) 34. Sage Rosenfels (31) 35. Kyle Orton (NR) 36. Kurt Warner (27) 37. Kellen Clemens (23) 38. Brady Quinn (34) 39. Trent Green (NR) 40. Billy Volek (NR) Tier 1 - The two elite QB's. Moved Manning down because of his bursa sac injury. (the name alone sounds painful) I think there's a much greater concern over Manning's injury than Brady's. Tier 2 - A slight notch down from Peyton and Brady, but still excellent #1's with upside. Tier 3 - Hasselbeck and Palmer are very good #1's, but either: don't have a lot of upside like guys ahead of him (Hasselbeck) or have questions surronding his receiving corps (Palmer) Tier 4 - Decent #1's, but none of them are locks to stay that way. Brett Favre is in that mix, but if I talk about him on here anymore, I'm afraid that Sportscenter might do an hour special about it. Tier 5 - Quality backups, fringe starters. A lot of the guys in this tier are improving and have upside. Tier 6 - The best of the bunch before the near undraftable tier. Tier 7 - Guess I already gave it away in Tier 6; a lot of these guys won't get drafted, but I was told to rank 40 QB's.... RB: 1. LT (1 - come on, like he's going anywhere in my rankings) 2. Brian Westbrook (2) 3. Steven Jackson (3) 4. Clinton Portis (5) 5. Larry Johnson (4) 6. Frank Gore (5) 7. Marshawn Lynch (7) 8. Adrian Peterson (9) 9. Willis McGahee (8) 10. Joseph Addai (10) 11. Marion Barber (11) 12. Thomas Jones (13) 13. Ryan Grant (12) 14. Brandon Jacobs (14) 15. Jamal Lewis (17) 16. Laurence Maroney (16) 17. Earnest Graham (15) 18. Micheal Turner (19) 19. Edge James (18) 20. Maurice Jones-Drew (20) 21. Willie Parker (23) 22. LenDale White (17) 23. Jonathan Stewart (22) 24. Reggie Bush (23) 25. Selvin Young (29) 26. Justin Fargas (26) 27. Julius Jones (24) 28. Fred Taylor ( 27) 29. Chestor Taylor (25) 30. Kevin Smith (28) 31. Ricky Williams (36) 32. Darren McFadden (32) 33. Ronnie Brown (21) 34. Rashard Mendenhall (34) 35. Rudi Johnson (31) 36. Matt Forte (33) 37. DeAngelo Williams (35) 38. Chris Brown (40) 39. Jerious Norwood (39) 40. Kenny Watson (38) 41. Chris Johnson (NR - I may or may not have forgotten about him last time) 42. Duece McAllister (42) 43. Fred Jackson (37) 44. Maurice Morris (45) 46. Ray Rice (54) 47. Ladell Betts (46) 48. Dominic Rhodes (49) 49. Steve Slaton (NR) 50. Leon Washington (50) 51. Tatum Bell (NR) 52. Ahmad Bradshaw (44) 53. Chris Perry ( NR) 54. Sammy Morris (41) 55. Warrick Dunn (47) 56. Andre Hall (NR) 57. Kevin Jones (48) 58. Felix Jones ( 58) 59. Antonio Pittman (NR) 60. Tim Hightower (55) 61. Brandon Jackson ( 56) 62. Marcus Mason (NR - Plays for the Redskins) 63. Jason Wright ( 57) 64. Jamaal Charles ( 52) 65. Marcel Shipp (NR) 66. Jalen Parmele (NR - RB for the Dolphins - Ask yourself, how much do you trust Ricky and Ronnie?) 67. Jacob Hester ( NR) 68. Lamont Jordan (NR) 69. Lorenzo Booker (59) 70. Derrick Ward (NR) Tier 1 - LT finally has company in Tier 1. Tier 2 - Watch out Steven Jackson. If your holdout continues, Portis may overtake your spot. No joke, Portis is that good. All the guys in this tier are excellent #1 backs. Tier 3 - Still number one backs in this tier, but with more question marks whether that be health issues (McGahee), unproveness, if that's a real word (Barber) or the multitude of reasons to hate Addai this year including: Relying on touchdowns, dropoff in production in the second half of the season and much, much more! Tier 4 - I'd comfortabley take any of these guys as my #2 back. Tier 5 - Weaker #2 options, great flex guys. Tier 6 - Average flex options. Tier 7 - Some more rookies come into the mix along with the first major handcuff, Chester Taylor. Must have for Peterson owners. Tier 8 - Some upside guys in the first couple of slots. The latter of the tier is mainly handcuffs. Tier 9 - Mostly handcuffs. A few upside rookies though like Parmele. WR: 1. Randy Moss (1) 2. Reggie Wayne (2) 3. Terrell Owens (3) 4. Larry Fitzgerald (4) 5. Torry Holt (5) 6. Braylon Edwards (6) 7. Andre Johnson (7) 8. Marques Colston (8) 9. Chad Johnson (9) 10. T.J. Houshmanzadeh (10) 11. Plaxico Burress (11) 12. Jerricho Cotchery (15) 13. Anquan Boldin (14) 14. Santonio Holmes (23) 15. Wes Welker (16) 16. Brandon Marshall (10) 17. Roddy White (21) 18. Steve Smith (13) 19. Donald Driver (19) 20. Dwayne Bowe (22) 21. Greg Jennings (20) 22. Marvin Harrison (19) 23. Roy Williams (24) 24. Nate Burleson (34) 25. Derrick Mason (29) 26. Laveranues Coles (36) 27. Lee Evans (25) 28. Chris Chambers (26) 29. Hines Ward (30) 30. Joey Galloway (28) 31. Anthony Gonzalez (27) 32. Calvin Johnson (33) 33. Santana Moss (31) 34. Jerry Porter (38) 35. Robert Meachem (54) 36. Bernard Berrian (35) 37. Isaac Bruce (37) 38. Drew Bennett (39) 39. Reggie Brown (43) 40. D.J. Hackett (47) 41. Courtney Taylor (51) 42. Kevin Walter (40) 43. Vincent Jackson (48) 44. Sidney Rice (41) 45. Justin Gage (50) 46. Reggie Williams (46) 47. Devin Hester (NR) 48. Desean Jackson (NR) 49. Ike Hillard (66) 50. Ted Ginn Jr. (44) 51. Darrell Jackson (42) 52. Josh Morgan (NR) 53. Ben Obomanu (NR) 54. Donte Stallworth (52) 55. Steve Smith (NYG - 56) 56. Eddie Royal (NR) 57. Ronald Curry (58) 58. Chris Henry (NR) 59. Sam Hurd (61) 60. Amani Toomer (60) 61. James Hardy (57) 62. Bryant Johnson (NR) 63. Jabar Gaffney (64) 64. Mushin Muhhammad (NR) 65. Steve Breaston (NR) 66. Kevin Curtis (32) 67. Earl Bennett (55) 68. Hank Baskett (NR) 69. Laurent Robinson (NR) 70. James Jones (NR) 71. Limas Sweed (45) 72. Jordan Kent (NR) 73. Marcus Smith (NR) 74. Antwaan Randle El (NR) 75. Kennan Burton (NR) Tier 1 - The two top dogs of the WR's. No worries whatsoever if you daft either of them. Tier 2 - Excellent #1's, just slightly worse than Moss and Wayne. Tier 3 - A couple of high upside choices (Cotchery and Holmes) so you may want to be cautious of having them as your #1 right now. They're better suited as strong #2's. Everyone else on that tier is a solid number one. Tier 4 - The two suspendees fall into this tier. If you take either one of them, make sure you have a Plan B for the first few weeks. Good #2's to be found in this tier. Tier 5 - Some OK #2's; better bench options if you ask me. Tier 6 - Not starter material, but a lot of potential from guys in this tier. Tier 7 - Some sleepers to be found (Morgan, Royal, and Desean Jackson). You can get most of these guys late or scoop them up on the waiver wire. Tier 8 - Some more guys with high upside with a few savy veterans into the mix. TE: 1. Jason Witten (1) 2. Antonio Gates (2) 3. Tony Gonzalez (3) 4. Kellen Winslow Jr. (4) 5. Jeremy Shockey (5) 6. Dallas Clark (6) 7. Chris Cooley (9) 8. Tony Scheffler(9) 9. Heath Miller (8) 10. Todd Heap (11) 11. Vernon Davis (12) 12. Owen Daniels (13) 13. LJ Smith (15) 14. Ben Watson (14) 15. Randy McMicheal (17) 16. Alge Crumpler (7) 17. Ben Utect (20) 18. Zach Miller (21) 19. Donald Lee (16) 20. Kevin Boss (19) 21. Martrez Milner (17) 22. Greg Olsen (23) 23. Leonard Pope (26) 24. Marcedes Lewis (24) 25. Anthony Fasano (23) 26. Dustin Keller (25) 27. John Carlson (27) 28. Dan Campbell (28) 29. Delaine Walker (NR) 30. Desmond Clark (NR) Tier 1 - Witten and Gates, easily the best two TE's in the league. Tier 2 - Either in a high octane offense like Shockey and the Saints or the best receiver on the team like Cooley and the 'Skins. Tier 3 - Average #1 TE's. Most have upside. Tier 4 - Fringe #1 TE's. Health hold some of these guys back. Tier 5 - #2 TE's. Bye week fill ins.

IOAE. EIK. Round IV "Wow This Is Getting Old"

So I occasionally post my greatness on this site called Bleacher Report. They actually love me over there. It's a pleasant change. They even think I'm an expert. So they invited me to be in a fantasy football experts draft. For experts. Like me. First Round: 1. Ladainian Tomlinson (Jacob Sloan) 2. Brian Westbrook (Me) 3. Adrian Peterson (Sean Crowe) 4. Joseph Addai (Russel Ivanac) 5. Steven Jackson (Collin Hager) 6. Tom Brady (Andrew Kneeland) 7. Randy Moss (Brendan McGair) 8. Clinton Portis (Matt Something) 9. Marshawn Lynch (Isaac Elyacharshuster) 10. Frank Gore (John Ferriola) Second Round: 10. Marion Barber (John Ferriola) 9. Larry Johnson (Isaac Elyacharshuster) 8. Willis McGahee (Matt Something) 7. Ryan Grant (Brendan McGair) 6. Jamal Lewis (Andrew Kneeland) 5. Terrell Owens (Collin Hager) 4. Maurice Jones-Drew (Russel Ivanac) 3. Darren McFadden (Sean Crowe) 2. Peyton Manning (Me) 1. Reggie Wayne (Jacob Sloan) Third Round: 1. Braylon Edwards (Jacob Sloan) 2. Marques Colston (Me) 3. Tony Romo (Sean Crowe) 4. Andre Johnson (Russel Ivanac) 5. Brandon Jacobs (Collin Hager) 6. Larry Fitzgerald (Andrew Kneeland) 7. Lawrence Maroney (Brendan McGair) 8. Drew Brees (Matt Something) 9. T.J. Houshmandzadeh (Isaac Elyacharshuster) 10. Chad Johnson (John Ferriola) Fourth Round: 10. Steve Smith (John Ferriola) 9. Carson Palmer (Isaac Elyacharshuster) 8. Santonio Holmes (Matt Something) 7. Antonio Gates (Brendan McGair) 6. Willie Parker (Andrew Kneeland) 5. Torry Holt (Collin Hager) 4. Plaxico Burress (Russel Ivanac) 3. Wes Welker (Sean Crowe) 2. Thomas Jones (Me) 1. Michael Turner (Jacob Sloan) The Bad - A suspended Steve Smith, an inconsistent, one-tool Santonio Holmes, a Wes Welker who has only had one relevant season ever (beware of Brandon Stokley syndrome), and the always injured Plaxico Burress all go before Anquan Boldin? Anquan's ceiling is way too high for that to happen. Over the course of his 5 year career he's averaged 97 receptions per 16 games. Matt Leinart is looking like the definite full time starter now. Boldin had 7 more receptions, 94 more yards, and 3 more touchdowns than Fitzgerald during the three games last year when Leinart was the main QB. He's fully healthy now. Plus, he may go to Philly to be McNabb's go to guy. If you can get him after the fourth round it's a huge steal. - Santonio Holmes was the 11th wideout off the board. Can I get a group moan? Holmes relies way too much on touchdowns off the long ball to be taken as a top WR. He's Lee Evans with more hype. His game is undoubtedly prone to inconsistency. Britney Spears except with fantasy production instead of moods. Don't buy into Matthew Berry's love around this guy. He'll fall back to Earth. The Good - I don't know why I bashed myself, Andrew, and Jacob in the last round's review, looking at it now, I really like the Willie Parker and Thomas Jones, 4th round picks. Both are decent #2 running backs that you could get two rounds later than most people are grabbing their #2's. In smaller leagues like this, I wouldn't bash the strategy of waiting a bit to get your second RB in order to grab a couple top wide receivers. These two guys, and also a player like Earnest Graham, are all solid starters, but none of them are sexy. So when you are looking at Larry Fitzgerald or Thomas Jones in the third round, know that most of the other guys in your draft are going to go with the Fitz's of the world. So Jones should last a round later. - Love, love, love the Torry Holt snag. Getting him as the 12th wideout is awesome. He's got the highest floor of anybody in the league; you know you're going to get great production out of him. And this year I think he'll take it back to awesome production. He has his o-line, quarterback, and running back all healthy again and his old coach Al Saunders is the o-coordinator. Think Saunders won't utilize him a ton? Holt has a good chance of being an elite wide receiver again this season. P.S. Do you really care about this mock draft anymore? Am I wasting yours and my time updating you on every round? I kind of think so. Say in the comments how you would rather have me cover mock drafts.

Preseason Recap - Week 2

Another week, another set of games that most people ignore. For the casual fan, it's understandable; there aren't too many fans of guys like Marcus Mason, Micah Rucker, and Justin Forsett out there. But for those of us who play fantasy football, the battles and injuries contine. Steelers vs Bills: 24-21 Bills Byron Leftwich didn't look too shabby for a guy who only had two days to learn as much of the offense as he could. Expect him to be the top backup for Big Ben. Rashard Mendenhall had a short TD run. If he keeps it up, he should be the short-yardage back. However, I still expect Willie Parker to score more than 2 touchdowns this year. Trent Edwards was spectacular going 9 of 11 for 104 yards and 2 touchdowns. Any rumors of a QB competition between him J.P. Losman were quickly quieted. Robert Royal was on the receiving end of both of Edwards' touchdowns, but don't expect the Bills to use the TE that much this year. Royal remains undraftable in almost all leagues. Panthers vs Eagles: 24-13 Eagles Jonathan Stewart played his first game in the NFL, and although he wasn't very productive (3 carries for four yards) it's a good sign that he's out there. Not much else to report. DeSean Jackson continues to light up the box score, recording 7 receptions for 71 yards after a 5 catch performence against the Steelers in Week 1. He's quickly moving up the depth charts and has an excellent chance of being the slot receiver for Philly. Brian Westbrook played, assuring any contract woes are done and over with. Raiders vs Titans: 17-16 Titans JaMarcus Russell excelled, going 10 of 17 for 75 yards and a TD pass. He made good throws and kept plays alive including his lone TD pass. Darren McFadden had an explosive run to end the first half while Micheal Bush got 14 carries, something that's rare in preseason especially in a crowded Oakland backfield. Still, Bush only remains a sleeper in deeper leagues. Zach Miller was Russell's favorite target having 48 yards on 4 receptions and a touchdown. He's got a lot of upside, but isn't yet dependable. Javon Walker had a bad drop; I advise fantasy owners to stay away from him. He's aging, has knee trouble, committment issues, and has had a hard time getting seperation from cornerbacks. Unlike Russell, Vince Young continue to struggle completing only 4 of his 13 passes for 37 yards. Until he shows improvement, he isn't a viable piece to your team. Buyer beware. Chris Johnson continues to be explosive, having a 15 yard run. LenDale White and Chris Henry also had long runs.

Rankings Update + Analysis and Explanation - Alex's Rankings = This Blog Post

I've been told I sleep too much. Maybe that's true, because this week I feel like I just came out of hibernation. I breathed in that fresh air that smells of the fast approaching autumn... and then walked back inside to turn on the tube and watch some football. Preseason! The NFL Regular Season's ugly stepsister! It's good for warming up players who are already in world class shape, showing franchises that, on the field, their rookie first round picks were redonkulously overapid, and helping teams decide between Shaun Hill and J. O'Sullivan. It's kind of pointless. It's kind of great. And it kind of gives me an excuse to continue to flip flop between Jerious Norwood and Chris Johnson and pass it off as updated, top notch, fantasy rankings and analysis. Alrighty! QB 1 Peyton Manning 2 Tom Brady 3 Tony Romo 4 Drew Brees 5 Carson Palmer 6 Ben Roethlisberger 7 Matt Hassleback 8 Donovan McNabb 9 Jay Cutler 10 Marc Bulger 11 Derek Anderson 12 David Garrard 13 Matt Schaub 14 Jason Campbell 15 Brett Favre 16 Jake Delhomme 17 Philip Rivers 18 Aaron Rodgers 19 Jon Kitna 20 Eli Manning 21 Matt Leinart 22 Tarvaris Jackson 23 JaMarcus Russell 24 Trent Edwards 25 Kurt Warner 26 Vince Young 27 Jeff Garcia 28 J. O'Sullivan 29 Kyle Orton 30 Sage Rosenfels 30 Matt Ryan 31 Troy Smith 32 Brodie Croyle 33 Kellen Clemens 34 Brady Quinn 35 Joe Flacco Tier 1: - Dropped Palmer from the top tier just because Chad Johnson proved this week that he still does not have any sanity in his being and a quarterback with an insane #1 wide receiver is not good - All four guys left in the tier have the ability to pass for 4000 yards and 30 touchdowns and are all justifiable third or even second round picks, but read: not first round Tier 2: - Some questions surround all three of these guys, so I'm not confident they can put up numbers that will carry your team, but all are solid starters Tier 3: - The last of the decent starting quarterbacks, pick and choose your two favorite and take 'em both in rounds 6-9 if you can, it's the Costco QB strategy, get quality and quantity at a cheaper price Tier 4: - You really don't want a backup quarterback that's not from this group unless you have Brady or Manning, the rest of the QB's are bunk Tiers 5 and 6: - I've seen different people find upside in some of these guys, the truth is that none of them are solid, a few of them don't suck and you can get by with them, but you don't want to look forward to drafting any of them RB 1 Ladainian Tomlinson 2 Brian Westbrook 3 Steven Jackson 4 Joseph Addai 5 Adrian Peterson 6 Clinton Portis 7 Frank Gore 8 Marshawn Lynch 9 Larry Johnson 10 Marion Barber 11 Willis McGahee 12 Ryan Grant 13 Jamal Lewis 14 Maurice Jones-Drew 15 Brandon Jacobs 16 Earnest Graham 17 Thomas Jones 18 Kevin Smith 19 Willie Parker 20 Jonathan Stewart 21 Lawrence Maroney 22 Edgerrin James 23 Ronnie Brown 24 Selvin Young 25 Reggie Bush 26 Matt Forte 27 Justin Fargas 28 LenDale White 29 Darren McFadden 30 Fred Taylor 31 Julius Jones 32 DeAngelo Williams 33 Rashard Mendenhall 34 Rudi Johnson 35 Jerious Norwood 36 Felix Jones 37 Duece McCalister 38 Ricky Williams 39 Chris Johnson 40 Chester Taylor 41 Maurice Morris 42 Ahmad Bradshaw 43 Chris Brown 44 Kenny Watson 45 Derrick Ward 46 Andre Hall 47 Sammy Morris 48 Ray Rice 49 Chris Perry 50 Ahman Green 51 Kolby Smith 52 Leon Washington 53 Brian Calhoun 54 Brandon Jackson 55 Jacob Hester 56 Jason Wright 57 Antonio Pittman 58 Kevin Faulk 59 Ladell Betts 60 Fred Jackson Tier 1: - Yes Adrian Peterson is at 5. I'm not going to use a top pick on an elite back that I don't trust to play a full season when I can use a top pick on an elite back who will actually play 16 games. Tier 2: - Moved Lynch up a few spots and set these three in their own tier just because there's some major questions and doubts about the top couple backs below them Tier 3: - If you're going to take a running back in the second round make sure it's someone in this group - Dropped McGahee a bit with the news that his injury is more troubling than originally expected and how Ray Rice is really impressing coaches in camp Tier 4: - Third round running backs - I like Kevin Smith more than a lot of people, most don't have him this high - Lawrence Maroney is not a third round draft pick, he's not in this tier Tier 5: - Some ok #2 running backs still in this group, but don't reach for any of them, some probably will drop even farther - Fargas is ahead of McFadden, the Oakland duo will be more along the lines of Duece/Bush this first year than Taylor/Peterson Tier 6: - The best of the complimentary, rbbc backs, take them as #3 guys Tier 7: - # 4 backs - As crazy as it is, Ricky Williams is a solid pick, Ronnie Brown is no different than any other back coming off an ACL injury, it'll take him more than a year to get back to 100% Tier 8: - Handcuffs, guys in timeshares, and late round fliers for the most part in this group WR's and TE's coming tomorrow This format was really retarded, It'll be different next week

I'm Officialy An Expert. Eat it Knuckas. Round III

So I occasionally post my greatness on this site called Bleacher Report. They actually love me over there. It's a pleasant change. They even think I'm an expert. So they invited me to be in a fantasy football experts draft. For experts. Like me. First Round: 1. Ladainian Tomlinson (Jacob Sloan) 2. Brian Westbrook (Me) 3. Adrian Peterson (Sean Crowe) 4. Joseph Addai (Russel Ivanac) 5. Steven Jackson (Collin Hager) 6. Tom Brady (Andrew Kneeland) 7. Randy Moss (Brendan McGair) 8. Clinton Portis (Matt Something) 9. Marshawn Lynch (Isaac Elyacharshuster) 10. Frank Gore (John Ferriola) Second Round: 10. Marion Barber (John Ferriola) 9. Larry Johnson (Isaac Elyacharshuster) 8. Willis McGahee (Matt Something) 7. Ryan Grant (Brendan McGair) 6. Jamal Lewis (Andrew Kneeland) 5. Terrell Owens (Collin Hager) 4. Maurice Jones-Drew (Russel Ivanac) 3. Darren McFadden (Sean Crowe) 2. Peyton Manning (Me) 1. Reggie Wayne (Jacob Sloan) Third Round: 1. Braylon Edwards (Jacob Sloan) 2. Marques Colston (Me) 3. Tony Romo (Sean Crowe) 4. Andre Johnson (Russel Ivanac) 5. Brandon Jacobs (Collin Hager) 6. Larry Fitzgerald (Andrew Kneeland) 7. Lawrence Maroney (Brendan McGair) 8. Drew Brees (Matt Something) 9. T.J. Houshmandzadeh (Isaac Elyacharshuster) 10. Chad Johnson (John Ferriola) The Bad - That's what you get Brendan for drafting a wide receiver in the first round. A running back who barely had a third of his teams total rushing touchdowns and not even half of his teams total rushing yards. Lawrence Maroney, third round, as your number #2 running back? You just spent $40 on a 3 ounce steak. Bon apetit. - Tosten, Jacob, and Andrew. Tsk, tsk. Coming out of the first three rounds with only one running back? Enjoy Thomas Jones and Willie Parker. The Good - Brandon Jacobs at 25? Oh boy. SJax, TO, and BJac. Collin's gonna have more touchdowns than NASA.
