2010 Fantasy Football IDP rankings: Cornerbacks

ep — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 05:01:05 +0000

There are a couple cornerbacks (about five to eight) that score about the same as the top safeties.

If your league specifically says you need defensive backs or cornerbacks, try to grab one of the players in the top 10, but not at the expense of a top linebacker.

Fantasy Football IDP: Top 30 Cornerbacks

Richard Marshall, CB, CAR: If you don’t throw to Chris Gamble’s side, you have to throw to Marshall’s side and he made quarterbacks pay last season.
Charles Woodson, CB, GB: On top of the return to form in picks, Woodson matched his second highest tackles total, forced four fumbles and batted down 18 passes. He’s still a solid pick despite his age.
Brandon Flowers, CB, KC: Deflected 23 passes and had five picks last season, his second consecutive season with more than 60 tackles.
Leon Hall, CB, CIN: He’ll probably lead the league in interceptions one of these years.
Antoine Winfield, CB, MIN: If not for his health concerns (missed 12 games in the last three years) he’d be higher on this list.
Cortland Finnegan, CB, TEN
Charles Tillman, CB, CHI
Terrell Thomas, CB, NYG
Tracy Porter, CB, NO
Kelvin Hayden, CB, IND (sleeper)
DeAngelo Hall, CB, WAS

2010 fantasy football IDP rankings: Defensive Tackles

ep — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 02:00:33 +0000

Only pick defensive tackles if your league specifically tells you to.

Unless star rookies Gerald McCoy and Ndamukong Suh revolutionize the game (ask Jake Delhomme if Suh has the power) you’re going to get more points at different positions.

2010 fantasy football IDP rankings: Outside linebackers

ep — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 00:12:04 +0000

Outside linebackers aren’t nearly as formidable as their inside brethren, but they still provide more value than many defensive backs and all defensive linemen.

One of the top two ‘backers in the game, Jon Beason, guards the outside so young players like Chad Greenway and Brian Cushing could blossom into eventual contenders to compete with the inside backers.

More linebacker rankings: LB | OLB | ILB.

More IDP rankings: Primer | Overall | LB | DL | DB

Fantasy Football IDP: Top 30 Outside Linebackers

Jon Beason, OLB, CAR: Has 130 total tackles in each of his three years in the NFL. Added three INTs in each of the last two years.
Lance Briggs, OLB, CHI: Briggs has scored more than 100 tackles in six of his seven years in the NFL. He also brings a couple sacks and an interception or two to the party.
Chad Greenway, OLB, MIN: Has right around 100 tackles each season. Last year he had three picks. The season before he had 5.5 sacks. If he combines them he could be in Beason territory.
James Harrison, OLB, PIT: Harrison is good for 10 sacks and 100 tackles but beware his shoulder issue this preseason.
Clint Session, OLB, IND: Entering his fourth year, Session has blossomed into a 95-100 tackle player who already has four picks and seven forced fumbles in his career.
Michael Boley, OLB, NYG: Let’s go back to 2007, because that’s the kind of performance the Giants hope to get out of him if he’s healthy this year (missed six games in ’09): 110 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 picks, 3 forced fumbles and 7 passes defensed.
Brian Cushing, OLB, HOU: His rookie of the year trophy is gone and his whether or not his stats were boosted by the PEDs remains to be seen. If there was no doubt he’d be up there with Beason. He had 134 tackles, five sacks, two picks and a safety last season.
Lamarr Woodley, OLB, PIT: Woodley’s going to provide double-digit sacks like his teammates, Harrison, but won’t be nearly as productive on the tackles side of things.
DeMarcus Ware, OLB, DAL: In 2008, he had 20 sacks, forced six fumbles and made 84 tackles. Those numbers were down last season considerably. He makes a nice sleeper because of that potential.
David Hawthorne, OLB, SEA: Impressive in his first full season, Hawthorne made more than 100 tackles, with four sacks and three picks. Another nice sleeper.
Geno Hayes, OLB, TB
Will Witherspoon, OLB, TEN
Clay Matthews, OLB, GB
Ernie Sims, OLB, PHI
Aaron Curry, OLB, SEA
Trevor Scott, OLB, OAK
Julian Peterson, OLB, DET

2010 fantasy football busts: 3 tight ends who you might never draft again

ep — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 22:58:01 +0000

Remember Jason Witten and how he was going to be this awesome tight end last year? He was going to go for 90 catches, 1,000 yards and 8-10 TDs.

He lived up to two thirds of those predictions but left the TDs behind. I’ve heard a lot of people say this season, in non-PPRs, that they won’t waste a high pick on Witten because they had him last year.

The crazy thing is, everyone’s picking another tight end based on a performance also heavily driven by touchdowns. That player is my top TE bust candidate in 2010.

EP’s bold tight end busts

Vernon Davis, SF: Contemplated putting Dallas Clark up here due to his leg injury, but I have a feeling that whole thing is just the Colts keeping a 31-year-old superstar healthy. Davis on the other hand, is coming off a 13-TD performance that tied the record for tight ends in a season. It is hard for any player to replicate a season like that. After his 3-TD showing in Week 7 against Houston, many teams found the trick to shutting him down. He mixed a couple 16-yard and 18-yard games in with some 100-yarders over the rest of the season. I wonder what defenses have devised to stop him in 2010? He’s being drafted as early as the late third round.

Visanthe Shiancoe, MIN: If we’re going to question Brett Favre for 2010, we have to question the talent relying on him, too. Shiancoe had four more scores and 14 more catches last season with Favre under center. If Favre is less effective that will mean less scoring opportunities and a disappointing season for Shiancoe owners.

Chris Cooley, WAS: Currently being drafted as a starter in 10-teamers and as early as the fifth round, Cooley provides an interesting dilemma. There was a time when he was on the cusp of TE greatness, but a 1-TD season in 2008 and an injury-plagued 2009 tarnished that. Last season, in Cooley’s absence, Fred Davis emerged as a formidable TE in his own right with six TDs and nearly 50 catches. They’ll share targets this season likely hurting both of their fantasy values.

Which TE are you avoiding in 2010? Let us know in the comments.

2010 Fantasy football busts: 5 risky wide receivers

ep — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 20:26:46 +0000

As the National Football League has made it easier for passing games to score, wide receivers have evened the gaps with running backs in fantasy football circles.

Many drafts have started to reflect that. WRs are going earlier and earlier. While that trend isn’t bound to end soon, it also creates a lot more bust possibilities.

Wide receivers get hurt less, but a handoff to a running back is more of a sure thing than a caught pass. There are many factors that go into a completion. How many of them go wrong and how often will determine a wide receiver’s value.

EP’s bold wide receiver busts

Reggie Wayne, IND: I own far too many of the players on these bust lists. They are talents, like Wayne, but their situations scare me. For Wayne, one of the biggest factors is the emergence of Pierre Garcon and Wayne’s injuries at the end of last season. I owned Garcon in a couple leagues last year and really believe he could outscore Wayne this season. You’re going to have to pay late-first, early second prices for Wayne as the No. 3 receiver. That’s too much.

Brandon Marshall, MIA: He’s got a new quarterback and is joining a run-first system. It’s not that there’s no room for an excellent top receiver in Miami, it’s just that he’s not going to catch 90 passes there, let alone 100. No Dolphins receiver has ever had more than 90 catches, not even in the days of Hall of Famer Dan Marino. Those days the Dolphins didn’t even have backs like Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams to rely on. Marshall has been picked in the first round in some leagues and has an ADP in the middle of the second. That seems like a setup for disappointment.

Larry Fitzgerald, ARI: Opinions vary greatly on Fitzgerald. He’s a keeper for me in one league, so I have the luxury of owning him but not having to pay late-first to middle-second round prices for a receiver without a real quarterback. Yes, great receivers can overcome bum quarterbacks, but not always. Don’t forget how putrid Randy Moss was in Oakland. Yes, the QB situation in Arizona could be that bad.

DeSean Jackson, PHI: Like several of the guys on this list, Jackson’s woes were discussed in the ADP re-review of Round 2. Injuries, training a new quarterback and the emergence of Jeremy Maclin as another mouth to feed in that high-powered offense could keep Jackson, a supreme talent, from taking the next step in 2010.

Vincent Jackson, SD: We’ll know more tomorrow (Sept. 4). If Jackson signs by Saturday, he’ll only miss the three games he’s suspended for. If he doesn’t sign, he’s roster exempt and will miss at least three games on top of the suspension. Jackson says he is ready to miss the entire season. To take a flier on him right now you need to take him as a starting receiver in 14-team leagues or leagues that run with 3 WRs. You’ll have to take him right around the same time you could pick Malcolm Floyd, who is expected to benefit most from Jackson’s absence.

Disagree? I’m sure some of you do. Let me hear about it in the comments and let us know which other busts you’d throw on this list.

2010 Fantasy Football Mock Draft Round 13

Staff — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:31:05 +0000

We know enter the final round of the mock draft. It’s the kicker round for the most part.

Here are the previous rounds:

And without further ado, our final round awaits:

13.01 Ryan Longwell (sockonfl)

The Minnesota kicker is a consummate pro and plays half his games in the dome.

13.02 Garrett Hartley (ep)

The No. 1 kicker on my list. My top kicker has never been available to me in the last round of a draft ever. I’d be excited but, y’know, it’s a kicker.

13.03 Nate Burleson (consigliere)

He could prove to have a solid year playing second fiddle to Calvin Johnson.

13.04 — Dexter McCluster (krause)

A guy who’s gonna play rb, wr and qb in the wildcat. Todd Haley said amazing things happen when McCluster and Jamaal Charles are on the field together. Here’s to hoping that amazement continues into the regular season.

13.05 David Akers (ryder)

If Philly’s offense sputters in the red zone like they have in the preseason, then Akers should get plenty of field goal kicks.

13.06 Sebastain Janokowski (speedy)
I liked this better when Campbell wasn’t hurt (NOTE: Campbell is healthy again), but the Raiders I think will be a little better, this year, but still struggle in the red zone.

13.07 Rob Bironas (jzak)

Best kicker available? Is that an oxymoron?

13.08 – Mason Crosby (jay-mo)

Why not take the steady kicker of a team, Green Bay, that will score the most points in the league this year. I’m not big on trying to predict which kicker will have the most field goals. It’s a crap shoot. I’d rather go for the sure thing, and Crosby should be a consistent 4-9 point scorer each week for me .

13.09 Matt Prater (sockonfl)

Liking the idea of those Denver air aided longer kicks.

13.10 Robbie Gould (consigliere)

Martz offense bottom line.

13.11 — Lawrence Tynes (ep)

If I get a chance, and he’s any good, I’ll take the kicker for my favorite team. I picked Tynes as my last pick in a almost every draft last season. He was top five in PATs, top seven overall among kickers.

13.12 Jeff Reed (jzak)

Steelers will be in a lot more close games where field goals are at a premium.

And so ends our Chinstrap Ninja Staff Mock Draft. We will be showing you the team rosters shortly and you can comment on which team looks the best and worst to you.

Staff Sleepers: Chinstrap Ninja writers share their favorite 2010 receiver value players

jzak — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:31:20 +0000

Coupon clippers world-wide know the importance of finding good value, even if it is 50 cents off a bottle of toilet bowl cleaner. It isn’t so much the money saved, but the feeling of getting something at a better price than most everyone else. Sort of like fantasy football owners and their sleepers.

We’ve published more than 100 pages of exclusive fantasy football advice, strategies, rankings and … sleepers.

While there may be plenty of question about what constitutes a true “sleeper,” the common consensus is that fantasy football success is tied directly to finding good value players via your draft, trades, waiver wire moves, etc.

So, as one last series to assist our faithful readers, we polled some of our writers, asking them to give us their favorite sleeper at each position and a paragraph each explaining why. Below, we share our favorite receiver sleepers.

Brohamma: Jacoby Jones

The forgotten position in Houston? The receiver opposite Andre Johnson. Kevin Walter was given a new contract, suprisingly, and now Jones is playing for his. I fully expect Jones to claim the 2nd WR position by the end of the preseason and show the world how underrated he’s been. With Owen Daniels saying that he won’t be 100% for the start of the season, Jones will see a marked increase in targets. His 6 touchdowns and 437 yards receiving from last season could easily double. Take Jones late and reap the benefits. Projection: 1,000 yards receiving 10TDs.

sockonfl: Johnny Knox

Knox is 6-0 180 lbs with good speed. A guy by the name of Torry Holt goes 6-0 200 lbs and had speed in his heyday. Why bring up Holt? Because Knox is a Holt clone that will fit well into Mike Martz’s offensive system. While everyone is singing the sleeper praises of Devin Aromashodu, Johnny Knox was the guy that caught both passes completed by Jay Cutler in the preseason opener. Don’t forget this guy come draft day. Rotoworld has called him “the diamond in the rough.”

Krause: Malcolm Floyd

Vincent Jacksons three game suspension and possible long term holdout make Floyd the number one receiver in San Diego. Floyd finally gets his chance to break out, he’s freakishly big at 6’5”, 225 lbs., which is nice in the red zone. Floyd will definately produce in 2010. The longer Jackson holds out, the better!

jaymo: Jacoby Jones

It shouldn’t take long for Jones to jump ahead of Kevin Walter for the No. 2 slot, which would be fantasy heaven in that offense. Jones is also a tremendous kick returner, which only adds to his 27-437-6 production from last season.

eric: Laurent Robinson

Sam Bradford will be accurate in 2010 and Robinson could benefit as the top option on a team that’s going to be trailing a lot. Donnie Avery’s knee injury makes it pretty certain that Robinson will be the top receiver in Saint Louis.

Consigliere: Mike Williams (TB)

Forget about the college troubles, this cat can ball and he has done so well that he has been named the outright number one wide out in Tampa. Who was the another receiver who had some serious college trouble that was drafted with many question marks and turned out to play with a huge chip on his shoulder… Randy Moss. Now I am not saying he is the next Moss, but it was well known that Williams had first-round talent with a fourth-round attitude. I like him a lot and many people will have cast him away and not to mention all the rankings out there now came out well before the training camp so they are going to be showing no love for Williams.

jzak: Jabar Gaffney

I love a lot of the value WRs this year … so much so that I’ve built a few drafting strategies around them. Gaffney is one player that should be higher on draft boards. People continue to assume that the rookies in Denver (Damaryius Thomas or Eric Decker) will immediately fill the shoes of Brandon Marshall. Or that Eddie Royal will rebound. But what about Jabar? He knows the playbook better than any receiver on the squad. He has great chemistry with Kyle Orton. He will produce WR2 numbers for at least the first half of the season, if not longer. I’m totally happy with that sort of projected production from a guy I can get late in most every draft format.

Staff sleepers: Chinstrap Ninja writers share their 2010 favorite running back value players

jzak — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 12:01:21 +0000

Like a back-to-school teen trying to stay ahead of the fashion curve, fantasy football owners need to keep tabs on player values … getting guys before they’re the next big thing.

We’ve published more than 100 pages of exclusive fantasy football advice, strategies, rankings and … sleepers.

jzak: Bernard Scott

Twice last season, Scott’s number was called to carry the rock more than 15 times in a game. He went 18-for-87 against Cleveland in Week

12 and 21-for-119 in Week 11 against Oakland. Sure, those performances were against less-than-stellar defenses, but Scott is for real. Cedric Benson is one all-nighter away from serious Roger Goodell-induced penalties. Benson shocked the fantasy world by producing consistently last year, this time, he returns to form and Scott is the starter in Cincy by year’s end.

ep: Kareem Huggins

Picked Huggins in front of Chinstrap Ninja Arkham in a draft this week. “I didn’t even know what a Kareem Huggins was two weeks ago,” he jibed via e-mail. I figure he skulked off muttering cusses under his breath. Huggins is the No. 2ish and in some circles … Chinstrap Ninjas commenter Mike, Football Guys, Mock Draft Central, to name a few … soon-to-be No. 1 running back in Tampa, in case you didn’t know.

Consigliere: Marshawn Lynch

Bam Fred Jackson is hurt and C.J. Spiller wont be able to carry the load all on his own. Lynch is one year removed from back-to-back 1,000-plus rushing seasons and eight touchdowns. He will be able to be had as a RB4 in many formats and could project to be a solid No. 2 running back. He has the skill and the talent to be a top back now, he just needs the playing time, and I think he will get that this year.

jaymo: Michael Bush

I’m not a big YPC guy, unless you see a consistent drop from season-to-season. In this case, Bush has had a steady 4.6 avg in his two years in the NFL. In addition, Darren McFadden doesn’t pose much a threat and Jason Campbell provides a major upgrade at QB, who will definitely keep the chains moving more so than last season. That means more touches for Bush. Editor’s Note: This was written prior to the Michael Bush injury.

krause: Justin Forsett

You want Forsett on your roster in 2010. He’s speedy, agile, elusive and can run between the tackles. With game-changing ability, there’s no telling how good Forsett might be with a full time starting roll. In the four games Forsett was given double-digit carries in 2009, he ran 63 times for 397 yards, a 6.4 yards per carry average. Huge potential, huge upside!

sockonfl: Arian Foster

I initially had Ben Tate as my sleeper running back. I now am on the Arian Foster bandwagon hot and heavy. The fantasy magazines all have him ranked tremendously low, so if you are in a league where all the guys follow the mags advice and don’t do their due diligent preseason homework, you might be able to get him on the cheap. This guy in basically 3 games last year had 54 carries for 257 yards, three TDs and 8 catches for 93 yards. Those stats project to 1,371 yards rushing 16 TDs and 42 rec for 496 yards. I wouldn’t expect those numbers, of course, but you can see he could be in for a monster season.

Brohamma: Ahmad Bradshaw

Here’s a quick question for you. How old is Ahmad Bradshaw? Seems like he’s been around for awhile doesn’t it? He’s only 24. Bradshaw compiled close to 1,000 combined yards last year while playing with two injured feet and a bum ankle … all of which had surgery during the offseason. Bradshaw simply outplayed Jacobs last year and the coaching staff will look to build on that. I expect Bradshaw to see 16-20 carries per game with an additional 4-5 receptions thrown in. If you have doubts about his burst, I’d suggest you take a look at the 50yd. reception he had versus the Jets in their first preseason game. There are Jets players still out there on the field looking for their jocks. Projection: 1100yds. rushing 400yds. receiving 9 TDs

2010 fantasy football busts: 4 quarterbacks some of you love now and will hate later

ep — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:00:57 +0000

One of the top three quarterbacks in the preseason is not going to finish in the top three.

Last season was the first time in the last five years that one of the top three quarterbacks didn’t live up to their expensive price tag and even then, not all of them finished in the top three.

In 2005, everyone was on Daunte Culpepper. In 2006, it was Matt Hasselbeck. In 2007, it was Carson Palmer. In 2008 it was Tom Brady. Even last season Matt Schaub’s performance as a mid-round sleeper pushed Peyton Manning out of the top three.

This season, the big three quarterbacks are all going in the first two rounds. One of them is likely to bust. Let me tell you who.

EP’s bold 2010 quarterback busts

Drew Brees, NO: I just spent $45 on him in an auction, yet here I am throwing him under the bus. The bottom line is that Brees has the following things going against him: Marques Colston, his No. 1 receiver, and Jeremy Shockey, his top tight end, churn out injury reports like few others; Lance Moore appears to be healthy, but has been nonexistent in the preseason; and Robert Meachem’s got a bum toe, but has managed to not aggravate it (yet). Add in the Super Bowl hangover and that’s a lot of potentially bad for a quarterback being drafted in the late-first, early-second.

Brett Favre, MIN: He’s getting lubricant pumped into that bum, 728-year-old ankle. Sidney Rice might miss most of the season. There is no way Favre has such an amazing TD:INT ratio in 2010. It’s just not in his blood. There’s a lot to be concerned about here.

Joe Flacco, BAL: I was a fan of his early in the season when he was a value, but his average draft position has skyrocketed into the sixth round. He’s been picked in the third round in some drafts at Fantasy Football Calculator. He has top-10 QB upside, but if Flacco throws 21 TDs again he’ll be the weak end of a quarterback by committee, not a third-, fourth- or fifth-round QB.

Donovan McNabb, WAS: Like Maurice Jones-Drew in the running back busts discussion, a player with an injury just before the season starts is alarming. It’s even more alarming for a player like McNabb who has spent a lot of his career with INJ next to his name. He’s being drafted as a starter in deep leagues. That ankle injury could linger on, get worse or lead to a related injury.

Who am I wrong about? Who else should be on this list? Let us know in the comments.

Fantasy football busts: 5 running backs you will learn to hate in 2010

ep — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 07:11:55 +0000

We’ve started unveiling more staff sleepers, but there is another side to the coin. It is an ugly side.

Busts come in all shapes and sizes, but it’s the ones near the top of your draft that make us shake our fists in the air, scream a name and an accompanying string of unintelligible cuss words.

What follows are some of the players I’ve been avoiding in an attempt to keep my blood pressure below the instant death mark in 2010.

EP’s bold running back busts

Maurice Jones-Drew, JAX: I know, right? He’s my top RB. Unfortunately, for those of us who have already drafted MJD, this whole knee thing is new and potentially very bad. I’m not saying he’s going to be awful, but I don’t want to waste my first pick (or any of my top four, really) on somebody who has an unknown knee thing that nobody is explaining.

DeAngelo Williams, CAR: In my re-review of ADP round 2, I said: “Williams will be great, but somebody else is going to pay less for Jonathan Stewart and get the same fantasy numbers. That will disappoint Williams owners.” My stance hasn’t changed.

Shonn Greene, NYJ: Another back I own in two leagues. Ugh, what was I thinking? LaDainian Tomlinson has looked like the real LT in the preseason. If this isn’t a full-blown committee, the job is Tomlinson’s. You have to pay top 20 for Greene and top 100 for Tomlinson.

LeSean McCoy, PHI: There’s a reason Leonard Weaver was so exciting for stretches last season while McCoy was “starting” in place of an injured Brian Westbrook. Mike Bell wasn’t brought in as a backup, he was brought in to fill the role he had in New Orleans last season when he missed three games and still scored five TDs.

Brandon Jacobs, NYG: Everybody’s talking about picking Felix Jones as the big-play back over Marion Barber, but they’re not making the connection with the Giants. The crazy thing: Bradshaw was better than Felix Jones last season. Both players were hurt last season but Jones didn’t have a 100-yard game. Bradshaw had two. Bradshaw also didn’t have any nine-touches-for-13-yards disasters last season. Jones missed two games and had three awful games on top of that.

Felix Jones, DAL: I know I only promised five busts, but did you read that Jacobs blurb? Jones has got to be on here.
