Campbell is higher than I was expecting him but the numbers don’t look really crazy.
I guess most forget about him because his upside isn’t that high. Whereas, if you draft Kolb you’re thinking there’s a chance you’ve found a breakout star.
I was saying this last year too but I think Flacco could be a value in the draft because I think he can mirror Matt Ryan’s numbers and he’s definitely going to be drafted later.
Great rankings. Look forward to updates after the QB carousel.

Jay Cutler’s INTs. #NumberMostLikelyToBeDifferent

::Surprised face emoticon::
Vick throws for over 4,000 and 28 TD’s? He would be lapping the competition. Those are insane numbers when you consider he’ll run for 6 more.
Has there ever been 12 QB’s that have thrown for over 4,000 yards in one year? I get the feeling you think offenses will really be slinging it around this year Doc.

Let’s try this again…
I’m a first time poster to the football side of RAZZZZZZ, but i’m all over that baseball shizz.
Anyway,
I’m in a 1 player keeper league, I may be able to pry michael vick away from the guy who gets to keep him (we can only keep players who were drafted after the 8th round). I have 7th pick, i offered him my 4th, 7th, and 11th round picks. Is that too much?
(I have VJAX as my keeper)

Matt Stafford question – it looks like you’ve basically taken the Lions production from 2010 and placed that on Stafford’s line. Given that the Lions had Drew Stanton and Shaun Hill behind center for most of the year do you think that there’s a big upside possibility here for Stafford? Not top five upside, but top ten upside – Matt Ryan/Big Ben numbers? The Lions attempted 633 passes last year, third behind only Indy and New Orleans. Clearly, I don’t think Stafford is Manning or Brees, but he’s got the best red zone target of the three and a team that will probably be involved in a bunch of shoot outs.
Stafford in the 9th (twelve team league, standard scoring) is where I’m looking to pick him up. Either as a backup or as my starter depending on availability up the board. This make sense? Should I shy away from him as a starter and continue to target value drafting earlier on?

Hey quick question, im in a keeper league, dont know where i’ll be drafting in the first round yet
my keepers are between
Finley, Bradshaw, Lynch, Stevie Johnson
get to keep 3
im thinking finley, bradshaw for sure, who would you choose between the other 2?
Most likely will be taking another rb depending on draft position (otherwise wr)
@The talented Mr. Dope man: Hmm, tough to tell really. Thinking of guys you could get there and if they’ll an out or not leans me toward saying go for it, but Vick is still a risk and an early 2nd rounder in my opinion. But we don’t win by playing it safe.
@Dakota: I think Stafford has a ton of upside, but his injury risk is real. I have no problem grabbing him in the 9th.
@agarthered: I’d go with Stevie. Lynch could have some value this season, but I’d rather replace him in your draft.

Welcome back Doc and Commenters!
I’ve got a question regarding keepers for this season. I’m not 100% sure on the scoring settings because they aren’t set in stone. But assume 0.5 PPR, 6 points per TD (rushing/receiving), 4 points per TD (passing) and then throw in a couple bonus points here and there. Anyway, here are the keeper worthy players:
Matt Ryan, Romo, Bryant, Austin, Wayne, Moreno
Who do you keep if we keep 2? Who do you keep if we keep 3?
I’m leaning Romo, Moreno and then either Austin or Bryant (but I don’t know in which order I’d keep those last 3).
Thanks Doc! Looking forward to a kickass season!

@Wilsonian: throw Bradshaw in the mix, too, but I personally like Moreno more than him.
@Wilsonian: I’d hold off on Moreno. If the Broncos get DeAngelo Williams he loses a lot fo value and they really don’t seem too keen on him right now. Romo/Wayne and then Austin as long as it’s PPR. I like Bradshaw, but I do worry about him staying healthy. If the Broncos don’t do anything with RB in free agency Moreno would be worthwhile.

12 team keeper: Can only keep two players 1 rounds 1-5 and 1 rounds 6 and on. If you keep a player it in the round that he was ranked on cbs top 200. I have the 10 pick—L. McCoy (1st) Vick (1st) MJD (1st) and Mendenhall (2nd) Do I keep on of the 1st if so which one or do i keep mendenhall in the 2nd and hope to get vick with the 10 pick. I also have Dez as my other keeper. thanks
@Bluety: If it’s PPR I keep McCoy. Non, I keep Mendy

When will fantasy “experts” learn. Michael Vick is a freak athlete but he’s proven that he simply cannot stay healthy for 16 games. Also, his o-line is WEAK this year and that spells bad things for the “dream team”.
