Top 150 For 2011 Fantasy Football
August 13, 2011
Category: 2011 Fantasy Football, 2011 Fantasy Football Rankings, Fantasy Football Daily Notes
(EDIT: Here are the most up to date rankings –> Auction Values, Tiers and Cheat Sheet for PPR – http://su.pr/A17UuB NonPPR – http://su.pr/9DEgIM)
Overall Rankings are probably less accurate than tiers because as your drafts go along what you need won’t always correspond with the rankings, but I know that some people like overall rankings and having lists like this just seems right for some reason! So here are the top 150 for Non-PPR. I was going to do 200, but the end of the rankings are so volatile that it seemed like a disservice to even put them up. I change the bottom of these rankings more often than a babies diaper! Bah-doomp-gross.
You can see some blurbs on the top fitty here.

Great rankings. One thing that surprised me was how low Malcolm Floyd was. At the lowest I see him around 78, similar value to Meachem.
August 14th, 2011 at 8:26 am
Not concerned about the loss of Vonta Leach for Foster?
August 14th, 2011 at 10:27 am
Using a little spreadsheet crunching, here are the guys you think are going on average two or more rounds too early:
Daniel Thomas
Sam Bradford
Michael Crabtree
Joe Flacco
Mike Williams (SEA)
Jeremy Maclin
Cedric Benson
Ryan Mathews
Zach J. Miller
Marques Colston
Matt Cassel
Johnny Knox
Jonathan Stewart
BenJarvus Green-Ellis
I agree with everyone on this list except Daniel Thomas.

Any news about the RB situation in Cincy? I don’t see why they keep relying on Benson
August 14th, 2011 at 12:58 pm
i’m in a 14 team league that overvalues qbs – if you want a decent qb you would have to take eli/stafford/freeman in round 6 at latest. what would your draft strategy be (in terms of getting a good qb) in a league like this?
August 14th, 2011 at 1:55 pm
Just drafted last night. How did I do and what moves do I need to make to win my league? PPR league, qb, wr, wr, rb, rb, wr/rb, te, k, def.
In order of my selection ( btw this is a keeper league as you should notice by the steals and deals. ) So many guys got kept, it was insane.
Roddy White
Matt Forte
Brandon Marshall
Jahvid Best
Kenny Britt
Felix Jones
Vincent Jackson – K
Owen Daniels
Eli Manning
Darren McFadden – K
Mike Thomas
Danny Amendola
Michael Vick – K
Zach Miller
Kyle Orton
Nate Burleson
My buddy, who had keepers of Arian Foster as a 10th rounder, and Ray Rice as a 7th, also got the #1 pick this year…and took Adrian of course!! He is offering me either Arian or Ray Rice for my Roddy White. I’m very hesitant to do it, 1. Because he is my clear cut stud WR and 2. Because he is loaded either way, but I’m not sure I want to hand him a stud WR as well. But he’ll probably end up dealing one of his RBs to someone else if I pass up on it, because his WRs are Steve Smith x2, AJ Green, Mike Williams, Driver, etc.
August 14th, 2011 at 1:59 pm
Sorry, Ray Rice cost him a 3rd rounder this year, and Foster was a 8th for him.
@Berserc: looks about right.
@Tom the Niner: Benson is the guy.
@abe: I’d take Romo in the third.
August 14th, 2011 at 3:14 pm
Justin Forsett at 113, really?
@djbooyah20: Well, it looks very solid. As far as the trade, it is hard to pass up Arian for Roddy. You drop at WR talent pretty far from White to BMarsh, but do go from Best to Foster. If you could trade McFadden for a top receiver maybe? It’s not cut and dry by any means.
August 14th, 2011 at 4:10 pm
Keeper league, keep two (lose first two picks)
Calvin Johnson
Roddy White
Frank Gore
I like Johnson/White the best of the 3 (as do you) – tired of having Gore and his 12-games-a-year stats. Would you WR/WR at the “top” of the draft?
Everyone else is keeping RB & QB, so it seems I may be forced to keep Gore just to protect some value at the position. Thoughts?
August 14th, 2011 at 5:17 pm
Hey Doc,
I’m forced to keep Mendy, Wallace and Bradshaw. Luckily with the first pick I can get DMC, Austin or Romo. Do I ride your Romo love or take the safe DMC pick?
Thanks as always, great stuff
August 14th, 2011 at 5:32 pm
Sorry it’s a 12 man standard league
@Dingo: I’d go DMC.
@JTin: I’d feel fine with WR/WR there. If your options are insanely slim at RB like you said Gore might be the safer bet, but I think I’d just risk it.
August 14th, 2011 at 9:04 pm
14 team league
Standard yahoo scoring except we only start 2 WR and have a flex spot W/R/T
If the first round fell where the top Players on the board are as follows who do you take:
RB: Gore, Forte, MJD, Greene,
WR: CJ, Roddy, Fitz, Nicks
QB: Brees, Brady, Rivers
What do you take at the turn? Ive been taking MJD and a top WR that is left from the group above. Thoughts?
August 14th, 2011 at 9:08 pm
forgot to say this was for the 13th and 15th pick
August 14th, 2011 at 9:15 pm
If I go WR/WR with my two keepers…and I have the 12th pick…I’m projecting my RB1 will be in the S.Greene/J.Best level. I’m targeting Romo with one pick at that turn (36/37)…so would you rather have:
1. Cal.Johnson + R.white + romo + J.Best. Or
2. Cal.Johnson + f.gore + romo+ best avail rb/WR?
My projections say that gore + best + WR2 in the 2nd scenario is a better pair than r.white + best + RB2 in the former….
@John: MJD finally practiced fully, but I’m still worried about him for the season, but he of course has the upside of a top 5 back. I’d probably rather go with a receiver at 13 and then Forte/Gore if they are there.
In PPR I’d go White, in non-PPR I’d go Gore
August 16th, 2011 at 7:52 am
Who do you like picking #6 in a 12-team, non-PPR league- Mendy, McCoy, Turner, or Andre?
@Coteman: I like Mendy there.
August 17th, 2011 at 10:37 am
Hi Doc,
Starting 1QB (6pts per TD), 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1 WR/TE, 1 DEF and 1K standard league. Please help me by looking at team roster:
Joe Flaco, Matt Cassel, Jason Campbell
Matt Forte, Mark Ingram, M. Lynhch, Willis McGahee, Delone Carter
Calvin Johnson, Steve Johnson, Kenny Britt, Jacoby Ford
Jared Cook, Fred Davis
Garrett Hartley and Atlanta D
Should I stay put or make trade like below:
Steve Johnson and M. Lynch for R. White or
Steve Johnson and Matt Forte for Darren McFadden
@Charlie: I would make that first trade, but not the second. I’d like to upgrade at QB if at all possible.
August 27th, 2011 at 11:23 pm
CJ4.24 on the list at 4 and 8.
September 1st, 2011 at 11:24 am
You have Tim Hightower at 89 & 105
