Evan Silva's top 150 fantasy football player rankings
Posted on 5/21/14 at 5:06 pm
Posted on 5/21/14 at 5:06 pm
quote:
Round One
1. LeSean McCoy -- Centerpiece of NFL's top rushing attack. 26 in July.
2. Adrian Peterson -- Expect heavy volume as Vikings break in rookie QB.
3. Jamaal Charles -- Splitting hairs between McCoy-AP-Charles at the top.
4. Matt Forte -- Slippery all-purpose bellcow runner in top-three offense.
5. Eddie Lacy -- Fat Eddie's TDs should rise with Aaron Rodgers healthy.
6. Marshawn Lynch -- Including playoffs, has 1,002 carries last three years.
7. Jimmy Graham -- Premier difference maker at fantasy's weakest position.
8. Calvin Johnson -- First, first, third in wideout scoring past three seasons.
9. Dez Bryant -- New pass-happy OC Linehan could vault Dez past Calvin.
10. DeMarco Murray -- Perfect fit for wide-open Linehan O. Will crush in PPR.
11. Demaryius Thomas -- Another serious candidate to be 2014's top WR1.
12. Julio Jones -- Expect big bounce-back season for Falcons skill players.
Round Two
13. A.J. Green -- 14th, fourth, fourth in receiver scoring since entering NFL.
14. Montee Ball -- 4.7 YPC as rookie. Set for 20 touches/game in Peyton O.
15. Le'Veon Bell -- Three-down volume RB with high TD & reception ceilings.
16. Julius Thomas -- Expect Julius' role to further expand post-Eric Decker.
17. Arian Foster -- Good bet to bounce back after injury-shortened season.
18. Zac Stacy -- Bellcow back on St. Louis team committing to run game.
19. Keenan Allen -- Philip Rivers' clear No. 1 target. 100-reception candidate.
20. Jordy Nelson -- My WR7, but top-five upside with Aaron Rodgers healthy.
21. Brandon Marshall -- Jay Cutler continued to force feed Marshall in 2013.
22. Alshon Jeffery -- Room for TD growth after managing 7 in breakout year.
23. Peyton Manning -- Regression likely but still favorite to be 2014's top QB.
24. Aaron Rodgers -- Should be biggest threat to Peyton with health restored.
Round Three
25. Drew Brees -- Top-two fantasy quarterback in five of his last six seasons.
26. Doug Martin -- Lovie Smith is a run-game believer. Martin is his best back.
27. Andre Johnson -- Going on 33, but enough left to flirt with top-10 WR1 stats.
28. Randall Cobb -- Was on pace for 112/1,547/11 before he got hurt last year.
29. C.J. Spiller -- Game breaker averaged 4.62 YPC despite playing hurt in '13.
30. Antonio Brown -- Fairly volume dependent, but should remain 100-catch guy.
31. Giovani Bernard -- Will get vultured at goal line, but touch total should soar.
32. Rob Gronkowski -- Will rise or fall in these rankings based on health reports.
33. Pierre Garcon -- Receptions will drop but TDs (5) & YPR (11.9) should rise.
34. Larry Fitzgerald -- Has lost upside for various reasons, but still strong WR2.
35. Matthew Stafford -- May lose volume post-Linehan, but should gain efficiency.
36. Ryan Mathews -- Chargers seem intent on limiting usage to keep him fresh.

No

Murray put in work last year. Stayed healthy for 14/16 games I believe. He might have only missed 1.
Still, he's a risk.

I wouldn't take Eddy Lacey or Murray in the 1st round.
Not Montee Ball or Bell, or Stacy, or Jordy in the 2nd. Foster questionable, but probably too early.

I'm in the minority (I think) in PPR leagues. I try to go WR early (like Mega, Dez, Julio) - unless i can get a back that catches a lot like (Forte or Charles)
Not too big on running backs anymore.

I'm saying Brandon Marshall will lead league in receptions, yards, and TDS. I love him this year.

^^^ just looking at that jumbled mess of players makes me shake my head.
becoming a watered down version of what it once was, yes?
Used to a game where RBs were you foundation. Now, there are like 3 RBs who won't have to share time in one way or another. shite, at the turn of the century, you had like 15 guys toting the ball 300+ times a game. There was 1 or 2 last season.
Fine, I will build a team off of WRs. But no, all these teams are now airing it out so much, most of them will have 2 WRs putting up 1k yard seasons or 10+ TDs.
QBs are just dumb. Scoring 40 points a game and shite.
The only position that intrigues me is TE. We are actually witnessing some all time greats at the position, guys who stand head and shoulders above the rest.
Air it out offenses are killing fantasy football. It makes for so much parity at each position. Any retard can blindly draft a team and hit on players at every position and find their way into a championship. You used to have to have a clue. Building a championship roster was an art and took research.
basically, i just can't even

Julio Jones
He was top 2 before his surgery last season. Look at Ryan's stats with Julio then without. It's a huge drop off.
Posted on 5/21/14 at 10:04 pm to tzimme4
He's a great fantasy player no doubt. It doesn't change the fact he's coming off a major injury... which makes him a riskier first round option. Too rich for my blood given these rankings. Now if this were during the preseason, where he shows he's fully healthy, in a PPR, I can see it but I still couldn't do it.

The top 3 rbs in the league > top 3 wrs in fantasy value
Top 5 rbs and top 5 wrs are a close call
Top 10 wrs >>>> top 10 rbs in fantasy value.
The league is changing. Those stuck in the old school fantasy model will get smoked. You need to try to get 1 great rb still, but wr depth is more important at this point. They score more often and rack up more yards.
I like the obvious rbs, but I'll take 3 wrs before I touch an option like spiller.

anyone have an auction value list?
Posted on 5/23/14 at 6:41 pm to GynoSandberg
I love when people complain about change. "Get off my lawn!!" List is fine, this is how people are mocking (too early), like WR's or not. I think Bell will lose touches to Blount and the PIT offense will throw even more. He will disappoint in fantasy IMO

2 Top 5 WRs, stud RB, and an Andrew Luck, Jay Culter, Tony Romo or Matt Ryan at QB is deadly in Auction Leagues.
D Thomas/D Bryant/B Marshall/J Jones
McCoy/Forte possibly Lacy
Any of those QBs will get you to the playoffs. The rest of your team will get you further.

Fantasy Baseball/Basketball are more rewarding imo
