A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Can’t wait.
Bart Scott’s famous two-word response to a postgame question
a couple of seasons ago received a ton of airplay, but it accurately
describes my attitude for this season. For me, there are few times
during the year I look forward to more than my money league drafts.
Being on the cusp of building a championship team and outwitting
your opponents is a feeling hard to describe, but one worth experiencing
for the sheer excitement and exhilaration it can produce.
In my experience, there is no excuse to be anything but the most-prepared
owner in the draft room. Surprises will always happen when owners
have 60-90 seconds to make their selections, but a prepared owner
should always be looking at his/her draft board, gauging which players
will be available to him/her at least 3-5 picks ahead of their selection.
By the time they are on the clock, an owner’s main struggle
should be choosing between 2-3 players who may have fallen and/or
how it affects each subsequent they make. Didn’t expect Maurice
Jones-Drew’s holdout or Trent Richardson’s injuries
to knock them in the third round? Well, rather than bypass that
value because they weren’t part of your predraft plan, choose
them and make every effort to highlight Rashad Jennings and Montario
Hardesty on your draft sheet so you will be reminded to value them
a few rounds later. Even though many fantasy owners play just for
bragging rights, the goal for all serious players is the same: win.
In my experience, winning starts in the offseason with preparation,
continues at the draft when you can calmly select value over need,
which carries over nicely into the season when it is time to make
a trade or two. Ideally, all of this lands you firmly in the playoffs
with an above-average chance to claim the league championship.
As I have mentioned many times before over the years, "value"
in drafting is key. Need has to outweigh value on occasion, but
for the most part, it can't hurt to take the best player left on
the board. It is understanding the delicate balance of realizing
a player is too good to pass up and knowing exactly when the last
spot in your likely Week 1 starting lineup needs to be filled that
often separates the great drafters from the very good ones. And
it is with both need and value in mind that I present my "Big
Board" in an attempt to earn both the respect and envy of your
fellow fantasy leaguers in 2012.
Before I get to the boards, though, I would like to remind each
of my readers about a few key points:
1) my “Big Boards” are not going to look like many other
draft boards you see. My method of evaluating fantasy players relies
heavily on consistency and matchups, not on overall fantasy point
total projections. All too often, fantasy owners and even the so-called
"experts" get hung up by the final numbers. Don't get
me wrong, I want all my players to have 300+ points at the end of
the season. But as the old saying goes, "It's not about the
destination, it's about the journey"; if my RB1 gives me seven
spectacular performances along with six duds during the regular
season, there's a fairly decent chance I may end up 7-6. I don’t
want that and neither should you.
2) I will push a player down my board
if feel he is a health risk or if I simply don’t/can’t
trust him. If you take the time to break down each position
I provide below, you will notice that I don’t follow the point
totals or averages to a tee. (Think of the average and value I provide
for each player as a starting point for my rankings.) Outside of
trust issues, I will push a player down my board – despite
a higher average or overall point total – if I believe he
will simply be less consistent throughout the season or if his playoff
schedule appears treacherous.
3) I would like to direct your attention to one other significant
change from seasons past. If a player is a moderate risk –
be it due to holdout, injury, off-field, etc. – your will
see a 
next his name. If I feel a player is a severe risk, your will see
a 
next to his name. While I feel like I have accounted for each player’s
“risk” with their spot on the Big Board, you may be
more or less inclined to deal with that risk than I am. This is
just another way of helping you take a look at the board and quickly
identifying how many players are relatively decent bets to frustrate
you at some point this season.
Note:
At least for this first set of Big Boards, I have chosen to stop
at 150 players. Next week, I will add the kickers and defenses while
also expanding the number of ranked players. In the final set of
Big Boards in two weeks, I will add even more players.
Let’s revisit the color-coding system before we start:
Red – A very difficult
matchup. For lower-level players, a red matchup means they should
not be used in fantasy that week. For a second- or third-tier player,
drop your expectations for them at least one grade that week (i.e.
from WR2 to WR3). For elite players, expect them to perform one
level lower than their usual status (i.e. RB1 performs like a RB2).
Yellow – Keep expectations
fairly low in this matchup. For lower-level players, a yellow
matchup is a borderline start at best. For a second- or third-tier
player, they can probably overcome the matchup if things fall
right. For the elite players, expect slightly better than average
production.
Grey – Basically, this matchup
is one that could go either way. In some cases, I just don’t
feel like I have a good feel yet for this defense. Generally speaking,
these matchups are winnable matchups for all levels of players.
Green – It doesn’t
get much better than this. For non-elite players, the stage is
basically set for said player to exploit the matchup. For the
elite player, this matchup should produce special numbers..
Key:
OVR – Overall Rank
PR – Position Rank
FPts – Fantasy points scored
FPts/ G – Fantasy points/game
Value - Read *** below
***In short, the value that you will see below is based on the VORP
(Value Over Replacement Player) concept for a two-RB, two-WR league
with a flex spot, which allows me to essentially compare apples
and oranges. At QB and TE, the value reflects the standard deviation
from the 12th player at the position – the last starting-caliber
player at the position. At RB and WR, the standard deviation is
based on the 36th player at the position. Unlike
last year, I make no assumptions about what position owners would
prefer at their flex spot. One last note to mention regarding
the values – numbers that are bolded reflect positive values
while the italicized numbers are essentially negative. (For the
more statistically-inclined, the former values are on the right
side of the bell curve while the latter values are on the left side.)
Here is the scoring
system that I used to rank the players in the PPR format (the
non-PPR board below will use the same scoring minus the full-point
point-per-reception):
One final note: Over the next
week, I will be “quality controlling” my projections
(basically double-checking my numbers, such as not having one
defense projected to intercept 40 passes while another has just
five), so this week’s Big Boards may look dramatically different
– particularly at the bottom – in two weeks than they
currently do. As with all things that are worth doing, this process
takes time and needs to be constantly revised as more information
about depth charts and injuries becomes available. What I can
assure you is that my final set of Big Boards will be one of the
most comprehensive draft-day tools anyone will have at their disposal.
Top 25: This is the shallowest
crop of fantasy RB1s I can ever remember in all of my years of playing
fantasy football. After the top three RBs (Arian
Foster, Ray
Rice, LeSean
McCoy), there are countless question marks. It is so bad, in
fact, that I have Darren
Sproles listed inside the top 10 (not just at his position,
but overall). That is in no way meant to slight the little guy,
but backs projected to see less than 200 offensive touches just
don’t usually warrant first-round consideration. With that said,
I plan on sticking to my own advice this year about taking as many
low-risk, high-reward players in the early rounds and he embodies
that as much as anybody once we get past the first 7-8 picks.
One strategy for those owners at the end of the first round who
want to minimize risk is to choose a “high-risk” player like Darren
McFadden or Ryan
Mathews and follow it up with a “safe” pick like Steven
Jackson or Matt
Forte (or even Sproles). While assuming risk that early is not
optimal, I don’t mind taking on that risk if I can basically treat
him as my RB2. The only thing that might bother me more than taking
a high-risk back as my RB1 would be to let him fall to the Foster-Rice-McCoy
owner and have him basically set that team up for the overall points
title less than two rounds into the draft.
Staying with the Saints, I am ridiculously high on Jimmy
Graham this season. Coming off a 99-catch breakout season in
2011, it would have been easy for the former shot-blocking specialist
for the University of Miami (FL) basketball team to be satisfied.
However, the New Orleans Times-Picayune suggested Graham was the
team’s MVP of offseason drills and WWLTV.com stated that he looked
more imposing during minicamp. While the same rules we have about
offseason hyperbole belong here, the second article hints that last
year may have just been the tip of the iceberg for him: “According
to ProFootballFocus.com, Graham was the second-best tight end of
those who saw 60 percent of their teams’ snaps, finishing the season
with a plus-17.3 rating. He was No. 2 despite seeing only the 19th-most
snaps for a tight end in that category. He was targeted more times
-146 - than any other tight end, including 25 more than New England’s
Rob
Gronkowski. And his 458 yards after contact, according to PFF,
were fourth-most by a tight end.” I’m not sure I’ve ever said this
about a fantasy TE before, but here goes: if Graham somehow makes
it to the second round of your drafts, take him. Chances are he
will justify that draft spot, especially considering all the question
marks at running back.
Let’s wrap up this part of the discussion with a trio of first-round
talents at RB that have been bumped down a round due to their track
record for durability and/or recent injuries. Before I start, let
me address a fourth injury-plagued player I chose to leave in the
first round – DeMarco
Murray. While his injury history rivals some of the players
we’ll discuss here in a bit, take a look at the “reasons to dislike
Murray” portion of my “Top 20 Rookies For 2011 (11-20)” piece from
last year. To get to the point, it certainly seems after reviewing
his injuries (including his season-ending ankle injury last year),
he has been more unlucky than anything. After all, none of his injuries
appear to be chronic. And in my mind, that’s a pretty big deal because
backs tend to run smarter as they get older. What I do know about
Murray is this: after the first four RBs come off the board, Murray
is one of the better bets at the position to secure 18-20 (or more)
touches per week that is currently healthy and in an explosive offense.
The fact the team wants to use him more as a receiver out of the
backfield only enhances his value.
Now to the three backs I referenced above – Mathews, McFadden and
rookie Trent
Richardson. Of the three, Mathews is the closest to the Murray
description above. Although it does seem he is just more predisposed
to injury than any other RB, Mathews’ broken clavicle on his first
preseason carry is just pathetic luck. I expect he’ll be ready to
roll and be a top-five fantasy RB shortly upon his return, likely
in Week 2 or 3. On the other hand, McFadden’s lower-body injuries
are concerning. Certainly, last year’s Lisfranc injury was unavoidable,
but it is bad when owners go into a season hoping a player will
only miss three games due to his hamstrings. Despite being a top-five
RB talent, he needs to be considered a second-rounder simply because
he hasn’t shown the ability to carry his fantasy team for an entire
season yet. Although Richardson’s left knee is the least concerning
injury of the three mentioned here, his 2012 upside is also lower
than the first two players mentioned. However, owners do have a
right to be concerned since this is his second knee scope in six
months.
26-50: Maurice
Jones-Drew’s holdout is now starting to reach a point where
owners need to prepare for the worst. Both team and player appear
to have their heels dug in pretty deep regarding their bargaining
position. Perhaps if he were to report this week, I might be willing
to move him up about 10 spots. But since he was already likely to
lose a fairly significant part of his 2011 workload to Rashad
Jennings anyway, I wasn’t exactly prepared to label him a first
rounder regardless of whether he was in camp the whole time or not.
Let’s get to two other sure-to-be controversial rankings I have
here, Marshawn
Lynch and Adrian
Peterson. I acknowledge that it is sacrilegious to place a healthy
feature back like Lynch so low, but I have no faith in him being
able to repeat his second half from last season nor do I believe
he is the kind of player that will run with the same ferocity now
that he has his long-term contract in hand. Another key factor in
his low ranking is that Seattle now has a highly combustible cast
of characters that could carry owners to fantasy titles if they
max out or destroy the team midway through the season if players
decided “me” is more important than “we”. If there is a potential
saving grace for Lynch, I suppose it might be his ability to contribute
as a receiver, something Matt
Flynn or rookie Russell
Wilson should take advantage of more often than Tarvaris
Jackson did in 2011.
As for Peterson, I’m going to need to see significant carries from
him this preseason to believe in him as a consistent fantasy asset
any time before the Vikings’ bye week. Regardless of the wonders
of modern medicine and Peterson’s quick-healing powers, I have a
hard time wrapping my mind around a player being able to return
from two ligament tears (ACL and MCL) and severe meniscus damage,
only to take the field and serve as his team’s lead back less than
nine months later. I feel like I am being extremely generous in
suggesting he’ll be a lead back at all in 2012.
How about one more controversial ranking? I absolutely love the
fantasy ceiling for Peyton
Hillis in Kansas City. As a much more able and all-around threat
than Thomas
Jones was in the “power role” in this offense, Hillis should
be a fixture at the goal line and a regular check-down option in
the passing game. Certainly, it is difficult to convince owners
that one team could actually have two running backs worthy of higher-end
RB2 status in fantasy, but in a day and age where players at the
position are seeing fewer touches, the Chiefs may have two backs
push 250.
51-100: If there
is one player who stands a great chance at moving up the PPR board
over the next couple of weeks, it is Reggie
Bush. Daniel
Thomas strikes me as such a good fit in the new offense but
appears to be stuck in neutral and it is hard to understand why
– suggesting there is a deeper issue with him and/or his work ethic.
In regards to Bush, I don’t foresee another 1,000 yards rushing.
With that said, he should challenge for the team lead in receptions
(along with Davone
Bess), so his PPR value should not drop all that much from last
season. The question – as it always is with him – is his ability
to stay on the field and play a full schedule.
The quarterback value in this range (more specifically the 60-84
range) is incredible. When the case can be made that the back half
of the QB1s in the league could all post 4,000+ yards and push 30
TDs, you have what we call a deep class. Depending on the matchups
in a given week, I would have no problem pitting Tony
Romo, Peyton Manning or Eli
Manning against the top half of QB1s. While the consistent excellence
of Aaron
Rodgers or Tom
Brady wins out over the course of the season, I’d venture a
guess that out of 15 games, the Romo-Manning-Manning group could
easily match the top half in 11-12 games. I’m slightly less confident
about Philip
Rivers and Jay
Cutler, but tend to believe a healthy Antonio
Gates sparks a rebound season for the former. As for the latter,
it’s just a matter of him proving he is ready to take the next step
into elite status; he has the weapons.
Little known fact: Jake
Locker threw exactly four touchdown passes last season and Nate
Washington was on the receiving end of each and every one. While
Kendall
Wright is getting praised for his performance in Titans’ camp
(and rightfully so), do not be so quick to dismiss Washington as
a player who will just fall by the wayside as Wright continues to
improve and Kenny
Britt is finally able to rejoin the team. I don’t think he’ll
match the standard he set last season, but with Tennessee likely
to be more pass-heavy in 2012, I’m not sure Washington falls too
far off that pace either.
101-150:
It literally pains me to put Kyle
Rudolph this low. There’s no doubt in my mind that he has 70-catch
and 900-yard upside in his current circumstance, but I personally
cannot trust OC Bill Musgrave enough to recommend him as a fantasy
TE1. Christian
Ponder is going to be a vastly underrated high-upside fantasy
QB2 (when healthy) and he cannot stop raving about Rudolph’s hands,
so it is clear he will have opportunity and the attention of his
quarterback. It will also help his cause that Percy
Harvin will be able to deflect some of the defensive attention
he might otherwise receive. Either way, I cannot bring myself to
rank (or project) him any higher simply because of Musgrave. If
you feel differently about the play-calling (or don’t care about
it) and want to focus more on talent, then draft him as a top-10
fantasy TE; he has that kind of ability.
It is in this group of 50 players we have a number of players with
real high risk-reward potential. We already know about the RB situation
in Detroit, where Jahvid
Best will either the Lions’ version of Reggie Bush or another
talented player who had his career ended prematurely by concussions.
We also Mikel LeShoure, who will either be the short-yardage and
clock-killing hammer Detroit hoped he would be or just another injury/off-field
incident waiting to happen. And finally, we have Kevin
Smith – who has gone from the poster child of injury-riddled
running backs to the healthiest fantasy RB option the team has.
Do you want more risk-reward players? Sure you do. But let’s be
honest: Tennessee and Seattle do not know what to expect from Britt
and Sidney
Rice, respectively. Their talent alone makes them worthy of
mid-round consideration, but their risk is only palatable after
Round 10 in my opinion, which is why they are ranked after No. 120.
But instead of focusing on two extreme question marks, let’s
focus on the most interesting subject more and more fantasy owners
have given up trying to understand – the Washington Redskins’
RB situation. Mike Shanahan is now apparently under the belief
that Roy
Helu cannot handle the full load and, thus, has been rolling
with Evan
Royster as his first-team back while Tim
Hightower attempts to make his return from an ACL tear. My
best advice for Washington RBs – since there is so much fantasy
potential in that backfield – is to make sure you have three RBs
on your roster you believe in first before considering any Redskin
runner. Despite the listing of Hightower atop the depth chart,
Royster is getting most of the first-team reps while the Redskins
seem to believe Helu is more of a third-down, change-of-pace RB.
Based on talent, Helu is the player to own, but we all know Shanahan’s
running philosophy by now: his zone-blocking schemes are never
the problem, so if one back isn’t getting it done, it is on to
the next one. I have Helu generously listed as the 35th-best RB,
but that is really only because I have no reason to believe any
of the runners behind him have his kind of fantasy upside.
Since I will be spending each of the next two weeks discussing rising
and falling stock on my Big Boards, I will keep the non-PPR section
shorter and relevant to the players most directly affected by the
change in format. I will try to provide insight on players that
I feel are rated much higher/lower than I expected.
Top
25: New Bucs HC Greg Schiano (or more accurately, new OC
Mike Sullivan) may become the new best friends of fantasy owners
this season. Why? Because there is a distinct possibility that two
Tampa Bay running backs are every-week starters (if your league
uses a flex position) in fantasy, just one year after it was difficult
to say that about one. All offseason, the Bucs have been promoting
their plan to be a physical running team and have backed it up with
some of its additions, most notably LG Carl Nicks and rookie RB
Doug
Martin. Based on how I saw him run in the first preseason game,
LeGarrette
Blount deserves credit for buying in to the new regime and looking
a lot more like he did in 2010 as opposed to the 2011 version of
himself. But I’m more convinced by the day that Martin will earn
about a 60:40 split of the workload in the backfield on a team that
will try to get its running backs well over 400 touches. As my projections
suggested a couple of weeks ago, I expect the Bucs will rush for
over 2,000 yards as a team. As the all-purpose back in that kind
of attack with no injury concerns, it is time to start thinking
about Martin as a darkhorse fantasy RB1 candidate.
Here’s a phrase I never thought I would say: Larry
Fitzgerald scares me. Here’s why: I don’t want to play against
the fantasy team he ends up with in my leagues, but I’m not entirely
sure how much I want him on my team either. And it is too bad because
with competent quarterbacking, he is the best bet to rival Calvin
Johnson as the top fantasy receiver year in and year out. But
my issue with him (or his situation, to be more accurate) is that
Arizona’s offensive line has been horrible this preseason, which
is just a continuation of the theme that has played out for years
now in the desert. Going back to his Eagle days, Kevin
Kolb already had a predisposition to leave the pocket early
and it has only gotten worse since he knows he can’t trust his line
in Arizona. John
Skelton is less accurate and less mobile, which goes a long
way in explaining why the two are “competing” for the right to force
the ball to Fitzgerald.
26-50:
Apparently, it must be in my nature to go against the grain. And
there is no doubt that I have done just that in this initial Big
Board by placing A.J.
Green in the fourth round. I suppose the argument can be made
that any running back with the inside track to 200 touches and a
pulse should go in the first three rounds, but big-play receivers
are highly sought after in this format. In retrospect, the biggest
issues I have with the Bengals’ second-year receiver are his lack
of advantageous matchups, the conservative nature of the offense
and Andy
Dalton. As savvy as Dalton is, he is the second-worst quarterback
for any receiver ranked ahead of him (Kolb-Skelton win that prize
for holding back Fitzgerald). Furthermore, OC Jay Gruden doesn’t
appear to be willing to change much of anything in terms of opening
up the offense. While the lack of a surefire WR2 opposite Green
probably makes that decision easier for Gruden, I’m not sure his
devotion to the running game is the answer with the unexciting BenJarvus
Green-Ellis and Bernard
Scott duo.
I’m going to make one simple plea to fantasy owners: if you choose
to pass up Aaron
Rodgers, Tom
Brady and Drew
Brees in Rounds 1 and 2, do yourself a favor and grab Matt
Ryan. For some reason, Ryan has been seen as a disappointment
through four seasons despite the fact he has missed just two games
to begin his four-year career and improved his fantasy numbers each
season. People looking for an excuse as to why he isn’t “elite”
yet need to understand that conservative ex-OC Mike Mularkey probably
held his numbers back more than anything. (Only twice in Mularkey’s
10 years of coaching have his charges finished inside the top 10
in passing yards while all four of his Atlanta offenses finished
in the top 11 in rushing attempts.) As my No. 29 overall player
on both boards, I feel I am probably projecting him at his floor.
If you still don’t like Ryan for some reason, look at it this way:
do you believe Roddy
White and Julio
Jones will each finish as top 10 receivers this year and Tony
Gonzalez is still a top 10 fantasy tight end? Frankly, it wouldn’t
surprise me at all if Ryan approaches Matthew
Stafford’s numbers from last season in 2012.
51-100:
It’s not a PPR vs. non-PPR discussion unless we mention Michael
Turner and Shonn
Greene. Yes, I realize that Turner is inside the top 50, but
since the two are so stylistically similar, it is hard not to discuss
the two as a pair. I moved Turner up about a round over the weekend
after taking another look at his year-end schedule. (Remember, the
plan is to keep him fresh for the end of the season, just the time
owners want their backs to pick it up…) While his workload will
drop dramatically in favor of Jacquizz
Rodgers and the passing game, Turner will not be abandoned either.
He is still the clear goal-line option for the team and figures
to be more efficient with all the spread looks Atlanta figures to
incorporate.
Lo and behold, another year is upon us and I’m still not thrilled
about Greene. When a back with his potential workload is ranked
this low, it speaks to a number of weaknesses. In Greene’s case,
his shortcomings are a lack of big-play ability, poor offensive
line play and an overall lack of contribution to the passing game.
Throw in Tim
Tebow as the heavy favorite for short-yardage scores and you
have a plodding back behind an average offensive line that will
probably lose third-down work to Bilal
Powell and goal-line carries to his backup quarterback. If you
are drafting Greene, you are doing it because he has a great chance
to be among the league leaders in rushing attempts. Otherwise, spare
yourself the agony and draft a higher-upside player.
Oh, what to do with Ben
Tate. Foster’s owners from last season already know his value.
And for those owners, he probably needs to be considered the top
RB3 and should be drafted as such. However, what is Tate’s stand-alone
value? In the 13 games that Foster started, Tate rushed for 641
yards and three TDs. According to my analysis last season, Houston
had mostly a neutral schedule last season and the Foster-Tate duo
pretty much dominated it; this season’s matchups feature zero reds
and are particularly favorable at the end. The Texans won’t be able
to answer the question marks on the right side of their offensive
line until the start of the season, but a team with a win-now mentality
that relies on running the ball would not have decided to promote
from within if it didn’t believe in its replacements – RG Antoine
Caldwell and RT Rashad Butler. While Houston can’t expect its new
duo to match the level of play it received from RT Eric Winston
and RG Mike Brisiel initially, it may catch a break from its schedule.
Tate could actually enjoy slightly more consistency in fantasy this
season and finish with worse year-end numbers if Foster stays healthy.
Either way, this is a ground game worth investing in once again.
101-150: Perhaps the biggest
surprise on both lists is the low ranking for Ben
Roethlisberger. Although new OC Todd Haley has stated he wants
to focus on high-percentage passes in his offense, the Steelers
have a fair amount of big-play potential in their attack. The problem
is the most explosive element – Mike
Wallace – is nowhere to be found as we enter the second week
of the preseason. “Big Ben” is already a low-end fantasy QB1 with
a full complement of weapons, but expecting him to play at that
level without Wallace – and to a lesser extent, Rashard
Mendenhall – is asking too much. As productive as Antonio
Brown was last season, he cannot be asked to carry the passing
game in Wallace’s absence. And while Brown is probably capable of
posting serviceable fantasy WR2 numbers in Wallace’s absence, I
highly doubt Pittsburgh wants to find out as Emmanuel Sanders is
way too prone to injury and Jerricho
Cotchery is best suited to spot duty at this point of his career.
Wallace is the one player on this offense that scares defenses,
so until he returns, Roethlisberger and the entire offense takes
a huge hit in fantasy.
One of my favorite under-the-radar picks for this season is Colts
RB Vick
Ballard. While many folks tuned into the Indianapolis-St. Louis
preseason game over the weekend solely to watch Andrew
Luck, I wanted to do that plus check out if I gather more evidence
to support my initial feeling regarding the Mississippi State rookie.
To say the least, I was impressed, especially with his lateral quickness
– something that we didn’t see from him a lot in college. While
the team has backed Donald
Brown all offseason as a “three-down back” and a player that
“deserves to be the No. 1 right now”, he has mostly shown himself
to be a big-play back that isn’t particularly durable or a good
fit in the smash-mouth offense new HC Chuck Pagano wants. This still
has all the makings of a committee attack, but Ballard has a great
shot at leading this team in rushing in my opinion. Because I expect
Mewelde
Moore to see the majority of the team’s third-down opportunities,
Brown may get squeezed as a player some fantasy owners will be targeting
as a potential mid-round sleeper pick.
