I guess that takes Gradkowski out of it...I will put Palmer in at 21, right behind Cutler'Riffraff said:The QB list was posted after the NFL trade deadline yesterday. There are 3 OAK QBs on the list and none are Carson Palmer. Where are you slotting him?
Dynasty I go with Vern, redraft this year I go Hernandez. I have to see more before I put him ahead of an elite talent like Davis.Hernandez should be #2 on this list. Vernon Davis will never finish higher than him on a point per game basis and is much younger.
I think your right, I started re working the rankings right as he was breaking out and I had not seen enough yet, I'm still not sold that he will be the no doubt feature back when Felix Jones comes back. On the other end though, I think we see Dallas has an elite fantasy RB situation, Which Murray has the talent to exploit.Instead of 27th, I'd rank DeMarco Murray in the same tier as Ryan Mathews right now. Both look like potential top 5 PPR RBs to me.
I'm working on the WRs now. Him and Brandon Lloyd are two peas in a pod to me. I think they both are going to end up around 15-20. Aging guys who still clearly have something left in the tank. The Newton to Smith connection seems to be consistently devastating for opposing defenses and while Smith has been known for his inconsistency in the past, I think carolina has a bright future and a solid offensive situation in place for him. I see Smith flirting with the top 10-15 type numbers in all formats for the next 3 years.Interested in thoughts on Steve Smith (Car). He's having a top 5 season but he's getting up there in age. Still, should have a few more years of great production with Cam at the helm. Interested to see what Smith's perceived value may be (with a comparable WR). Does he have a WR1 or WR2 value in dynasty?
I think the potential value of those four is especially high. Smith has definitely surprised me so far with how good his hands are and how he adjusts to the ball. I will openly admit I underrated Nelson for a long time. Hes a solid player in a prolific offense. But the reason I'm cooling on Finley is the same reason im tempering my enthusiasm for Nelson. Rodgers just spreads the ball around so well IMO that anyone not named Greg Jennings in the long run will not be a consistent fantasy player. Nelson's Production kinda reminds me of Brandon Stokley when Peyton Manning was having his 49 td year. I think Nelson's a good player, but I also think his production is going to fall off eventually. He has 677 yards and 7TDs on 46 targets... Thats an incredible pace to expect him to keep up for the next few years. I also Like Randal Cobb and think his involvement in the offense is only going to grow. I think this is his absolute ceiling with the situation hes in and I think all 4 guys I ranked in front of him have more talent and are in better situations to be a more vocal point of the offense. Most probably think im reaching on Bey, but I still think he'll get a chance at some point.I'm really hesitant to buy into anything the Buffalo Bills are selling right now....other than Fred Jackson. Seems like they are a sinking ship that took advantage of defenses early because of the lack of a training camp. I guess 35 might be a little low, maybe I overlooked him a bit because I want to avoid Buffalo at all costs.I would Avoid him in redraft, but hes a free agent at the end of the year so the real adjustment in his ranking will be based on where he goes.Edit to add: I switched Steve Johnson with Mike Williams. I dont think its really logical for me to rank Williams over Johnson considering I like Johnson's talent more and Mike is in a horrible situation.Thanks for the rankings. Just some random thoughts while reading them...28. Demaryius Thomas WR DEN AGE:2329. Arrelious Benn WR TB AGE:2230. Torrey Smith WR BAL AGE:2231. Darius Heyward-Bey OAK AGE:24Seem very high for these four, especially with Jordy Nelson right behind them. I can't think that either an established or rebuilding team would rather have them than Jordy.Additionally, Stevie Johnson seems rather low at 35, as a 25-year old top WR for his team with a top-10 finish last year and top-20 so far this year.
Is it officially ok to like Arrelious Benn more than Mike Williams?So you admit that that you'd instaclick accept on that trade?BingoThat wouldn't necessarily mean that he doesn't like Benn better personally though. TB Mike has much more trade value and he could always flip him for much better value and then get Benn back cheaply.I actually agree with wisc to some extent. While it's hard to argue that Benn will be the better player right now, I do think they are a lot closer in talent than most think after their respective rookie seasons. If Benn recovers in time for the season I think their numbers will end up being fairly close by season's end.What came first, the chicken or the egg?I bet if someone offered you Tampa Mike for Benn straight up you'd insta-accept with glee.I dont hate him lol....its just that I think Benn is better talent... So my dynasty rankings show the fact that I like Benn more than Williams. If im wrong,im wrong...but from watching what i saw...its at least worth a shotStuck to your guns with your hate for Tampa Mike, I will give you credit for that. What did you see from his film that you disliked? Maybe it's the name you dislike because Big Mike Williams is pretty low too.
This is D. Thomas is one of the guys I look for in every dynasty ranking thread. I personally have him in the upper 40s. almost 20 spots lower than this ranking. I'd trade him for almost every single guy have in tier 7. BUT with that said, he is high on my targets list because outside of the top 40-50, he has probably the most potential of all those guys. Its just such a long hold period, I can't see paying much for him at this point. I'd rather take on a project like Johnny Knox who I feel has similar upside, but comes so much cheaper.Thanks for the rankings. Just some random thoughts while reading them...28.

If Knox can't be successful in Chicago in the Martz offense, what makes you think he has any upside? He doesn't have the size or guts to compete for balls. He isn't getting targets because targeting him leads to INTs. If this happens on an offense tailor made for smaller, finesse, speed receivers, this will happen anywhere. His speed is great, but his possible role/upside in the NFL is limited at best.'Max Power said:I'd rather take on a project like Johnny Knox who I feel has similar upside, but comes so much cheaper.
Thanks for the response, and thanks again for being willing to put out your thoughts and rankings. If everyone had the same opinions, dynasty leagues wouldn't be nearly as fun.That being said, as a Jordy Nelson owner, and a Maryland Terp grad who loves DHB and Torrey Smith, if I were offered all four of those guys for Jordy, I would turn it down pretty quickly. It would be basically using four roster spots in the hopes that, in time, one of them turns out the production of what Nelson is already giving.'wiscstlatlmia said:I think the potential value of those four is especially high.

I can't speak for the OP, but I would venture (and imho, agree) that this is related to D. Thomas' high ranking. Specifically, while Decker has been great this year, once Thomas is healed up and he and Tebow have an offseason to wrok teogether, D. Thomas could become Tebow's #1 WR target.53. Eric Decker WR DEN AGE:24He's the one player who stood out the most to me as being undervalued. He's already performing as a top 20 WR in his 2nd year. I think I would put him in the lower half of tier 7. What causes him to be at 53? Thanks, I enjoy the rankings
Decker has been solid this year, no doubt about it. I think once Demaryius gets his legs back under him, the spot is his to lose. I am a big ten guy and root for the Eric Decker's and Blair White's of the world, Just not sure there staying power in the NFL.I can't speak for the OP, but I would venture (and imho, agree) that this is related to D.

I would say totally based on market value thats where he stands at the moment. I would say right now that the majority of the next 10-15 slots have more value than him right now. But, I prefer Talent over situation for the most part in dynasty and when I project out for the next few years, I think the risk/reward is more than worth it right now to trade guys like Jordy Nelson or Colston for him. All depends on your team though, might give the edge to quite a few of those guys behind him if your competing for a championship.'Max Power said:This is D.

Exactly, I dont necessarily like Knox at this point because hes shown traits that cap his value as a WR.

I value that type of potential very highly over guys that are, at there best, WR2 or WR3s.If Knox can't be successful in Chicago in the Martz offense, what makes you think he has any upside?

Thanks,put him in at 56 right behind Greg Salas and right in front of Laurent RobinsonNo Santana Moss?
First off, we can hardly call this a "martz offense" anymore. When was the last time a Martz Offense was in the bottom third of the league in passing attempts and passing yards? This is a VERY modified version of what Martz typically does. I'll concede Knox's size isn't ideal, and he can appear to play soft at times, but I have no idea where you get targetting him leads to INTs. If there is a stat for that I haven't seen, I'd like to hear about it.Knox isn't getting targetted because the Bears had to make adjustments for the offensive line. Knox is still one of the better deep threats in the game. Once the Bears are able to open up the playbook, Knox will start to shine again. If he moves on in the coming years, I have no doubt, a team in need of a WR to stretch the field will bring him in. I don't think he will ever be a top 15 WR in the NFL, but I do like his chances to spend a couple seasons in the WR 20-30 overall range.If Knox can't be successful in Chicago in the Martz offense, what makes you think he has any upside?

What Traits are caping his value? His size? Hes a third year pro from a small school. He was somewhat of a project from day one. I don't see how you can say you've seen a cap on a third year WR's potential. What have you seen from Thomas in his 1.5 years in the NFL to be so high on him? He has had 1 or less receptions in 9 of his 14 career games. And more than 3 receptions only once. His route running is poor and so far hes had more injuries than startable games. Hes a big body who was a high draft pick. Otherwise his situation and production just aren't there.Exactly, I dont necessarily like Knox at this point because hes shown traits that cap his value as a WR.

Thanks for that link, I missed that story. But it sounds like the most easily correctable thing for a WR.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. He is small. But he also gets pushed around. DBs can jam him. They can more easily jump routes because his presence is small. He's not Steve Smith. He's not built like a bulldog. He's a dachshund. Earl Bennett has taken his place even though he is much less explosive because he is less easily bullied.What Traits are caping his value? His size? Hes a third year pro from a small school. He was somewhat of a project from day one. I don't see how you can say you've seen a cap on a third year WR's potential.
Demaryius is a natural hands catcher IMO and things like route running were expected to be raw when he was coming in. He's also made some pretty nice catches in the small sample size that hes had. He played in a gross college system where he only ran deep and didn't learn many subtitles of the game. The other factor is draft position and opportunity. Demaryius is going to get a shot to be the man in Denver eventually. One of the reasons for me is talent, but the other being because he was a first round pick. I dont think Knox has as much leverage with the Bears to get another opportunity. Maybe he signs somewhere else and has success, I just dont think being optimistic about that happening right now is something I'm gonna do.What Traits are caping his value? His size?

I'll be updating all the position's within the next few days... Lot's of work, quite a bit has changed since the last update.Anyone got some end of the season rankings?
Depending on how you define "proven" that may be true, but Jones actually finished the season with better "per game" production than Green.ETA: I didn't look at the date on the post I quoted so the opinion could have changed since then with Jones finishing so strongly after coming back from injury.I guess Julio doesn't necessarilyj belong in this tier, I dont really think injuries are going to be a long term issue(although they have been this year), but I also dont think hes proven as much as Green to belong to be in the higher tier.
November 15th lol. I'm putting the finishing touches on the newest ones now, have them out within a few hours. Julio comes in at 4 in tier #2 with Fitz and Green.Depending on how you define "proven" that may be true, but Jones actually finished the season with better "per game" production than Green.I guess Julio doesn't necessarilyj belong in this tier, I dont really think injuries are going to be a long term issue(although they have been this year), but I also dont think hes proven as much as Green to belong to be in the higher tier.

Yea, Jones has proven everything that people having been saying about him since his high school days, thats pretty incredible for someone to live up to all that hype, but it really seems like he has. Hes kinda like the LeBron James of the WR position, in terms of physical tools. I think overall Calvin has him beat as a Pure receiver, but Jones athleticism is remarkable. Me and my buddy were watching the Falcons game the other day and we started talking player comparison's. I believe the quote was something like "dude, hes kinda like Terrell Owens...ya know? ...except faster" ...and then a moment of silence followed. Then we burst out laughing. I mean it's a ridiculous thing to say, but its true.I must have been editing my post while you were responding - duly noted.November 15th lol. I'm putting the finishing touches on the newest ones now, have them out within a few hours. Julio comes in at 4 in tier #2 with Fitz and Green.Depending on how you define "proven" that may be true, but Jones actually finished the season with better "per game" production than Green.I guess Julio doesn't necessarilyj belong in this tier, I dont really think injuries are going to be a long term issue(although they have been this year), but I also dont think hes proven as much as Green to belong to be in the higher tier.
Still like Benn as a player, horrible situation, I think the stats will come. What makes you think Decker is making a comeback? yea, they are a not as focused on as the top 50 and above. But why not add them in, all those guys can play.I think Jason Hill has enough talent to rank him at 91. Ranking the lower tiered guys is a bit more difficult because all of their futures are so cloudy. I kinda just ranked them in order of who I thought the most talent was and most of the situations haven't changed since november. I moved up guys like Kyle Williams because he might have a shot at the #2 spot on the 49ers next year, most of the others nothing really changed. But yes, Lightly updated, I agree lol33. Arrelious Benn WR TB AGE:23 - Too high for a guy who's done nothing. 35. Steve Johnson WR BUFF AGE:26 - Ouch, so low. 40. Reggie Wayne WR IND AGE:33 - About right, but screams value 47. Steve Smith WR PHI AGE:27 - Too high for a guy whose career might be over. 63. Laurent Robinson WR DAL AGE:27 - Low even if he's WR3 in Dallas going forward. 68. Eric Decker WR DEN AGE:25 - Low even if Tebow signs a lifetime contract. Should be top 40. 91. Jason Hill WR JAC AGE:27 - Out of the league. Seems some of the bottom tiers are lightly updated.
Not sure what you mean by "comeback". I expect him to be up and down with Tebow at QB. With consistent QBing, he's a great NFL WR2 with good RZ skills. He has the talent to be an NFL WR1 in the right situation. Compare him to Damian Williams who you have #43 or Andre Roberts at 44, and I think Decker's a far better player and his 2012 floor is much higher.What makes you think Decker is making a comeback?
Ahhh ok, got ya. What I mean't by comeback was that he got his spot taken by Demaryius ThomasNot sure what you mean by "comeback". I expect him to be up and down with Tebow at QB.

Yeah, I think there's a lot going on in Denver so I don't know how to interpret that. You could interpret that as "Thomas is much better" or "Tebow likes Thomas a lot more." But I think that's simplistic. I think Denver wants to know what they have in Thomas. They want Thomas to get work in, so he can start to realize his potential. If you tell a bad young QB "we want you to throw it to this guy" then he probably does that. Still don't want to see goose eggs, but I think there's some politics at play here and losing a spot to Thomas doesn't make me discount Decker too much.Ahhh ok, got ya.
