Hopefully this will be OK to post...
Looking at their "default" league scoring, I do not get a lot of their QB rankings.
- Romo #21? TO + Glenn + Crayton + Witten should guarantee decent numbers by themselves.
- Leftwich #11...this I could actually kinda see, as he WAS a top 10 QB before getting hurt last year. But he's always hurt and the team obviously isn't sold on him at all. Like him as a late gamble, but not a starter!
- Bulger #13 is clearly way off to me, but there is an explanation. Apparently, both the PFP projections and the KUBIAK ones always hate the Rams, and they haven't figured out why. Aaron Schatz himself said he'd rank SJax closer to where everyone else has him. That said, however, last year definitely looks like a career season from Bulger, and he could be overrated by most.
- Eli #18. I know a lot of people love to bash him, but he's a much better fantasy QB than that. And the Giants' schedule is easier than in past years.
- Leinart #19. How else is this team going to score? He should clearly rank above Cutler, who plays in an almost opposite style of offense.
- Alex Smith #26. NFC West matchups are fantasy gold, which is part of why they put Gore #1. And he's almost as young as Brady Quinn, AND he finally has a legitimate #1 receiver.
Notice I didn't mention Vince Young at #4? That one actually makes quite a bit of sense to me in typical run-heavy leagues. He went nuts in the second half of last season, and will have to throw more often with the defense hurting and the RBs a total joke. Love the Eric Moulds signing, too - he's still a decent possession WR, which for them is an upgrade.
And then there's Tarvaris Jackson at #15. This comes from two particular bits of the projection: A 1:1 TD-INT ratio (16/16), and 600+ rushing yards. I have no idea how reasonable this actually is - any clue, homers?
I find their rankings for the other positions to be much, much better, and I will definitely pay for them again next year! A lot of the QBs just mystify me, though...
If it's not OK to discuss this content in this much detail, then I apologize and please delete this post!
