LHUCKS' '05 Rankings (1 Viewer)

[LHUCKS]

A decent number of folks have PM'd me and emailed me for my rankings over the past couple of months so I'll be posting them here as promised.



Rankings are based on the following:

1) Head to Head

2) Cheatsheet Rankings, not projection rankings. This is the likely order that I'd draft players in a vacuum, not the order in which I project their totals.(I'll explain later in this thread.)

3) FBG Scoring

4) Shark League(i.e. lopsided trades unlikely to be made)

5) Rosters 22 deep

6) 4 Teams make the playoffs based on record, playoff weeks 15-16.

Burelson?

Thanks fellas. I'm manually transferring from my excel files and losing some along the way....I haven't reconciled the two lists yet and probably will not until tomorrow.

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Edge, Harrison too high.Knowing Gates will miss a game, it's hard to have him in a tier all by himself.Other than that, looks fine to me.What made you decide to rank Lelie over Rod suddenly, I thought you had Rod higher before?

A lot of the guys you have as "too HIGH" are risk/reward type players which doesn't surprise me. I draft very agressively in H2H with my backups because I heavily favor upside.

 

[LHUCKS]

Edge, Harrison too high.

What made you decide to rank Lelie over Rod suddenly, I thought you had Rod higher before?

Remember these rankings are not based on year end total projections. They are based on where I'd draft players in general H2H circumstances. Thus an upside guy like Lelie I'd much rather have than a safer, more consistent Rod Smith. In my projection rankings I Have Rod and Lelie about the same.

 

[The Man Who Met Andy Griffith]

I like the fact that you have D Jax in the same clump as Holt/CJ etc. I am expecting a career year for him as the Seahawks really lean on him.You just had to put Henry one spot above Brown, didn't you?

 

[Bears_Man2]

Keyshawn's too low. 70-986-6 are WR3 numbers. He's looking like a nice value pick What is it with people and Joey Galloway?? 7 years since his last 1,000 yard season. Breaking 700 yards ONCE in the last 7 years (908 yards in 2002).

 

[Carter_Can_Fly]

I agree I drafted Lelie ahead of Smith in my draft as well as I prefer his upside in a H2H league.

[LHUCKS]

What is it with people and Joey Galloway?? 7 years since his last 1,000 yard season. Breaking 700 yards ONCE in the last 7 years (908 yards in 2002).

keyshawn might be the 4th best WR on his team now. Not to mention I think he presents very little upside. I try to draft guys that I think can get 1100 yards, not a total of 950 with mediocre TD totals.On Galloway, he's been stuck on Dallas for years. His ppg was very good last year and in H2H, ppg shouldn't be overlooked. If Galloway goes down you don't get zero points the next week, you get the points of the WR you use to replace him. He's still reportedly one of the fastest guys on the Bucs. Galloway is one of my big sleepers this year.

Yeah, I see what you're saying and have you heard you say it before but be honest; Haven't Jordan/Rogers/Porter/Calico all been characterized as "high risk/high reward" for the past two years? What % of the time have they come anywhere close to producing anything close to their ADP? When do they officially drop from "high risk/high reward" and become David Boston?I think most people are crazy for having McNabb top 3 from a FF perspective, let alone 2nd only to Manning.

Not a big fan of the #2 TE in the DEN offense, and this coming from a guy that can't stand steffani alexander.

 

[Carter_Can_Fly]

No love for T. Glenn at all on the list. The guy is a big sleeper in my books. I could see him surpassing the 1000 yard total this year and he could be had for cheap.

 

[BoltzNBrew]

enough of this jibber jabber....when do you release the K and D rankings?

 

[LHUCKS]

Jordan has never been given a chance.Rogers has had two freak collarbone breaks.

Porter started to emerge last year.

Calico is also coming off injury.

These guys are all young and haven't had the chance to shine yet...are they risky? Of course, but I like their risk profile enough to rank them as highly as I do.

I think most people are crazy for having McNabb top 3 from a FF perspective, let alone 2nd only to Manning.

Look at his PPG minus the Baltimore/Pitt/Carolina games...all of which the Eagles don't play this year...it's very scary.

Not a big fan of the #2 TE in the DEN offense, and this coming from a guy that can't stand steffani alexander.

I think Putzier will still end up with the lion's share of TE receptions...even as the opening day backup.

 

[LHUCKS]

No love for T. Glenn at all on the list.  The guy is a big sleeper in my books.  I could see him surpassing the 1000 yard total this year and he could be had for cheap.

I have him ranked higher than almost everybody. He's on half of the teams from the leagues listed in my sig.

I have him ranked higher than all of the FBG staff except for Wimer.

 

[LHUCKS]

enough of this jibber jabber....when do you release the K and D rankings?

Nah...I'd rather keep the discussion focused on the major positions.

 

[LHUCKS]

Here are McNabb's weekly totals minus the Pitt/Balt games and week 16 where he didn't really play since they had locked up homefield.

Well I'll let all of those that have asked to see them do the talking. I would say I've had about 50 requests total.

I agree with you on McNabb. Too many people are letting the TO situation affect his adp. I've seen Bulger and Trent Green drafted ahead of him.

Seriously, thanks for the hard work. I will review later tomorrow when I have a chance. Good luck this year in your leagues.

 

[Babu Bhatt]

If you draft for upside, why do you have Deshaun Foster and Stephen Davis behind the likes of Michael Bennett and Ced Benson??? I think the upside of whoever is the Panthers starter far surpasses whatever thoise two will put up.

I believe Carolina is doomed for RBBC. After about 20 drafts this year, I have zero Carolina RBs.

And Chicago and Minnesota aren't?

 

[SSOG]

So this year the Eagles get the cakewalk known as the AFC West to replace the brutal AFC North. Huge IMHO.

I was with you until here. The AFC West is no longer a cakewalk. Denver and San Diego were both very good on defense last season, and both should be very good on defense this season (they've lost a combined 3 defensive starters between them, and one of them was let go without any effort to resign because they'd already replaced him with someone much better). Also, the Chiefs should be at least a little improved, and Oakland should still be a joke.Contrast this with the AFC North, which has Pitt and Baltimore (both of whom are really good on defense), Cincinatti, which is pretty bad on defense, and Cleveland, which is also a joke. I think the AFC West this year has a good chance to be at least as tough as the AFC North last year, defensively- and possibly even tougher. I think it might not look like it, because their defensive numbers will be hurt by the tough schedule of 6 games against opposing AFC West offenses (those'll certainly drop your defensive rankings a bit).

In short, I don't think there's much dropoff between the AFC North and the AFC West in defense. Certainly not a "huge" one.

What reasons are those??

Benson - Named the starter by a regime that is trying to justify their first round pick. Most NFL teams rated him very highly.Bennett - For whatever reason Tice loves the guy and Moore appears to be the only legitimate threat to his touches. Moore is currently #3 on the depth chart.

Foster - can't stay on the field

Davis - Probably the only guy that presents value out of the Carolina situation. I would have like to have heard/seen more regarding his current status...too many unknowns for me to rank higher. That being said, I have him ranked higher than most FBG staff and higher than the composite ranking.

 

[SSOG]

What reasons are those??

I've got a big one right here. If Foster and Davis both stay healthy, I could easily see them splitting carries 50/50 or 60/40, which would kill both of their values. If Bennet/Moore both stay healthy, I still don't see them splitting carries. There would be one featured back every week (although good luck figuring out who). If T.Jones and Benson both stay healthy, again, I don't see them splitting the carries down the middle. Either Thomas Jones stays dominant and keeps his 70+% of the carries, or Cedric Benson comes in and takes 70+% of the carries.The only offense where two RBs could split carries 50/50 and still both have value is Kansas City. If Davis and Foster both split carries, I don't think either of them are worth a start unless you're playing a 12-team, start 3 RB league.

 

[Babu Bhatt]

You still haven't answered my question really. Davis starts the season as the starter, Benson doesn't. Bennett has had one good year, while Davis has had several. Both Bennett and Davis are coming off injuries, while Davis' was more serious. Davis plays in an offense that relies on the run, while Bennett plays in an air-it-out offense and Benson plays in a 3-and-out offense.I guess it comes down to gut feeling in the end. In which case, you might want to change the title of this thread from "LHUCKS Rankings" to "LHUCKS gut feelings" since you haven't offered any real reason to put those two ahead of whoever is the starter in Carolina.

 

[radballs.]

I hope that some of you are taking your opinions to Vegas. I'd love to meet some of you there. WCOFF is this Saturday. Hope to see a few of you there.

 

[EBF]

I see some rankings I like and some that I don't. I'm also bullish on Bulger this year. I see big season from that offense. I don't share your optimism regarding McNair (and I own him in my main money league). I don't think a top ten season is in the cards when you look at the supporting cast. Sure, their defense is bad, but their WRs are weak. The strength of the offense is the two RBs. It looks like you're down on Vick. He's a wild card. I'd probably never draft him where he's going, but QB17 seems a bit low. I'm a bit higher on Leftwich and Roethlisberger than you are. I also think Eli Manning could be undervalued here. I don't like the RB rankings. I don't think Holmes warrants top ten pick. I'd also be inclined to bump Dillon, Davis, and Martin down a bit. I'd move Julius up quite a bit. I wouldn't be surprised to see Cadillac finish top 10-15, but I can't fault you too much for your ranking there. I think you're a bit too stubborn on Chris Brown. Sure, he's injury-prone, but the one thing you never seem to acknowledge is that he's a dynamite runner when he's healthy. I can't fathom taking Henry over him. I'd gamble on Foster a bit earlier than where you have him. I think he has a better shot at a great season than guys like Suggs, Staley, Bennett, Brown, Henry, and maybe even Barlow. The WR rankings look pretty good. I'm in the minority in that I actually expect a big year from Hines Ward. I think his targets will be up quite a bit. I don't personally see a big difference between Boldin and Fitz. I know Boldin has the better track record, but I think it's anyone's guess who has the better season. I think you have Antonio Bryant too low. I have a hunch about him this season. I'm starting him in week one over Lee Evans, Charles Rogers, and Anquan Boldin in a ppr dynasty league. I think he cracks 1,000 yards this year. The team has no weapons on offense and will be playing from behind. Edwards is a work in progress and the TEs won't be major factors. I'd also bump Kevin Curtis up. I might also bump Justin McCareins and Michael Jenkins up. Oh yea, and I'd definitely take a shot with Matt Jones over most of the guys you have listed at 50+. I don't have much to say about the TEs. It seems rare for a rookie TE to make an impact, but I'd gamble on Heath Miller over some of the retreads listed at the bottom of the rankings.

The only target lost is Mason who was a guy that got the most out of his talent. Chow has said repeatedly he plans on targeting the TEs and RBs significantly more which I expect will increase the overall number of pass attempts. I really like McNair's chances to blow everyone's projections/rankings out of the water.

It looks like you're down on Vick. He's a wild card. I'd probably never draft him where he's going, but QB17 seems a bit low.

Vick is a wildcard, but his unpredictability makes him hard for me to stomach in leagues of this format.

I don't like the RB rankings. I don't think Holmes warrants top ten pick.

You may be right about that. Ranking Priest is tough, but like I said I don't mind taking on risk in H2H. I'd obviously try to nab the LJ handcuff.

 

[SSOG]

I don't like the RB rankings. I don't think Holmes warrants top ten pick.

That's quite a bold statement. I also strongly disagree with it. For all the talk about how you can't predict injuries, everyone seems all to eager to predict one for Holmes. Fact is, when he's been healthy, he's been the #1 RB in all of fantasy football- and it hasn't even been close. What's more, a guy who finishes with 200 points in 10 games is a HECKUVA lot more valuable than a guy who finishes with 220 points in 14 games, because not only do you get the 200 in 10 games, you also get however many points your backup RB scores in the other 4 games, too.The absolute worst case scenario with Holmes/Johnson (assuming you get the pair) is that they split the carries 60/40. Assuming KC produces at the RB position similar to its 3 year averages, that would still have Holmes finish the season as RB5, and Larry Johnson finish the season as RB12. No, really, I promise. Not bad at all for a 1st and 5th round investment. If they split carries 75/25, Holmes is RB1 in a landslide. If Holmes goes down to injury, then Larry Johnson would be due for 75+% of the carries and would in all likelihood be the #1 RB in fantasy football by a landslide.

Holmes/Johnson is really win-win. Holmes alone is still a pretty good prospect, too, because you can't predict injuries, and even if he does get hurt, he still has more value than other RBs who will wind up outscoring him on the season.

A decent number of folks have PM'd me and emailed me for my rankings over the past couple of months so I'll be posting them here as promised. 

You and jwcva;lkdjfa must talk quite a bit via PM with a lot of people.

Well I'll let all of those that have asked to see them do the talking. I would say I've had about 50 requests total.

You forgot to mention my 1.3 faxes (yes, the paper got jammed on the first attempt).Actually, I'd be more interested in your projection rankings...when are those coming out?

Agree with most of the qb rankings.I'm not as high as KJ as most. Jamal is low but understandable. JJ and C. Brown are higher on my list.Overall read good stuff!!!

Either get rid of the tiers or change them for the backs. Jamal and JJ in the same tier as Duce Staley and Lee Suggs is just stupidNice effort regardless

Julius Jones at 20............brutal.

Keyshawn's too low. 70-986-6 are WR3 numbers. He's looking like a nice value pick

What is it with people and Joey Galloway?? 7 years since his last 1,000 yard season. Breaking 700 yards ONCE in the last 7 years (908 yards in 2002).

keyshawn might be the 4th best WR (besides Witten) on his team now. Not to mention I think he presents very little upside. I try to draft guys that I think can get 1100 yards, not a total of 950 with mediocre TD totals.

Who's got the upside on Dallas? (Besides Witten)Glenda?? (hasn't had 70 catches in 5 years)

Price?? (Can the guy even see? Not too promising that a team with one of the worst WR situations in football cut him. He's a deep threat -- like Glenn -- not a possession WR like Keyshawn).

On Galloway, he's been stuck on Dallas for years.  His ppg was very good last year and in H2H, ppg shouldn't be overlooked.  If WHEN Galloway goes down you don't get zero points the next week, you get the points of the WR you use to replace him.  He's still reportedly one of the fastest guys on the Bucs.  Galloway is one of my big sleepers this year.

Fixed your post. Ok you're jumping all over the board here. You say PPG shouldn't been overlooked -- well, Keyshawn's got Glenn, Price, Galloway beat there for the past year(s). If I'm looking for PPG for guys that play 6-7 games a year, those guys are on the wire or are WR5/6. Just an FYI, neither Glenn or Galloway have passed Keyshawn's mediocre 950 yards and 6 TD's since 2000......Galloway's been one of the fastest guys on any team he's been on. He's done almost noting outside of 2002 for the past 6 years. 6 years!! I can't believe the guy is already 33 years old. What a waste of a once promising career.

LHUCKS,Enjoyed reading your posts, as always. You have obviously put a lot of time and effort into this.I'd be interested to see your reasoning behind JJ being so low. Is it injury risk? Skill risk (you think he sucks)? Competition risk (A-train)? Bledsoe risk (Dallas passing a ton. Playing catch-up a lot)? Of all of the picks, this one stands out most to me. I can easily see JJ going for 1500 yards and 15 TDs this year. Likewise, I think he will catch more balls than most people think. I have read nothing coming out of Dallas that leads me to believe he won't be a workhorse this year. What do you see here that I don't?

Actually you're right...I forgot to put a break in there. I did these late last night.

The only Dallas WR I drafted this year in redrafts was Terry Glenn. Galloway when healthy and starting had a higher PPG than did Keyshawn. I throw out certain games if players were slowed by injury or not playing full time and recalculate PPGs in certain instances.

As noted earlier, Galloway has been in the wrong place. Remember that Gruden's offense helped to revive Rice's career.
