These are the players I like this year at their current value and the reasons why.
QB
Rodgers / Brohm- if you grab both I think you should have a top QB for years to come. With the young WR's and the Packers system, one of these two should put up great numbers for a long time. As of now the price is right and there is also a chance that one of these two could go to another team and be productive down the road.
Bulger- Rams had so many injuries and problems last year, that everything should look up this year. Holt and S Jax are top weapons now, Burton and Avery should develop in the next couple of years once Holt has gone down. Saunders and a healthy o-line should help Bulger return to top 5-10 form.
Schaub- QB of a young upstart team that seems to be heading in the right direction. A healthy 2008 could produce the top QB/WR combo with Schaub & AJ.
RB
Gore- in this day of RBBC, Gore seems to be a RB that will get plenty of touches. SF was touted as a sleeper team last year but they were a little too young. With the group being a year older and Martz on board look for the offense to improve.
Bradshaw- valid concern is a full blown RBBC in NY. After watching the Giants playoff run, Bradshaw was the better RB during that stretch against the same competition in the same situation. Bradshaw will come much cheaper than Jacobs and will be used even if Jacobs is healthy and the starter.
R.Rice- this will take patience but I think he has what it takes to be a top NFL RB. The NFL is all about running inside and he is the best inside runner coming out in the draft. He has great character and I believe his BMI and superior quickness will make up for his lack of height.
WR
M. Kelly & K. Burton- I think both players are more NFL ready than the rookie WR's that were drafted ahead of them. Thomas & Avery were picked ahead of them mainly because of speed, other than speed both Kelly and Burton seem to be better football players and complete WR's. Injuries are a concern for both players and also brought down their draft stock.
Cotchery - most don't realize but he finished #19 & #20 the last two years in my PPR league. If the Jets offense improves so should his TD's.
Boldin- has produced close to Fitz but always drafted later. Leinart seemed to go to Boldin more than Fitz. last year and Leinart should be the starter this year.
E. Bennet- has a great chance to be a starting go to possession PPR WR this year. Even with the offensive problems last year the Bears still threw the ball quite a bit.
TE
O. Daniels- glad I got him dirt cheap last year as his value has gone up, but still a good bargain. He is the 2nd option in the Texans passing game and should improve on his TD numbers.
McMichael- Saunders is known to force feed the TE and McMichaels has the talent to be the 2nd option in the passing game for the improved Rams.
