Nope. He's a rock-solid WR2 in my opinion. I'd view him as a Top 15-20 WR every week and considering how bad the Ravens' pass defense has looked at times this season I wouldn't fear this matchup at all.
So the Tues/ Wed rankings are just a list of players names...?? Even with 3 Thursday games...??If so , there is no point to them really.... 
This one is most likely valid. Very few people expect him to play this week, due to his injury.
You have all the top 12 TEs this week on your roster?
Honest question here... are you more concerned about the stack rank of positions or the delta between P1 and P12 for any position?I understand your feedback. It's a fair point to make. However, if the point about weekly projections is more to understand the stack rank of players at any given position (or flex positions which compare multiple positions), then it's less an issue. Your point is also applicable to pre-season projections. Most projections end up looking more like hedges than "going out on a limb".
I definitely understand your point, but I think he makes a good point as well.When I am trying to decide between the 5th or 25th ranked WR on the list, logically I will assume that the person ranked #5 is better. When you look at the actual point projections however, it could be a case where #5 is projected for 4 catches and 66 yards, and #25 is projected for 3 catches for 66 yards. If we are only supposed to use the rankings, then maybe the projections should be left off entirely?
From the projections, if you click on the team link you can verify that the passing numbers and receiving numbers match up. (And yes, Vick's rushing definitely helps. His projected 40 rushing yards are worth about an extra 100 passing yards.)
They definitely take matchups into account. They try to take injury info into account as well, but the info is often unclear early in the week.
Are the QB rankings based on "rushing YDS" vs "passing YDS" and "rushing TD's" vs "passing TD's" being worth twice as much?If so that would make sense in Vick's case.
I do think the Bucs have a tough matchup this week. Baltimore is giving up only 5.9 net yards per pass attempt.Vegas is also doubtful that the Bucs will score much this week. They are 7.5-point underdogs with an over/under of 41 — which projects them to score only 16.75 points. (That's about 14.25 offensive points, which is about 1.6 TDs and a field goal; so Williams is projected to get about 25% of the Bucs' expected TDs. Only Blount is projected to get more.)
They've also given up more than 290 passing yards in four of their past six games. The only two games they didn't they allowed 231 to Henne and last week against a QB the Panthers found at the drug store. And as posted earlier even he dropped an 80-yard TD on them. Now in this totally wild, matchups mean absolutely nothing season, anything can happen. But on paper, the Ravens' pass defense is a major weakness. They have been lit up a lot lately. This is looking like a plus matchup for the Bucs' passing game. Maybe they don't get it done but plenty of other teams have carved this defense up and spit 'em out the past two months with ease.
That's a pretty bold statement considering that Williams has only topped 100 yds once this season. And looking at TB's schedule so far in 2010 it has been Cupcake City.
I think we also don't see much seperation at the top 12 TE's this year is the loss of maybe the top 3 TE's in the league. Finley, Clark and now Gates are out and guys like Witten and Gonzales have been underperforming slightly. There's no good reason for any of the top 12 TE's this week to be ranked significantly higher. It doesn't mean a few won't perform that way. IMO, the projections should be what is most likely to happen. I don't want the projections to go out on a limb.
Valid point here. There is so much information out there where people should do some of their own thinking. Why play this game if you use draft dominator and fbg rankings religiously. I could create a program to do that and set it prior to week one and come back week seventeen and see how I did. What fun is that. I use fbg but not to run my team for me.
I understand producing in-depth rankings things take time.... so if the result of getting something out quickly is a list sufficiently out of whack as to not be very useful, why not simply wait to issue the rankings until there has been time to do it right?
Because then the boards are flooded with crybabies wondering where their updates are.Getting to the point where updates are being expected the minutes MNF ends.
I feel for Bryant and Dodds, they get flack for putting up things too late, they get flack for putting things up too soon. It's impossible to please everybody. Happy Thanksgiving guys, don't let the turkeys get you down!
DD is worth the subscription price alone...and before you even say it, no I don't let it draft for me. It's an awesome program that allows me to track the draft with ease and well worth $20 when I do at least 3-4 redrafts a year. All the other stuff is just gravy to me. I don't read any of the articles and I only use the cheatsheets as a sanity check, never a deciding factor. Paying for a subscription and having FBG run your team is not exactly analogous. It's basically like saying you should never buy a poker book, cause what fun is it having somebody else teach you optimal strategy.
I don't. It's a business. They promise things by a certain time and repeatedly fail to live up to those promises. I think people are generally quite civil to fbg's when they screw up.
Actually, he's ranked even lower than that. This is the ranking that perplexes me the most. Are we to believe that the FBG staff would start Brandon Gibson over Desean Jackson if given that choice?
Josh Freeman played like a**.
My thoughts are that you should be back here giving kudos to the guys that did the rankings. Even though they gave him too much credit - they were a lot more accurate than those of us that put him into our lineup anyway.
