These are the latest compiled FBGs Expert Rankings as of 5/13. Joe and the gang provide these early rankings for free, so I hope this thread isn't frowned upon. Pick one overvalued and one undervalued player from the list.

Overvalued: Dwayne BoweHe's a tremendous talent and it pains me to say that as a K.C. fan, but the QB situation has to be straightened out before I'd take him with the 45th pick in my FF draft.Undervalued: Wes WelkerI would move him ahead of at least the five WRs ranked before him. Welker was terrific last year, but was understandably overshadowed by Randy Moss. I think Moss' numbers come down to earth a bit this season (regression to the mean - no surprise after his remarkable season last year) and Welker's stats could benefit from that.
 
overvalued:

Tom Brady: He´ll be good, but won´t put up that many TDs again in 08.

ADP: wouldn´t it suck to burn the #2 pick on a sophomore jinx?

undervalued:

Roy Williams

 
Before I get to the guys on the list, 2 guys I'm shocked didn't make the list are Ben Roethlisberger and Jonathon Stewart. I'd have Ben in the early 40's and Stewart around the same area as Michael Turner.

Overrated: Clinton Portis, I like him but 6th really? He seems at least 5-6 spots too high I have him 9th at RB and I would take 2 QB's(Brady, Manning) and 2 WR's(Moss, Wayne) over him.

Underrated:Torry Holt, I would take him over Smith, Housh or Colston at WR and ahead of Brown, Parker and Edge at RB.

WR's in general seem too low, I guess maybe last season could have been a fluke but I wouldn't bet on it.

Red - OverBlue - Under

 
Underrated - Michael Turner (36) - A pretty safe bet for 300 touches. RB's ranked higher that I would pass on are Jacobs, Graham, Edge, FWP, and Maroney.

Overrated - Ryan Grant (17) - No way would I use the 2.5 pick on him. He's ahead of Peyton? Ha ha

 
[hijack] I would like Marc Levin to explain his mysterious absence of all rookies from his top 60. [/hijack]

 
Over: Ronnie Brown (I think Ricky will get more carries this year than any Ronnie owner wants to believe)

Over: Willie Parker (I really can't get excited, even in redraft, for a guy that won't get 3rd down & goal line work...I'd rather draft Fred Taylor many rounds later)

Under: Jason Wiiten. Won't reach 30 in any draft I'm in.

 
22 RB Reggie Bush, NO

overrated in non PPR

42 RB Thomas Jones, NYJ

underrated - Faneca, Woody and T Richardson immediately upgrades the run game

jets had only 21 total TDs last year, thomas will see an upswing in yards and TDs

1500-1700/ 7-8 total yrds/tds

tons of overvalued, a few undervalued, and not too many rookies.Over - Gates won't be ready for the first game of the season. His toe is jacked. Bowe has a horrid QB and Williams is one of the most ridiculously overrated players in the game in addition to being an injury threat. Ronnie Brown will be lucky to be at 75% by the middle of the season, Reggie Bush, in a non-PPR, doesn't deserve to be anywhere near a top-15 RB and Larry Johnson no longer has his health, his youth, or the best offensive line in football. Even prior to his injury, his YPC had dropped by almost a full yard in each of the last 3 seasons.

Under - TJ and DMac have fantastic offensive lines that will block just wonderfully for them. Wes Welker is going to get a ton of targets again this year as every team tries to double Randy Moss. Michael Turner is going to be one of the few feature backs in the NFL who won't share many carries, and Big Ben and Jonathan Stewart are definitely going to make you regret leaving them off your top-50 list.

Link to gates not being ready?
 
Over: Moss - not necessarily as WR1 (although I'd probably rather have Wayne), but as the 7th player overall ahead of stud RBs such as Gore, Barber, Lynch and Johnson.

Under: Graham

 
Steve Smith is overvalued @ 24. He's a talented player but Jake Delhomme is coming off Tommy John Surgery and Matt Moore isn't much better than a backup quarterback. It's going to take a big year from either of those qb's for Steve Smith to live up to or surpass that ranking. So far I don't see that happening. I wouldn't be comfortable with him as my #1 wide receiver. I'd rather have Housh, Colston, Burress and maybe Boldin over Smith.

Jamal Lewis is undervalued @ 23. Last season Jamal Lewis had over 1300 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns while playing in roughly 14 games. He's playing behind one of the best offensive lines in the NFL in a high-powered Browns offense with multiple weapons to take pressure off of the running game. I'd love to have Jamal Lewis as a #2 running back.

You could probably say the same thing for Welker himself. Both he and Moss benefited from the unbelievable year Brady had. I think both guys regress a bit more to the mean this year.
