I'm a Longtime listener. Thanks for the continued exceptional content.
10 team standard scoring redraft except for 6pt TD passes. 1QB, 1RB, 2WR, TE. 1RB/WR Flex. I've got SJax and Knowshon already. Does it make any sense to draft a 3rd RB before a second starting wideout? We're talking JStewart/LeSean vs SSmith (either)/OchoNamo/Boldin. What if BWells drops to the mid-5th ?
Thanks,
Drew

Incredible stuff guys. Incredible.
Could you rank the guys below real quick and mention why you rank them that way? In dynasty but looking at production for this season only. Guys like:
Knox
Santana Moss
Floyd
Gaffney / Royal
Would you start Crabtree over this mötley crüe?
Thanks!

I dont think it really increases the spread that much. If a top tier QB throws 8 more TDs than a second tier QB, thats only a point a week difference from the 4 pt per pass TD league, not enough to change my strategy greatly. I do think things like 300 yard game and long distance TDs bonus do increase the spread in a way that makes a difference more than 6 pts per pass TD. Also leagues with a QB flex + 6 pts per pass TD really enhance QB value.Why do people insist on claiming that QB value doesn't increase in leagues with 6pt passing td, points for completions, or point per 20yrd passing? The way I see it, as QBs score more points there will be more points separating each QB, and it will be harder to make up those points with other players. In a 4pt league the difference between throwing 20 and 25 tds is 20 points, while in a 6pt per td league the difference is 30 points.I feel a lot of people are confused about this. I also want to thank you for answering my questions. Also, my user name is 'em-rip'
Smith and Welker top the list
go for jugular and trust your later picks/WW pickups to be your depth

Its really hard to know if coaches are just trying out things to see if they work well enough to even include in the playbook/game plan, or if they are really trying out the primary mode of attack. I wouldnt read too much into it.
I dont know about avoiding like the plague, but you arent likely to see Brees/Rodgers/Peyton on my teams, nor Reggie Wayne, PThomas, JStewart among early round guys.
I know Waldman would say Best. I like Best better this year, but his long term health outlook scares me enough to say Spiller in a dynasty.
2nd WR - maybe Nicks
Dez, but Mathews will be solid.
more than 20 roster spots or more than 12 teams.
I would think right about where Mathews went. Definite feature back potential.
Hang back and kill it later. You can trade your breakout cheapo guys for a stud or two later.
Honestly, Im not quite up to speed on the OL situations around the league to answer this right now, will post as I learn more.
maybe not starters, but LSH could have value, as could deji karim
only for weather (which has ruined Brady during the playoffs here and there, including in the record season of 07). three outdoor northeast games in december this year for him.
welker back, moss primed for big year, lots of young weapons developing. I like him as #5 QB this year. not quite the ceiling of the top 4.
Guys,Great show as usual! I caught the Conan reference last week.. nice touch. It's always inspiring!
Welker-lite could be his role. Wont start on the outside, pure slot receiver.
Its Tate, but all 3 have value in dynasty leagues.
TO is the better value now, especially in PPR
Didn't listen yet, will itunes it and listen tomorrow. But saw this comment. Two questions Sigmund (12 team redraft, non-ppr)...1) any chance you can expand on why you don't like Wayne, Thomas, and JStew? 2) if you draft in the 1 or 2 slot, and a Peyton makes it to you at the 2/3 turn, would you consider him? Seems like a huge dropoff in QBs will occur before it snakes back to you at 4/5. Thx!

Sounds like both Iupati and Davis are going to start for San Fran. Pouncey should also start for the Steelers and has been quite impressive in camp. Reports on Trent Williams say he's been a little rough, but should start for the Redskins early if not week one. Campbell has actually been impressing according to some reports from Jerry McDaniels from ANG Newspapers. He may not harness those spectacular physical skills enough to play at tackle, but sliding him inside will help cover up some of his deficiencies.

I think Brady can be as good as ever regardless of Welker's health/productivity. Edelman, Tate, and Hernandez are capable of picking up the slack as a trio if Welker turns out to be a year away.Guys,Great show as usual! I caught the Conan reference last week.. nice touch. It's always inspiring!Question regarding Tom Brady and the Patriots passing attack in general. Do you see some upside here, with the possibility of both Welker and Edelman working out of the slot? I read an article on ESPN that alluded to this, and I was wondering what you thought about it. Brady is one of the two top QBs left in my Auction Keeper league, and I am tempted to try and steal him while his value is low.Thanks in advance!

For me, it's still clearly Best - He has the starting job and it didn't come by default due to a summer injury. What separates Best and Spiller in my opinion is Best's patience between the tackles. Where there are times that Spiller (and he admitted this much about his play last week) can be tentative with his decisions, which I think stems from him being over reliant on his vast athleticism, Best is willing to go with the play design and get the tough 3-4 yards that keeps the offense on schedule and in a decent situation for the team's game plan. Spiller definitely can improve in this area, and improve quickly enough to become a terrific player in the NFL, but I'm not convince he's done so. Both are good receivers and I would get the slight edge to Spiller here. Overall, Spiller reminds me of Reggie Bush when he entered the league. Best reminds me of what we thought Bush could become.

I'm really starting to think it might be Hernandez.

Although I would say Trent Richardson, Ingram's backup, has even more potential (which is scary), I think Ingram is a fine NFL prospect and there would be some NFL teams that would have preferred him over Ryan Mathews in this draft. I actually think teams that had Mathews No.1 on its boards with Ingram in this draft would have been the minority. I'm not certain I agree with that notion, but he hits all the check marks I think personnel directors like: big-time school, big-time production, championship team, prerequisite size, etc. Although I'm saying these evaluators might have been wrong about putting Ingram over Mathews with ease, it doesn't mean I wouldn't rate him as one of the three best backs in the 2010 draft if he came out. If you're in a dynasty league that allows you to draft a college player that hasn't declared for the draft I would put Ingram at the top of the list alongside A.J. Green and above Kansas State RB Daniel Thomas .

RBs Under the Radar...(in a rough order)1. Javon Ringer - he's a smart enough runner to do a lot of damage behind the Titans line. A lot like Chester Taylor. 2. Rashad Jennings - I liked what I saw (a lot) of Jennings in limited time last year. If MJD gets hurt, I think Jennings can be a fantasy starter. He has everything you need to be a solid fantasy starter: hands, shiftiness, power, burst, some long speed. I think he has more ability than Ringer, but not the best situation.3. Anthony Dixon - He's obviously still not adjusting to the finer points of the game or Westbrook wouldn't be in town, but he has great instincts and all-around skills that must need to be refined. He might hurt the team with conceptual mistakes if forced into the lineup, but he'll produce with the ball in his hands.4. Tyrell Sutton - This kid can play. He always showed he could run tough between the tackles. His legs rarely go dead after contact, he catches the ball well, and he has some burst. I believe he has endeared himself to the Panthers despite working in the shadows of the Carolina duo Williams/Stewart. If one of these backs is allowed to pursue the open market in the next year or two, Sutton could be the reason. He'll never be a superstar, but he could carry the load if needed and get you 4-4.5 ypc behind this o-line.5. Jalen Parmele - He's a smart, shifty, player with some power and versatility. If McGahee gets traded it's because of him (and undrafted rookie Curtis Steele who is probably another season or two away from making this list, but he has the skills). OthersKareem Huggins - I haven't seen him play, but when you see a quote from the team's coordinator that says to the effect, "I would be very surprised if Huggins didn't become a player in this league," you have to give the guy heavy consideration. Joique Bell - He continues to play well and I wouldn't be surprised if the Bills give Spiller a little break just to see what Bell can do versus a first-team defense. They should give him a shot, because it's conceivable Jackson, Lynch, and Spiller could all miss time and force Bell into the lineup early in the year. He reminds me of Marion Barber in some respects. Good balance, some burst, excellent second effort runner. If he develops at a quick rate and doesn't let the game get ahead of him, I could see him as the Bills' Barber to Spiller's Jones - with the share divided more to Spiller at this point. Curtis Steele - One of my favorite undrafted backs this year. He has already impressed against the Ravens first-team defense. He's like a lighter/speedier Marion Barber - which could get him into trouble if he doesn't gain more weight, which the Ravens have immediately asked Steele to do. This is why I think he's probably a year or two away from getting a chance to spell Rice along with Parmele, but I think they see something in the kid. He's a tough, second-effort runner with good quickness and agility. Excellent at making the first (two) guys miss. Cedric Peerman - I still believe in his abilities, but I'm concerned that he can't stay healthy enough to get on the field long enough to show anything. He's going to run out of chances soon.

Matt, why do you think Welker's production will be more than cut in half this year? You really think that the Pats will abandon their most productive receiver in game plans in favor of 3 TE sets, featuring Alge Crumpler and two rookies and Edelman? That's gotta be one of the boldest predictions I've heard yet about this season. It's pretty obvious Welker is healthy or he wouldn't have played, and when he did he looked fine. He's got two more weeks to recover as well.

I'm just not convinced that a couple of flat routes and hits taken means that Welker is at the point that he can come back less than a year after ACL surgery and be the same productive player. He was brought down at first contact on the plays I saw and they were short routes. They were routes that didn't require him to sink his hips and bend his knees into hard cuts and the didn't show the ability to make hard lateral cuts as a receiver or runner last night. We see receivers every year that play hurt and they are healthy enough to get on the field, but not healthy enough to achieve peak production. I still have doubts based on history that he's any different.We're talking about a player with 110-120 receptions a year for the past few years. Can you name a receiver that has come back less than a year after an ACL tear and approached elite stats? I can't. If there is someone, then I want to know and I'll have to be more considerate of Welker doing the same. While I can envision him having a 50-60 catch season at best, I don't think we're going to see him do it. I think this 3-TE set is equally about the personnel (mainly Hernandez as the receiver and the other two as blockers) as it is the scheme. This is a wrinkle that I believe will make the Pats more balanced, tougher on the ground, better in the red zone, and more difficult to defend because Hernandez can play the Welker role. If anything, I believe Welker (in addition to his talent, which I'm not contesting) came to prominence in the NE offense because they simply couldn't get the production from Ben Watson or Daniel Graham that they long-hoped to have. You don't draft two of the top TE prospects and add Alge Crumpler - a proven run blocker and a solid receiver (although his athleticism in this area has been on the decline for a few years) unless you plan on using them. The game last night showed four different ways that the Patriots are using this set (all in the 1st quarter with 1st team players) to get match up advantages on the ground and through the air. Even Tedy Bruschi on ESPN mentioned this set on the air after week one, discussing it's success. When you have a former Patriot with two minutes to pick anything to point out on a national TV telecast and he decides this is the most significant thing to discuss, it's worth paying attention. Hernandez has also been frequently targeted in practice. Recently he was cites as the one of the most targeted guys in 2-minute drills (even ahead of Moss at times). It only takes 4-5 targets per game going elsewhere (Hernandez, Tate, and Edelman) for Welker to see his opportunities drop significantly. I think Hernandez has the chance to make that kind of impact. Welker in round 7-9 sounds like a good value to me. I know I'm in the minority, but I just can't reconcile taking him in round 4-5. MClifford said:
