Who's Bandwagon are you on? (1 Viewer)

[Team Canada]

This may be a thread on Fantasy Fooball therapy in the end, but here it goes.

So who's bandwagon are you on? Are you on any that you gut or brain is telling you you're an idiot? Who's bandwagon are you not on because there's something about the guy that doesn't work for you? Or does..... and you flat out ignore the reality and over pay. This line of thinking came from thinking about last year's crew I drafted. I some times get so heavily on the bandwagon that I won't listen to reason or their ADP. For me it's a big hit and miss thing and I'd like to hear about your hits and misses, plus who you might have that spidey sense for this year.

I'll start with the past few years to give you a sense of how this plays out for ol Team Canada. I drafted Forte and Chris Johnson in multiple leagues in their rookie year. Sometimes I have inside info that tips me off. Sometimes it's the guy. With CJ I read a quote from the offensive coordinator that said he was so amamazing he didn't really have a good scheme for him. Last year I owned Ray Rice and Steven Jackson in all my leagues too. Contrastly I also owned Chris Henry and Donnie Avery in all of em. Please don't feel a need to justify yourself since many threads are already out there dedicated to whether or not any single player's bandwagon should be full or empty. Oh yeah and they guy I really wanted as my sleeper last year...... Cedric Peerman, who never signed. I was psyched and scared when he was with the ravens for a while. How could he AND Rice be monsters? Almost had a FF big bang there.

This year I'm on the following bandwagons.

Jonathan Stewart

Felix Jones (Heavy on those two)

Hakeem Nicks

Pierre Garcon

Percy Harvin (Kinda Heavy)

Ray Rice (OK a little justification here. I have him #1 since I think he's the only one in the top 12 with unknown growth potential and a high floor).

Manning (The other one)

Kinda Jay Cutler and Boldin

I'm not on these (and have some guilt) with little to no evidince why.

Miles Austin

Shonne Green

Randy Moss (although I am keeping him in a 2 player keeper league. Along with Rice of course.)

Fitz

Wayne

Roddy White (never liked him and getting more wrong every year)

D. Willy (Not that I think he'll do bad just since Stewart is a direct conflict)

Sometimes I get that impression a player is a special player and I want to be there when the magic happens.

That's it for now.

 

[Concept Coop]

Ray Rice #1 because of his ceiling? That is really strange. His ceiling isn't even CJ right now. I don't think you rank a guy because he COULD one day be as good as the players better than him. His talent is nothing special, like CJ/ADP.

I am on the Sidney Rice and Fitz (as dynasty #1) bandwagons.

Yeah, I doubt I'll get any "Oh yeah good point Rice should be #1", but we've all been plenty wrong about predicting #1 many years. I'm guessing Rice since I think we've seen CJs ceiling last year. MJD isn't going to breakout this year nor AP. When looking at weeks 1-6 and then post bye 8-17 rice saw more 1.03 more redsozne looke and Willie droped 1.23 looks in the RZ. Willie's continued phase out means we haven't yet seen Rice's potential. I know there is a gap between them. When I look at the team's style and you see the RZ looks at almost 3.5:1 for the RBs last year. Meanwhile CJ increased his RZ looks by 4 last year and Ten had just over 2:1 looks for the RBs. CJ loses Lendale, but that was only 16 looks and someone will fill some of that wake, probably Ringer. Ringer could actually have enough growth to bite into CJ. I know Bal has picked up Boldin and Flacco is 1 year wiser so the argument is there that he'll bite into Rice. Maybe, but he might just get them to the RZ more often. In the end who knows, but I'm betting Rice. That's kinda what this thread is about. There's no way I convince everyone here to take Rice #1. I do like Sidney Rice. I wanted it for him and was happy to see him produce last year. I hope he doesn't have QB issues. I think with Fitz, I am fearful of the Boldin wake and the QB change and I don't think I can figure that one out enough to have faith in my guess. Maybe that's why I'm down on him. No doubt he has super human talent.

 

[sholditch]

Riding:

Josh Freeman

Deangelo Williams (never got off)

Felix Jones (ypc don't lie)

Hakeem Nicks

Miles Austin

Flacco (Q helps)

Matt Moore

Not getting on:

Crabtree

Gore

Spiller

Best

Megatron

Thinking about it:

Bryant

Mathews

Charles

 

[pantherclub]

For me:

Greene ( really really like what he can do this year, probably will go way too high for my tastes)

Miles Austin

Crabtree. (not as a #2 but probably will be a really good #3)

As far as Ray Rice goes, I think as we get closer to drafts there will be a discussion of him potentially going #1. People may say that is crazy but his situation is just as good as anyone else's.

 

[skillz]

Off the top of my head, here are some players I really want on my teams this year:

Michael Bush - finally breaks out this year. Has a good QB that can sustain drives and should give him more carries.

Miles Austin - think he only gets better. He had his breakout year much like Steve Smith did back in

Felix Jones - I think he starts this year and blows up in that offense.

Knowshon Moreno - I think he'll drop in my leagues based on his 09 performance and represent good value.

Brandon Jacobs - same as Moreno.

Michael Turner - just have a hunch he'll bounce back but his '09 season has dropped his value a bit.

Zach Miller (OAK) - think he really breaks out with Campbell in Oak. Can be drafted later than other TE's that will perform similarly (Celek, Daniels, Finley) IMO

Jay Cutler - I am buying the Martz effect.

Johnny Knox - same as Cutler.

Kevin Kolb - Lots of weapons to work with. He is in a pass happy offense and think he will put up really good numbers and will outperform his draft position.

 

[Wyld Stallyns]

Top 10 Bandwagons that I'm currently riding:

01. The Crazy Kolb'ers Bandwagon

02. The Jahvid is the Best Bandwagon

03. The ROYan Matthews Bandwagon

04. The Pierre's Time to Shine Bandwagon

05. The Mean Greene Machine Bandwagon

06. The Whackos for Flacco Bandwagon

07. The I'll Live and Addai with Joe at RB2 Bandwagon

08. The Henne Won't Lay an Egg Bandwagon

09. The Gilyard will be Gold Bandwagon

10. & The Hakeem's a Dream Bandwagon

 

[SSOG]

Devin Hester. He looked really impressive to open the season last year (especially for a guy who had only been playing WR for 3 years), but was injured and ineffective down the stretch and now people are writing him off for a guy who had 2 receptions for 16 yards prior to Hester's injury (and who failed to record a single statistic in 2 of his 4 seasons in the league). Through 8 weeks, Hester was on pace for 82/1100 receiving. Now he's the #1 WR in a Mike Martz offense.

As far as I know, it's a pretty lonely bandwagon. I know that Bloom is on here with me, but other than that there's plenty of room.

 

[Adebisi]

Whose

 

[Jeff Haseley]

1. Love Dez Bryant. Rookie or not, he can be an immediate factor this year. His presence could even curtail Miles Austin.

2. Shonn Greene - The Jets love to run and now he's their best RB. LT's best days are over. This is Greene's show.

3. Justin Forsett - Looking great in OTAs and camp. The release of LenDale really opens the door for him.

4. Jay Cutler - Has the ability that Martz salivates over. Too much success from Martz QBs for him not to be productive.

5. Pierre Thomas - Rushing and receiving skills make him a dual threat. Now it's his show.

6. Ronnie Brown - People are forgetting about him. The guy is a Top 6 RB when healthy. MIA runs their offense around him.

7. Percy Harvin - Still learning how to be a WR. His speed and quickness make him a threat. He's only going to get better.

8. Devin Hester - Throw Johnny Knox in there too. Martz loves speedy and quick WRs. Both could be big in the new Bears offense

9. Sammie Stroughter - Love this kid. The Bucs have a lot of inexperience at WR. I like Stroughter's desire and dedication to be a team player

10. Fred Davis - In limited action (mostly after Cooley injury), he caught 48 balls. Mc5 loves to use the TE. Davis is next in line and I think he overtakes Cooley in 2010.

 

[Nagle2998]

Of course I like the star players like everyone else but the guys I like to step up and become solid starters this year are

1. Michael Bush- Not a McFadden guy and with Fargas gone I think Bush could be a top 20 rb this year

2. Steve Breaston-Even though I think Lienart and Anderson are subpar I think Breaston is going to be a good number two Wr

3. DHB- Okay maybe not a good 3 but I think he is going to turn it around this year not sure why but I just have that feeling

4. Moreno-Most people see him as a two or worse I think he is going to finish in the top ten this year

5. Lee Evans-He has been killed by having bad Wr's and coaches and even though I don't like Edwards or Gailey they are better then what he had last year.

plays I don't like as much as others

1. Mike Wallace-I know he had good numbers for a rookie three last year but Holmes won't take coverage away and no Ben for a few weeks to me he will be a 4 at best fantasy guy.

2. Matt Stafford - I have seen to many good Qb's go to bad teams and get hit so much that they get shell shocked and think he is the next one on that list

3 Javid Best- Was never really on his band wagon coming out and after the concussion and being named the starter in Detroit I worry about him handling the load

4. Hakeem Nicks- I like him but most people see him as a star where I still think Smith will be the guy and Nicks as a number two

5. Colts Wr besides Wayne- Everyone has their favorite but I just see to many options and to many up and down weeks to take a shot on any of them.

 

[Creed Bratton]

Devin Hester. He looked really impressive to open the season last year (especially for a guy who had only been playing WR for 3 years), but was injured and ineffective down the stretch and now people are writing him off for a guy who had 2 receptions for 16 yards prior to Hester's injury (and who failed to record a single statistic in 2 of his 4 seasons in the league). Through 8 weeks, Hester was on pace for 82/1100 receiving. Now he's the #1 WR in a Mike Martz offense.As far as I know, it's a pretty lonely bandwagon. I know that Bloom is on here with me, but other than that there's plenty of room.

Yeah, I thought he was a good sleeper last year and then proceeded to quietly put up some pretty good stats. At least until he got injured. But what do you think about Martz's initial comments about Hester playing reduced snaps and focusing more on the return game? I think we've seen players in the past sort of fall out of favor in Martz's offense because he doesn't think they fit his scheme. It seems like management must've thought otherwise, because then we get reports about how Martz has "big plans for Devin Hester". But, if you google Vernon Davis and Mike Martz, you can get the exact same headline. I don't know, I'm just not overly thrilled when Martz compares Devin Hester to Az-Zahir Hakim. I just can't shake the feeling that Martz is going to waste Hester's talent.

are you an eagle fan

Well of course I am, but you'll notice the only Eagle I listed in the ON column was Kolb. I did not list DeSean Jackson, Maclin, McCoy or Celek. I also did not list all of the Cowboys players in the NOT ON column. I like Witten this year, as well as MBIII and to some extent Choice, but not so much to include them in my ON list.

 

[travdogg]

On:

Matt Schaub-He was the #1 QB before he lost Daniels and to a lesser extent Slaton.

Chris Johnson-I don't see a single reason why anyone else should be going #1 in any league.

Maurice Jones-Drew-If the O-line improves, he should be the #2 RB and is my pick to lead the NFL in TD's.

Jonathan Stewart-I think he's more talented than DeAngelo and a better fit for what they want to do.

DeSean Jackson-I think he's an elite WR, not just a one trick pony. I think he's good enough to crack the AJ-Fitz tier.

Percy Harvin-He's kind of like the Stewart of WR's. All he needs is more chances to prove his elite talent.

Steve Smith(NY)-He's kinda Eli's version of Welker, I can't see anyway he fishes with fewer than 90 catches.

Vernon Davis-I believe the light has flipped on, also he has an excellent rapport with Alex Smith.

Off:

Tom Brady-The Patriots seem to be going in the wrong direction and he's going way too high for my taste.

Steven Jackson-I like his talent, but I don't see the Rams helping him any more this year than they did last year.

DeAngelo Williams-I think he'll lose the lead back role, he'll probably still do enough to be a useful starter, but not a RB1.

Donald Brown-I still have no idea why this guy was a 1st round pick. He looks like another Maroney to me.

Calvin Johnson-I like his talent, but I just think there are several WR's I'd rather have and they all have fewer questions.

Randy Moss-He's going too high for me, I think he's lost a step or 2. He's still very good but I think his top-5 days are over.

Michael Crabtree-I think he's a good dynasty prospect, but in redrafts he's a WR3 in my opinion. Davis is the 49er to own.

Dallas Clark-I see him dropping off a bit, there is starting to become too many mouths to feed in Indy.

 

[Chimp Magnet]

On:

M. Williams TB WR

Not on:

CJ2k following last year with almost as good a year this year

Turner being "back"

Sanchez

D. Thomas

Ben Tate

Clausen

 

[karl722]

ON: Pierre Thomas.

Last year he battled injuries and Bell for playing time. This year, given that Bell isn't there, and NO has been using Bush less and less in the back field. I expect him to bounce back to what we saw from him at the end of the '08 - '09 season.

OFF: Jamal Charles

He is WAY over-valued IMO. Last year he had his most productive games against Oakland, Buffalo, Cleveland and Denver, which Denver, at #26, was the highest ranked Rushing D out of the group. Thomas Jones and possibly Dexter McCluster will be given a significant number of carries. And finally, who was the last RB to have a productive season under a Charlie Weis led offense? At best, I think Charles is an average #2 RB this year.

 

[Go deep]

ON:

QB's

Phillip Rivers - Aaron Rodgers production without the injury risk, and you can get him 3 rounds later.

Charlie Whitehurst - I already got him in all my dynasty leagues and will grab him in all my redrafts as a #3 QB.

Sam Bradford - Maybe more long term, but he is what you get when Archie Manning and Drew Brees mother get together for a night of romance.

Honorable mention - Joe Flacco, Eli Manning

RB's

Johnny Stewart - He will likely be my #1 ranked RB in dynasty leagues going into 2011.

Felix Jones - Anyone who does not think this guy will be a top 10 back starting in 2010 shouldnt be playing FF.

Jahvid Best - ROY, and will make a quality number 2 in the 4th/5th round of redrafts.

Honorable mention -Donald Brown, Amhad Bradshaw, Slaton, Mcfadden, Forte

WR's

Desean Jackson - This list begins and ends with Jackson. Alot of my 2010 FF success will depend alot on him.

Sidney Rice - Two words....BEAST!

Donnie Avery - His numbers would look similar to Desean Jackson had they swapped teams.

Honorable mention - Dwayne Bowe, Percy Harvin, Mike Williams, Dexter Mccluster

TE's

Jermichael Finley - Is he not on everyones list?

Zack Miller(Oak) - I know its only Jason Campbell, but compared to what he has done with the garbage he has had so far, its like getting Peytin Manning.

Dustin Keller - #2 TE with a high #1 ceiling.

Honorable mention: Fred Davis, Tony Scheffler, Rob Gronkowski

OFF:

QB's

Tom Brady

Donovan Mcnabb

Mark Sanchez

RB's

Chris Johnson - Im not suggesting he is not a great RB, but he wont live up to expectations.

Ray Rice - see above

Brandon Jacobs

Rashard Mendenhall - Might be my pick for fantasy bust of 2010.

Jamal Charles

WR's

Larry Fitzgerald - The loss of Boldin and Warner might not matter, but im not taking a chance with my first pick.

Mike Sims-Walker

Pierre Garcon/Ausitn Collie

TE's

Heath Miller

Jeremy Shockey

Aaron Hernandez

 

[Team Canada]

Whose. Thanks

It's nice to see some folks on my band wagons and it's nice to see some blindly against the norm like All Dallas WR and Romo. I don't know if Austin goes bigger as many of you are expecting, I don't know how the rookie will pan out, I don't know who will run the ball, but With the WRs they have and the hands MBIII and Jones have I can't see everyone failing. But that's the thing you can't put your finger on it you just need to stay away.

I like the call on Fitz. Not sure Leinart will fail, not sure the Boldin wake will negatively affect him, but it's nice to have fewer unknowns about your first round pick.

Thanks boys.

Enjoy.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Rashard Mendenhall - Might be my pick for fantasy bust of 2010.

Care to elaborate? I actually think he is one of the safest RBs out there. I'd be interested to hear your reasons why you think Mendenhall will bust.

 

[Tanner9919]

Sometimes I get that impression a player is a special player and I want to be there when the magic happens.

That's it for now.

Randy Moss is intriguing, isn't he at the last year of his current contract? do you believe he'll have a great season that will earn him a new lucrative contract for 2011 and beyond? I think Felix Jones is going to be a heartbreaker this season - he'll be drafted too early in most leagues and will not

produce relative to ADP..he has yet to receive 200+ carries in a single NFL season,what makes everyone think he's going to start now, with Choice and Barber still hanging around? what's wierd about that situation is that if it was any other team, people would all say it's one big RBBC and that we should steer clear of these RB's - but it's the Dallas Cowboys so we must draft Jones

 

[CravenM]

I may still be on a limb by myself but I still love Ryan Grant in Redraft and Dynasty:

- he's the undisputed starting RB

- he's on a good team

- he's relatively young and fundamentally sound

- he can catch balls and block

- he always seems to be pretty healthy or at least willing to play

- he has the confidence of his coach

I'm not sure how he's #39 in the FBG's Dynasty ranking but I'll take him in the 2nd round every time.

Other 'ON' Dynasty Bandwagons

Vernon Davis, SF-TE: made huge, dominant strides last year

Mark Sanchez, NYJ-QB: looked very good as a rookie and has a very good surrounding cast

Tony Romo, Dal-QB: an amazing amount of high-quality talent in the passing and running game

Dustin Keller, NYJ-TE: I think he'll do much better than #14 TE, more like top 6

Other 'OFF' Dynasty Bandwagons

Steve Smith, Car-WR: no surrounding cast

Sidney Rice, Minn-WR: When Favre leaves (or if he's gone), SR's value is much lower

Dwayne Bowe, KC-WR: I don't see anything great in the passing game from KC

Jay Cutler, Chi-QB: I just don't see the offense producing great numbers under Lovie Smith

Sam Bradford, STL-QB: I think he's fragile and will get pounded like Chris Chandler

 

[morehouse_slim]

I think I may be the only one on it but I like Frank Gore this year.

- no one to really challenge for carries, will get receptions as well

- coaching philosophy focuses on running and playing defense

- weak division with multiple games against Rams and Seahawks

- ability to break long tds

as far as Rbs, I also like the undervalued Ryan Grant, like Jahvid Best and Bradshaw.

 

[CravenM]

Randy Moss is intriguing, isn't he at the last year of his current contract? do you believe he'll have a great season that will earn him a new lucrative contract for 2011 and beyond?

In 12 years, Randy Moss has averaged about 1200 yards and 12 receiving TDs with a 15.6 YPC. This was pretty close to exactly what he did last year even with the "scandal" that some people said he was taking plays off - AND playing against Derrelle Revis twice. In my league's scoring, he was once again the #1 WR.At age 33, I think Randy Moss is going to have another monster year with his contract in mind and not yet having won a Super Bowl. As for Dynasty, I think he might have 3-4 years left. He usually doesn't get tagged very hard because of the routes he runs and the respect he commands and has only missed 6 games in 12 years.

 

[CravenM]

I think I may be the only one on it but I like Frank Gore this year.- no one to really challenge for carries, will get receptions as well- coaching philosophy focuses on running and playing defense- weak division with multiple games against Rams and Seahawks- ability to break long tdsas far as Rbs, I also like the undervalued Ryan Grant, like Jahvid Best and Bradshaw.

I like Gore and the SF offense this year but as the #6 RB (FBG Dynasty ranking), I think he's about appropriate and probably won't slip under anybody's radar. I thought Glenn Coffee might challenge him last year and I'm worried about Anthony Dixon as well.Gore certainly has exceptional talent and I like the philosophy of the offense though.

 

[Donnybrook]

Rashard Mendenhall - Might be my pick for fantasy bust of 2010.

Care to elaborate? I actually think he is one of the safest RBs out there. I'd be interested to hear your reasons why you think Mendenhall will bust.

I wouldn't call him a bust but he seems over-rated. He broke a 100 yards in 3 games last season - all came against the AFC west teams. He did not perform well against divisional opponents. He will need to carry a bigger load with Rothlisberger out of the lineup for the first 4-6 games. I hear the experts saying that Shonn Greene physical running style could lead to injury. Well, Mendenhall style is very similar. I also think Dwyer could work his way into the RB rotation.

 

[leave a whisper]

on:

QB - Romo (maybe top 2 this year)

RB- Cadillac (great value IMO)

WR - Jennings (top 3 this year)

TE - Gonzo (i'll let the others take Celek & Finley)

off:

QB - Eli (i think they are gonna run it a F-ton)

RB - Harrison (Hardesty is the real deal)

WR - Smith,Car. (injuries, QB play, 2 top 15 RB's)

TE - Cooley (Davis looked good last year)

 

[Bob Henry]

1. Love Dez Bryant. Rookie or not, he can be an immediate factor this year. His presence could even curtail Miles Austin. 2. Shonn Greene - The Jets love to run and now he's their best RB. LT's best days are over. This is Greene's show.3. Justin Forsett - Looking great in OTAs and camp. The release of LenDale really opens the door for him.4. Jay Cutler - Has the ability that Martz salivates over. Too much success from Martz QBs for him not to be productive. 5. Pierre Thomas - Rushing and receiving skills make him a dual threat.

His speed and quickness make him a threat. He's only going to get better.8. Devin Hester - Throw Johnny Knox in there too. Martz loves speedy and quick WRs. Both could be big in the new Bears offense9. Sammie Stroughter - Love this kid. The Bucs have a lot of inexperience at WR. I like Stroughter's desire and dedication to be a team player10. Fred Davis - In limited action (mostly after Cooley injury), he caught 48 balls. Mc5 loves to use the TE. Davis is next in line and I think he overtakes Cooley in 2010.

I hope we're not drafting next to each other in any leagues this year, Jeff... sheeesh. One or both of us might be reaching heavily to pre-empt the other. or

 

[Gopher State]

ON

LT, love all the talk that he's to old, broke down, I take his 10 goal line tds this year in a heatbeat for a song

FAVRE, another old broke down player, will out perform his ADP by a mile, and yes he is coming back

CRABTREE break out second year

CHESTER TAYLOR he maybe old, but the tires and miles are like new, Forte is no better then a 3rd down back

OFF

Best Det, the kid will never make it though the season without getting hurt, biggest bust this year

Austin one year wonder?

Grant GB, don't see the td's this year, and Rogers is to much of a vulture on the goal line

 

[Instinctive]

Devin Hester. He looked really impressive to open the season last year (especially for a guy who had only been playing WR for 3 years), but was injured and ineffective down the stretch and now people are writing him off for a guy who had 2 receptions for 16 yards prior to Hester's injury (and who failed to record a single statistic in 2 of his 4 seasons in the league). Through 8 weeks, Hester was on pace for 82/1100 receiving. Now he's the #1 WR in a Mike Martz offense.As far as I know, it's a pretty lonely bandwagon. I know that Bloom is on here with me, but other than that there's plenty of room.

I've been on that bandwagon since day 1 of the conversion project. 100% agree.

On

Tony Romo - too many weapons at his disposal.

Off

Jonathan Stewart - Stewart has to play a full season before I jump on his bandwagon.

Reggie Bush - Backup Rb at best, too many injury problems

 

[ddarroch4]

Shonne Greene, Jermichael Finley and Peter Waiter aka Pierre Garcon

People I'm band wagoning on at each position:

QB: Peyton Manning (to retake #1 with 2004 type numbers)

RB: Knowshon Moreno

WR: Chad Ochocinco

TE: Jermichial Finley

I will reach for all of those guys.

He's never missed a game in his career. I'm not sure what more you could want

1. Love Dez Bryant. Rookie or not, he can be an immediate factor this year. His presence could even curtail Miles Austin. 2. Shonn Greene - The Jets love to run and now he's their best RB. LT's best days are over. This is Greene's show.3. Justin Forsett - Looking great in OTAs and camp. The release of LenDale really opens the door for him.4. Jay Cutler - Has the ability that Martz salivates over. Too much success from Martz QBs for him not to be productive. 5. Pierre Thomas - Rushing and receiving skills make him a dual threat. Now it's his show. 6. Ronnie Brown - People are forgetting about him. The guy is a Top 6 RB when healthy. MIA runs their offense around him. 7. Percy Harvin - Still learning how to be a WR. His speed and quickness make him a threat. He's only going to get better.8. Devin Hester - Throw Johnny Knox in there too. Martz loves speedy and quick WRs. Both could be big in the new Bears offense9. Sammie Stroughter - Love this kid. The Bucs have a lot of inexperience at WR. I like Stroughter's desire and dedication to be a team player10. Fred Davis - In limited action (mostly after Cooley injury), he caught 48 balls. Mc5 loves to use the TE. Davis is next in line and I think he overtakes Cooley in 2010.

I hope we're not drafting next to each other in any leagues this year, Jeff... sheeesh. One or both of us might be reaching heavily to pre-empt the other. or

Nice BH. I graduated by the skin of my teeth to the FESL Alpha league this year (most points). Not sure if we will bump heads or not...unless we do a staff dynasty or IDP league.

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

Basically all this means is that I like or don't like these players relative to their ADP. I would still have some of my off guys on my roster, but I likely won't be able to get them where I value them at. This is strictly for redraft.

I'm on the Aaron Hernandez bandwagon. I think he's going to post very nice FF stats - sooner not later.

I hit on Mike Wallace in the 2009 4th round of my dynasty draft...Mr. Hernandez is my 4th round pick this year, and I am hoping to keep the streak going! (Whitehurst was my other 4th round pick, so I feel good either way!)
