Big time receivers were the story in the second round of our ten team PPR mock draft, as Roddy White, Larry Fitzgerald, Greg Jennings, Vincent Jackson and Hakeem Nicks were all selected. Just a few weeks ago, Jackson wasn't in this range but his hot preseason, has made his ADP value shoot up as the days go by. Why not, as Philip Rivers is likely to be one of the top candidates for league MVP, and Jackson se ...

In the third round of our ten team mock draft, hosted by Fantasy Football Calculator, running backs and wide receivers dominated the round as no quarterbacks were selected. One player who caught my eye in this round was Cowboys running back Felix Jones, as it appears, his stock has flown up the board in recent weeks, and his performance against the Chargers didn't hurt on prime-time television. The starting ...

Great quarterbacks were still on the board in the fourth round of our ten team PPR mock draft as Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning were all selected. Of the three, Brady may be the best of the bunch, as reports out of New England have him looking in mid-season form already. The addition of Chad Ochocinco only gives Brady another weapon to use as he carves up opposing defenses, and looks to build in h ...

As has been the case in many mock drafts this summer, no tight ends went in this mock until the fifth round, but we did see four go in this round. Jermichael Finley was the fourth tight end off the board, and while he's had a slow camp, since returning from his knee injury, he did have a touchdown in his latest preseason game. Finley will likely start the season slow, so don't be surprised if he looks very ...

To help you get ready for draft day, I've gone ahead and broken down the ADP values as listed on ESPN and Yahoo to give you a comparison of where recent trends have the top receivers landing in drafts. Listed as the top receiver for both sites is Texans' star Andre Johnson. Johnson is a worthy option as the number one overall selection, but my only problem with this beast of a receiver is that he's failed t ...

While Ben Roethlisberger plays on a team that has a long history for running the football, it's clear that while he's in the prime of his career, Pittsburgh will continue to put the football in the air. Why not, as the Steelers have done a good job of providing Roethlisberger with solid depth at receiver in recent years. While Roethlisberger isn't one of the elite quarterbacks in fantasy football, he's stil ...

It seems like Vernon Davis is falling out of favor as one of the true elite tight ends for fantasy football based on the 49ers struggles from 2010, and the projected issues they might have this season. As a 49er fan, I can tell you that recent years have been hard to watch, but I can promise you that new Head Coach Jim Harbaugh's offensive scheme and play calling will be superior to the garbage this team ha ...

A fine example of the drastic differences between ESPN and Yahoo ADP trends can be found with running back Shonn Greene. On ESPN Greene's ADP stands in at 63.4 but on Yahoo, he's going much higher than that as he's listed at a 29.6 value. Not all the running backs listed between the two sites have this gap, but you can find others like Jahvid Best who is going at 48.8 on ESPN but landing way down at 83.8 in ...

Moving into the third week of the preseason, it's time to take another look at the latest trends for values, sleepers, busts as are currently going in draft results. For the first time in our podcast's history, we have expert writer Matt De Lima on as he breakdown some of the players to target and to avoid in the first five rounds of your draft, as the first of a two-part podcast show. As usual, I have this ...

With most of the fantasy leagues for 2011 yet to draft, I thought it would be a good time to breakout our 2011 sleepers as we are now in the middle of August. Usually I would have our undervalued player articles up before this month but because of the lockout situation, and drastic player movement, I decided to wait until things cooled down. Below I have selected those running backs that I feel are underval ...
