Kelly / USA TODAY Sports DeAndre Hopkins HOU (1st RD) - While Cordarrelle Patterson may have the best upside from a raw skills perspective in this years class, it is Deandre Hopkins that is No.1 on my board. In Hopkins you have the most polished receiver in this class and he should be a slam dunk, week one starter opposite Andre Johnson. At worst case Hopkins will be a bye week starting ...

Photo By: Jayne Kamin-Oncea / USA TODAY Sports We don't have a deep class of running backs this year, with starter upside. It's probably a good idea to pass on running backs in the middle rounds of your draft if you should miss out on the first eight backs on this list. Giovani Bernard, CIN (1st Round) - Bernard had a hard upbringing as his mom passed away when he was a kid and he even lived with another fa ...

Vasquez / USA TODAY Sports Tyler Eifert, CIN (1st Round) - Perhaps a sign the Bengals aren't happy with what they've seen from Jermaine Gresham as they went for the top tight end in this years draft, with one of their two first-round picks. I had the chance to hear an interview with Eifert on Movin' The Chains, about a week before the draft and they asked him if he'd visited any teams for ...

Photo By: Derick E. Hingle / US PRESSWIRE Instead of just using Mark Ingram and Pierre Thomas as a two-headed backfield in New Orleans the Saints activated Chris Ivory and used a three-man attack. We've seen this in the past and while it will continue to frustrate fantasy owners, we should like what we saw from the ground game last week. Of the three backs look to Thomas as the top flex play option. Thomas ...

Photo By: Don McPeak / US PRESSWIRE Among those player that have already gone through a bye weeks this season, Brandon Marshall is second in the league after Reggie Wayne in targets and is listed in the top five in receptions. After his three touchdown effort least week, Marshall is now on pace for a career high in touchdowns with seven already on the season. These are the numbers we hoped for when Marshall ...

Photo By: Icon SMI The Bills coaching staff continues to have problems finding ways to give both Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller the amount of touches they truly deserve. It's times like this that show the difference in playing in a PPR league rather than a standard league. No running back has more targets (24) or receptions (18) than Jackson or the past four weeks. Even Spiller is ranked eleventh among runni ...

Photo By: Bruce Kluckhohn / US PRESSWIRE No one can deny that Larry Fitzgerald is a superior player to his fellow teammate Andre Roberts. Up to this point in the world of PPR fantasy football however, I'm sure you'll find Roberts total points to be right about on par with Fitzgerald this season. Both are top twenty scorers at the receiver position in PPR leagues. Not only is Roberts on par with Fitzgerald b ...

Photo By: Byron Hetzler / US PRESSWIRE Just a season ago Darren Sproles was a top five fantasy back in PPR leagues. While Sproles has moved up into the top fifteen backs for PPR leagues because of his recent play, it was a very slow start for the veteran in September, outside of a big game against the Panthers. When we take a look at Sproles production from last year to this year, his overall numbers in the ...

Photo By: Jason Bridge / US PRESSWIRE After a breakout season that sent Antonio Brown to the Pro Bowl in 2011, it appeared he was ready to emerge as a top fifteen fantasy receiver in PPR leagues this summer. At that time, Mike Wallace was mired in a prolonged holdout and the odds were against him to make an impact through the first half of the season. Brown on the other hand, was given a new contract and lo ...

Photo By: Dennis Wierzbicki / US PRESSWIRE It's been a tough start for the Lions passing game and the loss of Nate Burleson won't help. Then again, it might be just what this team needs as rookie Ryan Broyles will find more playing time. Broyles is an ideal slot receiver and should be a nice compliment to what Calvin Johnson, Titus Young and Brandon Pettigrew bring to the table. While Matthew Stafford conti ...
