This could be the start of a career year for Calvin Johnson as he started off with a bang against the Buccaneers with two touchdowns on the road. As long as Matthew Stafford is on the field for a full season, it wouldn't shock me if Johnson made a run for twenty touchdowns this year. Look for Megatron to have another stealer performance against the a Chiefs defense that will be without star safety Eric Berr ...

Listed as the 34th receiver on our week one rankings, rookie A.J. Green will likely have his ups and downs this year with a rookie quarterback under-center. That said, this week could be a worthy start for Green as a WR-3 play. The Browns are switching to a 4-3 scheme on defense, and the Bengals young offense should take advantage and play a respectable game. Look for Green to haul in at least four catches ...

Delving into recent mock draft trends for PPR leagues I decided to break down a recent mock I participated in on Fantasy Football Calculator website. Below I have a listed all fifteen rounds and the players I selected in each round. I've also included some thoughts on each player to help you with some possible final thoughts before you entire your live draft. You can also find a breakdown of the first five ...

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 ...

With Chris Johnson's continued holdout for a new contract, I'm sure many of you are concerned about his prospects to play most of this season. While Johnson will likely miss time into the season, I still recommend you look to him as one of the top six running backs to own in keeper / dynasty leagues. Sure, in the short run that might mean you have to pick up an extra mid round running back to use in your li ...

Just look at last years' breakout receivers like Brandon Lloyd, Steve Johnson, rookie Mike Williams as reasons to believe that you can find top twenty options at this position, if you do a little ground work to understand who is getting an opportunity to excel. While it's nice to have the skill set of a Calvin Johnson, where you can still be a top producer no matter who's around in the offense, many receive ...

With the first week of the 2011 NFL preseason behind us, it's time to take a look at some of the changes to fantasy values. On our weekly podcast, we broke down a few points of interest as listed below, to give you some perspective on changes happening around the league.On this post, I have included the full podcast discussion, but you can hear our thoughts for any one of the topics below, by heading over t ...

With DeAngelo Williams set to hit free agency, it looks like Jonathan Stewart will finally get the starting job for the Panthers to begin the year. Sadly, the Panthers have fallen a long way from where they were in Stewart's rookie season, when they were riding high atop the NFC South. Because of Stewart's continued health problems over his first three seasons, it seems the hype or love in fantasy circles h ...

While I have my doubts about Michael Turner holding up past this season, he still makes for one of the better pure touchdown makers in fantasy football. Understanding this, it makes perfect sense to target Turner as one of the top five running backs to select in touchdown only leagues, and a clear first round pick. The Falcons are set to make a run for the division title once again, and while they may lose ...

Perhaps Mike Wallace won't finish as one of the top twenty in receptions this season, but he's still worthy of being a top ten receiver in PPR fantasy football leagues. Coming into the summer Wallace checks in at No.28 overall in our ppr top 200 cheat sheet, and that places him as a third round selection in ten and twelve team formats. Wallace will have Ben Roethlisberger from the start of the season this y ...
