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 ...

Running back Chris Johnson may watch his fantasy stock drop out of the first round, in standard redraft leagues, because of his expected holdout, when the league returns from its never ending lockout. While many fantasy owners will have their concerns about Johnson's health, should he miss time into the season, his long term projections still find him atop our running back dynasty rankings. Sure, Tennessee ...

While wide receivers are still important in standard fantasy football leagues, they don't hold the same auction values for PPR leagues because of the loss in point production for receptions. This is why Calvin Johnson is our only pass catcher listed at the 40 dollar level or higher for 200 dollar cap auction drafts. Andre Johnson and Roddy White are close seconds because they have top end track records, but ...

If you were to compare out auction ppr league cheat sheet with our standard redraft league auction cheat sheet you would notice that values are a little lower for quarterbacks, kickers, team defense and those position players who fail to rack up a respectable amount of receptions. The reason is simple, in these leagues the main difference is that you're getting point production for receptions and only runni ...

Dolphins' rookie running back Daniel Thomas will look to make his mark in fantasy football leagues right away, as he attempts to win the starting job. Unless the Dolphins bring in an experienced veteran who will take the job from Thomas (don't expect that to happen) this kid should see the bulk of the work in the Dolphins backfield. Pre-free agency, we have Thomas as a 1,000 yard runner and a good bet to sc ...

Brandon Marshall's first year in Miami proved to be a disappointment as he struggled with nagging injuries and failed to be a useful starting option for standard redraft scoring leagues. For some reason, I actually have a funny feeling that, if given the chance, quarterback Chad Henne will have a better season than last year. If so, and most of all if Marshall can stay healthy, he should return to be a top ...

It's time to get ready for another fantasy football season, and we have a sampling of the top 200 plus players rated for consideration at your fantasy drafts. The first 179 players on the list are taken from Mock Draft Central's listing for standard redraft league results.

Kickers are like the red headed step child of a fantasy football team. Sure, you don't want them around, but in the end, they are a part of the family, and it wouldn't be polite not to invite them to social gatherings. While many fantasy owners may use the close your eye's and pick one approach to this position, finding a good one can make the difference when you're in a close head to head matchup. Veteran ...

The Rankings for our PPR Tier Cheat Sheet are much like that of our regular cheat sheet for PPR and our PPR player rankings found on the page. The one main difference is well, these rankings are tiered to give you an idea of the lumped degrees of talent at each position as found under general PPR league rules. Each position is color coded with the varying levels or tiers of rankings for whom we think are th ...

The main difference from PPR leagues vs standard redraft leagues are that you have added points for receptions. Many PPR leagues will give you one point per reception but some leagues may issue half a point or a set number of points for let's say each three receptions a player accumulates. In this style of play, the running backs, wide receivers and tight ends tend to see the flux in total point production, ...
