WJW Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The Huddle's Kevin Ratterree has penned his annual list of players you should avoid in your fantasy drafts this year. Always an interesting and thought provoking list. Fantasy Players to Avoid in 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delfamdelfam Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 pretty much agree with all of them. Mathews I would draft, but only if he fell to like 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papajohn Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Cam Newton and Ryan Mathews shouldn't fall far before I would take a gamble, but the rest do i totally agree with, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 pretty much agree with all of them. Mathews I would draft, but only if he fell to like 8 this, but Matthews will have to fall farther than he's going to for me to take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Definitely an interesting transition year this year... Even more discrepancies than normal between the free-hosting site's rankings (more backward-looking at past production) versus Huddle rankings (forward-looking) and particularly dynasty rankings. I also noticed this large difference between ffcalculator mocks and MFL ADP (for a player like Fred Jackson or Turner, it's the difference between a 2nd and 4th/5th round pick). Obviously most of us here are more forward-thinking, as this article alludes to, so stand less likely to chase past production.... But regardless, there does seem to be a battle between the old guard and the new prospects, and so I can imagine that opinions will only continue to vary about who's done and ready to explode (we just had a split debate in the advice forum about AJ vs. A.J.). One of the more interesting years I can recall, and really really top-heavy with great talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the more interesting years I can recall, and really really top-heavy with great talent. Yeah I agree. I usually use FFcalculator for my general idea of where players will go but it's different drafting with Huddlers. In the Huddler mock #1 I think Turner went like 25 spots later than with ffcalc and Steve Jackson like 18 spots later. It depends with who you draft with i guess and knowing how they are going to draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I would totally draft Andre Johnson this season if only because he should be had at a bargain. He's had his share of injuries but last year was just a bothersome hammy (I think). I think he could be drafted in round 3 or possibly round 4 and that is a steal in a PPR assuming him and Schaub are healthy. Everyone else I won't be drafting either. I think Matthews will be fine but I don't draft RBs early enough to get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he will ever be available in the fourth round, but if he was I would choose him right away also. He has tons of upside for a fourth round pick.
