  1. Even with all the physical talent in the world (size, speed, leaping ability, all of which Gardner has) a reciever still has to do one thing before he can be sucessfull: CATCH THE FOOTBALL!!! Gardner has never been able to do that, his hands are like rocks. I don't see how a change of scenery can improve his hands.
  2. Gates has had one good season, Gonzo has had a ton. Gonzo always catches lots of passes for yardage, while Gates last year relied on TD totals. TDs can fluctuate from year to year much more than catches or yardage. Gonzo is easily the top TE this yr.
  3. You know, there is a side-effect to Michaels signing with ESPN that hasn't gotten any press, but is a distinct possibility. It is, in my opinion, far worse than Theismann continuing his weekly bluster on ESPN. NBC is considering hiring MARV ALBERT to be the play-by-play guy on Sunday Nights with Madden!!!! How can this be???!!!???!!
  4. He is top 10, but barely. A QB who can run for 900 yards, no matter how poor his throws, is a top fantasy QB.
  5. Tiki Barber/Curtis Martin. The vets always slip.
  6. I don't know if I'm willing to say he is done forever at this point. The dude still has amazing talent, and is only 25 this year. Granted, when he does return to the NFL he will likely be suspended for a period of time. But I think spending a year out of football might be rock bottom for him, and convince him to turn things around, stop with the drugs, and concentrate on football. But for this year it does look like he is done, though.
  7. Any thoughts on whether he will play this year, and if so, for whom??? Personally, I think that unless he shows an effort to get his alcoholism under control and get his life in order, he won't get a chance with a team this season. What do you guys think???
  8. Well, Faulk has played at least 14 games in every season but one since 1997, and his reduced workload should help him stay healthy this year. So, Faulk will probably get dinged up, but he'll likely see the field in 14 games yet again. No contradiction when I point out Faulk's recieving totals, as he was the best recieving RB ever to play this game. I still think, as I said earlier, that in clear passing situations Faulk will see the field ahead of Jackson, while in clear running situations Jackson will play. Both Faulk and Jackson could catch 40 passes this year, but a 190 rush 40 catch running back will never be elite, sorry. I agree that Jackson is a huge talent, and if Faulk was gone I would have him as a top 5 back. As it is though, he struggles to make the top 20 in my rankings (he is currently 19) and I could understand if some people had him out of the top 20. Clearly in keeper and dynasty leagues, you have to draft him very early, but in redraft leagues he is a below-average starting back, IMO.
  9. Jackson will be the main running back, but in Martz system the main running back has only recieved 250-260 carries anyway. Don't believe me, check out Faulk's carries back in 99, 2000, 2001 when he was the premier back. 250ish each time. When you take into account that Faulk is still in the mix and will likely get between 80-100 carries over the course of the season, that leaves only 180-200 carries for Jackson. That drops Jackson to the late teens in my rankings automatically. I also believe that in passing situations, Martz will still be more comfortable with Faulk on the field than Jackson. Simply put, Faulk is the best pass-catching RB the game has ever seen, IMO. He has slipped a bit, but he is still very good catching screen passes, pass blocking, and doing anything else required of him in the passing game. Even if Jackson might be better than Faulk in this role, you have to expect Faulk to see significant time here anyway. I expect Faulk and Jackson to see similar numbers in the passing game. The only way Jackson becomes an elite runner this season is if Faulk gets hurt and misses significant time. You can't bank on that, so you have to drop him in your rankings.
  10. This increases the fantasy value of Todd Pinkston, Greg Lewis, and Reggie Brown
  11. I think Javon Walker can actually justify a holdout. Based on last year, no way should he only be making $500,000 this year. But as for the other holdouts, yes I belive they are unjustified and would like to see them end.
  12. Well, my team is a borderline contender, but I like to bite the bullet and go for draft picks unless I am a clearly dominant. I think I'll do it.
