DAL Huddler Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 so, i've been working on my rankings for a while , what yall think? my WR tier seems a lil heavy and im contemplating cutting it down, but i still think they all will have comparable stats to each other within the same tier. what do the huddle experts say??

DAL Huddler Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 as i have done some mocks i tend to be thinkin that portis should maybe be moved up into the bottom of tier 2. hes one of my favorite RBs and if he doesnt go tackle ppl next season , then i think he'll have stts comparable to addai, gore, and westy...wht ya think??

Not that I'm saying your wrong just that he is showing up in the top 10 most places i've seen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAL Huddler Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 he's 12 on my list...and 10 is not a reach, but in my 10-team league...i will not be drafting him in the first round, regardless of draft position...just my opinion, hes a solid #2 RB, not a #1 RB for me though...

Bronco Billy Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Pretty solid work. I like that you managed to think outside the box on your 3rd tier QBs. I don't like that you have no rookie RBs in any of your 5 tiers. At least one of those RBs will make an impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soco Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I think Vick needs to drop. this dog thing looks bad and S.Smith is an easy top 2 wr. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAL Huddler Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 i actually forgot the rookies! so, yes those will be added in due time, and to let you know the tiers arent really meant to be used as 1, 2, 3 in each tier, but i will try to go in and edit them for overall rankings. yet the purpose of tiering is saying that even if steve smith is easily #2 his points will be very comparable to all in his tier (purpose of tiers, not really put to ranking...but i will work on that ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 S.Smith is an easy top 2 wr. IMO Tiers are not about assigning numerical order to players within their position. It's about grouping players within a position who you project to have similar FF numbers at the end of the season. Once an owner does this, and then establishes the relative value of the tiers between positions (for example, they may place relatively equivalent value to 4th tier RBs and 1st tier WRs), they are well on their way to having a very solid & successful draft.

NAUgrad Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 (edited) he's 12 on my list...and 10 is not a reach, but in my 10-team league...i will not be drafting him in the first round, regardless of draft position...just my opinion, hes a solid #2 RB, not a #1 RB for me though... Gotta agree here. I think Bush is going to be way over valued as he was last year. The reality is that he will be splitting time again this year with McAllister. When evaluating RB's I first look at if they will be the primary ball carrier, then what team they are on, talent, past success, coaching changes, etc. If a RB is splitting time, then they immediately move down the list simply because they will not touch the ball enough. This is also the reason why I think Alexander will be a steal this season as he is likely to be drafted later then he deserves. He's had a few injuries, but he is the RB on Seattle and I think is due to have a very solid season. I think he ends up top 6 in RB's this year.
