2010 Fantasy Draft: Who To Draft?

[FLACCOisFUTURE]

Looking into my roster from 2009, and looking at who dominated last year, as well as looking at free agency and draft projections, I've compiled a list of good players to draft and when to draft them.
[b]
[u]QB:[/b][/u]
[b]Payton Manning[/b] (#1 QB) Draft in 1st Round. Manning always looks good, and hardly ever has a bad day. He puts up good fantasy points consistently, and won many games for me in the 2009 season.

[b]Joe Flacco[/b] (#2 QB) Draft in 5th Round if available. With the weapons that are surrounding Flacco now (Todd Heap, Ray Rice, Donte Stallworth, Anquan Boldin), it's hard not to pick him as a solid #2 QB. Underneath passes to Ray Rice are deadly, and Stallworth is likely to be a deep threat. Good blocking gives Flacco needed time to get the ball out.

[b]Vince Young[/b] (#2B QB) Draft in 5th round if available. Vince Young wasn't a much used QB in 2009 in Fantasy leagues. If he plays, he puts up solid numbers every week, and most Fantasy owners overlook him and don't draft him.

[u][b]RB:[/b][/u]
[b]Ray Rice[/b] (#1 RB) Draft in the 2nd Round if available. Ray Rice is coming into his 3rd year and was highly productive in his 2009 season. With more weapons at WR for the Ravens, expect the defense to spread their coverage more, which means bigger gains for Rice.

[b]Cedric Benson[/b] (#1B RB) Draft in the 2nd Round if Ray Rice isn't available. Benson, like Rice, proved productive week in and week out. He put up solid numbers no matter how his team was doing. With the Bengals also looking for another good WR to line up with #85, defenses will spread their coverage more, giving Benson good running room w/ a pass underneath.
[b]
Fred Jackson[/b] (#2 RB) Draft in 6th Round. Jackson was overlooked by almost all of the Fantasy community last year, but put up good numbers. By the 6th round, if players like Steven Jackson, Adrian Peterson, Chris Johnson, Golden Tate, aren't available, Jackson is a good #2 RB.

[u][b]WR:[/b][/u]
[b]Andre Johnson[/b] (#1 WR) Draft in 3rd Round. Andre Johnson put up big numbers all through the 2009 season. With a strong passing game in Houston, Andre is a threat to any defense.

[b]Reggie Wayne[/b] (#1B WR) Draft in 3rd round if Andre Johnson isn't available. Wayne will be looking to repeat an outstanding season, and another Superbowl appearance. With talent around him, and Payton Manning at the head of their offense, Reggie Wayne will be there in your fantasy league if you make it to the playoffs.

[b]Anquan Boldin[/b] (#1C WR) Draft in 3rd round. Boldin is a threat if a good QB is on his side, and this year, he's got a talented QB. The only thing to worry about with Boldin is his injury problem.

That's all I have for now. Other good options:
Kenny Britt, WR
Matt Schaub, QB
Colt McCoy, QB
Adrian Peterson, RB
Nate Kaeding, K
Ravens, DST
Jets, DST
Braylon Edwards, WR
Shonn Green, RB
Frank Gore, RB

I thikn im going to keep ray rice, knowshon moreno and marion barber as my runner backs. matt ryan and flacco as my qbs and Im going to put my neck out and gonna go with the bears defense.

[FLACCOisFUTURE]

I drafted Moreno for 3 weeks last season, not as productive as I hoped. I'm not sure how good the Broncos will be this year. They're like the Bengals of the west.

I don't mean to sound like a negative person... but I don't see how that draft works out in 2010

Ray Rice will be gone by the first round.. if not the top 5, Andre Johnson will be gone by round 2, Flacco will be about the 5th or 6th QB taken, if people continue to buy the hype

If you can get a superstar @ QB (i.e. P. Manning, T. Brady, P. Rivers, A. Rodgers, and even possibly B. Roethlessberger, I'd probably drop Ryan... but there is some bias in that decision as well

I expect to see Ray Rice rocket up draft boards, easily a top 5. He catches too many balls out of the backfield to be ignored going forward. I see the board looking like this:
1. Chris Johnson
2. Adrian Peterson
3. Ray Rice

As far as Andre Johnson goes - he'll be the first receiver off the board and he'll go quickly. Fitzgerald no longer has a QB. Randy Moss is aging and on a team that looks to be downfalling. I'll be considering taking Johnson with my 1st round pick unless I'm a top 3.

I'm always a proponent of passing on QBs in the first and second round. Quality WRs & RBs are gone faster than serviceable QBs. People always feel the need to take Peyton or Brees or Brady in the first round. Last year the two championship teams (I being one) did not have one of those guys.

Here are some great QB pickups in later rounds:

Alex Smith - San Fran wants to pass the ball for some reason. Vernon Davis is a beast. Smith will go unnoticed for a while.
Matt Stafford - Yeah I said it. The Lions have the second pick, might solidfy the OL. Calvin Johnson, Pettigrew. The Lions are moving in the right direction for once.
Matt Ryan - He dropped off people's radars with average stats in 2009. Now's the time to draft him for good value.
Chad Henne - He can be had for great value since Pennington resigning. But Chad is the man in Miami and they want to see him develop.
Josh Freeman - He was making some noise last year without Antonio Bryant in the lineup.

This my projected first round for a 10 team league for fantasy football for 2010 draft.

1. Chris Johnson
2. Adrian Peterson
3. Aaron Rodgers
4. Maurice Jones-Drew
5. Ray Rice
6. Drew Brees
7. Andre Johnson
8. Peyton Manning
9. Frank Gore
10.Larry Fritzgerald

You are forced to pick Chris Johnson and Adrian Peterson with your first two picks. With your third you may want to shake things up and think about a solid QB that probably wont be resting during your fantasy playoffs (hint hint manning). With your 4th and 5th pick go with either one of these guys you will have a productive #1 rb all season. With the 6th pick go with Brees alot of Rbs are off the board and the guys behind you are waiting for you to mess up because they get two picks before your next pick. With pick #7 you didnt do bad you only got fantasys most productive Wr last year. Pick #8 you got a great Qb, just hope they lose a couple games so manning doesnt mess you up in the playoffs. Pick # 9 go with gore he was productive last season and you dont know what the guy behind you is thinking he could go rb-rb and take Gore and Steven Jackson. Pick #10 go with Fritz he gets into the end zone alot and boldin is gone, you remember the numbers he put up when boldin was hurt, but remember warner is gone too, but sometimes you have to take a gamble, but you get the next pick too so dont worry.

[Wacko4Zacko]

what about Michael crabtree? I had him last year as My #3 WR, do you guys think i should redraft him, im iffy ebcuase idk if he will have a good season.

[/quote]

Crabtree will be a tough one to understand in 2010 draft.

San Fransisco sort of showed that they want to be a pass happy team w/ Vernon Davis and Crabtree. But is Alex Smith actually up to the task of making Crabtree fantasy successful? Or perhaps Singletary will revert to his normal mindset of lets run the ball and play defense.

I have a feeling Crabtree should put up a decent amount of receptions. Maybe not the touchdown output one would hope. But he should be a fairly consistent point scorer. The 49ers will have a lot of plays designed to get the ball in Crabtree's hands.

Crabtree will probably get drafted later than he should. Which makes him a chance for a steal. He's already way down on many fantasy analysts boards.

But I'd consider drafting Crabtree before guys like:
Marques Colston (too inconsistent)
Chad Ochocinco
Dwayne Bowe
Percy Harvin

But I would probably draft these guys before I take Crabtree
Wes Welker
Mike Sims-Walker (if no Dez Bryant)
Miles Austin

[PuRock]

I think one of the toughest questions this year will be:

What to expect from Larry Fitzgerald? How will his production be without Warner or Boldin?

I'm not really planning on drafted Fitzgerald unless he comes to me as a steal. I'd prefer it if some chump in my league drafts him too early to save the more stable WRs for me to choose from.

I'll tell you this much. I am targeting Andre Johnson this year in the first round. Unless I have a top 2 pick, Andre Johnson will be my guy.

[Reddawn36]

I had Andre Johnson with Chris Johnson and Matt Schaub...... I won my league

[Hard Nose D]

I won my league last year with underated players, check my line up: Donavon McNabb, Chris Johnson, Thomas Jones, larry fritzgerald, Hines Ward, slot was usually Ricky Williams drafted in 16th rd. and i had brandon jacobs on my bench even though i picked him in the third rd, he turned into a lemon, and so did terrell owens another on my bench. Two high picks wasted, but i used later picks on proven veteran players. You dont know what to expect from the young players there either boom or bust. I had crabtree too i think he will be a great reciever one day but i wouldn't raise his stock quite yet.

I think Frizgerald will be frizgerald, i dont think he is going to to have a horrible season just because Warner, and Boldin departed. He will find the endzone, he will still be the teams #1 target and he still is a reliable reciever that can make difficult catch's. I would be more concerned about picking Desean Jackson early with Mcnabb's departure.

[Ed_Reed20]

Situation is one of the most important factors when drafting.

Last year, in both of of my leagues, I I picked up players like Ray Rice, Brent Celek, Steve Smith(NYG), Fred Jackson, Pierre Thomas and Mike Sims-Walker because I knew they were going to get the carries or targets.

Most of those guys will be much more coveted this year but there are new players who will receive quality looks or are just an injury away from doing so.

You have to love the diamonds in the rough and the injury promotions.

Sims-Walker, Justin Forsett & Mike Wallace were my finds last year. Wallace and Sims-Walker will both be coveted this year, especially with Holmes gone. Wallace should sky rocket up boards come draft day.

Last year my main bust was James Davis (CLE), things could've gotten interesting but an injury squashed that early.

Agreed.

With the way Davis was running in pre-season, I thought he had a legitimate shot to be OROY.

If he and Jerome Harrison can stay healthy and Mangini gives them their touches, the Browns will be a dangerous team next season, I don't care what anyone says.

Losing Boldin won't have nearly the affect on Fitz than losing Warner does.
An elite WR like Fitzgerald really is not affected greatly if there is another quality WR lined up with him. Fitz had some of his best games when Boldin was injured.
But with Warner gone, there does lie a problem. He's still going to be drafted high, no doubt about it, but w/ Derek Anderson and Matt Leinart behind center, probably gonna be a real frustrating season.
He broke 1000 last year but was still only 17th in the NFL in yards. What has stood out recently in fantasy are his TDs. 13 last year is gonna drop to 8 most likely.

I'm with you, I'm passing on Fitz this year unless he falls

[Wacko4Zacko]

I had my draft today.

I had the 2nd overall pick and I chose Ray Rice. (I dont trust AP and his fumbling, plus with Favre that means more passes, less rushes and CJ was taken 1st overall, so yeah.)

Also idk if this was a good choice, but I chose the Steelers RB Jonathan Dwyer, he was like 1st, 2nd round material and he went in like the 6th round. I think he will be a backup to Mendenhall, but I think he will get some fair shares at his carries. I also drafted Kevin Smith(lions) so if Dwyer doesnt work out, I got two quality starting backs.

I also drafted Davone Bess and Derrick Mason. My reasoning on that was because Ravens have Boldin and the Dolphins have Marshall. They will demand double teams, so that will leave Bess and Mason to get open more.

I'd take Ray Rice before MJD, but definetaly not before AP. It's not even a given that Favre will come back, even though I think he will. I would actually pick AP before CJ, just because of the hold out situation, he won't repeat 2,000 yards, and there's an increased possibility he could get hurt because of how many carries he got last year. But to each his own..

What does your team look like?

Those are pretty weak reasons not to draft Peterson in my opinion. He's in the athletic prime of his life, is guaranteed 300+ carries and no longer has Chester Taylor to take away catches. I love Rice but would only take him 4th.

I like MJD more than Rice. MJD gets more carries at the goalline the Rice. I think Rice be a better player but MJD gets more carries since he is the only good back, and the Ravens said Rice is going to get less touches this year. But I would draft him at four. CJ, AP, MJD, then Rice.

Your team is just hurting bro. Ryan is solid but you can't expect him to live up to the top tier of qb's yet. Marshall is good if it's ppr. Rice is solid but Kevin Smith at number two? But Kevin Smith is your number two back? He won't even play for half the year I bet and he is coming off an ACL surgery and Jahvid Best is there.

Then Braylon is your number two? He hasn't put up consistent numbers since he was with Derek Anderson and now he has to fight for balls with Cotchery and Holmes. And the Jets run the ball. And Sanchez blows.

Unless this is a 14 or 16 team league I don't know about it man.

Braylon is my back up. for when marshall has a bye.

I mean Jason Campbell is a free agent, so Im thinking about getting him and dropping Hakeem Nicks.

You can't be serious. I'd drop Pettigrew if you want Campbell. Tony Scheffler is going to eat into Pettigrew's targets this season.

And I just looked over at your team. Sorry man but I think you're in trouble considering Kevin Smith is your RB2 and Dwyer is your RB3.

Ouch! How many teams are in your league?

Kevin Smith now has Javid Best to share carries with. Brandon Marshall is in a run first-wildcat second-throw third system. Jets are looking to run more and Edwards also has Holmes to share the load.

I would've taken AP over Rice. AP will win a few games for you this year. With all the goal line touches he gets.

Braylon is my back up. for when marshall has a bye.

I'm digging on Campbell this year. He's got weapons around him, an offensive line that can be pretty solid. I agree with Edreed20 I'd drop Pettigrew before Nicks for Campbell.

Stafford didn't look towards TEs too often last year either and with the addition of Scheffler, it'll be hard times for Pettigrew.

Nicks is a guy that the Giants really want to involve. I look for him to surpass Steve Smith as the eventual #1 receiver

Hmm well Ben Tate is a free agent as well, should I pick him up?

I was gonna choose slaton, but someone took him with the 8th overall pick(yeah, idk he is idiot). I feel like Tate will eventually start this season.
