2010 Fantasy Football Rankings – San Francisco 49ers: Updated 5/22 Alex Smith, QB, 49ers. Bye: 9. Believe it or not, Alex Smith wasn’t a terrible fantasy quarterback in 2009. In 11 games, he compiled 2,350 yards, 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Extend that over a 16-game stretch, and you get 3,418 yards, 26 scores and…

2010 Fantasy Football Rankings – San Diego Chargers: Updated 5/26 Philip Rivers, QB, Chargers. Bye: 10. Philip Rivers finished the 2009 season with 4,254 yards, 28 touchdowns and nine interceptions. More importantly was how he played down the stretch – he eclipsed 260 yards in every game between Weeks 12-16. The only concern with Rivers…

2010 Fantasy Football: Start Em, Sit Em: Week 17 Rather than quickly listing start em and sit em players on my Week 17 NFL Picks page, I thought I’d devote a new page for this. Panthers at Falcons Start Em: Jonathan Stewart, RB, Panthers Atlanta’s not very good against the run. Obvious Starts: CAR: None….

July 27, 2010. The following is a round-by-round blueprint of how I plan on drafting in my fantasy football leagues this summer. Keep in mind that depending on the circumstances, you might not be able to completely follow this strategy once your draft begins. There could be a run on a certain position; an unexpected…

2010 Fantasy Football Rankings – Tennessee Titans: Updated 5/29 Vince Young, QB, Titans. Bye: 9. Vince Young is an erratic passer playing in a run-first offense, so he’s not a consistent fantasy producer. His rushing yards sometimes make up for his pedestrian passing numbers, but that’s not something you can count on. Projected 2010 Fantasy…

2010 Fantasy Football Rankings – Dallas Cowboys: Updated 6/4 Tony Romo, QB, Cowboys. Bye: 4. Tony Romo finally got over his December inconsistency and finished the 2009 season with 4,483 yards, 26 touchdowns and nine interceptions. That’s pretty amazing considering he didn’t have a legitimate No. 1 receiver until Miles Austin-Jones stepped up in Week…

2010 Fantasy Football Rankings – Seattle Seahawks: Updated 5/29 Charlie Whitehurst, QB, Seahawks. Bye: 5. Matt Hasselbeck is old, injury-prone and part of the old regime, so Charlie Whitehurst is likely to see extensive action in 2010. How he’ll play is unknown. Whitehurst is essentially a rookie with a sub-par offensive line, questionable rushing attack…

2010 Fantasy Football Rankings – New Orleans Saints: Updated 5/28 Drew Brees, QB, Saints. Bye: 10. I like Drew Brees as a 2010 fantasy prospect, but not as much as everyone else. And it has nothing to do with the Madden Curse. OK, maybe a little. The big thing here is post-Super Bowl complacency. Not…

2010 Fantasy Football Rankings – Washington Redskins: Updated 6/5 Donovan McNabb, QB, Redskins. Bye: 9. Donovan McNabb goes from DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin and Jason Avant as his receivers to Santana Moss, Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly. Blah. Then again, McNabb did throw for 3,365 yards and 21 touchdowns in a season when his wideouts…

2010 Fantasy Football Rankings – Denver Broncos: Updated 5/24 Kyle Orton, QB, Broncos. Bye: 9. Kyle Orton may have the arm strength of a 12-year-old girl, but he did post some solid fantasy numbers in 2009 (3,802 yards, 21 TDs, 12 INTs). However, Brandon Marshall and Tony Scheffler are gone, and Brady Quinn and eventually…
