There will be many more 2011 Fantasy Football Rankings and features in the late spring and summer, including tons of 2011 Fantasy Football Mock Drafts and Player Rankings. I’ll also have an extensive 2011 NFL Fantasy Football Preseason Stock Report. Follow me @walterfootball for updates.
2011 Fantasy Football – Mailbag (June 5):
The following two 2011 Fantasy Football mailbag questions are regarding the Fox Sports Fantasy Football Draft.
You talked yourself right into waiver wire fodder on Collie in round 7. I like almost all your other picks..but I don’t know who was on the board. You would be better off taking another kicker before drafting Collie. Like if you are drafting IDP, Ras-I Dowling will miss at least 9 games this year…great talent…built out of egg shells.
–> I absolutely love Austin Collie this year. He’s one of my favorite sleepers right now. When healthy, he’s a stud capable of posting WR1 numbers. Yes, the concussions are an issue, but he only had two last year, and is currently completely healthy. Will he last 16 games? I don’t know. But I’m looking forward to getting WR1-type numbers out of my seventh-round pick for at least 10 weeks.
Any way you can post the results of the whole draft? I’d like to see where the other players are being draft at. BTW Nice value on Best and Collie.
–> Thanks! I’d like to post the results of the whole draft, but I was asked just to list my picks. The FOX Sports Fantasy Football magazine will be released later this month, so you can see the complete results in there.
The following six 2011 Fantasy Football mailbag questions are regarding the early 2011 Fantasy Football Top 150 Cheat Sheet.
You have Peyton Hillis way too low! You’re an idiot!
–> I loved Peyton Hillis last year. I drafted him in most of my leagues. But he is No. 66 in my early cheat sheet this year.
I know Hillis is being drafted in the second round of some early fantasy mocks, but I don’t care. Hillis really wore down at the end of last season, and now he has to share carries with Montario Hardesty, whom the Browns really like. Plus, you can’t possibly ignore the dreaded Madden Curse.
You can go ahead and draft Hillis in the second or third round if you want. I guarantee you’ll be searching for a new starting running back in Week 8 or 9 if you do.
Where is Pettigrew he had 722 yards and 71 receptions. those r good stats for a 2nd year TE
–> The early cheat sheet was exactly what that adjective indicates – early. I miscalculated some players because I didn’t complete my fantasy rankings just yet. I do like Brandon Pettigrew, and he definitely will be listed when I update my cheat sheet soon.
Curious, I know its one spot but how/why is Mclin ahead of D Jack?
–> DeSean Jackson will be ahead of Jeremy Maclin when this is updated, but they are very close. I don’t trust Jackson. He’s too brittle. After he was knocked around in the Houston game, he ran nothing but go routes. He did nothing after the second Dallas game for that reason. He also doesn’t catch many touchdown passes, and he’s very inconsistent. Furthermore, I don’t trust Philadelphia’s quarterback to stay healthy behind that weak offensive line.
I’m not going to have Jackson on any of my fantasy teams this year.
As someone who probably does as much or more research than sites like this one, I respectfully disagree with quite a few of the rankings. Where’s the QB in Arizona? Larry Fitz is nothing without one. 22 is waaaaaaay too high. You’d have to be on drugs to spend a low third round pick on him.
–> For all the research you did, you failed to look at Larry Fitzgerald’s stats last year. He had 90 catches, 1,137 yards and six touchdowns. Yeah, he’s nothing all right. Fitzgerald’s quarterbacking situation will automatically improve in 2011 because either Kevin Kolb or Kyle Orton is better than the drunken Derek Anderson.
Jamaal Charles in the second round? cmon. he had BY FAR the highest ypc last year and aging thomas jones is bound to lose some of the carries. and 3 QBs in the 1st round? i was hoping to look for some good 2011 mocks to compare mine too but this is a joke.
–> Your fantasy team will be a joke if you spend an early pick on Jamaal Charles. Kansas City’s offense is going to take a MAJOR step backward in the wake of Charlie Weis’ departure, and every single player on that team will be affected – including Charles.
How am i that low should be higher. i have four 1000 yard seasons and 760 yard season but i missed a few games that year and i average 8 touchdowns a year walt
–> Sorry, Marques. I’m not a fan of you this year. You recently had the fifth knee surgery of your 5-year career, so that raises a major red flag for me. I just can’t draft you with an early pick. I’m sorry, bro.
The following two 2011 Fantasy Football mailbag questions are regarding the 2011 Fantasy Football Rookie Rankings.
Looks like you have finally learned your lesson after you extremely overvalued rookies Ryan Mathews and Knowshon Moreno the past two years. Can’t trust rookies.
–> Ehh… not really. I drafted Mike Williams in most of my leagues last year, and that worked out. I’m just not a fan of rookies this year because of the lockout.
Why do you include a guy like Murray, who you presume will have no impact whatsoever, but not Shane Vereen, who will definitely take away carries from the Law Firm (who’s stock is down after the draft)?
–> Because I have no idea what Bill Belichick is going to do with his backfield. I think I’m just going to avoid all New England Patriot running backs all together and let the other owners in my league figure that one out. Seriously, anything can happen there, and I wouldn’t be surprised.
