2011 Fantasy Football TE Rankings

Screw the NFL and the NFLPA. I am going to start thinking about the 2011 NFL season.

So here is my initial TE rankings for 2011 based on 4 pts per TD pass, 6 per TD rush/receiving, 1 pt per 10 yds rushing/rec, 1 pt per 20 yds passing, -1 for INTs and 1 Point per reception

I am also adding in Bold where I think they should go in a normal 12 team PPR draft.

TE

1. Antonio Gates, SD-The best for many years (4.01)

2. Dallas Clark, IND-Hurt for much of 2010. Will be under appreciated in 2011. (4.05)

3. Jermichael Finley, GB-Same note as #2 above. (4.06)

4. Jason Witten, DAL-Did great with Jon Kitna dumping it off to him. Don't expect as much PPR points with Tony Romo throwing to him. (4.12)

5. Vernon Davis, SF-He had that "A-ha" moment in 2010. Let's hope it continues into 2011 (5.05)

--------------------End TTE Tier 1---------------------------------------------------

6. Owen Daniels, HU-Inujry concerns keep him lower (7.06)

7. Chris Cooley, WAS-Seems to always be in the top 8 (8.03)

8. Merceded Lewis, JAX-If he can build on last year he could be top tier TE (9.08)

---------------------End TE Tier 2---------------------------------------------------

9. Kellen Winslow, TB- He has to show something sometime (11.08)

10. Zach Miller, OAK-Super TE on a terrible team (11.12)

I just hope we have something to play for in 2011.

Top 20 RBs for fantasy football 2009

Top 20 Fantasy Football Running Backs for 2009-Updated 16 Feb 2009

Marshawn Lynch is back in the news for some "bad boy" trouble. I have taken the liberty of dropping him in my rankings. Fred Jackson gets a bump up though.

1 Matt Forte CHI-Da Bears only weapon=lots of touches
2 Adrian Peterson MIN-Third year is the charm, no injuries (fingers crossed)
3 Brian Westbrook PHI-In a PPR league he is money in the bank
4 Michael Turner ATL-"burner" is the future of ATL, schedule may be tougher
5 Marion Barber DAL-16 games in 2009 make him Top 5
6 Steven Jackson STL-New coach, new SJAX
7 M. Jones-Drew JAX-Drops some due to worry full time roll may have
8 L Tomlinson SD-Older.......with SD in 2009??? Sproles looks pretty good
9 De Williams CAR-RBBC with Jonathan Stewart has me lowering expectations
10 Clinton Portis WAS-#1 RB for most of 2008. Top 10 despite coach/RB issues
11 Frank Gore SF-If SF was not so far behind most of the 2nd half each game
12 Steve Slaton Hou-A little sophmore slump
13 Chris Johnson TEN-RBBC means out of Top 10
14 Thomas Jones NYJ-Another QB to deal w means fall in standings for my Wahoo
15 Brandon Jacobs NYG-Durability issues, but with D Ward leaving....
16 Pierre Thomas NO-Can a sleeper technically have done so well the yr prior?
17 Reggie Bush NO-Points per reception (PPR) baby!
18 Ronne Brown MIA-MIA will not surprise anyone this year. Good run game
19 Joseph Addai IND-Not a Top 5 RB but a Top 20 for sure. Injury issues
20 Darren McFadden-Only problem will be OAK playing from behind too much

Dropped from RB15 to out is Marshawn Lynch BUF-for off the field issues recently. Move Fred Jackson up big time. He could be the BUF starter in Sep as this is Lynch's second brush with the law in a year.
