Mook vs Fantasy Football

It's almost time for fantasy football... i'm still trying to make the final moves for a few baseball leagues- there is still 2 months left, so a lot of time for me to catch up to 1st... hopefully many will just focus on football now (i'm in 9 leagues 1st in 4, 2nd in one, 3rd in 2, 5th in 2 (of 12 & 15 teams)).

Meanwhile i rocked football last year, after going WR,WR,TE in the first 3 rds... fantasy experts begone! i made a killing by grabbing Ray Rice in about every league... some as a free agent even- though i targetted him in rd 8-10. i also grabbed Rashard Mendenhall in most drafts around then... and got Matt Schaub in rd 8 and Brett Favre in rd 13 while everyone else was grabbing their QB in rds 2-4...

So, i will help you win your fantasy football league.

QB
This year i may try to grab a QB early as Brees & Rodgers seem head & shoulders above the rest... but if i'm going late - and why not if 6 teams go early, you can wait til round 8,9 or 10 to get your starting QB

1. Joe Flacco:
i'm a believer. Bolden will help a lot. Flacco is about to bust out
2. Chad Henne:
didn't really like him that much at Michigan, but he was a 4 year started, added Brandon Marshall
3. Jay Cutler:
they will throw a lot under Martz
4. Kevin Kolb:
not much of a sleeper anymore

RB
if you're not getting a top 5 pick, it's not really fair. i don't know if there are any sleepers this year - everyone is expecting the young guys this year... so maybe you have to go with old vets... some guys to consider late

1. LT: i don't believe in Shon Greene... good line... competitor... and he still scored last year... got him in the 12th rd

2. Reggie Bush: his off-season may push him even lower... he may not be a feature back, but he does enough of everything and scores

3. Felix Jones & Marion Barbor: i'm trying to get both... i think both will put up good numbers. Barbor will score and get some yards, Felix will def get yards... and both are used to the 2-back system and should flourish in it

4. Jahvid Best/Jonothon Stewart: they're not much of sleepers as they are going 3rd/4th rd- but they'll be as good or better as people going 10-20 picks before them

WR's
i don't care who is QB'ng Arizona, Larry Fitzgerald will be good- he just catches everything... still i think Greg Jennings will be great, and i like Brandon Marshall and both these guys could be available in rd 3

1. Wes Welker: the guy is never appreciated
2. Percy Harvin: a big play player, look for him to be like DeSean Jackson
3. Devin Hester: everyone is focused on the other guys, but i think he'll be like Az-Kim in Martz system and return kicks again
4. Bernard Berrian: he looked like a probowler with Grossman in Chi. Still a big target for Favre, and no Rice...
5. Mike Wallace:

TE
i always take TE's early -just as i try to secure 2b, SS & C's in baseball... There are just a few elite players at the TE position. Antonio Gates & Dallas Clark will get you points like a WR, but fill the TE position. Your 2nd tier TE's will not be as good as 3rd tier WR's... i do lke Jermichael Finley a bit too...
Sleepers:

1. Dustin Keller : gotta stick with my Purdue guys, but he'll be available in rd 14 and may be as good as the #7 TE taken
2. Kellen Winslow Jr: the guy is still good and there is no one else to throw to in TB


Overall, i say grab a top RB early this time, and if you don't grab a top 7 QB, wait- but it may be worth the investment to get a QB early... and don't be afraid of going after a TE early. There will be a lot of good RB's in rd 5-10, stock up. Someone will flop, someone will amaze.
