2012 Fantasy Football Rankings v2.1


Just a quick rankings update on this Friday afternoon.  I'm going to keep the same format I created earlier this week, and I'll just add comments where I've moved a few guys around.  That's it.  Nothing fancy for now...

1. Arian Foster
2. Ray Rice
3. LeSean McCoy
4. Aaron Rodgers
5. Tom Brady
6. Drew Brees
7. Calvin Johnson
8. Chris Johnson
9. Darren McFadden
10.Jimmy Graham
11.Rob Gronkowski
12.Maurice Jones-Drew
13.Larry Fitzgerald
14.Greg Jennings
15.Brandon Marshall
16.Matt Forte
17.Steven Jackson
18.Jamaal Charles
19.Green-Ellis
20.Ahmad Bradshaw
21.DeMarco Murray
22.Matthew Stafford
23.Cam Newton
24.Michael Vick: His little preseason injury just reminds me of his fragility. I feel safer with Cam.
25.Adrian Peterson
26.Ryan Mathews 
27.Roddie White
28.Andre Johnson
29.Julio Jones
30.Wes Welker
31.Brandon Lloyd
32.Percy Harvin: Been reading a lot hyping up Percy.  Forgot how many rushes he got last year too.
33.AJ Green
34.Hakeem Nicks
35.Trent Richardson
36.Antonio Gates: With Witten's injury concern, Gates seems more valuable to me.
37.Victor Cruz
38.Michael Turner: OK, so I'm getting a little down on him, but Quizz looks good and he doesn't.
39.Frank Gore
40.Marshawn Lynch
41.Reggie Bush
42.Dez Bryant
43.Demaryius Thomas
44.Marques Colston
45.Darren Sproles
46.Fred Jackson
47.Willis McGahee
48.Doug Martin
49.Steve Smith
50.Antonio Brown
51.Jeremy Maclin
52.Jordy Nelson
53.Dwayne Bowe: The holdout continues, so I'll move Bowe down little by little.
54.Philip Rivers: Mathews going down means to me that SD will throw even more.
55.Tony Romo: Witten (spleen), Miles (hamstring), and Bryant (let's just say "brain injury")
56.Stevan Ridley
57.Beanie Wells
58.Donald Brown: I keep moving him up my draft board.  He could finally break out this year.
59.Isaac Redman: Getting MRI on injured groin.  Not a good way to start the season.
60.Torrey Smith
61.Eric Decker
62.Vincent Jackson
63.Stevie Johnson
64.Miles Austin
65.Vernon Davis
66.Jermichael Finley
67.Aaron Hernandez
68.Peyton Hillis: A popular "sleeper". To be featured in my "Fantasy Redeem Team" (coming soon).
69.CJ Spiller
70.Mark Ingram
71.Eli Manning
72.Peyton Manning
73.Mike Wallace
74.DeShaun Jackson
75.Pierre Garcon
76.Reggie Wayne
77.Darrius Heyward-Bey: Another guy I keep moving up.  I guess I want him this year.
78.Jared Cook: The Witten injury has me moving Cook up.  Also it sounds like Locker will start!
79.Fred Davis: Same for Fred.  Might be a little high, but if you still need a TE, he's worth reaching too.
80.Jason Witten: I don't like phrases like "possible surgery", "no timetable", or "out indefinitely".
81.Shonn Greene
82.Michael Bush
83.Toby Gerhart: AP is already looking good in practice, but Toby still great handcuff to have.
84.Kevin Smith
85.Ryan Williams
86.Montario Hardesty: Looking good with the first team in preaseason.  Just sayin...
87.RGIII
88.Matt Ryan: Moving just behind RGIII (belong in same area).  Do you want safe or a rookie risk?
89.Anquan Boldin
90.Lance Moore
91.Robert Meachem
92.Greg Little
93.Mike Williams
94.Denarius Moore
95.Ronnie Brown: Try to disregard how high he is for me because Mathews is my main keeperl.
96.Lagarette Blount
97.Ben Tate
98.Mikel Leshoure: Still not healthy enough for team drills (and there's the 2-game suspension)
99.Roy Helu
100.David Wilson
101.Brandon Pettigrew
102.Jacob Tamme: I think he's on the same tier with Pettigrew, assuming Peyton's healthy.
103.Coby Fleener: Same for Fleener.  Luck looked good in debut.
104.Robert Turbin
105.Daniel Thomas
106.Rashad Jennings
107.Cedric Benson: I don't want to get crazy moving him too high just yet, but in good situation.
108.James Starks: Cedric Benson, welcome to the party.  Starks goes waaaaaay down.
109.Malcom Floyd
110.Titus Young: I like the thought of him being the #2 WR in a pass-heavy offense.
111.Jon Baldwin
112.Sidney Rice
113.Randall Cobb
114.Jacquizz Rodgers
115.Ronnie Hillman
116.Jay Cutler
117.Josh Freeman
118.Andrew Luck
119.Big Ben
120.Carson Palmer





121.Jermaine Gresham: I should only rank 12 TEs, but you never know if someone will draft two.
122.Tony Gonzalez: I'm moving him down to this tier as well. 
123.Nate Washington
124.Justin Blackmon
125.Kenny Britt
126.Brandon LaFell: I realize I'd draft him over either 49ers WR.
127.Vincent Brown: Not sure if enough targets to go around in SD, but maybe he overtakes Floyd?
128.Michael Crabtree
129.Mario Manningham
130.Michael Floyd
131.Jonathan Dwyer: If Redman kept out week one, Dwyer could shine and get some of the workload.
132.DeAngelo Williams
133.Jonathan Stewart
134.Mike Goodson 
135.Shane Vereen
136.Felix Jones
137.Isaiah Pead
138.Alex Green
139.Kendall Hunter
140.Delone Carter
141.Bernard Scott
142.Dion Lewis
143.Bernard Pierce
144.Javon Ringer
145.Bears DEF
146.Jets DEF
147.Eagles DEF
148.49ers DEF
149.Steelers DEF
150.Ravens DEF
151.Bills DEF
152.Seahawks DEF
153.Patriots DEF
154.Packers DEF
155.Texans DEF
156.Lions DEF
157.Gostkowski (bye:9)
158.Akers (bye:9)
159.Prater (bye:7)
160.Bailey (bye:5)
161.Janikowski (bye:5)
162.Henery (bye:7)
163.Bryant (bye:7)

165.Gould (bye:6)
166.Rackers (bye:10)
167.Bironas (bye:11)
168.Hanson (bye:5)
