I told you there would be a Monday rankings update, didn't I? I thought I might be up against a midnight "deadline" in a hotel room outside of Cleveland, but as it turns out my flight is delayed. My original departure time was 6:47pm, which was changed to 7:40pm, and the latest update is now 8:50pm (end of article revision: now 9:05pm). So these rankings are brought to you from Gate B2 at Richmond International Airport sponsored by United and Caribou Coffee*.
*I am in no way sponsored by United or Caribou Coffee. However, in a way I am kind of sponsored by Progressive, so here's a shout out to them. (Awesome.)
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.Matt Forte: Moving up Forte, SJax, and Charles. Good RBs at a premium over WRs this year. | |
| 13.Steven Jackson | |
| 14.Jamaal Charles | |
| 15.Maurice Jones-Drew: If he ends holdout this week, will move back up above Forte (probably). | |
| 16.Larry Fitzgerald | |
| 17.Brandon Marshall: I really like what I'm seeing with him and Cutler in preseason. | |
| 18.Greg Jennings | |
| 19.Green-Ellis | |
| 20.Ahmad Bradshaw | |
| 21.DeMarco Murray | |
| 22.Matthew Stafford | |
| 23.Cam Newton | |
| 24.Adrian Peterson | |
| 25.Ryan Mathews | |
| 26.Roddie White | |
| 27.Julio Jones: I just feel better about taking him over Andre Johnson. Much more upside. | |
| 28.Andre Johnson | |
| 29.Wes Welker | |
| 30.Brandon Lloyd | |
| 31.Percy Harvin | |
| 32.AJ Green | |
| 33.Hakeem Nicks | |
| 34.Trent Richardson | |
| 35.Antonio Gates | |
| 36.Victor Cruz | |
| 37.Michael Turner | |
| 38.Frank Gore | |
| 39.Marshawn Lynch | |
| 40.Reggie Bush | |
| 41.Doug Martin: The more I see and hear about Martin, the more he moves up my board. | |
| 42.Dez Bryant | |
| 43.Marques Colston | |
| 44.Michael Vick: Getting banged up in preseason. Still think reward worth the risk around here. | |
| 45.Darren Sproles | |
| 46.Fred Jackson | |
| 47.Willis McGahee | |
| 48.Demaryius Thomas: I think I was a little too high on Thomas, and a lot depends on Peyton. | |
| 49.Antonio Brown | |
| 50.Mike Wallace: The holdout is over, so moving him back up into the top 50. | |
| 51.Steve Smith | |
| 52.Jordy Nelson | |
| 53.Dwayne Bowe | |
| 54.Jeremy Maclin: If I'm dropping Vick, I feel the need to drop Maclin slightly. | |
| 55.Philip Rivers | |
| 56.Donald Brown: Seems to have the hold on the feature back slot in Indy. | |
| 57.Stevan Ridley | |
| 58.Beanie Wells | |
| 59.Torrey Smith | |
| 60.Eric Decker | |
| 61.Vincent Jackson | |
| 62.Stevie Johnson | |
| 63.Miles Austin | |
| 64.Aaron Hernandez: I like the contract extension. I also like that Brady seems to like him too... | |
| 65.Vernon Davis | |
| 66.Jermichael Finley | |
| 67.Peyton Hillis | |
| 68.Isaac Redman: Mendenhall off the PUP list, and he's dealing with injuries of his own. 69.Shonn Greene: Watched him get a lot of touches against Carolina in Week 3 of preseason. | |
| 70.Eli Manning | |
| 71.Tony Romo: A lot of receiver issues have me moving Romo down further. | |
| 72.Peyton Manning | |
| 73.DeShaun Jackson | |
| 74.Pierre Garcon | |
| 75.Mark Ingram | |
| 76.CJ Spiller: I got too high on Spiller too early. Still lots of upside, but wait a round longer for him. | |
| 77.Reggie Wayne | |
| 78.Darrius Heyward-Bey | |
| 79.Jared Cook 80.Fred Davis | |
| 81.Jason Witten | |
| 82.Michael Bush | |
| 83.Ben Tate: I had a lot of "question mark" RBs ahead of Tate. Much like Bush, he's a safer pick here. | |
| 84.Ryan Williams | |
| 85.Toby Gerhart | |
| 86.David Wilson: He's looked good in preseason, and Bradshaw a little banged up already. | |
| 87.Cedric Benson: OK. Let's get crazy with Benson now. Great old-timer potential here. | |
| 88.Kevin Smith | |
| 89.Montario Hardesty | |
| 90.Rashad Jennings: Even if MJD comes back soon, Jennings has proven his worth in preseason. | |
| 91.RGIII | |
| 92.Matt Ryan | |
| 93.Anquan Boldin | |
| 94.Lance Moore | |
| 95.Robert Meachem | |
| 96.Greg Little | |
| 97.Mike Williams | |
| 98.Denarius Moore | |
| 99.Josh Freeman: Moving my Fantasy Redeem Team QB into the top-100! | |
| 100.Mikel Leshoure: Ultimately, I think he could be the Detroit RB to own. Just have to wait 2 games.. | |
| 101.Ronnie Brown | |
| 102.Lagarette Blount | |
| 103.DeAngelo Williams: Could get early action as feature back if Stewart out with ankle injury. | |
| 104.Brandon Pettigrew 105.Jacob Tamme | |
| 106.Coby Fleener 107.Malcom Floyd | |
| 108.Titus Young | |
| 109.Jon Baldwin | |
| 110.Sidney Rice | |
| 111.Randall Cobb | |
| 112.Jacquizz Rodgers | |
| 113.Daniel Thomas: Dropping him and Turbin down to the level of these other backups. | |
| 114.Robert Turbin | |
| 115.Ronnie Hillman | |
| 116.Jonathan Stewart: I don't want to get too low on him, even though he is a Carolina RB. | |
| 117.Jay Cutler | |
| 118.Andrew Luck | |
| 119.Big Ben | |
| 120.Carson Palmer | |
| 121.Greg Olsen: I thought I'd throw another tight end into the mix, and he could have a big year. | |
| 122.Jermaine Gresham | |
| 123.Tony Gonzalez | |
| 124.Justin Blackmon: It's time to start considering the keeper factor with these WRs. | |
| 125.Kenny Britt: Same with Britt, if he ever gets back on track. Elite talent this late. | |
| 126.Brandon LaFell | |
| 127.Nate Washington | |
| 128.Michael Crabtree | |
| 129.Shane Vereen: Moving up slightly just because you never know if he could be #1 RB. | |
| 130.Alex Green: Another one I'm moving up with potential to be starter in no time. | |
| 131.Evan Royster: Let's go ahead and put a couple Redskins RBs in here at this point. | |
| 132.Roy Helu:: Dropping way down due to Achilles injuries and unknown with Shanny. | |
| 133.Mike Goodson | |
| 134.Felix Jones | |
| 135.Isaiah Pead | |
| 136.Kendall Hunter | |
| 137.Michael Floyd: Moving down a little with a couple other WR fliers. | |
| 138.Kendall Wright: Yes, another Tennessee WR. He's looked good so far though. | |
| 139.Danny Amendola: A safe pick this late. Should be Bradford's #1 receiver. | |
| 140.Rashard Mendenhall: Replacing Dwyer on my list. I'd stash Rashard if I could afford it this late. | |
| 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 | |

| 152.Seahawks DEF | |
| 153.Patriots DEF | |
| 154.Packers DEF | |

| 164.Crosby (bye:10) | |
| 165.Gould (bye:6) | |
| 166.Rackers (bye:10) 167.Bironas (bye:11) 168.Hanson (bye:5) ...and once again, a few more names I'm still keeping an eye on (Santonio Holmes has been permanently removed from my fantasy rankings until he proves he belongs). Look for this list to change drastically in about two weeks: David Nelson Jerome Simpson Doug Baldwin Brian Quick Davone Bess Brian Hartline Devery Henderson Alshon Jeffery Delone Carter Vick Ballard Curtis Brinkley Philip Tanner Pierre Thomas James Starks | |
