Just a tremendous running back with no opportunities. Finished strong after the NEWTON passing binge. He is ONE JStew injury away from finishing top 8.

Guess you could say that about either DeAngelo or Stewart if one goes down for an extended time. So would trading a 4th/5th + 6th/7th for the possibility of that be worth it? Its a close call. I hate giving up the extra roster spot in the hopes it will happen.

Great list...I like all those guys.
I'd add Jacquizz Rodgers as well.
Call me crazy but over the years I've also made it habit to consistently take the handcuffs for backs either coming off a huge year or who have had 300+ carries for more than a year. So with that said I'd highly recommend taking late round flyers this year on Ringer, Dion Lewis, and Bernard Pierce. History says one of those 3 will get called into service this year.

I think these are great picks except for the RBs. In place of Brown and Wells, I would put Ballard and Williams

Those guys aren't even starters and haven't been that impressive. Beanie had 1000+ and 10 TDs last year. Donald Brown has looked good.

I am big on vereen but neither had much production in the running game. If its ppr i dont see why you would take ridley first. What if the pats turned vereen into their darren sproles.Oh yea, Stevan Ridley is the sleeper. I drafted him as my RB3 way back in June. Get him on your teams.

Just curious as to your reasoning of picking Ridley over Vereen? I keep going back and forth on which guy is "the guy" and I cant figure it out for the life of me.

DeAngelo Williams. Guy is so overlooked. Still has the skill, just doesn't get the touches anymore.

Ridley has played in real NFL games and showed a burst and some big runs with limited opportunities. Vereen looks small, indecisive, and can't break tackles. I can't believe people think it's even close. Ridley will get the Ben Jarvis carries and touchdowns. Vereen I don't even think should play. They've got Woodhead for 3rd downs.

The Vikings were MUCH more impressive in the game this week vs. the Bills.
Jerome Simpson is flying WAY under the radar and could be a legit #1 WR for the Vikings with 1100+yds/7-12TD's.
I do agree (as a Vikings homer, so take with a grain of salt) that Kyle Rudolph could have a suprisingly good season as well.
I don't think the Vikings will be as bad as others think, and I'm used to them sucking.

He's not a flashy name and he's currently ranked 10th among TE's, but it's interesting to know that Pettigrew had the SECOND MOST TARGETS for a TE last year (Graham was #1 - Gronk was #3).
Pettigrew finished 6th overall among TEs in my league. He only had 5 TDs, but TDs are a fluky thing anyway and I'd expect that to increase some. He's now entering his 4th year (all with DET and Stafford) and his receptions have increased every season so far.
The main knock on him seems to be he only got short yardage passes last year, thus the lack of yards and TDs. But damn talk about consistent play... he caught 4 or more passes in 14 of 17 games last year. The three games that he didn't - he got 1, 2, and 3 receptions.

Be careful with Ridley. Very good runner, but he does put the ball down. That is a no no in coach Bellyaches system.Ridley has played in real NFL games and showed a burst and some big runs with limited opportunities. Vereen looks small, indecisive, and can't break tackles. I can't believe people think it's even close. Ridley will get the Ben Jarvis carries and touchdowns. Vereen I don't even think should play.

i agree with a lot here, especially titus young... nate burleson is on the way out, and young is too athletic to ignore...
add amendola to the list... he and bradford seem to have that chemistry going again.
another guy i like is tony moeaki... if the guy can stay healthy he is a freak... that and KC's offense should be much improved if cassell can step up....
