I watched the game and he really did look like a different RB...had a 100 total yards and a couple of catches in only one half of play... In PPR leagues he really could be a steal this year... Thomas got the goaline carries, but Bush really stood out last night I would target him as early as the 7th round in PPR leagues as it appears he will be splitting time... But i could see him having a beTter season than J.Best who is being targeted much higher

Fitz is my guy this year.. I definitely think he is going to have a huge year.... in PPR leagues you have to consider him in the top 3 with his track record.. so i don't believe at all that you are reaching... the best argument against Fitz is last year can be considered a "Floor" for him at this point in his career with abysmal QB play.. he has to do better this year, especially with Breaston/Boldin out of town... Heap in to keep drives alive, and an upgrade at QB... Fitz will be targeted more than any WR this year.. not to mention last year... REDZONE TARGETS he was #1 at 24 Inside 10 Yd Line Targets he was also #1 with 14.... those two stats right there are why I would chose him over the other guys...he is their entire offense, and is one of the few guys on this team who can beat double coverage with ease

Another interesting point that probably not a lot of people realize.. I just got a magazine that shows Redzone targets from last year Top 10 Redzone targets 24 Larry Fitzgerald 24 Danny Amendola (Great Value Pick, and now in a Josh McDaniels offense (possible Welker like numbers this year) 23 Lance Moore (Great Value Pick, adds yet another reason to look for him, shows why Drew Brees pushed for a new contract.. trust) 23 Wes Welker (Shows who Brady is going to trust when it is time to score) 22 Roddy White 22 Marques Colston 22 Terrell Owens 19 Pierre Garcon 19 Dwayne Bowe 19 Mike Williams (TB) Top 10 Inside 10 Yardline targets 14 Larry Fitzgerald 13 Wes Welker (Again only makes him bigger in PPR leagues) 13 Danny Amendola (Again reinforces his sleeper potential in a Josh McDaniels offense where his young QB trusts him) 13 Miles Austin (Reinforces beliefs of Romo's trust in him) 11 Hakeem Nicks (Shows how huge he can be if he can play a whole season) 10 Terrell Owens 09 Santana Moss 09 Dwayne Bowe 09 Pierre Garcon 08 Mike Williams 08 Marques Colston 08 Hines Ward 07 Lance Moore (notable, watch him this year, could be a great pick if Colstons knee injuries keep effecting him) Biggest thing I realized is how Important Wes Welker/Danny Amendola/Lance Moore are to their offenses and they are definitely worth targeting at where their Current ADP is... could get some great value picks this year

Top 10 TE Redzone Targets 15 Jason Witten 20 Tony Gonzalez 15 Greg Olsen 15 Mercedes Lewis 15 Dustin Keller 14 Kevin Boss 13 Tony Scheffler 13 Zach Miller 12 Kellen Winslow 12 Vernon Davis Top 10 Inside 10 Yd Line 10 Tony Gonzalez 09 Dustin Keller 09 Kevin Boss 08 Greg Olsen 08 Mercedes Lewis 07 Brent Celek 07 Brandon Pettigrew 07 Jason Witten 06 Kellen Winslon 06 Vernon Davis 06 Jermaine Gresham Top 10 RB Redzone Targets 12 Lesean McCoy 12 Arian Foster 11 Ladainian Tomlinson 11 Peyton Hillis 10 Jahvid Best 10 Ahmad Bradshaw 09 Frank Gore 09 Darren McFadden 08 Ray Rice 08 Stephen Jackson Top 10 RB Inside 10 Yd Line 06 Lesean McCoy 05 Ray Rice 04 Arian Foster 04 Ladainian Tomlinson 04 Ahmad Bradshaw 03 Brandon Jackson 03 Frank Gore 03 Matt Forte 03 Peyton Hillis

i'll post those tomorrow when i get a few free minutes

I can barely keep up with two teams... why would anyone want to have to pay attention to much more than that?? Plus you start having more and more of your own players facing you in other leagues.. and it becomes harder to root for them... i guess i just don't get it... thoughts??

Kolb is better than any of the abysmal QB's Arizona had last year though.. and considering that is safe to say that is Larry Fitzgerald's floor.... with an upgrade at QB and no one else to throw to he has to be a much better option this year... in PRR leagues he could be argued for a #1 WR

yea Same here

Anyone who saw the game... does this defense look promising this year?? I think they could easily be in the top 5 overall as far as the NFL goes, and probably the same for fantasy football... how did they look??

I really can't figure this one out... Calvin with a healthy Stafford could be explosive or it could be Stafford breaks his leg. Fitzgerald with Kolb could bring him back to a better year, but than again Kurt Warner was a Hall of Famer, but Fitz has always performed no matter who was under center. Roddy White seems to be the surest thing because he has the same QB and same offense, but his numbers could be affected more by Julio Jones than we think. What does everyone else think about this?

I do because he is a freak of nature and is the like the Lebron James of football... He deserves some kind of nickname...

McCoy is not going to get near as many rushing yards, but he will het more receptions and rec yds in a pass heavy offense Charles will get more TD's and more rushing yards McCoy's numbers will be very similar to last years... Charles could have a breakout year... But the biggest thing that concerns me about him is Todd "moron" Haley who could very easily screw up Charles value by doing just plain dumb things with him on offense, or not even using his star RB(see playoff game vs Ravens last year in the 2nd half after Haley got pissed at Weiss and took over offensive play calling... Charles got a mesely 1 carry) Overall they are about equal... I'd be happy with either one as my #1 RB , I figure they both will end up around #5 fantasy RB at the end of the season

Well said Mr.Crawfish... Well said

This was the easiest list I could pull of FA's or likely players to move or get traded. (Stole it from this dude) I can add/remove anyone, who should or should not be one here, just let me know as soon you here something. Will do my best to update once the craziness starts. If you see a signing or trade, link me to a column with years and money and I will try to update Also found this link that might be a lot easier for us to watch where everyone goes... http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2011/07/21/2011-nfl-free-agent-tracker/ QUARTERBACKS Carson Palmer, Bengals Vince Young, EAGLES FINAL Kevin Kolb, Cardinals TRADED Matt Hasselbeck, Titans TRADED Donovan McNabb, Vikings TRADED Bruce Gradkowski, Bengals FINAL Matt Moore, Dolphins SIGNED Matt Leinart, Texans FINAL Tarvaris Jackson, Seahawks FINAL Alex Smith, 49ers RESIGNED Derek Anderson, Panthers SIGNED Dennis Dixon, Steelers WANTS OUT Kyle Orton, Broncos Marc Bulger, Rex Grossman, Redskins Trent Edwards, Jaguars Seneca Wallace, Browns Troy Smith, 49ers Chad Pennington, Dolphins Running Back DeAngelo Williams, Panthers RESIGNED Ahmad Bradshaw, Giants RESIGNED Reggie Bush, Dolphins TRADED Mike Tolbert, Chargers RESIGNED Brandon Jackson, Browns FINAL Tim Hightower, Redskins SIGNED Marion Barber III, Bears SIGNED Willis Mcgahee , Broncos SIGNED Darren Sproles, Saints SIGNED Cedric Benson, Bengals RESIGNED Ronnie Brown, Eagles SIGNED Joseph Addai, Colts RESIGNED Jerious Norwood, Rams SIGNED Benjarvus Green-Ellis, Patriots Michael Bush, Raiders Ricky Williams, FA Jerome Harrison, Eagles Clinton Portis, Redskins Jason Snelling, Falcons Brian Westbrook, 49ers Tiki Barber, ??

updated braylon edwards is a 49er

but he could potentially have a huge season... if he were to stay healthy like stated above he could be amazing in PPR leagues... but never the less make sure you get 4 starter worthy WR's if you do decide to gamble on him.. and pay close attention to the waiver wire all season long.. or even possibly look into drafting Pierre Garcon as a back up plan as well...i don't think you should just ignore him completely because the majority "don't want to deal with the headache", having a mindset like that is what will cost you a championship... but just be smart if you do decide to gamble on his "head ACHES"...

couldn't have said it better myself hah... if he couldn't take over an aging LT last year while he was in his prime... that means he will never be near as good as LT when LT was in his prime... just a hunch!

cause they have Shockey too... who also used to be with "Chud" the offensive coordinator back in College... most likely it will be Olsen.. but Shockey is only 30yrs old

I have Fitz estimated at about 95 rec, 1100 yards, 9tds as his floor.... 110 rec, 1400 yards, and 12 tds as his ceiling... safer bet I have Nicks estimated at about 80 rec, 1000 yards, 8 tds as his floor... 100 rec, 1300 yards, and 14tds as his ceiling... potential to explode this year.. really just comes down to personal preference, either one is a great choice.. and actually looking at the numbers of what I think Fitz is the better option for me because I am predicting that his floor is higher, and his ceiling is equal because of more yards and more receptions....so i would prefer Fitzgerald from my predictions and a lot of that has to do with the fact that I still think Fitz is the #1 Wideout in the NFL

Tolbert, Jacoby Ford, the "leading" TE on the Panthers after pre-season because of the potential to be "Gates like"

Zach Miller to SEA, Jerious Norwood to STL

Ronnie Brown to Eagles updated

...... I had Austin last year and I was just as pumped as you are about him... but one thing that changed last year was he was the #1 WR, in 2009 teams did not really game plan for him... in 2010.. he started off hot.. but he also really had a few bad games with Romo too.. he was very inconsistent and was more of a "Hit" or "Miss" type player... 1 Sep 12 @ WAS L 7-13 10rec 146yds 14.6 30 1td 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 Sep 19 CHI L 20-27 10rec 142yds 14.2 21 0td 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 Sep 26 @ HOU W 27-13 2rec 20yds 10.0 17 0td 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 bye 5 Oct 10 TEN L 27-34 9rec 166yds 18.4 69 1td 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 Oct 17 @ MIN L 21-242rec 12yds 6.0 8 0td 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 Oct 25 NYG L 35-41 3rec 38yds 12.7 17 0td 0 He had 10 games last year where he had 3 catches or less... and 3 of those games were with Romo, and when i look for my WR #1 I want a guy who gets atleast 5 catches 90% of his games..... I think he will definitely do better than last year... but I think overall Dez Bryant has more talent, and is more of a "freak of nature" type player.. which will be evident by the "End of this year".. Romo may look to Austin early on.. but I think Bryant becomes a huge factor as the season goes on

I would be... I think he can definitely end up top 15, maybe even top 10 with his talent... Just depends on his work ethic, Romo definitely will look for him often and that is the kind of #2 WR you want... One with huge upside... I think Miles Austin is more of a possession WR, and Dez could easily end up with more yards and definitely more TD's than him
