This is Monday August 27th, 2012 edition of “All Things Fantasy”. Jeff Erickson, Senior Editor of Rotowire.com and host of Rotowire Fantasy Sports Today on Sirus/Xm satellite radio (XM 87/Sirius 210), joins me to talk some fantasy baseball and Fantasy Football. Also, I give some draft strategies, interesting Handcuffs, and more. My notes from the show are below.
Players that seem to be on all my teams
Donald Brown- usually got him as my 3rd or 4th RB
Torrey Smith- Is going to have a huge year. Top 15 potential going in the 7th to 8th rounds
Matt Ryan- Never overpaid for him ( don’t consider round 6 or 7 as overpaying, or 9 dollars in an auction)
Nate Washington- another guy going later in drafts who was great last year that could repeat or even exceed last years number
Greg Olsen/ Fred Davis- Great TE value late in drafts
Players im staying away from
Miles Austin- Always seems injured
MJD- Would rather have an “injury risk” player than a player that might not even play.
Sproles- At best is repeating last years number and don’t think he even does that
Wes Welker- No way he is going to produce numbers like he did last year. Still a solid WR but there are better guys than him at where he is being drafted
Ryan Mathews- Already missing 2 games, who says he won’t miss more?
Draft Strategy- QB early is bad, As there is quality QBs in the later rounds
TE early is even worse.
RBs thin out after round3
Some Sleepers players
Justin Blackmon- Is going to great in PPR leagues
Dexter McCluster- Probably will have RB/WR eligibility and could get close to 5 catches a game which would be great for PPR leagues
Kevin Ogeltree- Remember what Laurent Robinson did last year? Ogeltree could do it this year if/when Miles Austin gets hurt
Owen Daniels- Still a solid TE. Not a big gamble here
Kyle Rudolph- Everyone is loving this guy, just pay to much for him
Jerome Simpson- He will have a solid season, can get him later b/c he is suspended for the first couple of games
Intersting Handcuffs
Nick Foles- Get him if you own Mike Vick
Lavon Brazil- Austin Collies replacement
Brandon Jackson- Could win the job from Montario Hardesty
Rueben Randle- If Hakeem Nicks gets hurt.
Taiwon Jones- If Darren Mcfadden goes down
