PrintHave you, like EVERYONE ELSE, been wasting your firm's precious dollars by spending time over the past few weeks doing "research" for your fantasy football draft? If the answer is yes, today you've come to the right place.
In yet another effort by our Board of Gimps to give something back to our readers, today THE GLOBAL PHENOMENON is shifting gears and dedicating this space to help you win your fantasy football league this season. Whether it be a league with big money on the line, a league with your buddies for bragging rights, or a lame office league set up so you have something to talk about while you wait to get your morning caffeine fix, we're here today to answer ALL of your questions about this season's crop of players.
Fantasy Football OPEN FORUM after The Jump:
Feel free to use the comments section to ask us anything fantasy football related. Should you be taking Chris Johnson with the #1 pick? Is Larry Fitzgerald even a top 10 receiver with the Matt Leinart - Derek Anderson Show behind center? Who is a value running back in the later rounds? In the words of The Rock, JUST BRING IT.
And remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question.
Just stupid people.
The floor is yours.

because he needs to learn blitz pickups, pass blocking, etc...
all the usual stuff it takes rookie RBs a couple years to pick up
Hooked up with Angelina. Someone had to!

a week ago it would be MJD for sure
the knee thing is a little troubling, but Id probably still go MJD, b/c Rice is going to have TDs vultured

Rice
I would avoid MJD like the plague. Knee issues and playing for a team that will likely be throwing the ball in the 4th quarter playing catch up.

Where do you have Calvin Johnson ranked?
I started out thinking he would be like WR7 or so, but beginning to think he will be like WR3 or 4….

agreed
If Calvin can stay on the field he’s right up there behind Andre Johnson and Randy Moss, and may have more upside than Reggie Wayne and Miles Austin. I LOVE #1WRs on teams that aren’t that good and have to throw the ball all over the field in the 4th quarter. Last year CJ was killed by the lack of other options on Detroit, but with Stafford now having Burleson on the other side and Jahvid Best a threat to take it to the house on every carry, I suspect CJ will see a lot of single coverage and DOMINATE.
Casually.
I think Moss falls off this year.
I like a johnson, wayne, c johnson, miles austin, greg jennings
I'm not actually Jeff Green's Dad
i think jennings will have a big bounceback year
his strength is connecting on deep ball and now that GB has a better o-line he and rodgers should go bonkers.
Casually.
Also, keep in mind:
the Packers put Al Harris on the PUP list, they’re missing their starting FS, and starting an undrafted rookie at ROLB. GB is going to be playing in a lot of shootouts.
SRS BSNS
those arw 2 horrible options
if michael bush doesn’t play in week 1 i would go mcfadden since he’ll get at least 15 touches
evans – i’d wait to see what kind iof rapport he has with edwards as the #1 wr in buffalo before i’d trust him with a start
Casually.
I don't like either of those guys
Who else do you have?

5th pick
Assuming top 4 rbs go first, do I go with a QB? And if so, who?
I'm not actually Jeff Green's Dad
depends on your league
how many people? is it PPR league? are QB td’s 4 or 6?
Good talk.

I go with Rodgers for the upside over Brees
Rodgers likely to run for a few TDs and GB tends to throw the ball on what would normally be rushing downs in the red zone. Brees will probablyhave more of the 300+ yards and 5TDs games, but Rodgers will probably give you consistent points every week all season.
Can’t really go wrong with either of them.
Casually.
horrible choice
he’s coming of ACL surgery and will be limited the first few weeks of the season.
i like zach miller out in oakland since campbell has NO ONE to throw to out there and he relied on Cooley and Davis a lot while on the skins.
Casually.
+1
Zach Miller is completely being underrated. I would much rather have him then Tony Gonzalez or Kellen Winslow, who are both fall-off-the-cliff candidates.

Has anyone heard of this place? We just joined up. Check it out!
No drafts. Play who you want! When you want! The only catch? You can only play each player ONCE, and then they’re done for the season. Tons of cool strategies, and the prizes are pretty cool! We’re here to trash talk boys :)
http://www.suicidefantasyfootball.com
We’re in the $100 Grand Prize league, the $25 Helmet league, and the $10 Jersey League. Think you can beat a bunch of girls? I kinda doubt it!
We’re happy to trash talk to anyone. But please be nice boys. Don’t dish out more than you can take.
Sincerely,
