I think Victor Cruz is extremely overrated, and his own team agrees. They told him and his agent that flat out that Nix is the priority.FaithInCutler wrote:ESPN just posted their WR rankings after the draft.

I do think Fitz should be on there and the expense of any of the last three. Roddy White is a volume guy, V-Jax has the skill but not the consistent production, AJ has the numbers but most say his skills have seriously eroded.

In a PPR Cruz is a top ten WR. Fitz did well the first half of the season last year until his QB situation went to absolute crap. I think with Palmer, Fitz is top 10 again.
I think that's what it boils down to is if you play PPR.

I just realized this was in the Fantasy Sports board.
So for fantasy sports purposes..
If it's PPR I would remove V-Jax and insert Fitz. That's 100% on Josh Freeman. With Arians and Palmer in ARI now, they are going to throw the hell out of the ball.
If it's none PPR I would remove White and insert Fitz. I really think White's TD numbers could drop with T-Gonz back, JJ emerging, and a new commitment to the running game. (he only had 7 last year anyways)

Yep, For me when the Draft is over Fantasy football season begins! This year I at least have the Bulls AND Blackhawks in the playoffs though.. So, that should occupy some time.. Hopefully at least another month!DaDitka wrote:I just realized this was in the Fantasy Sports board.

This list is from 3-10 could easily be argued and re-ranked..
Oh what? Fantasy..I guess its ok in that case.

Again...it's for fantasy football.Hardhitter47 wrote:.Dez?? Hmm, not so sure about him being that high.
In standard PPR scoring with 5 pt bonus at 100 yards, over the last 7 weeks of the season Dez averaged 27.7 points per game. Calvin lead the league with 25 ppg.
I think De'z ranking is based on his extremely hot finish to last year.
