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.

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!

Disagree..Brandon at 3..Larry at 4..Dez?? Hmm, not so sure about him being that high. Andre should be higher.

This list is from 3-10 could easily be argued and re-ranked..

Oh what? Fantasy..I guess its ok in that case. 8-)

Again...it's for fantasy football.

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.
