Yes fantasy football, where Matt Stafford>>>>>>>>>>>>Ben Roethlisberger exists.

2013 Outlook: Big Ben's toughness is unquestioned, but it keeps getting the Steelers in trouble. For the second straight year, Roethlisberger missed crucial time to injury during a playoff push, victimized by a shaky O-line and his tendency to hold the ball. Before his Week 10 shoulder and rib woes, however, he was on pace for 4,406 passing yards, 32 TDs, eight INTs and a 67 percent completion rate. Coordinator Todd Haley's quick-release, inside-the-numbers attack suited Big Ben fine. The concern for '13 is continued upheaval in Roethlisberger's blocking, and the removal of playmakers Mike Wallace (free agency) and Heath Miller (torn ACL) from Pittsburgh's attack. Add the likelihood he'll miss games because of injury, and Roethlisberger looks more like a fantasy backup than a starter.

No, what were they?

Rodgers, Brees, than who?

No JD thinks Boston Blows, like Rock and CJ think NY Blows
But that was a wonderful speech, you toe the company line with the best of them

whatever you need to talk yourself into there being a difference between the two

2013 Outlook: In '12, Stafford set an NFL record for pass attempts in a single season, the second straight year he's led the league in attempts. So at least you know you're getting volume. But the statistical difference in his past two campaigns is massive: Stafford went from 333 fantasy points in '11 to 263 in '12. It's true he had his boneheaded moments, but we believe the biggest problem was a decimation of the Lions' receiving corps, and some unlikely-to-repeat bad luck. (For instance, Calvin Johnson was tackled on an opponent's 1 a whopping six times!) We're convinced Stafford's passing TDs will bounce back -- even if he's unlikely to rush for four scores again. He's a fantasy starter who could present great draft-day value.

Jaws had Brees at #6

rogers

brees

peyton

Eli is 13th between romo and ben

 

[Mike Oxlodge]

RG3 should be in the top 5.

RG3 should be in the top 5.

2013 Outlook: A healthy RG III would be a lock for the top five QBs, but since Griffin tore his right ACL on January 6th, he's not certain to start Week 1. Before the injury, RG III was perhaps the fastest QB in league history. He scored seven rushing TDs, he eclipsed 60 rushing yards in seven of his 15 regular-season starts, and his 815 total rush yards were the fifth-most ever by a QB in a single season. As a passer, he was acceptable: Accurate in the short game, mostly untested throwing deeper stuff. As a runner, he was a fantasy superstar. Adrian Peterson's fast ACL recovery last year gives us hope. But will RG III's breakneck style be curtailed by injury concerns?

i truly believe amendola and brady will be an absolute fantasy gem together this year

 

[Down38st8]

Well....that didn't last very long Dirt....

Tampon fully inserted this morning?


Relax....it's a joke....

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Newton, Luck and Kapernick, maybe RG3 ahead of Brady IMO

Not a Brady knock but the cupboard is bare

Newton is my crush this year, think he goes nuts

Eli has an insane arsenal, and a terrible defense, a real formula for a huge bounceback

Stafford sucks, but I could see him be a mid round steal in fantasy

 

[mike hunt]

Anyone else remember when the Royals were the best team in baseball back in March, me neither.

 

[redseat]

Dumbass NY'ers didnt even know who their "superstar" was when they were being interviewed by him?

Nice city

I'll give them somewhat of a break... They weren't as bad as Heat "fans"

But that was a wonderful speech, you toe the company line with the best of them

to be fair, I also think Boston blows

 

[RedSoxWorrld]

Bradys numbers will suffer with no hernandez and maybe no gronk for awhile

amendola is not welker

thats his three top targets from last year

I do

I can also tell you who the players are, just by looking at the face.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Amendola is easily gonna be the darling of drafts this season

Someone will reach in like Round 2 for him

Either he will destroy someone's season, or be Welker redux. Health is the issue to me

i posted this earlier but the numbers, i know youd love:

2013 Outlook: Brady just keeps breaking the rules. Top fantasy QBs aren't supposed to rank 19th among NFL signal callers in average yards at the catch. They aren't supposed to rank 23rd in completion percentage on throws of more than 20 yards. And they aren't supposed to achieve excellence without an above-average outside receiver. But in '12, Brady kept doing all those things. He might have the fastest release in the NFL, and his production inside the numbers (17 TDs, 5 INTs and 3,017 yards in '12) is almost unmatched. Sure, he'll be 36 in August. But this rule-breaker shows no signs of slowing down; if anyone can overcome the loss of as many offensive weapons as the Patriots could be missing in Week 1, it's him.

 

[Down38st8]

RG3 should be in the top 5.

Fantasy rankings? With the depth of quality fantasy QB's? I don't think so...you can go less risky with as much upside with probably 7-10 guys...RG3 would come in right behind them...that knee has me worried that he's not going to post the rushing totals...

Jaws rankings? close...for just this coming season not taking future outlook into consideration?

In some order I have to have these guys ahead of him...Brees, Rodgers, Brady, Manning and then it's down to him, Ryan and Luck on the next tier...

Baffling to see some rankings that have wilson ahead of him...
