Gates Won't Be Doing this on Sunday...he'll be sitting on the sidelines (picture source mkrob.com)

Fantasy Football Start and sit.

First let’s start with some big names who are going to be out for Sunday.

Antonio Gates is Not expected to play. (Don’t start any other SD tight end). This is not going to matter much for the Chargers who should beat the Chiefs pretty easily with our without Gates. But it could effect the spread (between 14-17 points) and your fantasy football team.

Peyton Hillis will likely not play. He has step throat according to profootballtalk.com. The Dolphins aren’t that good, but their front seven isn’t terrible. It could be a rough game for the Browns. You could start Montario Hardesty, I’d go in a different direction if possible.

Mario Manningham is out. This moves Victor Cruz to the #2 WR, Brandon Stokley is the #3 (Don’t start either)

Arian Foster is not going to play. Ben Tate will get the Lion share of carries (start and expect decent numbers)

Steve Jackson is NOT expected to play. Cadillac Williams is his backup. (Don’t Start)

2011 Fantasy Football: Players That Will Be Overvalued Come Draft Day.

With Gates still having foot problems, is he really worth a 3rd round draft pick? (Picture source: sportydesktops.com)

I just did a blog about undervalued players. So, I thought it was only fair I write one about overvalued players as well. With your draft just around the corner you can never have enough information. One tip I can give with the utmost convenience is you can never be to prepared come draft day. With that said, my suggestion to all you fantasy players is….. read, read, and then read some more, and mock draft until you feel ready for any situation that happens while drafting. (We all have had that one player in the cue ready to draft, and the player before you picks him. You need to be ready for that, and expect that to happen a few times in every draft)

EARLY TOP 10 FANTASY FOOTBALL TE RANKINGS

Jermichael "Green Thunder" Finley will make your Fantasy team BOOM this year! (Picture from design-explosion.com)

Every year now, it seems like more and more TE’s emerge as usable for your Fantasy Team. In years back I can remember if you did not get one of the top three TE’s available you were putting yourself behind the eight-ball. That is just not the case anymore, as there are numerous TE’s that can be found later in a Fantasy draft. I personally will not draft a TE before the fifth round. There is always too much talent still left on the draft board at that point. I would rather stack my bench with a RB or WR then reach for a TE. Further more, I really, really feel STRONGLY this year about waiting until the later rounds.

Most of the top TE’s were injured last year, so trying to figure out which TE will blow-up is not an easy task, but one I enjoy doing….

Now, for my Early top 10 TE…..

1. Antonio Gates. I know he had that foot problem the whole year, but in just 10 games played Gates put up 782 yards and 10 tds. He might have that foot injury again ….even with that I will not move him from the number 1 spot. A td a game is a strong statement. Also, with Rivers throwing him the ball you can not go wrong. Gates is a huge Redzone target that Rivers loves!!

EXPECT: 1,000 yards and 10 plus tds….from a healthy Gates!

2. Dallas Clark. Ok, this gets a little tricky with Clark because be was injured for most of last year. His numbers in the few games he played were 347 yards with 3 tds. Instead, lets look at the numbers the year before for some reassurance in Clark’s stock. 1,106 yards and 10 tds. I think we can expect something lower than that for Clark this year. Again, not sure how he will respond from the injury, but how can you not love that Clark has Peyton Manning tossing him the ball? Plus, Clark has always gotten lots of tds.

EXPECT: 900 yards with 8 tds.

Daniel's Top 20 NFL Players

nflmocks — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 04:26:53 +0000

Pete Prisco off of Sportsline.com recently listed his Top 50 NFL players, something he does anually during the offseason. I think it is a great idea, so I figured I’d make a list of my own. My list only has 20 players but I will add more if you guys want to see it, but I wasn’t sure how much interest this would draw. Without further ado, here’s the list:
