Fantasy Football Keeper League Keepers: Wide Receiver and Tight Ends

Brandon Marshall: If you are in a PPR league I would keepMarshall otherwise I would let him go. He gets yardage but does not score enough TD’s. Marshall is a lock for at least 80 receptions every season.

Wes Welker: You would need a very solid roster to not keep Welker. In a PPR league he is a near lock. In normal formats I would tread carefully since this was a career year and not the norm for Welker.

NFL Draft Remix: Re Mock of the 2008 NFL Draft

How Good Would Matt Ryan Look in a Dolphins Uniform Now? (Picture source playerpress.com)

The conventional wisdom is that it takes three years for players to hit their stride in the N.F.L. So I began to wonder if teams could have a second chance after watching these players in the league for three years, what would they do now? The problem with this exercise is semantics. If I’m redrafting, do I go back to 2008, which would cause a ripple effect for each subsequent year, or do I pretend that these players are just put back into the drafting pool and teams get to draft based what’s no the roster now. I’m going with the latter, try to ignore the butterfly effect that happens (for instance the Rams draft Chris Long, but now he’s back in the pool DE becomes a need, but we’ll pretend that in those three years they were able to plan for Long’s exit). Even though it’s an utterly useless exercise, it should be fun to take a look at what teams did in the 2008 draft and what they could consider doing now.

Miami Dolphins-Jake Long, T, Michigan

Leading up to the 2008 N.F.L. draft the big question was Jake Long or Matt Ryan? Jake Long or Matt Ryan? The Dolphins decided to go with the talented offensive linemen (even though there was a prevailing wisdom that he wasn’t worthy of the first overall pick) and Long has rewarded them with three very good years where he’s started 48 games and played continually at a pro bowl level. Do the Dolphins regret the decision? That’s possible because they are still searching for a franchise quarterback. Are the Dolphins unhappy with Jake Long? No way.

Remix pick

Matt Ryan, QB

As tough as it would be to throw a cornerstone LT back into the mix, the Dolphins would take the franchise QB. They were worried that Matt Ryan might not be a franchise quarterback, but the pre-draft Peyton Manning similarities that were swirling around Matt Ryan seem fairly apt right now. Ryan has shown tremendous leadership and production. He’s coming off a 28 Touchdown, 9 INT season. A M.V.P. caliber season in some years. Matt Ryan would be the easy choice today.

Atlanta Falcons Roddy White’s Top Five WR Today: is He Right?

White's So Good He Probably Could Catch The Ball From That Position: Picture source: blogs.ajc.com

Roddy White’s List

#5 DeSean Jackson, WR, Philadephia Eagles

#s Last year: 47 catches for 1056 yards, 22.5 yards per catch, and 6 touchdowns

The thing that jumps out at you immediately is the very high yards per catch. Still despite having one of the most recognized quarterbacks in the game, Jackson had only 6 touchdowns. The things you don’t like about Jackson are that he’s not really going to go across the middle, and he doesn’t block well. He doesn’t run all the routes great either. But boy is he explosive.

#4 Reggie Wayne, WR, Indianapolis Colts

#s Last year: 111 catches for 1,355 yards, 12.2 yards per catch and 6 touchdowns.

The only one on White’s list with over a 100 catches. Wayne quietly puts up big numbers every year though he seems to be overshadowed by his own quarterback play. The thing people will always wonder about Wayne is how good would he be if Wayne didn’t play with Peyton Manning.

Who is the Rookie of the Year?

I spend so much time talking about which guys should be draft in 2009 that I often forget to talk about the guys that were drafted in 2008. Matt Ryan looks like the favorite for rookie of the year so far.
