A spectacular running back like Jamaal Charles was at my third overall selection. Did I take him? (Courtesy of Arrowheadaddict.com)

The NFL Mocks crew (Including myself) had a fantasy football draft on Tuesday night. This fantasy football draft took place at NFL.com and let me tell you the draft ran very smoothly, no glitches or nothing. This league is a 12 team league that included one starting quarterback, two starting running backs, two starting wide receivers, one starting tight end, one starting wide receiver/running back, one starting running back/wide receiver/ tight end, one starting defense and one starting kicker. The bench can hold up to six players.

Usually fantasy football players get hyped about having a top three pick, but not me because I was never in this situation before. In past fantasy football drafts I was always selecting toward the end of the draft. Selecting toward the end of fantasy football drafts in past years made me really strategize a perfect way to build a team when pick at the end. So, being in the top three selection this year really took me out of my comfort zone as a fantasy football player. I was excited though because I knew regardless of who I would pick I would really be getting a top flight player. I don’t want to spoil the pick right here, so with out further ado here is my third overall pick along with all my other 15 picks as well.

The first preseason games have been played, and I must say, it was nice to have some football to watch on television. The season is fast approaching. Things will change with depth charts, and players will get hurt. For those of you that like to roll the dice and draft early. I’m going to keep updating my rankings throughout preseason.

2011 Fantasy Football: Updated Top 10 RB Rankings - NFL Mocks - NFL Mocks - Covering the 2012 NFL draft, Mock Draft Database, Scouting Reports, and Fantasy Football

There can be only one RB that sits atop my list....and it's AP... all day long. (Picture Source: blogs.twincities.com)

I would like to apologize to my fellow fantasy football people, I have been MIA (miss in action) lately. My life has been a little crazy, and now, I’m also writing blogs for a sister site here at FANSIDED. No need to worry though, because Mr. Freakin’ Fantasy is back baby. You can now laugh if you want too. Anyways, looks like the end of the lockout should be about a week or so away, and for the greater good of the NFL I hope they get it done sooner then that. The longer the owners and players wait, they risk the chance of missing preseasons games, losing money, and fans.

This doesn’t keep me from my hours upon hours of research for fantasy football. Along with the countless mock drafts I have already done. There has been plenty of new information brought to my attention that has changed my RB rankings.

So, here are my revised RB rankings.

LeSean "Bird Man" McCoy lead the NFL for RB's with 78 receptions last year. Can he do it again? (Picture source: gcobb.com)

Who here likes a ton of points?? I do, I do! Well, that’s exactly what get when you play in a Points Per Reception league (PPR). This type of league is very different than your standard Fantasy Football League. Adding the element of a point per catch changes everything! If you read my top 10 RB rankings for FFB standard leagues you’ll see that these rankings will be a little different, but some of the big names won’t change  much.

Ok, lets get started.

1. Adrian Peterson. How can I put AP number 1 in a PPR league! Easy!! AP is consistent, consistent, and when he’s done being consistent he’s consistent. Get the point?? Hey, AP had 36 receptions last year and that is nothing to laugh at. He could of had 42 rec, but he droped six. Not to mention the 1, 298 rush yards 13 total td’s and 341 yards receiving. That was a down year for him.  Also, I hear Christian Ponder is leading some player only work outs for the Vikes. I see a ton of check downs to AP this year. Look for AP’s reception total to go up. Most likely between 45-60 range for this year with a rookie QB at the head of the snake.
