Post Week 2 Sunday Thoughts...

Below are some random thoughts following week 2 (sans MNF game).  It's been an incredible aerial attack to kick off the 2011 NFL season, I can't imagine this pace will continue. 

Revised Fantasy Football Rookie Predictions

With the PAFFL auction less than a month out (and hopefully the NFL lock out coming to an end shortly), I wanted to post a revised prediction on rookie picks for 2011.  

2011 Fantasy Football Rookie Rankings

I love the NFL draft because it creates some clarity for team depth charts and most importantly brings new talent into the league.  This year, thanks to the lockout, the draft takes on more importance than any other over the past 24 years I've been following the draft, because there's been no free agency or trades, thus resulting in NFL teams applying need based selections more than I can remember in past drafts.  

Maurice Jones-Drew calls "Arian Foster his sleeper for 2010"

You have to love when one of the top fantasy football producers is a fantasy footballer himself, making 2010 sleeper calls.  Maurice Jones-Drew called the Houston Texans Arian Foster his 2010 sleeper.  

Luke McCown for an option call

That business school education is in handy as we're starting to delve into derivates in the PAFFL.  

Randy Moss & David Garrard for LeSean McCoy

Chaulk this deal up to one that only happens in the dynasty league, deep format fantasy world.  But even in that world where the PAFFL lives, this is a pretty one sided one. 

David Garrard & Devin Hester for Matt Hasselbeck & Chad Ochocinco: Fantasy Football Trade

The Beavercats were active at the trade deadline, starting off the first of two major deals by hooking up with Team Kitty. 

Josh Scobee for a buck

File this one under the barely interesting category but its little deals like this that can build a contender into a champion and allow you to compile a strong roster.  With ten days left before our final rosters are to be submitted, there should be a lot more action over that period of time.

Top Rookies for '09

It's a quick look as the NFL Draft's first day starts to wind down on who the top fantasy rookies will be, specifically for the PAFFL (where long-term success is just as important as short term).  I'll update this as the 3rd round is completed but at this point here are the top guys based on talent & situation. 

Top PAFFL Contracts

Another former tradition that I've gotten away from is highlighting some of the great contracts in the PAFFL.  This historically was to highlight the new deals but I think its important to showcase the best deals regardless of what year they were put on as long as they carry the same characteristic which is high production per dollar cost value.  Thus the stars at more than $55 (at QB & RB or $35+ at WR) won't be on this list unless they're way out pacing LT's '06 or Brady's '07 production, which nobody is coming close to this year.
