Fantasy Top 100
 

Hello to all,

Hello Redskins fans, I have been following this forum for awhile, and I have noticed you guys have posted a few articles for my football website.

Well, now that fantasy season is around the corner I want to present to you the "Bruno Boys Fantasy Football" Top 100 players. Take it for what it's worth, its only May, things will change but at this moment that is our writers Consensus Top 100.

Check it out at [URL="http://www.bbfantasyfootball.com"]www.bbfantasyfootball.com[/URL] and let me know what you guys thinks. You can either comment at the site or on the board.

The Skins Offense is going to be very good this year if Brunell can stay consistent and make the most of Portis, Moss, Lloyd, Randal-El and Cooley.

Thanks,

Bruno Boys Fantasy Football

Welcome BBFF! Link didn't work for me. I get all of my stats directly from Yahoo!, where I create my league. I'm not saying Yahoo! is the best, however.

Not a direct link to his site, but his information, I suppose. That's the only link I've found.

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

Guys,


I am not your average person just trying to name drop my site. I am trying to talk Fantasy Football and create this by going to a few teams message boards and creating a friendship.

I can talk anything fantasy related, NFL related, it doesn't matter. I just love talking football, and choose to have a website with Fantasy Football Information. The BBFF does just that and I look forward to enduring a a full season at the Warpath.

When writing my ad, I didn't just copy/paste, I took the time to type it word for word. For those who care, haha!!

Wit this being said, who do you guys like in the Top 10 of Fantasy.

Thanks,

I'm kind of surpised the readers voted Thomas Jones so high considering the Bears offensive production.

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

Where is Cooley on this list? Or did you count him as something other than a TE? I think this year in Saunders offense with legitimate downfield threats other than Moss, he could have the potential for a 80/1000/10 kind of year.

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

Speaking fantasy wise I like Larry Johnson and Clinton Portis. Also I think that S. Alexander is not going to have the same kind of year he did last year, esp. with having to replace Hutchinson(SP) on there o-line...

Plus with alexander on the cover of madden will make him a risky pick.Curse anyone?

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

Guys,

Some of the writers voted Cooley in the Top 100, but he didnt have a Consensus rating that placed him in the Top 100 board. We averaged out each writers Top 100 to get the Overall Average of Ranking for each player.

I to think Cooley can be a huge weapon in Saunders Offense. For years the Chiefs have executed the TE position to a tee, and Cooley is going to take advantage of the new OC. He very well could rank as a Top 5 TE in the NFL at the end, but for now there are others who average out better than him.

As for Thomas Jones, he is a strech at #22 overall. One of our writers had him as low as #29 (3rd round) another writer had him as high as #17 (2nd round).

Its all a matter of opinion and drafting style. Some experts like to stock up on RB's and some like to take the best player at that position.

Thanks for the comments!!

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

Barring injury (and it's always a major concern with him) I feel like Kurt Warner could have a very good year, especially in terms of fantasy production. Zona obviously has great receivers, and Edge is going to help take a ton of pressure off of Warner. I know their o-line sucks, but if they can just buy a few seconds the Cards could put up big numbers.

Also, this sounds kind of dumb after the way last year ended, but does anyone else think that #2 overall seems a bit high for Larry Johnson? KC lost their OC (thank God, HTTR), and their stud fullback. Granted, Johnson has proved he is a machine and definatly worth a top ten pick, but I would have reservations taking him with the second overall pick.

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

i think frank gore is probably way too high and isaac bruce shouldn't be excluded from a top 100 fantasy draft... randy moss could have a real bounce back year if brooks is the QB as well.

at the top its larry johnson, LT, shaun, peyton, portis.

your site is dead right now, but its cool you came back, most people just drop an ad and are gone.... and i appreciate that you didn't stealth it like a paid forum plant ("hey guys, i just found this cool new site, i dunno, what do you think???").

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

That Guy,

Thanks for the comments. The site is getting updated right now and will be down for awhile. Gore had loads of talent and if the 49ers use him as their premier back he will have nice value. Barlow isn't very good, and his carries should be cut in 2006. As for Bruce, he garnered Top 100 rankings by some of the writers, but not enough to get him on the Consensus. I know I had him in my Top 100.

I am not some spamming Ad machine, I like to talk football, advertise what I do as a hobby and hope to get some regular viewers to the site based on it. We get hundreds of visitors a day, even more when it's Fantasy time.

TMC,

No harm done. Just was stating my reasoning for why Cooley was left off the list. Hope you enjoy visiting the site and make it a habit during Fantasy Football season.

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

BBFF, are these rankings based off of a particular point system?

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

724 Skins,

Four of our writers did what they feel are there top 100 rankings as of May,2006. Then we took each draft position and divided it by 4 to come up with the Average rankings for each player based on the writers Top 100's.

For example, Larry Johnson was ranked 1,1,2,3 by the 4 writers for a total score of 7. 7 divided by 4 equals 1.75. So the Average ranking position for Larry Johnson was 1.75, which placed him in a tie with Shaun Alexander.

Hope this helps clarify the rankings for you.

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

Sort of. The way I see it, a player's ranking reflects the value he will bring to a team. If you participate in a league where scoring is heavily dependent on yards and not receptions then a receivers value drops considerably. Also, most QB's do very well in leagues that award 6 points for passing TD's instead of 4 points so their value becomes diluted. In fact, in those leagues I usaully draft a QB after the fifth round.

I was just curious if the rankings reflect a cetain scoring system. To me LT and Alexander are equal unless receptions are given extra points. Since LT gets more receptions his value goes up in my opinion. I, also, use the "3 three year rule", Instead of going by a players stats from last year I see what he averages over the past three and then add to my decision making other factors like scheduling, injuries, news & notes that might affect their playing time.

As you can see, I like to talk about fantasy football as well. Welcome!

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

tmc,dont get schneed going again by bringing up a idol:)

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

724 Skins,

The scoring system we use for all of our rankings is 4 pts for TD passes, 6 pts. for TD rushes and catches, 1 point per every 10 yards receiving and rushing. Also, 1 point per every 25 yards passing.

With LJ, LT and Alexander you can't go wrong with who you take at the top. All 3 players are going to be very close on overall points scored in 2006.

Glad you like to talk Fantasy Football, its a great conversation starter for sports fanatics like ourselves.

Their Oline does suck, but so does Indy's, and that turned out pretty well.

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

I think bush wont be as high as you have ranked him, plus santana is a bit underrated in fantasy production, even though he will have many other options surrounding him. By the way, you can put your link and your little message as your signature, so you dont have to retype it again and again.

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

and I am still not a believer in addai, everyone apparently is.

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

Are Big Ben's numbers really going to be high enough to not include Brunell on the list??? There is no way that Pitt is going to pass more than we are next year, they like to keep the pass attempts low, and not long completions. They like to run in the redzone as well. I bet my bottom dollar that Brunell's numbers, fantasywise, will be much superior to that of Big Ben's (injury pending).

No, I dont think that LJ at #2 overall is a bit high or over rated for that matter. I understand that he lost his OC and Fullback, but the guy is good and the most important IMO is that he will still be running behind that same o-line. To me the o-line is just as important when you start looking at RB's for fantasy football. I mean, Bush is a talented RB, but do you honestly think that he is gonna run for like 1500 yards and 10 tds behind that piss poor Saints o-line? I dont. Also look at a back like Willie Parker for the Steelers, IMO he would not be as good on a team that had an average o-line. And I really dont think that KC will totally revamp there O in one season... But that is what makes fantasy so fun everyone has an opinion and you watch the season to see how close you were...

I dont understand why you think that Indy's o-line sucks? They only gave up 17 sacks, and Edge did gain 1500 yards running behind them.

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

Redskins,


Indy's O-line was solid all year in 2005. 17 sacks, and we all know Manning isn't one of the most mobile QBs in the NFL. I like Joseph Addai and Dominic Rhodes to continue solid production with the running game. Will they be "edge" of course not, but they will both be solid backs in a split role. It looks like the Colts are going to open up the passing game more, and it sure has me thinking that this offense won't miss a beat.

[quote=Redskins8588]I dont understand why you think that Indy's o-line sucks? They only gave up 17 sacks, and Edge did gain 1500 yards running behind them.[/quote]Maybe because their QB is the best in this business and Edge aint bad himself.

I agree, KC's line is still solid and Johnson probably will have a great year once again. However, if I have the 2nd overall pick in our draft and Tomlinson is still on the board, even with Rivers as the new QB, I couldn't justify taking Larry Johnson over him. It's entirely possible that Johnson continues what he started last season and smashes every rushing record ever set and I look like an idiot, but I almost feel okay with taking that risk based on LT's stellar past.

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

I would take Johnson with the first overall pick if I had it. But since I'm in a keeper league, I'll just have to decide between Roethlisberger, Moss, Moss, and Dunn.

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

Hooskins,

First off, thanks for drawing interest in the site. We look forward you to visiting it often. Or hope you do!!!

As for Reggie Bush being ranked at #34 overall, it could be a strech but the big play potential is there. Bush will be on the field ALOT in the "Big Easy" as a RB, WR, and playmaker. He will get his chances, get his yardage and factor in as on of the Top 40 fantasy players as a rookie. College or NFL, he is one of those players you just "have to" take a gamble on.

As for the Big Ben vs. Brunell comparision, I am without hesitation taking Big Ben. Roethlisburger only got better in his 2nd year in the NFL, and he will continue to. Yes he lost Bettis and Randell El, but the Steelers have showed more indication of throwing the ball to Heath Miller in the Red Zone in 2006. Also Big Ben is young, reliable, and clutch, you can't go against that. If Brunell stays healthy he can post nice fantasy numbers, but he is getting older, and the body is showing signs of wear and tear. I just couldn't take a gamble on Brunell over a guy with the ceiling of Big Ben.

As for Santana Moss, whats not to like about the guy. He makes big plays and has the speed to catch the deep ball and makes the most out of nothing. Ranking him at #26 overall is on point in my opinion. Per our rankings he ranks as the #9 WR behind Smith, Johnson,Harrison, Owens, Fitzgerald, Moss, Holt and Boldin. I think that is a fair assumption.

Lastly, we will talk a little Colts football and Joseph Addai. With that high octane offense in Indy, Addai is going to get chances, plenty of them. Intially, word is he will split time with Dominic Rhodes, but one the Colts see Addai's explosiveness, field knowledge and knack for getting the extra yard he will be the go-to RB. Hell the Colts didn't draft him in the 1st round for no reason. Not only is Addai going to factor into a solid fantasy option in 2006, he is one of those young backs everyone will want their hands on in Keepers Leagues. And that is because the Colts move the football and MANY goalline chances await.

Hope this helps!!!

Thanks, i do agree with most of your assessment. I guess the main point I was making about Big Ben is that his offensive system is not one which yields high fantasy points, seeing that some games he only throws 15 times, maybe even less. Talentwise, I do think he is much better than Brunell, but I do feel the system that Brunell is in, esp this year with Saunders, will yield higher numbers than our buddy over in Pittsburg.

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

GTripp,

I might be able to help you out between your decisions on who to take in your keeper league. First, I need to ask a few questions.

Who have you currently kept?
What is your points system?
Last, how many QBs,RBs,WR,TEs, etc. do you start.

Hope to make that #1 pick worthwhile.

Re: Fantasy Top 100
 

Personally, I swap draft positions and take 6, 7 or 8 but if you twisted my arm and made me draft in the 1, 2 or 3 pot I would without hestation take LT. This is despite the fact that I drafted Larry Johnson last year in round 8 and won my league championship. I love Larry Johnson's potential but right now it still is, to me, just potential. LT's yearly stats are too impressive for me to ignore.

Hope to make that #1 pick worthwhile.[/quote]I am barring injury going to keep Willis McGahee, Ronnie Brown, and Cadillac Williams. Our point system is QB friendly, that is 6 pts for any TD, 10 rush or recieving yards to a point, and 25 pass yards to a point with a 2 pt deduction for a fumble lost or an INT. We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 1 K, 1 Team D, 2 WR, 1 TE, and one WR/TE flex.

I have the 4th overall pick in the draft. Mere speculation implies that the best players to make it through the keeper rounds will include both Santana and Randy Moss, Rudi Johnson, Chester Taylor, Roethlisberger, Reggie Bush, Warrick Dunn, Jamal Lewis, and Curtis Martin. I feel fairly confident in saying that Johnson and Bush will go one-two in the draft. The third guy will likely keep 2RBs and a WR, so he could easily go Roethlisberger with that pick.

Given all the above, I have a good idea with what I should do, but 2nd opinion surely can't hurt.

[quote=GTripp0012]Given all the above, I have a good idea with what I should do, but 2nd opinion surely can't hurt.[/quote]

moss would be a good pick up (either one). bush is probably the better long term guy, but since you already have 3 starting RBs and 2 are in their 2nd year...
