Tight End Rankings
#1) Jimmy Graham - One of two Tight Ends that I'd draft inside the first 4 Rounds. Saints are gonna be lighting up the scoreboard and Graham is gonna put up similar, if not better stats than last year.
Projections: 125/1100/10
#2) Rob Gronkoski - Gronk only played 11 games last year and still almost out produced every single Tight End. I would rank Gronk ahead of Graham if I knew he'd play every game once he returns but chances are he'll miss some extra time with injuries. Just be sure to draft another TE to cover the time Gronk will miss to start the season.
Projections: 85/900/12
#3) Vernon Davis - I think Davis is gonna have a great year this season. He's been lining up at WR and looks like he might be the one replacing Crabtree. Kaepernick had good chemistry with Davis in the playoffs and I think they will be hooking up a lot this year
Projections: 90/1000/9
#4) Jason Witten - Only tight End to get over 1000 Yards last season. Catching only 3 TD's last year hurt his fantasy stats so an increase in TD's could put Witten in the top 3 this year.
Projections: 120/1100/6
#5) Tony Gonzalez - I don't think the Falcons are gonna need to use Gonzalez as much this year so I see a dip in yards, but the TD's will be there and could get more than last season.
Projections: 85/750/8
#6) Greg Olsen - Going for the more safe pick here. Newton targeted Olsen over 100 times last year and I don't see that changing at all.
Projections: 75/850/5
#7) Jared Cook - I'm a real believer that Bradford will finally have that break out season and that he's gonna involve the entire offense. Cook is a really talented Tight End who's never had a good QB throwing the ball to him.
Projections: 75/750/6
#8) Brandon Myers - Actually had a good year considering he played for the Raiders. Now with the Giants, Myers should still have similar numbers. Giants just don't produce top fantasy stats to their TE's so there Isn't much excitement here.
Projections: 70/650/6
#9) Jermaine Gresham - I've been waiting for Dalton to finally start throwing the ball to Gresham. I think he has great ability but Isn't getting the ball thrown to him enough. If the Bengals start getting him the ball more, I could easily see him reach the top 5.
Projections: 75/750/5
#10) Owen Daniels - Houston is gonna run, run and run like always. Daniel's peak Isn't high and shouldn't see much more than what he put up last year.
Projections: 76/700/6
#11) Kyle Rudolph - The TD's are intriguing but his QB is still Ponder. So if you draft him, cross your fingers that he's still scoring TD's this year.
Projections: 60/600/6
#12) Fred Davis - I'm really liking RG3 this year and he was targeting Davis a lot at the end. If Davis has a healthy season, I'd like my chances with him.
Projections: 65/700/5
#13) Heath Miller - This is a situation your gonna have to monitor. Miller's been running and making cuts on his reconstructed knee. But there hasn't been a time table for his return. If your draft is late be sure to check in on Miller's condition.
Projections: 70/700/6
#14) Antonio Gates - With Rivers slowing down and the injury history that Gates has, I have a hard time putting him any higher than this. Draft with caution.
Projections: 60/600/5
#15) Jermichael Finley - Did pretty much nothing last year. I think Green Bay has too many options for Rodgers to throw at, therefore Finley will probably be stuck behind the rest again.
Projections: 60/600/4
#16 Dustin Keller - Jets offense was terrible last year and it affected Kellers stats. I'm really liking Miami's offense this year and I think Tannehill will make Keller relevant in fantasy again.
Projections: 60/700/4
#17) Jake Ballard - Nothing fancy about Ballard, but he'll get targets especially in the start while Gronk is nursing an injury. Once Gronk returns, I'd keep and eye to see if he's still getting targets.
Projections: 55/600/5
#18) Brandon Pettigrew - Only thing Pettigrew has got going for him is the fact that he plays on an offense that usually puts up big numbers. But the Lion's got a lot of options and Pettigrew probably won't be a big impact.
Projections: 60/500/4
#19) Martellus Bennett - Cutler doesn't use his Tight Ends too well so unless Cutler changes his ways I can't see Bennett making any fantasy impact.
Projections: 50/500/4
#20) Tony Moeaki - Been putting up the same boring stats each year so don't expect much more. Smith does like to target his TE's but I don't think the targets will give him that much of a boost.
Projections: 60/500/4
For the rest of the Tight Ends out there, I wouldn't draft any and just keep an eye on them for key match ups for streaming purpose. I'll have posts each week on TE's to stream so don't forget to check in.
Projections: 125/1100/10
#2) Rob Gronkoski - Gronk only played 11 games last year and still almost out produced every single Tight End. I would rank Gronk ahead of Graham if I knew he'd play every game once he returns but chances are he'll miss some extra time with injuries. Just be sure to draft another TE to cover the time Gronk will miss to start the season.
Projections: 85/900/12

2013 Quarterback Rankings
#1) Drew Brees - I've got Brees ranked at number one for many reasons. First off, The Saints will want to erase all that has happened in 2012 and will have that drive to do well with Sean Payton back at the helm. As terrible as The Saints were, Brees still threw for over 5000 Yards for the second straight year. Rodgers has never thrown for over 5000 Yards and don't see him passing Brees in Fantasy again this year.
Projections: 5150/43/16/75/1
#2) Aaron Rodgers - Rodgers is consistently at the top each year and I don't see that changing much. Yes the Packers lost Greg Jennings but he still has Nelson, Cobb and Jones to throw at.
Projections: 4600/43/12/200/2
#3) Matt Ryan - Last year Ryan was the QB I wanted on all my teams. I think I failed to get him in each one as I like to wait on grabbing a QB later than most. I think Ryan did well but slowed down a bit at the end, therefore he's being ranked anywhere's from 5-10 on most QB lists. With the addition to Steven Jackson in the backfield, I can see Ryan adding a bit more to his fantasy totals.
Projections: 4850/36/14/100/0
#4) Tom Brady - Who will Brady throw to this year? I don't think that really matters. Amendola was a solid pick up by the Pats and he'll fill in well for Welker. With the loss of Hernandez and Gronk being hurt to start the year, I think Vareen is gonna step in and do well. So bottom line, there's gonna be guys out there for Brady to throw at and he will find them.
Projections: 4750/36/12/30/2
#5) Robert Griffin III - I'm only targeting 3 QB's this year and Griffin is one of them. If he falls past the 4th Round I could see myself grabbing him in the 5th which is traditionally early for me with my QB's. The knee injury worries me a bit but I think this means he'll throw the ball more this season and still get a decent amount of Rushing Yards and TD's.
Projections: 3600/29/12/875/5
#6) Russell Wilson - Wilson is the second QB I'm targeting to get past the 4th round. He had a solid first year and looked really composed for a Rookie. With the addition of Harvin and the strong receiving core they already had, I would be more than happy to add Wilson to my roster.
Projections: 3750/32/13/400/3
#7) Peyton Manning - Manning could easily finish in the top 3 this year. Only thing that bother's me is the possible re-occurring neck problem, cause he Isn't getting any younger and I don't know how well his body can keep up. Thomas and Decker had huge years. Then you put Welker into the mix, so if Manning last 16 games he'll probably surpass his spot on this list.
Projections: 4500/36/14/25/0
#8) Colin Kaepernick - I think Kaepernick is getting drafted way too early and there's no way I'll be owning him on any team. I'm sure he'll run like crazy but the only target he could hit last year was Crabtree who he won't have to throw to this year.
Projections: 3350/27/16/400/5
#9) Andrew Luck - The last QB I'm aiming to get. His fantasy stats were a bit inflated due to his 5 rushing TD's. But I do see him throwing really well again. Great bargain in the 6/7th Round.
Projections: 4500/32/17/300/2
#10) Cam Newton - One thing that's for sure is that Newton will most likely run 700+ yards and score 5-10 Td's just on his own. Just that alone has pretty much put him in the top 10. Panthers didn't add much to their offense and with lack luster Backs, other teams will be ready to stop anything thrown in the air.
Projections: 3800/20/12/700/7
#11) Matthew Stafford - I've seen Stafford drafted as early as the 3rd Round and as late as the 7th. I think we'll see more of an in between of what he has done his first 2 seasons. He does throw recklessly, maybe a reason we saw him run 4 TD's in the end zone instead of going for Megatron. If you can get him in the mid rounds he could be a major steal.
Projections: 4800/30/17/125/1
#12) Tony Romo - These next 2 QB's are my back up plan in case I miss out on the earlier 3 that I'm targeting. You pretty much know what your gonna get with Romo and Dez Bryant is looking great in camp so Romo should keep your team in it from week to week if you decide to go with him as your regular starter.
Projections: 4800/32/14/50/1
#13) Eli Manning - Eli's the other QB that I'm falling back on. He's good enough to help you win each week and keep you in there and has talented receivers around him to throw at.
Projections: 4100/30/15/25/1
#14) Ryan Tannehill - I love Tannehill this year. He looked pretty decent last year for a Rookie and at camp this year he's looking composed and comfortable. The chemistry with Hartline is still there and they are looking good together so far at camp. Dolphins also added the talented Mike Wallace and Lamar Miller should keep defence honest. I'm looking to add Tannehill as my QB2 in most leagues but could be a viable QB1 if you didn't grab anyone early.
Projections: 3700/26/12/200/1
#15) Ben Roethlisberger - I'm passing up on Big Ben this year. He's had a hard time playing a full season and with the loss of Wallace I'm not sure he'll be able to put up solid passing numbers. They got a talented young back in Bell who they will probably let loose and run all game long so Ben's numbers might be low.
Projections: 3600/25/14/100/0
#16) Sam Bradford - This is his make it or break it season. He's got tons of talent around him and if he doesn't perform this year he'll probably be ranked closer to the bottom. Seems like every year I wait for this guy to break out and just never does. Hopefully this is the year he finally makes it in the top 10.
Projections: 3900/26/13/75/1
#17) Josh Freeman - Freeman had by far his best season in his career. Kind of hard not to perform when you got Jackson and Williams to throw to. Doug Martin is a horse and will allow the Bucs talented receivers to get many open looks. Freeman should put up similar numbers to last year.
Projections: 4000/28/19/100/2
#18) Joe Flacco - Flacco is consistent, but not consistently great. He has a big game every 3 weeks and then has that one lack luster week every other week. A good QB2 option but that's about it.
Projections: 3800/24/12/50/1
#19) Andy Dalton - Probably only ranked this high cause he has Green and Gresham to throw to. Only worth adding as a QB2.
Projections: 3600/24/16/175/2
#20) Philip Rivers - I'm a Chargers fan and it's hard to have Rivers down this far but his arm has been getting weaker as each season goes by. Key to his season will be how many games Alexander will play. 16 games from Alexander and a full season from Vincent Brown might boost his stats a bit more.
Projections: 3700/28/14/25/0
#21) Jay Cutler - Cutlers arm is so wild that the Bears are gonna be forced to just run the ball all year as usual. Cutler will probably barely hit the 20 TD mark with most of those going to Marshall.
Projections: 3100/22/18/200/0
#22) Matt Schaub - Not much to say besides you know what your gonna get here. Schaub puts up the same boring numbers up each year and Isn't gonna suddenly break out.
Projections: 3900/25/12/25/0
#23) Michael Vick - I had Vick on a few teams last year and ruined any chance I had at being relevant in any fantasy league. I have a big hate on for him this year and he probably won't be the starter in Philly long, even if he wins the starting job at camp.
Projections: 2400/12/12/350/1
#24) Jake Locker - Locker should start the season the starter but with Fitzpatrick waiting to step in and the probability that he gets injured, we probably won't see a full season out of him.
Projections: 3000/16/14/250/1
#25) Carson Palmer - Here's a stat that most people haven't noticed. Palmer threw for over 4000 Yards last season. As terrible as the raiders were, Palmer managed to scrounge up 4000 yards. The Cards aren't much better but he'll have more talent to throw to so he could get near 4000 again.
Projections: 3700/24/15/50/0
#26) Alex Smith - Smith Isn't elite but he's got decent guys to throw to and he's been told to throw more this season so he could be a decent QB2.
Projections: 3200/22/12/150/1
#27) Kevin Kolb - Kolb Isn't exciting but I do like Stevie Johnson and Rookie Robert Woods.
Projections: 3500/25/16/200/1
#28) Brandon Weeden - Only thing Weeden has got going for himself is no competition to take over his job and Josh Gordon to throw to.
Projections: 3300/22/18/150/0
#29) Matt Flynn - I think Flynn should be the starter out of the gate but the bad news for him is that he plays for the Raiders.
Projections: 3200/20/14/150/0
#30) Mark Sanchez - Sanchez will of course start the year as the Starter but once the Jets start struggling and Geno Smith is ready, you'll see the switch quicker than we did last year. The question Isn't will Sanchez be replace but when.
Projections: 3000/16/13/100/1
Projections: 5150/43/16/75/1
#2) Aaron Rodgers - Rodgers is consistently at the top each year and I don't see that changing much. Yes the Packers lost Greg Jennings but he still has Nelson, Cobb and Jones to throw at.
Projections: 4600/43/12/200/2

Projections: 3200/20/14/150/0
#30) Mark Sanchez - Sanchez will of course start the year as the Starter but once the Jets start struggling and Geno Smith is ready, you'll see the switch quicker than we did last year. The question Isn't will Sanchez be replace but when.

Pitchers To Stream (Week 9)
Monday, May 27th
Jake Odorizzi (TB) Vs MIA Owned in 11% of Yahoo Leagues.
Rizzi's stat line doesn't look great but you gotta remember he faced the Jays who have been hitting the ball well the past few weeks. He's facing the Marlins and already has that first start out of the way, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a 10+ strikeout game in 6 innings from him with a win.
Tuesday, May 28th
Jorge De La Rosa (COL) Vs HOU Owned in 27% of Yahoo Leagues.
De La Rosa hasn't been terrible on the year and has 6 Win under his belt. Playing the Astros, I'd use him for the chance of an easy Win.
Wednesday, May 29th
Marco Estrada (MIL) Vs MIN Owned in 52% of Yahoo Leagues.
I didn't realize he was still owned in this many leagues but if he's out there for this start I would grab him. The last 2 weeks he's gone 2-0 in 19 innings with 15 K's and a 2.75 ERA.
David Phelps (NYY) Vs NYM Owned in 19% of Yahoo Leagues.
Mets have been losing a lot lately and I think Phelps has a good match up to collect the Win.
Friday, May 31st
Jerome Williams (LAA) Vs HOU Owned in 25% of Yahoo Leagues.
I think I've streamed Jerome in his last 4-5 starts. I should just own him already right? He's just had the easiest match ups each week and has another one against them struggling Astros.
Bartolo Colon (OAK) Vs CHW Owned in 21% of Yahoo Leagues.
Colon just keeps doing it. Doesn't over power anyone anymore but always seems to come out with the win and nice counting stats.
Shaun Marcum (MIL) Vs MIA Owned in 21% of Yahoo Leagues.
Marcum can't seem to buy a win but might get one this week against the Marlins. Marlins are gonna lose games so grab as many guys out there who pitch against them. Marcum has gotten 22 K's in the last 19 Innings with a 3.66 ERA.
