2013 Fantasy Football Rankings: Rookies

2 Replies

Because you’re obviously an avid fantasy footballer, you may know that FootballGuys has gone live for the 2013 season (with a great new layout, by the way).  Therefore, I had to spend last weekend refining my rankings for rookies, QBs, RB, WRs, TEs, Ks, and DSTs.  Throughout the week, I’ll be releasing each position, along with a look at my overall Top 100.  

Before we get to the full depth of the player pool, let’s take a look at this year’s rookie class now that we know the teams for which they’ll be playing.  I’ll include a blurb from their rookie scouting report on CBSSports.com’s NFL Draft Tracker.

Rankings, rankings, rankings!

Five Super Bowl Storylines Not Being Discussed Enough

As a member of the “media” (and I use that term as loosely as it can possibly be used), I have to be aware of off-the-field stories as much as on-the-field stories.  It’s why I had a “storylines” section in each of my round-by-round playoff previews.  I feel that as a “media” member, it’s my responsibility to share with you everything about the big game – not just the same old tired items that the mainstream is delivering.  So without further ado, here is a countdown of the five stories that you need to know – in order of just how deep you’ll have to dig to gain any information on them:

AFC Championship – Didn’t We Do This Last Year?

In case you missed it last week (AFC – NFC),I had a pretty nice go of it in my game predictions. It was painful to pick Baltimore to win, but I felt that they would. It wasn’t at all compelling that Atlanta beat Seattle, but they did so by two points – the exact difference I predicted. The games may have played out differently than I predicted (Baltimore getting dominated on Special Teams but dominating the other phases was the opposite of what I said would happen), but all in all, we were 3-1 against the point spread including a Baltimore outright win and the only loss being Houston by one point. So let’s go ahead and keep the same format for this week.

You saw the NFC earlier today. Here’s the AFC.

This particular return caused me great emotional pain

Baltimore at Denver
DVOA Ranks (Offense / Defense / Special Teams)
Baltimore – 14 / 18 / 1
Denver – 3 / 2 / 16

Lopsided when either QB is on the field, but the most underrated part of football leans in Baltimore’s favor.
