That said, Jennings would look awful good if Donald Driver's injury turns out to be serious...

I like Roethlisberger where you got him. I think you will be starting him by the middle of the year over Young. I don't like the Curry pick but I understand it. I would have grabbed Jennings over him but that is more of a personal choice I think.

He caught 60 percent of the targets thrown his way last year, whereas other "speedsters" like Plaxico Burress (52%), Torry Holt (52%) and Terrell Owens (55%) weren't nearly as efficient. I personally love guys without decent secondary receivers, as I value the extra targets over speculated additional coverage. I also do anticipate an improved ground game, and they did address the O-line through free agency. I think he's worth a third round pick. It's true Jacobs and Peterson haven't caught balls in the past, but I think both have the skills to move into the 30-45 catch range this season. It is a concern tho, that's for sure. Obviously, Reggie Bush moves way up in a PPR format - all the way to the No. 5/6 area, along with Westbrook of course. Funny you ask about MJD, as I was in this "experts" league yesterday and took him with the No. 9 overall pick in a PPR format. See, I actually back up my talk sometimes. Then, a guy I had no intention of drafting in any league this year fell to me with the No. 16th pick, Rudi Johnson. He obviously loses value in a PPR, but still, that's pretty late, even for me...Marshawn Lynch can be moved up a bit in PPR leagues as well. More power to you if you can nab Henry in the 2nd and MJD/Jacobs in the third. I have seen MJD and Jacobs slip, so it is possible. Keith – Evans is tougher than most give him credit for.

Beasley was good back in the day on the 9ers, but I'm not sure how much he has left in the tank. The Washington ground game should be productive, but Betts and Portis may cut into each other's fantasy value a little more than most owners will like, especially those spending an early pick on CP.

I know he's got the talent, but I don't think he'll sneak up on people this season. Without a 2nd receiver, and unless they get the run game going, it just seems like it'd be very easy to keep a safety on him. Jacobs and Peterson are pretty safe picks just because of the goal line work. They're going to be less valuable in PPR leagues though, right? Any guys you'd really move up in PPR leagues? Would you be crazy enough to take MoJo 1st round in that format? I've got my two drafts this weekend; got the #5 pick in my non-PPR league, so I figure I'll get either LJ, Addai or Gore...I can live with that. I might just go 3 RB's to start (since we get a flex), and go more WR heavy in the reception league. I feel like I need a mock draft or something to get ready!

Kendall has been a very good O-Lineman for a while and Beasley was a Pro Bowl Fullback, what do u think of this move, and it's fantasy impact? Although personally Im not a big Clinton Portis fantasy fan, he and Betts may have just been given an early XMas present.
