Sam Bradford, STL Bye: 5
Sam Bradford is hoping to have a standout sophomore season after his stellar debut in his rookie year. In 2010, Bradford completed 60 percent of his passes for 3,512 yards, 18 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He also added 63 rushing yards and a touchdown with two fumbles. Bradford nearly led the Rams to the playoffs, and he did it while losing two of his best targets in Donnie Avery and Mark Clayton to injuries for much of the season. This year, Bradford could be poised for a big season thanks to Josh McDaniels taking over as offensive coordinator. McDaniels has done well in previous stops with quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Matt Cassel and Kyle Orton. The Rams still need help at WR, but Bradford should be drafted as a No. 2 QB with upside. He's safe as a bye-week or injury replacement, but he has enough upside to be a potential starter in deep leagues if he can improve on his rookie year as expected with the help of McDaniels. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 354-556 4,102 22 17 2010 354-590 3,512 18 15 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 27 58 0 27 63 1 Fantasy Points 262 226 hoping to have more success than he did in 2010, when he had 2,387 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 12 starts. Campbell has the potential to be a quality No. 2 Fantasy quarterback in deep leagues, but he needs his receiving corps to improve this season. That need took a hit when Zach Miller left for Seattle in early August, leaving Campbell with the likes of Jacoby Ford and Louis Murphy, both of whom need to take significant strides this year. Our advice with Campbell, who is in a contract year, is to leave him on the waiver wire in standard formats and add him during the year if he starts out playing well. You can also plan to use Campbell during the season as a one-week replacement when he has a favorable matchup. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 267-458 3,006 15 10 2010 194-329 2,387 13 8 2009 327-507 3,618 20 15 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 43 213 1 47 222 1 47 236 1 Fantasy Points 212 183 257

Tom Brady, NE
Bye: 7
Tom Brady heads into 2011 looking to build off one of the best seasons of his career. His foot should be fine following offseason surgery and we consider Brady a No. 1 Fantasy option worth a pick in Round 2 (or very early Round 3) in all leagues. Looking back at his 2010 campaign, there's no reason to expect Brady to slow down as long as he's 100 percent. Last year, Brady lost Randy Moss after Week 4 and went on to win the NFL's Most Valuable Player award. He finished the season with 3,900 passing yards, 36 touchdowns and a careerlow four interceptions, while adding 30 rushing yards and a touchdown. This was his best Fantasy season since his career year in 2007. Brady has a wide array of talent at receiver even with the departure of Moss. Wes Welker, Deion Branch, Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski are Brady's top targets heading into '11. You can make an argument that Brady is the No. 1 Fantasy quarterback, but he's easily a top 5 option among the group of Aaron Rodgers, Michael Vick, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 375-562 4,173 33 14 2010 324-492 3,900 36 4 2009 371-565 4,398 28 13 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 22 31 1 31 30 1 29 44 1 Fantasy Points 344 371 325
Matt Cassel is coming off a career-best season in 2010, and Fantasy owners want to know if he can build off those stats in 2011. Last year, Cassel took advantage of playing in Charlie Weis' offense and utilized all this weapons, especially wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, who also had a career year. The good thing for Cassel in 2011 is Bowe is back, he has a strong running game with Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones and a young tight end in Tony Moeaki. The bad news is Weis is gone, leaving to run the offense at the University of Florida, and there's really no quality No. 2 receiver opposite Bowe even with the addition of rookie Jonathan Baldwin. Todd Haley should still be able to get enough out of Cassel to make him successful, but keep in mind prior to Weis joining the Chiefs, Cassel was mediocre in 2009. We consider Cassel a No. 2 Fantasy quarterback in all leagues. He's good enough to be a bye-week replacement or start in an injury situation, but he's not someone you want to trust in your lineup on a weekly basis. Consider drafting him with a late-round pick. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 282-471 3,235 22 15 2010 262-450 3,116 27 7 2009 272-494 2,924 16 16 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 46 179 1 33 125 0 50 196 0 Fantasy Points 251 282 195

Drew Brees, NO
Bye: 11
A knee sprain took the starch out of some of Drew Brees' starts last season, but he ultimately posted very good totals. More of the same is expected in 2011, and Brees should be up to it while playing in a contract year. Brees strikes us as consistently motivated to play well, so the fact that a big pay day is coming shouldn't change things much. But playing in a high-powered offense with lots of weapons should give him the ammunition for his sixth straight season with at least 4,300 passing yards and 26 touchdowns. The fact that he's averaging an eyelash under 300 yards per game over his last three seasons is also comforting to Fantasy owners. Playing 11 games indoors in 2011 won't hurt either, and even though the Saints drafted RB Mark Ingram with an acquired first-round pick, Brees should still air it out quite often. And because there wouldn't be a week where you'd bench Brees, the need to draft a No. 2 QB isn't as strong, opening up a roster spot on Draft Day for an extra running back or wide receiver (perhaps a Saint?). Consider Brees a slam dunk No. 1 Fantasy QB well worth a pick between 15th and 30th overall. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 374-552 4,595 32 19 2010 448-658 4,620 33 22 2009 363-514 4,388 34 11 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 21 15 0 18 -3 0 22 33 2 Fantasy Points 335 334 360
Kerry Collins has opted to retire after 16 seasons instead of play a 17th with the Titans or anyone else. The announcement first surfaced in early July.

The final image Fantasy owners have of Jay Cutler from 2010 is him sitting on the bench wearing a parka and a knee brace in the NFC title game. Don't judge him on that image or his inability to finish the playoff game, though. The bigger concern is that Cutler's numbers actually fell while in Mike Martz's offense last season, a shocker considering the track record of quarterbacks in the highpowered scheme. Playing in one less game, Cutler threw four fewer touchdowns and 392 fewer yards than he did in 2010, though he did improve his yards per attempt by a full yard and threw 10 fewer interceptions. But the glaring issues, especially from the Bears' perspective, are the 52 times he was sacked and 50 rushes he made. Both signs are proof that their offensive line is not where it needs to be, and with Cutler's knee hurt in their playoff loss to Green Bay, that needs to be rectified. The Bears addressed that in the draft and added Roy Williams to their receiving corps. It only helps that Cutler will stay in Martz's offense for a second straight season. We think Cutler's good enough to start in deeper formats (14-plus teams) and fantastic as a No. 2 quarterback. Expect him to last until the middle-to-late rounds on Draft Day. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 295-488 3,667 24 19 2010 261-432 3,274 23 16 2009 336-555 3,666 27 26 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 53 222 1 50 232 1 41 172 1 Fantasy Points 273 255 281
Joe Flacco has room to improve in 2011 after not matching wild expectations in 2010, but it might not be easy. Flacco barely topped his sophomore season numbers with 25 touchdowns, 10 interceptions and 3,622 yards on 306 of 489 passing. That includes nine games with multiple touchdowns and eight with 250 or more passing yards (one over 300 yards). He also rushed for a score while totaling 84 yards on the ground, though he fumbled four times and was sacked 40 times (both career-worst stats). The Ravens' offense has changed -Todd Heap and Derrick Mason are gone, eliminating some of Flacco's reliable targets, and they will be replaced by Lee Evans, who was added via trade. Boldin and Ray Rice remain, as do rookie Torrey Smith and second-year tight end Ed Dickson. While expectations should be tempered some, Flacco should still be in a position to help Fantasy owners, especially in matchups against the Browns (five touchdowns against them in '10). Consider him a low-end No. 1/high-end No. 2 Fantasy quarterback worth a pick between Rounds 7 and 8 in drafts this summer. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 304-489 3,461 21 11 2010 306-489 3,622 25 10 2009 315-499 3,613 21 12 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 41 98 1 43 84 1 34 62 0 Fantasy Points 252 280 248

One of the most popular sleepers of the 2011 draft season is Josh Freeman, who will captain the Buccaneers' upstart offense. Freeman accounted for 25 touchdowns and nine turnovers last season while throwing for nearly 3,500 yards and running for more than 350. Only four times all last year did he fall below 15 Fantasy points in a standard-scoring league, and more of the same is expected. Freeman's ability to run for first downs and throw for touchdowns pales only to the likes of Michael Vick and Aaron Rodgers, and his receiving corps is among the brightest young units in the league. A good, not great, schedule should keep Freeman's numbers competitive, but there's no question that he's one of the top young passers in the NFL right now. We'd draft Freeman as a low-end No. 1 Fantasy quarterback worth a pick in Round 7 or 8. We'd advise owners to take a good backup behind him just in case he falls below already lofty expectations. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 319-513 3,610 24 14 2010 291-474 3,451 25 6 2009 159-291 1,857 10 18 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 56 251 1 68 364 0 31 162 0 Fantasy Points 286 308 114
Ryan Fitzpatrick heads into the 2011 season as the expected starting quarterback for the Bills. Fitzpatrick took over in Week 3 last year and played well. He finished the season with 3,000 passing yards, 23 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He also had 40 carries for 269 yards and five fumbles in 13 starts. He had six starts with at least 18 Fantasy points and five starts with 15 points or less. He has a limited receiving corps with just Steve Johnson as a proven option after Lee Evans was traded to Baltimore, but head coach Chan Gailey has gotten quality production out of most quarterbacks who play in his offense. What's more, the Bills added Brad Smith this offseason and plan to use him as a Wildcat quarterback (and possibly more). Fitzpatrick should be OK as a one-week replacement quarterback when the matchup is right but he otherwise shouldn't be touched in Fantasy play, even if he's in a contract year. Don't draft him outside of two-QB leagues. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 286-473 3,271 19 14 2010 255-441 3,000 23 15 2009 127-227 1,422 9 10 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 38 166 0 40 269 0 31 141 1 Fantasy Points 225 244 106

David Garrard's so-so passing totals were buoyed by his rushing totals once again last season, but it might be the last time he gets the opportunity to get both. That's because the Jaguars drafted rookie QB Blaine Gabbert, effectively putting Garrard on notice that his time with the team will end sooner than later. Chances are he'll begin 2011 as their starter but will make way for Gabbert once the team struggles or once 2012 comes. Garrard has maintained a solid rushing average for three years now, maintaining it with over 65 carries per season with 10 total rushing touchdowns. But in 2010, Garrard managed 23 passing scores, a career high, while really reeling in his pass attempts (366 after 516 in '09) and improving his accuracy (a career-best 64.5 pct.). He even halved his fumbling from a year ago, going from eight to four. But even with the improved numbers, the Jaguars have made their move for the future, which makes Garrard an unappealing No. 2 Fantasy QB option in 2011. Draft him to be a backup, nothing more, with a late-round pick. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 195-326 2,212 14 10 2010 236-366 2,734 23 15 2009 314-516 3,597 15 10 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 57 250 3 66 279 5 77 323 3 Fantasy Points 191 266 249
In the first major move of the Jim Harbaugh era, the 49ers traded up in the second round to take Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick with the 36th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. While there's a growing sentiment that Alex Smith will resign with San Francisco, there's nothing from his past play that suggests he could be the franchise's long-term solution. In fact, Harbaugh declared a competition for the starting job in camp this summer. Kaepernick threw for 3,022 yards and 21 touchdowns for the Wolfpack last season -- and had 59 rushing touchdowns in four years -- but has been dinged for his elongated throwing motion, perhaps the biggest reason he slipped into the second round. Kaepernick's an interesting choice for Harbaugh. He's not quite a raw projecttype passer, but he's far from a finished product. But what really makes him appealing is his ability to extend plays, and with the receivers he'll have in San Francisco, that could result in some really big stats. We wouldn't gamble on Kaepernick in seasonal leagues, but he's worth the middle- to late-round pick in dynasty/keeper leagues and a Top 20 pick in rookie-only drafts. If he beats out Smith for the starting job then he'll really start to draw some attention. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 67-118 804 6 6 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 14 77 1 Fantasy Points 66

Matt Hasselbeck surprised many when he agreed to sign with the Titans in late July. He'll head to a Tennessee team that has a quarterback for the future in Jake Locker but still serve as their quarterback in 2011. In 2010, Hasselbeck had an inconsistent season with 3,001 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and 17 interceptions and 60 rushing yards with three touchdowns in the regular season. But he'll have better weapons around him in Tennessee and a better offensive line than what he had in Seattle. There's actually optimism that Hasselbeck can put up better stats in Tennessee than he has in his last few years with the Seahawks. Consider him a No. 2 option as a bye-week or injury replacement, especially if he can stay healthy and hold on to the job through the regular season (the Titans' record will ultimately determine that). -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 251-410 3,035 17 11 2010 266-444 3,001 12 17 2009 293-488 3,029 17 17 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 21 80 1 23 60 3 26 119 0 Fantasy Points 209 172 194
Kevin Kolb was traded to the Cardinals and will start there in 2011. Throwing to elite receiver Larry Fitzgerald will be a nice boon for him as will having tight end Todd Heap as a security blanket. Kolb, who has shown flashes of both brilliance and timidness through his limited playing time, also received a lucrative contract extension that includes $20 million guaranteed. Not bad for a guy with 319 career pass attempts and seven starts (though many of his fine stats came in his starts). We think it's best to call Kolb a No. 2 Fantasy QB with obvious upside, making him a consideration with a middle- to late-round pick on Draft Day. Having Fitzgerald as a weapon to throw to is nice, but the fact that he's not a proven commodity knocks him down a peg. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 305-485 3,325 20 15 2010 115-189 1,197 7 7 2009 62-96 741 4 3 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 33 112 1 14 68 0 4 5 1 Fantasy Points 234 75 51

The Titans believe they filled the biggest hole on their roster with their first pick in the NFL Draft, taking QB Jake Locker of Washington at No. 8 overall. But then they buried Locker in that hole when they signed Matt Hasselbeck in late July. Hasselbeck is expected to begin the year as the Titans' starter while Locker waits on the sideline. The former Huskie was 619 of 1,148 for 7,639 yards with 53 touchdowns and 35 interceptions in his college career, adding 1,939 yards (4.27 rush avg.) on the ground. He also rushed for 29 touchdowns. Locker has a very strong arm but is dogged by a career 54 completion percentage in college and a suspect ability to read defenses. That doesn't sound good, but the truth is that Locker will be a work-in-progress type for Tennessee with the long-term goal of running the franchise's offense for a decade. Fantasy owners should pass on Locker in seasonal leagues and pick him up with a late pick in dynasty/keeper leagues and an early-round choice in rookie-only drafts. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 61-107 736 3 3 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 13 55 1 Fantasy Points 51

Someone had to take Ryan Mallett in the 2011 NFL Draft, and the Patriots finally pulled the trigger in Round 3. He will compete with Brian Hoyer for the backup job behind Tom Brady, but Mallett will most likely be the No. 3 QB on the depth chart. Don't plan on drafting Mallett in the majority of seasonal leagues even if you're the type of owner who likes to handcuff quarterbacks. But in dynasty/keeper leagues he could be worth taking with a late-round pick, and the same goes for his value in rookie-only leagues. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 0-0 0 0 0 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 0 0 0 Fantasy Points 0

Eli Manning may never get the same recognition that his brother Peyton has among Fantasy owners, but he's starting to look like a legit option with his performance the past two years. Manning heads into 2011 with consecutive seasons of 4,000-passing yards and 58 touchdown passes over that span. He has a solid receiving corps, especially if Steve Smith returns as a free agent and is healthy following a knee injury, and the Giants are becoming more balanced on offense. If Manning can cut down on the turnovers (25 interceptions and five fumbles in 2010) then his value will rise. We consider Manning a low-end No. 1 Fantasy QB this season, and he's worth drafting with a mid-round pick. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 323-520 3,936 24 14 2010 339-539 4,002 31 25 2009 317-509 4,021 27 14 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 26 58 0 32 70 0 17 65 0 Fantasy Points 273 293 284

Everyone knows that Peyton Manning is great for Fantasy Football, but is there anything that separates him from the rest of the elite quarterbacks? His track record for starters. Without missing a game, Manning has averaged just over 4,200 passing yards per season and 263 yards per game. He also is averaging nearly two touchdowns per game over his career and did top that average in each of his last two years. He also has thrown 1,250 passes over his last two seasons, more than he's thrown in any back-to-back years of his career. That suggests he could continue his torrid passing pace in 2011, especially if his receiving corps comes back healthy (remember that he didn't have Austin Collie, Anthony Gonzalez and Dallas Clark for more than half of last season). A pretty good schedule with 10 indoor games only makes Manning's appeal grow. Look for him to be taken in Round 2 of every Fantasy league. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 424-625 4,615 32 18 2010 450-679 4,700 33 17 2009 393-571 4,500 33 16 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 20 8 0 18 18 0 19 -13 0 Fantasy Points 339 351 346
The Panthers made Auburn QB Cam Newton the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, giving them an athletic passer with a polarizing personality to help them on and off the field. At 6-foot-5 and 248 pounds, Newton combined brute strength to barrel over defenders on the run with a strong arm. He accounted for 50 touchdowns, a 14-0 record, won the Heisman Trophy and led the Tigers to the national championship. Panthers head coach Ron Rivera stressed Newton isn't designed to be a "franchise savior," but said he'll get a shot to play as a rookie and compete with Jimmy Clausen. Newton is far from a perfect passer, but the blueprint is there for him to be a very productive quarterback. His mid-range accuracy needs work and his love and knowledge of the game needs to be proven. Fantasy owners should forget about him in standard seasonal leagues, but for those owners in dynasty/keeper leagues he's worth a middle- to late-round pick. Expect him to end up between fourth and 10th overall in rookie-only drafts. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 271-461 3,123 16 14 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 42 181 3 Fantasy Points 221

Colt McCoy was forced into action as a rookie in 2010, but the Browns are expected to make him their starter heading into 2011. That's because McCoy, when pressed into duty due to injuries, did a nice job of taking care of the football and is considered a perfect fit for Cleveland's new West Coast offense. McCoy ended last year with 1,576 passing yards, nine interceptions, six passing touchdowns, one rushing touchdown and 136 rushing yards. It was nothing to write home about, but if the Browns can improve their receiving corps, there's some optimism for McCoy to play fairly well. He should only be picked late in leagues that start two quarterbacks or in deeper dynasty/keeper leagues, but owners might find him in some appealing matchups during the season thanks to a great schedule. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 275-437 2,621 15 13 2010 135-222 1,576 6 9 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 38 166 1 28 136 1 Fantasy Points 187 101
Kyle Orton was expected to land with a new team this summer after it was reported in late July that he was on the Broncos' trading block, but he never got shipped out. Now it appears he's in line to start in 2011 for the Broncos. He started 2010 as the No. 1 quarterback in Denver but ended playing behind Tebow for the final three games due to a rib injury. He finished the season with a career-high 20 touchdowns and his second year in a row with at least 3,650 passing yards. He also had just nine interceptions and completed 59 percent of his passes. His value will ultimately be determined by who he's playing with and the system, but if he's in Denver then he's still likely to be a No. 2 quarterback. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 275-443 3,166 19 10 2010 293-498 3,652 20 9 2009 336-541 3,802 21 12 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 25 75 0 22 98 0 24 71 0 Fantasy Points 226 249 257

Donovan McNabb was finally able to get out of Washington, and he is expected to play and mentor rookie QB Christian Ponder in Minnesota this season as a result. McNabb was miserable in his first year in Washington in 2010 and was benched for the final three games in favor of Rex Grossman. McNabb clashed with coach Mike Shanahan, and his play suffered with a 58 percent completion percentage, 3,377 yards, 14 touchdowns and 15 interceptions and 151 rushing yards, no touchdowns and one fumble. McNabb did have four games with at least 19 Fantasy points, but he also had seven games with 15 points or fewer. Part of the problem was a lackluster receiving corps, but McNabb also looked lost in a new offense for the first time in 13 years. He could also be slowing down at 34, but he still remains a startingcaliber QB. With his new team in place and a chip likely n his shoulder, we see
After throwing for 26 touchdowns, 20 interceptions and 3,970 yards (61.8 comp. pct., 6.77 yards/att.) in 2010, Palmer asked for a trade out of Cincinnati in January. The team rejected the request and are holding Palmer's rights. For now, it appears that Palmer would rather retire than play for the Bengals and therefore isn't likely to play at this point. Palmer was inconsistent in 2010 but ended the year with five touchdowns, two interceptions, 574 yards and a 72 pct. completion percentage over his last two games. That was without established receivers and it provides evidence that he's not washed up. Keep Palmer off of Fantasy rosters until it's clear that he's on the comeback trail. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 0-0 0 0 0 2010 362-586 3,970 26 20 2009 282-466 3,094 21 13 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 0 0 0 32 50 0 39 93 3 Fantasy Points 0 275 250

The Vikings selected QB Christian Ponder from Florida State with the 12th overall pick in the NFL draft. Ponder ranks among the top five at FSU for career passing yards (4th, 6,866), career completions (3rd, 595), career total offense (3rd, 7,696), career TD passes (tied 5th, 49) and career completion percentage (2nd, 62.0). Injuries played a role in college for Ponder, who has had elbow surgery, a concussion and a Grade-3 separation of his throwing shoulder since 2009. Ponder played in a pro-style offense with the Seminoles that's similar to what the Vikings will run under new offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave, and that's a huge positive. The negatives are that he's injury prone given how he was banged up in college and that he doesn't have a cannon for an arm. But that's OK because he'll run an offense based on the West Coast system, which means he won't throw a ton of deep passes and will instead rely on his accuracy. Given his targets, we don't hate Ponder assuming he winds up starting in Minnesota this season. If that happens then he could actually be useful as a one-week replacement off waivers during the season when given a favorable matchup. The only leagues he should be drafted in are dynasty/keeper leagues (late-round pick) and rookie-only drafts (second- or third-round pick). -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 68-109 685 3 3 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 11 30 0 Fantasy Points 40
After totaling 3,822 yards, 24 total touchdowns and nine interceptions in 15 games (12 regular-season games plus three postseason games including Super Bowl XLV), Ben Roethlisberger has proven that he's a legitimate Fantasy starting quarterback. He posted at least 18 Fantasy points in seven of 12 regular-season starts. Though his completion percentage took a dip, Roethlisberger's receiving corps showed promise with the additions of Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown joining Mike Wallace and Hines Ward. Tack on a really favorable schedule in 2011, including games against the AFC South and NFC West, and signs point to Big Ben having a great shot at getting north of 4,000 yards and 25 touchdowns in 2011, just as he did in 2009. There's really no reason to forget about Roethlisberger on Draft Day; if you opt to pass on quarterbacks early in your draft, he'll be there between Rounds 5 and 7 and help your lineup. Consider him a very good value pick. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 308-492 4,044 23 10 2010 240-389 3,200 17 5 2009 337-506 4,328 26 12 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 37 100 2 34 176 2 41 79 2 Fantasy Points 294 243 318

Philip Rivers continues to prove he's among the best quarterbacks in the NFL and one of the top Fantasy options. He enters this season looking for his fourth year in a row with at least 4,000 passing yards and at least 28 touchdowns. Better yet, Rivers' pass attempts have increased each year since 2007 from 460 to 478 to 486 to a career-high 541 last season. He also should have Vincent Jackson back for a full year and a healthy Antonio Gates as well. The one downside for Rivers could be if the Chargers decide to be more balanced on offense with second-year running back Ryan Mathews expected to improve. But even if that happens, it's not like Rivers will slow down much. We like Rivers as a top 5 Fantasy quarterback worth drafting in Round 2 in all leagues. If he falls to Round 3, then consider it a steal. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 335-508 4,405 28 12 2010 357-541 4,710 30 13 2009 317-486 4,254 28 9 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 27 55 0 29 52 0 26 50 1 Fantasy Points 322 341 325
Tony Romo is expected to return at 100 percent from a fractured left clavicle that limited him to just five full games in 2010. He should come back as a No. 1 Fantasy quarterback and we recommend drafting him with a pick as early as Round 3 in all leagues. Prior to 2010, Romo passed for at least 4,200 yards in two of his previous three years. He also had 88 touchdowns and 42 interceptions from 2007-09, and last year he was on pace for an outstanding season (5,011 yards, 32 touchdowns, 22 interceptions) before he was hurt against the Giants in Week 7. He has an outstanding receiving corps in Miles Austin, Dez Bryant and Jason Witten and a pass-happy play caller in Jason Garrett. Best of all, Romo is a great consolation prize if you miss out on the upper-echelon quarterbacks through the first 25 picks. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 375-567 4,452 28 17 2010 148-213 1,605 11 7 2009 347-550 4,483 26 9 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 31 77 0 6 38 0 35 105 1 Fantasy Points 314 120 325

Aaron Rodgers, GB
Bye: 8
Over the last two years, drafting Aaron Rodgers was one of the smartest, shrewdest moves a Fantasy owner could have made. It still should be in 2011, but it's going to cost you a high draft pick to get him. Rodgers has totaled at least 32 touchdowns in each of his last three seasons with an average of 4,131 passing yards in that span. Clearly, since taking over the starting job for the Packers, Rodgers has been lights out, and last year it pushed the Packers to a Super Bowl win. Our research suggests that quarterbacks who win a Super Bowl are primed to play well the following season, and our analysis of the Packers' schedule suggests another playoff run is coming. That means Rodgers should play stunning football once again thanks to his healthy receiving corps and aggressive play calling (not to mention his own ability). Rodgers is a rock solid No. 1 Fantasy QB but to land him you'll likely need a first-round pick or early-second round selection. Hes that good, and he should perform well again this year. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 331-502 4,370 30 13 2010 312-475 3,922 28 11 2009 350-541 4,434 30 7 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 50 239 4 64 356 4 59 304 5 Fantasy Points 371 359 401
This could be the year Matt Ryan becomes an elite passer. He's firmly entrenched as a No. 1 Fantasy quarterback with Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez among his veteran targets and rookie Julio Jones his newest play toy. The addition of Jones will force defenses to play very honest, and Ryan should be able to pick them apart. After throwing for 3,705 yards and 28 passing touchdowns last season, expectations are higher and as a result Ryan should deliver fairly big totals on a weekly basis. Expect Ryan to follow Tony Romo and Matt Schaub off draft boards this summer as early as Round 4. There's tremendous upside here given that Ryan completed just 62.5 pct. of his passes and averaged just 6.5 yards per attempt. If you whiff on an elite passer through the first three rounds of your draft, winding up with Ryan is a terrific consolation prize. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 352-557 4,015 27 15 2010 357-571 3,705 28 9 2009 263-451 2,916 22 14 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 41 88 1 46 122 0 30 49 1 Fantasy Points 303 308 226

For the second year in a row, Mark Sanchez took the Jets to the AFC Championship Game, this time losing to the Steelers after falling to the Colts in his rookie year. But unlike 2009, Sanchez improved in 2010 -- or so it appears. His stats from his sophomore season (3,291 passing yards, 17 touchdowns and 13 interceptions and 105 rushing yards, three rush touchdowns and one fumble) were better than his rookie campaign (2,444 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and 20 interceptions and 106 rushing yards, three touchdowns and three fumbles). But Sanchez also had 15 dropped interceptions, which led the NFL. Still, when you look at his positive production, it does show he is improving. He had six games with at least 18 Fantasy points and five multitouchdown games. Sanchez saw the team keep Santonio Holmes but part ways with Braylon Edwards and Jerricho Cotchery, opting to sign Plaxico Burress and Derrick Mason. That's considered an improvement, and he should get better. He should still be viewed as a No. 2 option with a late-round pick.

Matthew Stafford has a big arm, a couple of big-play weapons, a seasoned offensive coordinator, a good running back and a decent offensive line. He also has a shoulder that is made of glass. The Lions' quarterback has suffered four serious shoulder injuries over two seasons and is coming off of shoulder surgery for the second offseason in a row. He's on track to be ready for the start of the season, and the potential he brings to the table given his play last season (535 yards, six touchdowns, one interception in nine quarters) is obvious. Your best bet is to draft Stafford as a blue-chip No. 2 Fantasy quarterback worth a pick starting in Round 9, albeit not with a low-end No. 1 Fantasy quarterback since it can't be assumed that Stafford will play 16 games.

Matt Schaub's numbers drifted south in 2010 compared to his mammoth 2009 totals, but he still remains a fine starting Fantasy QB for owners to draft. Starting 16 games for the second year in a row, Schaub's passing yardage (4,370), completion percentage (63.6), yards per attempt (7.61) and passing scores (24) were all below last year's marks. On the plus side, he threw fewer interceptions (12) and had over 15 Fantasy points in 11 games. There's optimism for Schaub to outperform these numbers in 2011: His offensive line has become a strength, he's getting a lot of good stats out of Arian Foster, tight end Owen Daniels has re-signed and will undergo a normal offseason instead of rehabbing a knee injury and the team might finally address their No. 2 receiver spot opposite Andre Johnson after another disappointing year from Kevin Walter and Jacoby Jones. If that spot is addressed, and with the Texans playing under a win-or-else mandate and with a mostly favorable schedule, Schaub should put up some good numbers. He's worth drafting after the elite QB options are off the board in Round 3 and is someone to target if you don't like taking your quarterbacks early in drafts. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 359-550 4,417 25 14 2010 365-574 4,370 24 12 2009 396-583 4,770 29 15 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 32 55 1 22 28 0 47 61 0 Fantasy Points 304 292 338
Tim Tebow was expected to end up as the Broncos' starting quarterback after it was revealed in late July that the team would shop Kyle Orton around the league, but Orton was never shipped. Now there's discussion that Tebow will start 2011 on the bench. In 2010, Tebow started the final three games of his rookie season with Orton out with a rib injury and the former Florida Gator had at least 24 Fantasy points in a standard league in all three outings. He finished with 651 passing yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions, with 199 rushing yards and three touchdowns in that span. His ability to run and throw makes him an excellent stat producer, but if he's not playing then he's not putting up any numbers. We would consider him a high-end No. 2 Fantasy quarterback if he's the starter worth a late-round pick. If he's not starting, then go ahead and punt on him. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 30-53 348 2 1 2010 41-82 654 5 3 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 31 144 2 43 227 6 Fantasy Points 48 108

Alll signs point to Alex Smith returning to the 49ers as their starting quarterback in 2011, even with the addition of rookie QB Colin Kaepernick in the second round of the NFL Draft. Most likely, Smith will start, and if he plays well, he will remain in the position throughout the year. If he struggles, Kaepernick will take over. Smith had a down year in 2010. He completed 60 percent of his passes for 2,370 yards, 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with two fumbles in 10 starts. The coaching staff lost faith in him, and now we'll find out how new coach Jim Harbaugh feels about Smith if the 49ers do in fact bring him back as their starter. In 2009, Smith was stellar, and we hope he can return to that level. He does have talented weapons in Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree and Frank Gore, but Smith has a lot to prove. Even if he is named the starter, Smith should not be drafted in the majority of leagues. If he starts out the season playing well then add him off the waiver wire as a bye-week or injury replacement. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 261-433 3,128 17 12 2010 204-342 2,370 14 10 2009 225-372 2,350 18 12 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 31 77 0 18 60 0 24 51 0 Fantasy Points 207 162 181
Michael Vick went from someone who was despised by all for his involvement in a dog-fighting ring to a player most Fantasy owners now covet on Draft Day. That's because of his play in 2010 when he took over for an injured Kevin Kolb and finished with the best season of his career. Vick passed for 3,018 yards on 63 percent completions with 21 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also added 676 rushing yards and nine touchdowns with just three fumbles. The passing yards, completion percentage, touchdowns and rushing touchdowns were all career highs, and he's looking to build on that performance this season. Vick will remain in a contract year after being designated as Philadelphia's franchise player, and Fantasy owners should view him as a potential first-round pick. He should easily be drafted as one of the Top 3 quarterbacks and should have another dynamic season. If there's a catch with Vick, it's that injuries could play a role -- he missed three games during the season with a rib injury and sat out the season finale to rest for the playoffs. But Vick's ability to pass and run makes him a unique asset that Fantasy owners have to at least think about in all formats. -------------- Passing --------------Year Comp-Att Yds TD Int 2011 (proj) 265-429 3,453 24 14 2010 233-372 3,018 21 6 2009 6-13 86 1 0 --- Rushing --Att Yds TD 91 505 7 100 676 9 24 95 2 Fantasy Points 341 351 30

The team gave Webb a couple of opportunities to play and while he led them to a 1-1 record, he failed to throw a touchdown pass and saw the team draft Christian Ponder with a first-round pick. What makes Webb alluring to Fantasy owners is his raw ability, especially as a runner, and in some leagues he can start as a flex option.

He landed with Chicago and could see time in short-yardage situations and at the goal line with the Bears in place of starter Matt Forte. However, his hard-running style has led to him slowing down, and last year was a struggle, running for just 374 yards on 113 carries (3.3 avg.) with four scores in 13 games.

With the Colts possessing limited options at running back, the team decided to bring back Joseph Addai for 2011. Thanks to a nerve injury in Addai's neck, he missed half of the 2010 season, but when he did play he ran effectively, totaling 495 yards on 116 carries (4.3 avg.) and four touchdowns. He also added 19 receptions for 124 yards. He could share the ball this season with Donald Brown and potentially others. That would make Addai nothing more than a low-end No. 2/high-end No. 3 Fantasy running back worth a look starting in Round 6.

He had a pretty solid 2010 campaign when you review his final stats (1,111 rush yards, seven rush TDs, 178 receiving yards, receiving TD). But he got those totals on a very inconsistent basis: Never once did he post back-to-back good games for Fantasy owners, and his rushing average plummeted from 4.2 yards per carry in 2009 to 3.5 yards per carry last year. He also had five fumbles lost (none in 2009). He could prove more consistent in 2011 and benefit from a favorable schedule (save for the matchups against the Steelers and Ravens). As long as he remains the lead back, we consider him to be a No. 2 Fantasy RB worth a pick between Rounds 4 and 6. There's a shot that he will be a tremendous value pick for your team.

Ronnie Brown signed a one-year deal with the Eagles in early August, locking himself into a backup role behind starter LeSean McCoy. Despite Brown's starting jobs in Miami, he's not expected to see more than a handful of reps each week.

LeGarrette Blount, TB
Bye: 8
Every year Fantasy owners are surprised by a running back that breaks out. Last season, LeGarrette Blount was that running back. Blount barely played until Week 8, when he started logging significant carries and led the Tampa Bay run game for the rest of the season. Despite starting only the final seven games of the season, Blount topped 1,000 yards rushing on 201 carries with six touchdowns. Expectations are high for Blount in 2011 given his likelihood of starting weekly and dominating the carries for the Bucs. He has some difficult matchups this season and isn't expected to catch more than 15 or 20 passes this season but remains a good value for Fantasy owners starting in late Round 3 as a No. 2 Fantasy running back.

But don't be surprised if Denver decides to bring in another running back to compete with Buckhalter for that No. 2 spot. Buckhalter, 32, also isn't a lock to make the final roster. But no matter what role Buckhalter plays with Denver in 2011 he would not be worth drafting in the majority of leagues.

He's also expected to be fine after ankle surgery at the end of last season, and we're looking forward to seeing how Bradshaw plays at 100 percent health. In 2010, Bradshaw dealt with nagging injuries but still managed 276 carries for 1,235 yards (4.5 yards per carry) and eight touchdowns with 47 catches for 314 yards with six fumbles all career highs. He will share carries with Brandon Jacobs again, but Bradshaw showed last year that he can be a standout Fantasy RB in all leagues despite splitting reps.

Michael Bush is an impending free agent this offseason and he could look to leave Oakland after four years. If Bush returns, he would again serve as the secondary back behind Darren McFadden. In that role last year, Bush totaled 158 carries for 655 yards and eight touchdowns, all career highs, with 18 catches for 194 yards. But if he leaves Oakland, Bush could see an increase in touches, which would increase his Fantasy value. Bush has the potential to be a quality Fantasy RB. He has a career average of 4.4 yards per carry, but he only has 10 starts in four years. If he returns as McFadden's backup, he would be worth a mid-round pick in standard formats and a late-round pick in PPR leagues. But if he signs with a team that will allow him to start or pick up regular carries, then he could be a solid sleeper on Draft Day worth an early- to middle-round pick. Where he plays in 2011 will ultimately determine his value.

Donald Brown had the opportunity in 2010 we've been waiting for him to land since joining the Colts, but he flubbed it. Getting a big dose of the ball over the second half of the season, Brown topped 70 rush yards in a game once and topped 100 total yards twice. He only scored two touchdowns, both on the ground, and only once in place of the injured Joseph Addai. Save for a big game against Jacksonville's weak run defense in Week 15, he was really brutal to watch. Brown will tell you he's got a lot to work on for 2011, but the reality is that with his poor play last year doing him no favors, he'll be stuck with a thirddown role if Addai returns as a free agent. He would only see a boost in value if Addai leaves and the Colts don't add another running back elsewhere. But tack on injury concerns and Brown really is nothing more than a high-end reserve in standard leagues and a low-end No. 3 Fantasy running back in deeper PPR formats. He's worth a middle- to late-round pick on the hope that he can rebound some and play to expectations in the Colts' potent offense. And if you land Addai earlier in the draft, backing him up with Brown isn't a bad move.

Reggie Bush was traded to Miami prior to the start of training camp from New Orleans and agreed to a two-year contract. Bush will now share carries with rookie Daniel Thomas and play in passing situations and on special teams. Bush has dealt with numerous injuries throughout his career with the Saints, and he has failed to live up to his potential after being a star at USC. We'll find out if the move to Miami can jumpstart his career, but Fantasy owners should still continue to view Bush as a No. 4 RB in standard leagues and at best a No. 3 option in PPR formats.

Anthony Dixon is expected to be the No. 2 RB in San Francisco this season behind Frank Gore even with the addition of rookie Kendall Hunter. Most likely, Dixon would be the replacement for Gore if he's injured, and Hunter will be considered the change-of-pace back and used as a receiver out of the backfield. Dixon saw extended playing time as a rookie in 2010 with Gore only playing in 11 games due to a hip injury. He had 70 carries for 237 yards and two touchdowns and five catches for 11 yards while sharing time with fellow backup Brian Westbrook, who is a free agent. Gore is healthy again this year and should get the majority of touches, but Dixon should still get a handful of carries each week and could work at the goal line. Dixon has minimal Fantasy value in the majority of leagues, but he is worth drafting as a handcuff option for Gore. Keep in mind that Gore hasn't played in 16 games in a season since 2006, so don't be surprised if Dixon ends up starting a game or two in 2011.

Jamaal Charles proved he's an elite Fantasy running back and we hope the Chiefs decide to treat him that way in 2011. In 2010, Charles shared carries with Thomas Jones, but Charles was clearly the better running back. He had more than 1,900 total yards and eight touchdowns despite getting 20 carries just three times. Charles will share carries with Jones again this season, but their careers are headed in opposite directions and their workloads likely are too. Charles has home-run speed, dynamic playmaking ability and back-toback seasons with at least 40 catches. He can do it all and we see no reason for him to slow down this year. With an increased workload, Charles should be a candidate for 2,000 total yards and double digits in touchdowns. We consider Charles a first-round pick in all leagues and a potential top 5 overall draft pick.

Justin Forsett failed to deliver as a starting RB for the Seahawks in 2010, making expectations for this year much lower than they were previously. He will enter this season as the third-down back behind starter Marshawn Lynch after totaling 118 carries for 523 yards and two touchdowns and 33 catches for 252 yards last year. He is entering a contract year and might be able to post close to 1,000 total yards with a handful of touchdowns. We consider Forsett a decent reserve Fantasy RB, and he's worth a late-round pick. He's a good handcuff option for Lynch, and his value is slightly higher in PPR leagues. Don't be surprised if you end up using Forsett for a couple of weeks during the season as either a bye-week or injury replacement.

Tashard Choice appears once again headed for the No. 3 role in the Dallas backfield behind Felix Jones and rookie DeMarco Murray. There's a chance Marion Barber could return in 2011, but we don't see that happening. Choice has played well when given a chance. In 2010 he had two games with at least 15 carries and finished with double digits in Fantasy points in a standard league in both outings. He had one game like that in 2009 and two games like that in 2008. Keep an eye on what the Cowboys do with Barber, but Choice is only worth drafting with a late-round pick in deep leagues since he will open the season behind Jones and Murray.

Arian Foster went from preseason sleeper to Fantasy superstar, and now the hope is that he'll continue to dominate defenses in 2011. There's concern that head coach Gary Kubiak might give some of Foster's workload to Ben Tate, who the Texans drafted with a second-round pick last year, but Foster has proven to be too good a player to be taken off the field more than a few times per game, so we suspect Foster will still get 20 touches per outing. On a steady diet of that last season he totaled 18 touchdowns and over 2,200 yards with just two fumbles lost. He even played through a knee injury that required arthroscopic surgery in February. While some Fantasy owners think Foster is a one-year wonder, we contend that he'll have the same kind of opportunity he had for all of 2010, and that's why he's worth a very high draft pick. He's not a bad choice as the No. 1 overall pick in drafts and should be off the board prior to No. 3 overall.

Hard-charging running back Toby Gerhart is expected to be Adrian Peterson's primary backup in 2011.

He also proved that he can catch the ball awfully well, so we could see him swipe some third-down work from AP. But as long as Peterson's healthy, Gerhart won't be appealing to Fantasy owners. It would be wise for those owners who drop a first-round pick on Peterson to spend a late-round pick on Gerhart.

Ryan Grant is focused on re-establishing himself with the Packers (and with Fantasy owners) after missing nearly the team's entire Super Bowl run in 2010. Grant suffered a serious ankle injury in Week 1 and was placed on injured reserve. He watched the Packers' run game toil until James Starks breathed life into it late in the season. The Packers' coaching staff likes Starks and could bank on pairing him with Grant in 2011 (rookie Alex Green is a dark horse to fit in, too). But Grant has pretty much worked alone since taking over as the Packers running back in 2007 and could work hard this summer to regain that spot during the season. Tack on that he's entering a contract year, and Grant has all the motivation in the world to play big. We've seen Grant fall in drafts, but with his ankle injury behind him (he said he could have played in the Super Bowl), that makes him a tremendous value pick in drafts. Expect him to fall to at least Round 5 as owners become skeptical of him. With a year of watching football, not playing football, under his belt, he should have a solid season ahead of him. Figure him to begin the season as a low-end No. 2/high-end No. 3 Fantasy RB.

The Packers made a bit of a splash in Round 3 when they selected Hawaii RB Alex Green. As a senior at Hawaii last season, Green rushed for 1,199 yards and 18 touchdowns in 146 carries. He also caught 27 passes for 363 yards and a touchdown. Green fumbled eight times in 271 touches at Hawaii and admitted that he's working on some pad-level issues that contribute to his turnovers. He's a big one-cut rusher with some quickness to him but tends to take on too much contact and as such could continue his fumbling issues or get injured. He also lacks breakaway speed. But his arrival in Green Bay pretty much means that the team was concerned about their depth at the position. With a strong camp, Green could get in the mix to help the Packers in 2011, but until then he's not worth drafting in seasonal formats. He is worth a middleto late-round pick in dynasty/keeper leagues and a third-round pick in rookieonly drafts.

Frank Gore is healthy following last year's hip injury, which cut short his season in Week 12 and limited him to 11 games. But he thinks he isn't healthy contractually, though he ended his holdout on August 1. Gore, who is entering a contract year, is looking for a new deal. But is he starting to break down? He's only played 16 games once in his career in 2006 and has dealt with a variety of injuries the past two seasons. And despite saying the Niners want him to dominate the carries, the team wants him to be healthy and could give a handful of touches to Anthony Dixon and rookie Kendall Hunter. Still, it's hard to argue with Gore's production with 200 carries a year each year since 2006 with at least 46 catches. He has the potential for 1,500 total yards and eight total touchdowns -- but he must remain healthy. Remember, he hasn't had any team-oriented conditioning this offseason and spent a lot of time rehabbing his
Shonn Greene is hoping to make up for being a Fantasy bust in 2010 with a strong season in 2011. Last year, Greene was expected to take over the starting job with Thomas Jones gone. Instead, Greene was again relegated to backup duty for another veteran in LaDainian Tomlinson. Greene could again share carries with Tomlinson this season if he returns, but the Jets should make it clear that Greene is their man. He had another solid playoff run for the second year in a row, and he's capable of being an elite Fantasy running back based on his size, speed and the offensive line he plays behind. Still, if Tomlinson remains in the fold or if rookie Bilal Powell has a strong training camp then temper your expectations for Greene slightly, especially based on what happened last year, but he should be considered a No. 2 Fantasy running back. We recommend drafting Greene around Round 4 in standard leagues, and hopefully his third year in the NFL will lead to a breakout season.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis is a restricted free agent this offseason, but he's expected to remain with the Patriots in 2011. He's looking to build off his breakout year in 2010 when he had 238 carries for 1,051 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns and 14 catches for 96 yards. Green-Ellis had 10 games with double digits in Fantasy points and only three games with fewer than eight points. He was as consistent as they get, but the Patriots didn't do him any favors this offseason by drafting rookies Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley. Along with Danny Woodhead, the New England backfield is now loaded. That said, Green-Ellis remains the best Fantasy RB of the bunch, but he was a No. 2 Fantasy option prior to the NFL Draft, and now he should be considered more of a No. 3 RB. He will likely start and work at the goal line, but he'll come off the field on passing situations. And with Ridley, he could lose some potential goal-line touches.

The Redskins drafted rookie RB Roy Helu in the fourth round of the NFL Draft out of Nebraska. Helu, a 220-pound bruiser, played for four seasons for the Huskers and rushed for 3,536 yards and 28 touchdowns over that span. Coach Mike Shanahan said Helu reminds him of a young Clinton Portis, which is about as good of an endorsement as he could ask for. With only Ryan Torain, Keiland Williams and fellow rookie Evan Royster on the Redskins' roster, there's room for Helu to have a decent role to begin the year. In fact, Helu reminds us a lot of Torain in that he's a one-cut runner fresh out of college who's caught Shanny's attention. With some help from the coach, he could improve his game and be productive. Play it safe and consider Helu a low-risk Fantasy proposition for now -- he's worth a later-round pick in seasonal leagues and a middle- to late-round pick in dynasty/keeper leagues. He's also worth a pick between 15th and 30th overall in rookie-only drafts. Year 2011 (proj) ------ Rushing -----Att Yds TD 136 607 3 ----- Receiving ----Rcpt Yds TD 10 74 0 FL 2 Fantasy Points 82

What might happen is that Hardesty takes a few carries off of Hillis' plate each week, giving him some value but basically making him a quality handcuff option for Hillis.

A Virginia native, Hightower is entering a contract year and could rebound from the lows he had in 2010.

The Browns gave up only quarterback Brady Quinn for Peyton Hillis and they sure were glad they did. For much of the year, Hillis bowled over his competition and put up some impressive totals: He scored in each of his first five games, and he had either a touchdown or 100 total yards in 11 games. Hillis had 1,177 yards and 11 touchdowns on 270 carries. He added 61 catches for 477 yards and two more scores, with three fumbles and 13 passing yards. To say the guy was a big part of the Browns offense is an understatement, but a very slow finish (272 rush yards, 63 receiving yards, no touchdowns in his final five games) might force the Browns to re-think their strategy to lean on Hillis week in and week out. We suspect that the Browns will use Montario Hardesty, who missed his rookie year in 2010 with a knee injury, to help Hillis and thus cost him some stats. But we also suspect that Hillis won't be forgotten, and that he'll have a shot at 10 touchdowns with some pretty good yards along the way. Treat him like a No. 2 Fantasy RB -- not the No. 1 rusher he ended 2010 as -- and aim for him with a pick between the end of Round 2 and beginning of Round 3 on Draft Day.

Kareem Huggins had mild expectations last season before getting hurt early in the season and ultimately going on injured reserve with a torn ACL.

Mark Ingram, NO
Bye: 11
The Saints traded back into Round 1 in April's draft to select Alabama RB Mark Ingram with the 28th overall selection. Ingram rushed for 1,658 yards in 2009, won the Heisman Trophy and led Alabama to the national championship. Ingram is a well-documented rusher: He's polished as a blocker and as a receiver and is an absolute bulldozer between the tackles, and that's where we suspect the Saints will ride him the most. There is serious touchdown potential here, although the chances of him totaling more than 1,000 yards as a rookie aren't huge. He will share carries with Pierre Thomas and potentially Chris Ivory, plus if Reggie Bush comes back then he'll see some touches, too. Ingram's overall outlook is tempered by his relocating to New Orleans, but he still should help Fantasy owners as a low-end No. 2/high-end No. 3 Fantasy RB. Just don't be the guy who reaches for Ingram in Rounds 3 or 4 -- target him for your roster in Round 5 in seasonal leagues and dynasty/keeper formats. He's a Top-5 pick in rookie-only drafts.

Steven Jackson continues to prove he's among the best Fantasy options in all leagues. Heading into 2011, the Rams talked about giving Jackson some help to keep him fresh, but he spoke out about being an every-down back and said he relishes that role. Since 2005, Jackson has at least 1,300 total yards in all but one season, which was 2007 when he was limited to 12 games. He still managed 1,273 total yards that year. In 2010, Jackson had more than 1,600 total yards and six touchdowns. We'd like to see Jackson score more (he has just 10 total touchdowns in his past two years), but it's hard to argue with his production. Now, the Rams don't want Jackson to break down and could make some moves to ensure he'll be around for a playoff run. After all, he has 907 rushes in his last 43 games (over three seasons). But as long as he's the starter without losing touches to either a third-down back or a goal-line vulture, he should be drafted as a low-end No. 1 Fantasy RB with a pick toward the end of Round 1 or beginning of Round 2. Jackson, who has at least 40 catches in five of seven NFL seasons, could also see his receptions rise with the addition of new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, so his value should improve slightly in PPR leagues if that's even possible.

Chris Ivory really helped the Saints last season, leading them in rushing and finishing the season strong until suffering a Lisfranc sprain in his foot. Now he'll be on the sidelines while rookie RB Mark Ingram leads the run game's charge in 2011 with Pierre Thomas.

Brandon Jacobs is expected to again share carries with Ahmad Bradshaw this season, but coach Tom Coughlin has said he wants to get Jacobs more involved. Jacobs finished 2010 with quality stats of 147 carries for 823 yards (5.6 avg.) and nine touchdowns, and he had seven games with double digits in Fantasy points in a standard league. Bradshaw clearly has more upside than Jacobs at this point in his career, but Jacobs is still a quality Fantasy reserve. He has the potential to duplicate his stats from 2010 this season, and with that being the case we recommend drafting him as a No. 3 RB with a mid-round pick. He's not expected to play like he did in 2008 when he had 1,089 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns, but he should still produce enough to be considered a potential flex option or someone to use as a bye-week or injury replacement.

Brandon Jackson signed a two-year deal with the Browns just as training camp began, with a chance to compete for the backup job behind Peyton Hillis. Not that he played well in 2010 he averaged 3.7 yards per carry over 190 rushing attempts in place of an injured Ryan Grant and eventually gave way to rookie James Starks. He did post a career-best three touchdowns and did total over 1,000 yards (703 rushing, 342 receiving also career-highs), so it's not like he was a complete train wreck. But Jackson will likely top out as a third-down back for Cleveland and he is not worth considering for Fantasy play even though he's coming off his best season as a pro.

Rashad Jennings is expected to be a little more than a backup in 2011, as he should take a handful of carries each week off of Maurice Jones-Drew's plate. Jennings totaled 319 rush yards, 160 receiving yards and three touchdowns in games he didn't get the full workload in, and landed 140 rush yards and 63 receiving yards with a touchdown over two starts in place of Jones-Drew. Jennings should be a late-round pick in all leagues, but it goes without saying that those owners who draft Jones-Drew early should be the ones taking Jennings starting in Round 11.

The Bills are expected to open the 2011 season with Fred Jackson as the starter at running back. He will likely share carries with C.J. Spiller, but Jackson proved in 2010 he can get the job done as the every-down running back. After getting off to slow start following a broken hand in training camp, Jackson finished the year with 222 carries for 927 yards and five touchdowns, 31 catches for 215 yards and two touchdowns and two fumbles. He had four games with double digits in Fantasy points and 10 with at least seven points. He now has back-to-back seasons of 1,100 total yards, and even though he's 29 he remains a quality Fantasy option in the majority of leagues as a No. 3 running back. Spiller will get more work in his second year in the NFL, but

Over his three-year career, Chris Johnson has averaged nearly 120 total yards per game. He's handled the rock over 22 times per game in that span and has scored in eight of 10 games. And through 47 career games, Johnson has fumbled the ball away just six times. There's no sure thing when it comes to running backs in Fantasy Football, but Johnson plays on a run-first team with an ex-offensive lineman as the head coach (Mike Munchak) and a veteran offensive coordinator looking to make a splash in his first year in Tennessee (Chris Palmer). With two games against the Colts, Texans and Jaguars each and matchups against the Browns, Broncos, Bills and Panthers also, there's so much to like about Johnson. Even matchups against the Ravens and Steelers in 2011 can't dampen an outlook this good -- figure Johnson to be a No. 1 RB in Fantasy, making him worth a pick between No. 1 and No. 4 overall in all leagues and formats. The only downside for Johnson entering the season is his lack of a quality quarterback, but Johnson's talent should overcome any deficiencies at that position.

The big concern regarding Maurice Jones-Drew heading into 2011 is whether or not the knee surgery he had following the season will impact him. We don't think it will. Jones-Drew played on the knee, complete with a bone-on-bone condition, for much of last season and played very well. He also has rehabbed properly this offseason. The bigger question is whether or not he'll lose a few more reps each week to backup running back Rashad Jennings, who did well with and without Jones-Drew in 2010. Regardless, there's no one who doesn't think Jones-Drew won't be given a sizable workload and continue to be a great source of yardage (at least 1,600 total each of the last two years and at least 1,150 yards every year) and touchdowns (at least seven total every year). Your best move is to consider Jones-Drew a solid No. 1 Fantasy running back worth a pick between fifth and 10th overall in all formats.

Felix Jones could be in line for a big season this year if he can prove he can handle the load as the featured back. There's a chance Marion Barber won't be back in Dallas, but the addition of rookie DeMarco Murray along with Tashard Choice means more of a timeshare. Still, Jones would be the starter and get the majority of touches. In 2010, Jones set career highs in carries (185), rushing yards (800), catches (48) and receiving yards (450), but he scored just twice and has only eight career touchdowns in three years. You'll take 1,250 total yards from Jones with the chance to see that rise this year, but he has to score more to be considered a weekly starter. Still, with the potential of this offense and Jones having the ability to do it all, we consider him a low-end No. 2/high-end No. 3 Fantasy running back. Plan on drafting Jones as early as Round 4 and hopefully he can start for you every week while living up to his immense potential Year 2011 (proj) 2010 2009 ------ Rushing -----Att Yds TD 207 968 4 185 800 1 116 685 3 ----- Receiving ----Rcpt Yds TD 37 325 1 48 450 1 19 119 0 FL 2 1 2 Fantasy Points 155 135 93

Thomas Jones will again work in tandem with Jamaal Charles in the Chiefs' backfield in 2011. Charles is clearly the better running back for the Chiefs and Fantasy owners, but Jones should continue to play a prominent role even at 32. In 2010, his first with the Chiefs, Jones had nine games with at least 19 carries, but he only had four games with at least 80 rushing yards and none after Week 7. He did manage six rushing touchdowns, most coming in the early part of the year, and chances are he'll work less this season in order for the Chiefs to make better use of Charles. Jones has some goal-line/short-yardage back potential, but don't expect Jones to relive his glory days even with a healthy amount of touches because his age and wear and tear (over 2,500 career carries in the regular season) make him an injury risk. Plan on drafting Jones with a late-round pick and he's a good handcuff option if you draft Charles in Round 1. Just keep in mind that Jones is on the downside of his career and his best days are clearly behind him.

Marshawn Lynch landed with Seattle last season and seemingly resurrected his career. In 12 games with the Seahawks, Lynch had 165 carries for 573 yards and six touchdowns and 21 catches for 138 yards with three fumbles. In the playoffs, Lynch had 23 carries for 133 yards and one touchdown run, but the majority of that production came in the first round against New Orleans (131 yards) when he had an incredible play on a 67-yard touchdown run. Lynch has plenty of potential as the starter for the Seahawks -- we know it because we've seen it from him -- and so we consider him a No. 3 Fantasy RB with upside (he's fine as a flex starter). He will share carries with Justin Forsett, but Lynch has the ability to gain 1,300 total yards and nine touchdowns, which is something he did in 2008 with Buffalo. It helps that Lynch is in a contract year, and he should run well again this year. Plan on drafting him with a mid-round pick.

Laurence Maroney is a free agent this offseason and the former first-round draft pick will look to sign with a new team in hopes of resurrecting his career. Maroney was traded from New England to Denver during the 2010 season, and he failed to make an impact with the Broncos. It's unlikely Denver or New England will look to use Maroney again, and no matter where he signs, he will likely be a backup. Throw in a drug charge this offseason and it's tough to think he'll be a wanted man for a prominent spot in an offense. Keep an eye on his status this offseason, but Maroney is not worth drafting in the majority of leagues.

Willis McGahee continued his role as the secondary back for the Ravens last year and a pain in the neck for Fantasy owners. With his role far from consistent, McGahee averaged just under seven carries per game but still found a way to score six touchdowns (five rushing) and gain 380 yards on 100 rushes and 55 yards on 14 catches. McGahee's contract got too expensive for a backup in Baltimore, and he ended up in Denver this season where he won't take a ton of work away from Knowshon Moreno (so long as Moreno is healthy), but he should hinder the young runner's TD numbers. The former University of Miami star had 12 scores in 2009, and he continues to display a nose for the end zone. McGahee will compliment Moreno well, and he serves as a solid handcuff option for him in Fantasy play. Consider selecting the veteran with a middle to late-round pick on Draft Day.

Ryan Mathews was a disappointing rookie in 2010, but he has a chance to be a sophomore surprise in 2011 if he can stay healthy. Mathews dealt with an ankle injury for the majority of his rookie year and when he was healthy he had to share carries with Mike Tolbert, who earned playing time while Mathews was out. We still expect Tolbert to play a prominent role this year, but Mathews should get the majority of touches (Darren Sproles might not come back). He proved his ability in the season finale last year at Denver with 26 carries for 120 yards and three touchdowns. For the season he had more than 800 total yards and seven touchdowns in 12 games. Mathews should prove to be a complete running back and we like him as a solid No. 2 option in all leagues. Plan on drafting Mathews beginning in Round 3.

Joe McKnight is hoping to make up for a disappointing rookie campaign with an increased role in 2011. McKnight's Fantasy value is likely tied to what the Jets do with LaDainian Tomlinson or what role rookie Bilal Powell plays. If Tomlinson returns then McKnight would be the No. 3 running back behind Shonn Greene and Tomlinson. But if Tomlinson is not back then McKnight could be the backup rusher and third-down running back while sharing time with Powell. If that happens then McKnight is worth drafting with a late-round pick in all leagues. But if Tomlinson returns in 2011 then McKnight should not be drafted in most leagues since his touches will be limited.

He sat out the season finale to rest for the playoffs, but McCoy proved he has 2,000-total yard potential with double digits in touchdowns. We expect him to improve in his third season, and he should be considered a No. 1 Fantasy RB worth a pick as early as sixth overall in standard leagues (maybe fifth overall in PPR formats). If you're looking for a handcuff option for McCoy plan on taking Ronnie Brown with a late-round pick.

For the first time in Darren McFadden's three-year career, he finally outperformed expectations with a breakout performance in 2010. Now, Fantasy owners want to know if he can be trusted to do it again. Last year, McFadden started a career-high 13 games and had a career-high in carries (223), rushing yards (1,157), rushing touchdowns (seven), catches (47), receiving yards (507) and receiving touchdowns (three). McFadden had only three games in 2010 where he didn't have 100 total yards or a touchdown, a huge improvement from his injury-plagued rookie and sophomore seasons. The only downside was that McFadden missed three games due to injury (two for a hamstring and one for a toe), but that's part of the deal in drafting him -- he's expected to miss a game or two with an injury. Still, based on the way he played last year and what's in store for the Oakland offense under new head coach and play caller Hue Jackson this year, you have to expect McFadden to play well again. We consider him a first-round pick, but there's a chance people in your league don't think that. If he falls to Round 2, consider it a steal.

Knowshon Moreno enters his third season for the Broncos looking for a big season. He could have the chance to shine under new coach John Fox, who should bring with him the same run-heavy offense he ran in Carolina. The problem for Moreno is that it's likely he will share carries since Fox believes in a two-back system. But, barring something unforeseen, Moreno should be the No. 1 option in the backfield. And that makes him a quality No. 2 Fantasy running back worth drafting toward the beginning of Round 3 in all leagues. Moreno struggled at times in 2010 and saw his stats decline overall from his rookie year. But he still managed more than 1,000 total yards and eight touchdowns thanks to a nice second-half surge, and he has the potential to be a quality receiver out of the backfield. Depending on who the Broncos bring in or decide to use to share carries with Moreno will ultimately determine his value, but we still expect him to be heavily involved and produce at a high level.

What's more dangerous than one of the league's most exciting, consistent and stat-producing running backs? How about an exciting, consistent, statproducing running back in a contract year? Indeed, Adrian Peterson is due a new deal after the 2011 season, and while he's deserved a new contract for some time now, this year he'll have fresh motivation to play well. After all, a big season will cement his status as the best running back in the game and thus he can command to be paid as such. Peterson is flawless as a running back. He's averaged nearly 110 yards per game over his last two seasons and has missed just one game in three years. He has 54 touchdowns in 61 career games and overcame a fumbling issue in 2010 when he coughed up the ball just once. All that said, there's concern that his O-line is not as good as it once was and obviously the quarterback situation in Minnesota leaves a lot to be desired. Nonetheless, only a fool would tell you to pass on AP in drafts. He's as reliable a pick as you can find in 2011, well worth a first-round selection between first and third overall in all formats.

Lions running back Maurice Morris showed some life last season, and he'll get the chance to do it again this season. After the season-ending injury to Mikel Leshoure in early August, speculation started that Morris would resume his role as a part-time back with Jahvid Best. Doing that in the second half of the Lions' offense last season he racked up 79 carries for 326 yards and five touchdowns with 18 catches for 116 yards. Morris could actually cash in with a solid season as he's in a contract year. He's got good versatility and just enough elusiveness to make some plays, especially in favorable matchups.

The Cowboys selected Oklahoma RB DeMarco Murray in the third round of the NFL draft. Murray had two 1,000-yard rushing seasons at Oklahoma and finished with 3,685 yards and 50 touchdowns. The speedy runner also had 157 career catches for 1,571 yards and 11 TDs. Murray will more than likely replace Marion Barber in the Dallas run game as their skills are almost exactly the same. That includes durability as Murray dealt with injuries in college and isn't a lock for 16 games. Murray also will join a crowded backfield that includes Felix Jones and Tashard Choice, so he's far from seeing consistent minutes on a regular basis. Murray is definitely worth a late-round pick in seasonal leagues and is a good handcuff to Jones.

The deep sleeper we had some hopes for in 2009 got to fulfill some of that potential in 2010. Now we'll see if he can kick it up a notch in 2011. Redman did a good job with the limited reps he had in the regular season, totaling 247 rush yards on 52 carries and 72 yards and two touchdowns on nine receptions. This summer he'll look to expand his role in Pittsburgh behind starter Rashard Mendenhall. One reason why Redman is a sleeper to target late in drafts is because Mendenhall took on a lot of work in 2010, all the way to the Super Bowl, and the track record of running backs that work that much is not good the following year. If anything were to happen to Mendenhall, Redman would be in line to pick up some pretty big reps.

Jerious Norwood tore his ACL in Week 2 of last season, putting his career into a freefall. The once-prominent third-down back in Atlanta is now going to try to revive his career with a one-year contract with the Rams. Norwood has missed 20 games over the last two seasons, so Fantasy owners should pass on Norwood until he regains some relevant playing time again. Although, that might be tough since the Rams' workhorse is running back Steven Jackson.

Marcel Reece is a free agent this offseason, and he will look to add RB depth and play on special teams wherever he signs. If he returns to the Raiders, his value for 2011 will depend on what happens with Michael Bush. If Bush leaves Oakland as a free agent then Reece could be the No. 2 RB behind starter Darren McFadden. Since McFadden is injury prone, Reece would be worth a late-round pick on Draft Day, especially in deeper leagues. But if Bush returns to Oakland and Reece is the No. 3 RB then he would not be worth drafting in most formats. Reece only has relevant Fantasy value if he's No. 2 on the depth chart in Oakland. And if he signs elsewhere then his value will be determined where he plays.

The Redskins drafted rookie RB Evan Royster in the sixth round of the NFL Draft out of Penn State. Royster left the Nittany Lions as their all-time leading rusher with 3,932 yards and 29 touchdowns. Coach Mike Shanahan said Royster reminds him of a young Terrell Davis. With only Ryan Torain, Keiland Williams and fellow rookie Roy Helu on the Redskins' roster, there's room for Royster to nail down a role. Helu is the better sleeper for Fantasy, but if injuries befall one of the backs in front of Royster then he'll get involved pretty quickly. Ultimately Royster might end up working in the short yardage/goal line role, which would give him some Fantasy value, but until that's clear and until he shows some improvement (which is fairly likely given Shanahan's track record with RBs), he's only worth drafting late in the deepest of dynasty/keeper leagues and with a middle- to late-round pick in rookie-only drafts.

No one flinched at drafting Ray Rice with an early first-round pick last summer and chances are no one will flinch at taking him with a first-round pick this summer. For the second year in a row Rice totaled a huge amount of yardage (1,776) thanks in part to more than 50 carries than he had in 2009 (his receptions dipped by 16). But his touchdowns were sparse as he had five rushing and one receiving, losing six touchdowns to teammate Willis McGahee. The "McGahee issue" is over as he signed with Denver after getting cut in July, and the Ravens added fullback Vonta Leach, who popped open holes for Arian Foster for much of 2010. Both of those moves will only enhance Rice's game. The Ravens signed Ricky Williams this offseason but offensive coordinator Cam Cameron said in mid-August that Rice has earned the goal-line job for the Ravens to start the season. There's potential for a huge season here, especially since Rice will be in a contract year motivated for a big pay day, and he'll have a very friendly schedule (save for two games against the Steelers and one against the Jets). There's reason to believe Rice will deliver big in 2011 and the opportunity to draft him early in the first round should be appealing to owners.

Hopes remain high for Bernard Scott to see more work and develop into a weapon for Fantasy owners, but it didn't happen in 2010. Seeing only limited work with Cedric Benson landing well over 300 carries, Scott had just 299 yards on 61 carries with one touchdown, with most of the numbers coming in his last three games. Scott's future is unknown since the Bengals' run game is up in the air, but save for the team opening the season with him in a defined role, he's not going to be a draft-worthy rusher. More than likely Scott will have to see a teammate miss playing time before getting on the field.

Kevin Smith is expected to test free agency this offseason after a poor 2010 that saw him fail to score. Smith came back from a major knee injury last year and didn't look too bad, especially as a receiver out of the backfield. We could see him ending up as a third-down back somewhere (he's averaging 9.1 yards per catch over 91 career receptions) and being of use in deeper PPR formats.

The Patriots drafted RB Stevan Ridley of LSU in the third round of the NFL Draft. The 6-foot, 225-pound Ridley started only nine of his 39 games at LSU but had at least one touchdown in 10 of 13 games last season. As a junior in 2010, he ran for 1,147 yards and 15 touchdowns as the Tigers' primary ball carrier. For his career, he carried the ball just 306 times but gained 1,419 yards for 19 touchdowns. While Ridley could emerge as quality RB for the Patriots, they are now loaded in the backfield with BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Danny Woodhead and fellow rookie Shane Vereen, who was drafted in Round 2. There's a chance no single back in New England will be worth starting on a weekly basis in Fantasy leagues, which is too bad considering the offense. Ridley is worth a late-round pick in seasonal drafts, especially touchdown-only leagues since he could steal playing time from Green-Ellis. He's also worthy of a late-round pick in dynasty/keeper leagues and an early- to middle-round pick in rookie-only drafts.

Jason Snelling's 2010 stats weren't good compared to his '09 campaign, but that had to do with Michael Turner staying healthy more than anything else. Snelling, who totaled five touchdowns and over 600 yards last year, served as a change-of-pace and third-down option for Atlanta last year, and really did a nice job as a receiver out of the backfield (44 catches last year, 74 over his last two seasons). Since he decided to stay in Atlanta, Snelling is again a mustdraft late option for those owners who take Turner with a first-round pick, but that's about it.

C.J. Spiller was a bust as a rookie in 2010, and he's hoping to perform at a higher level in 2011 in his sophomore campaign. Many questioned the Bills for drafting Spiller with the ninth pick in the 2010 NFL draft, and he struggled to find playing time, much less find success with 74 carries for 283 yards and 24 catches for 157 yards and a touchdown with three fumbles. He did excel on special teams with 44 kickoff returns for 1,014 yards and a touchdown, but many Fantasy owners were expecting more on offense. Hopefully he can deliver this year, and he's expected to again share carries with Fred Jackson, who is the projected starter. We still envision Spiller playing a significant role, and he has the potential to be a No. 3 Fantasy running back, especially in leagues where receptions count. Draft Spiller with a middle- to late-round pick as a No. 4 running back, and hopefully a full offseason and lower expectations lead to better results in his second year in the league.

LaRod Stephens-Howling is a reserve RB for the Cardinals and might pick up some more work in 2011. That's because the Cardinals jettisoned Tim Hightower this offseason, opening the door for a third rusher to help the Cardinals run game of Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams. 'LSH' did play well in 2010 with 113 rushing yards and one touchdown and 16 catches for 111 yards. Of course, Stephens-Howling did a lot of work on special teams, and last year he had 57 kickoff returns for 1,548 yards and two touchdowns. That should continue, making him a solid late-round pick in leagues that reward specialteams yardage. In standard formats, however, Stephens-Howling should be ignored in all leagues on Draft Day.

He also finally succumbed to injury and missed two games despite being on the injury report quite often over most of his three-year career with lower-body problems.

James Starks is as risky of a pick as they come. We had our eyes on him long before he took the field for the Packers in Week 11 but never thought he'd be a stellar Fantasy option. But he ultimately wound up giving Green Bay a semblance of a running game after Ryan Grant went down in Week 1 and has won over his coaches. Here's the thing: Starks was pretty inconsistent, never showed a good set of hands and scored once over 110 carries in eight games. We're not entirely sold on Starks turning into a sensation this season, and perhaps the Packers weren't either as they drafted Alex Green with a thirdround pick. To draft Starks, you'll likely have to use a pick between Rounds 8 and 9, which means a quality pick will be needed to draft a player who might see limited reps. We wouldn't blame you for passing on him, but if you do take him, slot him as a No. 3 Fantasy RB and hope he can steal carries away from Grant and hold off Green.

Ben Tate will try to deliver on the expectations everyone had for him last summer before he suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the preseason. Problem is, he's gone from potentially starting for the Texans to playing behind Arian Foster, who exploded in 2010 while Tate rehabbed. The feeling here is that Tate will end up getting some work on a weekly basis, but not enough to make him worth starting. Besides, the Texans have no reason to take Foster off the field other than to give him some rest. The idea that Tate will split reps 50-50 with Foster is laughable until either head coach Gary Kubiak hints at it or until Foster struggles. Your best bet is to draft Tate late: Look for him around Round 10 if you drafted Foster early, or wait until Round 11 or 12 if you're just looking to put some potential on your bench. If you're someone who believes Foster will struggle in 2011, Tate's a guy you should reach for.

The Bears paid Chester Taylor to provide a secondary rushing presence behind starter Matt Forte and potentially split reps with him. What the Bears got was one of the biggest underperforming running backs in NFL history, and now he might be history in town. Of running backs who had at least 100 carries in a season, Taylor set a record for futility with his 2.4 yards per carry. About the only saving grace for Taylor in 2010 was that he ended the year as a touchdown vulture and took in four scores over his final seven games, including the postseason. That role might go to Marion Barber in 2011 as the Bears signed him in 2011. Taylor's not worth drafting in Fantasy.

Kansas State running back Daniel Thomas is such a versatile and promising player that the Dolphins gave up three draft picks to land him with a late second-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. Miami was in need of help at running back because Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams were both free agents this offseason. The 6-foot, 230-pound Thomas led the Big 12 Conference in rushing the past two years. He totaled 2,850 yards and 30 touchdowns rushing at Kansas State, and he also made 52 receptions. Thomas has the chance to be the best running back of this draft class based on his opportunity. The Dolphins could still add another veteran free agent, but with the investment the Dolphins made in Thomas he will likely start. We consider him a low-end No. 2/high-end No. 3 Fantasy option heading into the year, and he's worth drafting as early as Round 6 in standard leagues. In keeper/dynasty formats, plan on drafting Thomas in Round 4 or 5, and he's a first-round pick in rookie-only leagues.

We haven't seen the best from Pierre Thomas since his breakout 2008, and chances are we won't anytime soon. After the Saints signed Thomas to a teamfriendly contract extension this offseason, they drafted Mark Ingram with a firstround pick via a trade. Now the expectation is that Ingram will move in on Thomas' carries and serve as a 15-touch candidate with goal-line work. That's bad news for Thomas, who owned the goal-line gig previously and was a very productive Fantasy rusher when he was healthy. Thomas still has skills and hopefully is over a nagging ankle injury that took him off the field for much of last season, but Fantasy owners have no reason to fawn over Thomas given than Ingram is in town and the two will split reps, likely leaving Thomas with less touches.

Ryan Torain enters this season as the potential starting RB for the Redskins, but he will have plenty of competition from rookies Roy Helu and Evan Royster. Along with Keiland Williams, Torain will now have to share carries, which lowers his value coming into the year. Torain followed coach Mike Shanahan from Denver to Washington, and he proved to be a quality weapon for the Redskins and Fantasy owners in 2010 with more than 850 total yards and six touchdowns in just eight starts. Torain, who battled hamstring injuries during the year, had six games with double digits in Fantasy points. He has the potential to be a No. 2 Fantasy RB this year if he can stay healthy and get the majority of touches, which doesn't appear to be the case.

Mike Tolbert had a breakout year in 2010 and will look to build on it in 2011. But he has a slight problem -- he'll split reps with a healthy Ryan Mathews. Last year, Tolbert became a Fantasy star with Mathews dealing with an ankle injury. Tolbert had 735 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns and 25 catches for 216 yards, including a five-game scoring streak in the middle of the year. But Tolbert got a glimpse of the future when Mathews scored three times in Week 17 while he was on injured reserve with a neck/shoulder issue. We see Tolbert being more of a change-of-pace rusher and short-yardage back, though it was stated by coach Norv Turner that he would use him in tandem with Mathews this season. Expect a healthy amount of touchdowns but not a lot else unless Mathews disappoints or gets hurt again. Consider Tolbert a No. 3 Fantasy running back worth drafting with a mid-round pick.

For the second time in three seasons, Michael Turner logged more than 330 carries in 2010 while posting double-digit touchdowns for the third straight year. His yardage might have leveled off a smidge, but he still got the job done with more than 1,300 yards at a 4.1 per carry clip. But it's those carries that Fantasy owners are a little jittery over. The last time Turner had more than 330 carries in a season he fell apart the following year. The schedule gets a bit tougher for Turner in 2011, and he is coming off of offseason groin surgery, but the reality is that so long as he's healthy he's a weekly candidate to score and get close to 100 yards behind one of the better offensive lines in football. Everyone should want someone like that on their Fantasy team. Turner's a solid No. 1 Fantasy running back worth a pick between No. 5 and No. 10 overall in standard formats (a bit later in PPR leagues).

LaDainian Tomlinson's status for 2011 is up in the air since he would like to return to the Jets, but New York might decide to go in a different direction, especially after drafting rookie Bilal Powell in Round 4 of the NFL Draft. In 2010, Tomlinson played his first year with the Jets and started off strong before falling off. He finished the season with 219 carries for 914 yards and six touchdowns, which led the team, and 52 catches for 368 yards. But he slowed down tremendously as the year went on, which should have been expected from a 31-year-old running back in his 10th season. Tomlinson had six games with double digits in Fantasy points and 10 games with at least eight points, but only one of those happened after Week 11. If he returns to the Jets as expected he will see a reduction in carries with Shonn Greene moving into the primary role, and he could also lose some touches to Joe McKnight and
The Patriots drafted RB Shane Vereen of Cal in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft. At 5-foot-10 and 205 pounds, Vereen lacks the size typical of backs who play every down. As a junior last year, he rushed for 1,167 yards and 13 touchdowns on 231 carries, averaging 5.1 yards per run. Vereen may emerge as an eventual replacement for veteran third-down back Kevin Faulk, who spent most of last season on injured reserve, and could compete with Danny Woodhead for playing time. While Vereen could emerge as quality RB for the Patriots, they are now loaded in the backfield with BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Woodhead and fellow rookie Stevan Ridley, who was drafted in Round 3. There's a chance no single back in New England will be worth starting on a weekly basis in Fantasy leagues, which is too bad considering the offense.

Williams saw his worst numbers over a 16-game season in 2010 thanks in big part to LeGarrette Blount taking touches away from him. However, Williams does have good versatility and has overcome serious knee injuries (he hasn't missed a game in two seasons).

Beanie Wells is hoping to prove that a sophomore slump in 2010 will end when this season starts. Wells was terrible last year, and he struggled with injuries and inconsistent play. He finished the year just 397 rushing yards on a dismal 3.4 yards per carry with two touchdowns and five catches for 74 yards. He had nearly 400 fewer rushing yards than his rookie season when he looked poised for being a quality Fantasy option. This year, if healthy, Wells should rebound -slightly. He now has company with rookie Ryan Williams (but not Tim Hightower, who was traded) and LaRod Stephens-Howling. Unless injuries befall the Cards' other backs, Wells has a low ceiling for productivity and might be reduced to a limited role -- if he stays healthy.

Over the final six games, Westbrook had three games with double digits in Fantasy points and scored five touchdowns. He isn't worth drafting in the majority of leagues since he's 31 and isn't the same RB he was in his heyday with the Eagles, but in the right situation he could be a handcuff option. Keep an eye on what happens with Westbrook this offseason, and he might be worth a late-round flier in deep formats.

Ricky Williams' eight-year run with the Dolphins ended when he signed with Baltimore as a free agent in early August. Williams' last three seasons in Miami were pretty good, especially a 2009 campaign that included seven starts and yielded 11 touchdowns. If his role with the Ravens is to spell Ray Rice and provide a physical interior rush to help the Baltimore offense along, he should rack up close to 150 touches over the course of the season. Not only is he worth drafting with a late-round pick, but those owners who value Rice with a first-round choice should consider him with a middle- to late-round pick just to lock up the Ravens backfield.

In a surprise, the Cardinals drafted Virginia Tech RB Ryan Williams with a second-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. The Cardinals already have Beanie Wells and Tim Hightower on their roster, but Wells has never blossomed and has been prone to injury, while the hard-running Hightower was plagued by fumbles last season. Williams was a very productive back for the Hokies, rushing for 1,655 yards (5.6 avg.) and 21 touchdowns as a freshman in 2009 but was limited by a hamstring injury last season, finishing with 477 yards and nine touchdowns. Still, he averaged 4.3 yards per carry. Williams might be injury prone like Wells but he will give the Cardinals a powerful rushing presence. He's like a combination of Wells and Hightower rolled into one, though it remains to be seen just how good of a receiver he is. Until we see how his role unfolds with Arizona, Fantasy owners should consider Williams with a late-round pick in seasonal formats, a middle- to late-round pick in dynasty/keeper leagues and a first-round pick in rookie-only drafts.

Anthony Armstrong finally got a chance to contribute in his third season in 2010, and he posted quality stats with 44 catches for 871 yards and three touchdowns. He will look to build off those numbers this year when he will likely be a starter.

Danny Woodhead is looking forward to playing a full season in New England based on how he did in 2010. But Woodhead now faces tough competition from rookie Shane Vereen, who the Patriots drafted in Round 2, and the two will vie for time as the third-down RB. Woodhead did well in that position last year after New England added him from the Jets in Week 3. Woodhead finished the season with 97 carries for 547 yards and five touchdowns and 34 catches for 379 yards and a touchdown with one fumble. He filled in for the injured Kevin Faulk (knee), but New England loaded up at RB with the addition of Vereen and fellow rookie Stevan Ridley, who was drafted in Round 3. We still see Woodhead playing a prominent role behind starter BenJarvus GreenEllis, but he should be considered a No. 4 Fantasy RB on Draft Day. The Patriots love players like Woodhead, but he should only be drafted with a lateround pick in standard leagues. His value is higher in leagues where receptions count, and we hope that the addition of Vereen won't completely ruin his production compared to what we saw last season.

Miles Austin is hoping to be more productive this season than he was in 2010. He finished last year with quality stats -- 69 catches for 1,041 yards and seven touchdowns and 93 rushing yards and a score -- but he only had eight games with double digits in Fantasy points. Now, part of the problem was losing quarterback Tony Romo after six games. Prior to Romo getting hurt, Austin had three 100-yard games and two touchdowns, which should be a good sign for this year with Romo back at 100 percent. But Austin also had to share targets with Dez Bryant and Jason Witten, and those two aren't going away. Still, based on what Austin has done the past two years, we expect him to play at a high level. He should be considered a good No. 2 Fantasy wide receiver in all leagues worth drafting as early as Round 4 in all formats.

Wide Receivers
Danario Alexander, STL Bye: 5
Danario Alexander has the potential for a big season this year and should be considered a sleeper in deeper leagues. In 2010, Alexander had three solid games for the Rams in Week 6 against San Diego (four catches for 72 yards and a touchdown), Week 12 at Denver (four catches for 95 yards) and Week 16 against San Francisco (six catches for 99 yards). Alexander is a big target at 6-foot-5, can run well and has good hands, but he has to stay healthy -- he has been dealing with major knee problems since college. He only played in eight games in 2010 but might be a nice weapon in Josh McDaniels' new offense. We recommend owners in deep dynasty/keeper leagues taking a flier on Alexander, especially if he has a good training camp.

The Chiefs spent their first-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft on Pitt WR Jonathan Baldwin, a rangy 6-foot-4, 230 pounder. Baldwin started 27 games for Pittsburgh the past three seasons, at both flanker and split end, and totaled 128 catches for 2,337 yards and 16 touchdowns. The Chiefs hope he will pair nicely with Dwayne Bowe, who had 1,162 yards receiving last year and went to his first Pro Bowl, and give them a pass-catching tandem to be feared. Baldwin needs some work adjusting to the next level after leaving college earlier than desired. Expectations are small for Baldwin in 2011, so keep him limited to a late-round pick in dynasty/keeper leagues and a second- or third-round pick in rookie-only drafts.

Arrelious Benn, TB
Bye: 8
Bye: 5
Danny Amendola showed off his potential in 2010, and he's ready to pick up where last season ended in a potential contract year. Last year, Amendola had 85 catches for 689 yards and three touchdowns. He also added 81 rushing yards, and he should be the slot receiver for the Rams this year. Amendola already has a solid rapport with QB Sam Bradford, and new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels should like using Amendola in a variety of ways -potentially in the Wes Welker role that he couldn't quite get Eddie Royal to learn in Denver. In standard leagues, Amendola is worth drafting with a lateround pick as a No. 4 Fantasy WR, but he should be considered a No. 3 option
Arrelious Benn was on his way to breaking out late last season when he tore a ligament in his knee in Week 16. But he's attempting to pull a "Wes Welker" and be ready for the start of the season. He was cleared for practice by team doctors in late July and should be ready to roll. Benn finished his rookie season with just 395 yards but picked up 172 of them in his last three games, including the one where he got hurt. Expectations are that he'll compete for a starting job and potentially have lots of playing time. Assuming the big second-year standout proves his knee is fine, he can receive consideration in Fantasy drafts as a late-round pick.

There was a point in 2010 where Earl Bennett looked like the Bears' best receiver (26 catches for 377 yards and three touchdowns over seven games), but he tailed off by the end of the season, ending with 561 yards on 46 grabs. The yardage was second best on the team during the regular season and he also contributed with a touchdown in the playoffs. There's mild optimism that with one year under his belt in Mike Martz's offense and two years of actual playing time on his odometer that his fourth year will be his best yet (he didn't make a catch his rookie season). Then again, he was pushed down the depth chart when Roy Williams came aboard. If you're looking for a deep sleeper, particularly in PPR formats, Bennett is worth the late-round flier.

Davone Bess was another wide receiver that had a breakout year in his third season in the NFL. Bess finished last season with 79 catches for 820 yards and five touchdowns on 125 targets. Bess has improved his catches, yards and touchdowns each season, and he's hoping that trend continues this year. He has proven to be one of the best slot receivers in the NFL. He is worth drafting as a No. 4 Fantasy wide receiver in standard leagues and a No. 3 option in point-per-reception formats. He's a great under-the-radar receiver to target in the late rounds.

Deion Branch showed that his reunion with the Patriots in 2010 was good for his Fantasy value. Branch joined the Patriots in a trade from Seattle in Week 5, and in 11 games he finished with four games with double digits in Fantasy points and six with at least seven points. For the season, Branch had 61 catches for 818 yards and six touchdowns, but he had 48 catches for 706 yards and five touchdowns with New England. Branch, who will be the No. 2 wide receiver this year opposite Wes Welker, has good rapport with quarterback Tom Brady. We consider Branch a low-end No. 2/high-end No. 3 Fantasy wide receiver worth drafting around Round 7 or Round 8 in all leagues. The motivation of a new contract should help Branch have another solid campaign in 2011.

Bye: 5
Anquan Boldin came to Baltimore with lofty expectations, but instead he played decoy more often than star receiver, opening the door for other Ravens players to have good games while he was bottled up. Boldin barely eked out a better season than teammate Derrick Mason, catching 64 passes for 837 yards and seven touchdowns. But save for a massive three-touchdown game against the Browns in Week 3, Boldin only topped 10 Fantasy points five times. That means in 10 games Boldin was a disappointment, especially since Fantasy owners had him pegged as a top 15 receiver before the season. Boldin will have a year under his belt in offensive coordinator Cam Cameron's offense and should only become more comfortable in Baltimore. He also gets a new teammate in Lee Evans, which should help draw coverage. Consider him a low-end No. 2 Fantasy receiver with good skill and potential if the Ravens, and specifically quarterback Joe Flacco, can ramp up the offense this season.

Steve Breaston was expected to be on the move this season as the Cardinals appeared to move on from him, and he landed with former offensive coordinator Todd Haley in Kansas City. Breaston struggled last year in his first season as a starter in place of the departed Anquan Boldin, but he should get the chance to see time in the slot once again with Dwayne Bowe and Jonathan Baldwin on the outside in all likelihood. A knee injury limited his play in 2010, and he finished with 47 catches for 718 yards and one touchdown. He posted better stats in each of the previous two seasons, and that was as the No. 3 option. Even while adjusting to the not-so-new scheme with the Chiefs, Breaston is worth a late-round pick in deeper leagues only. And if he goes undrafted then he is someone to scout because he could be a bye-week or injury replacement.

Dwayne Bowe, KC

Dwayne Bowe finally had the type of season in 2010 that every Fantasy owner has been waiting for since he entered the NFL in 2007. Bowe had 72 catches for 1,162 yards and 15 touchdowns on 132 targets and was the No. 2 Fantasy wide receiver in standard leagues behind Denver's Brandon Lloyd with 200 points. Bowe nearly doubled his career touchdowns since he entered 2010 with 16 scores. Now, we all want to know if Bowe can do it again. While he does still have some flaws -- losing Charlie Weis as offensive coordinator and an unproven starter opposite him in rookie Jonathan Baldwin -- he still possesses an impressive skill set that helped him succeed last year. Even better, he has the motivation of a potential contract year, and that should keep Bowe playing at a high level. We consider Bowe a No. 1 Fantasy wide receiver in all leagues.
Kenny Britt was well on his way to being one of the top Fantasy stat producers last year when a serious hamstring injury sidelined him for five games. But when he came back, he was solid again, and now there's more confidence than ever that Britt can be one of the game's best thanks to his huge frame and solid speed. If he can stay healthy and out of trouble this offseason (a careless driving fine in June shouldn't result in a suspension), the Titans should have a wideout with more big games in him. After scoring in five straight in 2010 (including a three-TD game against the Eagles) and ending the year with backto-back 80-plus-yard, one-TD efforts, there's no doubt Britt is worth drafting as a middle-of-the-pack No. 2 Fantasy WR with obvious upside. If he's there past Round 5 then he's a bona fide steal. The one concern with Britt is the lack of a quality quarterback entering the season, but hopefully the Titans will address that area of need with a proven passer, which would only make Britt that much better.

He caught 16 balls in nine games for 167 yards and added only 90 yards on five grabs in the postseason.

Plaxico Burress was released from prison in early June and will continue his career with the Jets after signing a one-year deal with them in late July. With Gang Green, Burress will battle for a starting job and be utilized for his speed and size, potentially in the red zone. But chances are he will not regain his role as a No. 1 receiver like he was in his prime with the Steelers and Giants. We suspect he'll be a popular draft pick starting in the middle rounds, but he might underperform based on the expectations there. If you're landing Plax in Round 9 or 10 you're doing well.

The Chargers drafted rookie WR Vincent Brown in the third round of the NFL Draft out of San Diego State. The local product will compete for playing time behind Vincent Jackson, Malcom Floyd and Patrick Crayton, but he will struggle to make plays this season. He's a good possession-type receiver who likely needs a year or two to improve his game before racking up some stats. We think he's going to be a pretty decent possession receiver once he gets some playing time. Grab him with a middle- to late-round pick in dynasty/keeper leagues and a mid-round choice in rookie-only drafts.

Dez Bryant is expected to pick up where he left off last season prior to him breaking his leg. Bryant, who missed the final four games of his rookie year with the injury, had 45 catches for 561 yards and six touchdowns, but the majority of his production came in Weeks 7-11 -- without Tony Romo under center. Bryant was limited earlier in the season with a variety of leg injuries, but we'll finally get to see how he plays with Romo when both are healthy. We're counting on a big season and Bryant should be considered a No. 2 Fantasy wide receiver. Plan on drafting Bryant as early as Round 4 or 5 as Romo should enjoy throwing his way.

Mark Clayton is a free agent this offseason, but he is expected to return to the Rams. Keep an eye on his status because if he does come back to St. Louis then he could be the No. 1 option in the passing game. Clayton was off to a tremendous start in 2010 with 22 catches for 300 yards and two touchdowns in his first four games before a knee injury in Week 5 ended his season. As long as he's healthy, he could benefit greatly playing in new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels' offense, and it's clear Clayton and QB Sam Bradford had an instant rapport last year. Clayton is worth drafting with a late-round pick in all leagues as a No. 4 option if he returns to the Rams. And if he signs elsewhere then his value will be determined by his role and who is throwing him the ball.

Nate Burleson's first season with the Lions was just about what was expected: He didn't bowl anyone over with stats but did provide a good secondary option to Calvin Johnson. Burleson should continue to produce at a modest pace in 2011 but not reach his career-best numbers (1,006 yards, nine touchdowns). He had elbow surgery this offseason but it's not expected to hold him back. Your best bet is to draft Burleson late in PPR leagues and not draft him at all in standard formats.

Randall Cobb, GB
Bye: 8
The Packers added to their offense in the second round of the NFL draft, taking Kentucky wide receiver Randall Cobb. The 5-foot-10, 192-pound Cobb could help the Packers' pass-heavy offense and potentially shore up what has been an inconsistent return game. He broke the UK all-time record for total touchdowns (37) and ranks fourth in career all-purpose yardage (4,674), fourth in career scoring (226 points), fifth in career pass receptions (144) and sixth in career receiving yardage (1,661). Cobb's a solid pick for the Packers, and we believe he'll play on special teams this year and eventually sink into a regular offensive role. That might take a year or two, however, so we can't recommend him in standard seasonal leagues. But he's a nice long-term pick and is worth a middle- to late-round choice in dynasty/keeper leagues and a mid-round pick in rookie-only drafts.

A foot injury coupled with thumb surgery and multiple concussions overshadowed Austin Collie's Fantasy-leading hot start in 2010. Collie was healthy for the first six weeks of the season and produced an eye-popping 44 catches for 503 yards and six touchdowns. But then he had the thumb issue and was pulverized in his first game back a few weeks later. There were then two games where Collie returned, only to be forced out following a hit to the head. In total, Collie picked up 58 grabs for 649 yards (11.2 yards per catch) and eight touchdowns, nearly matching or eclipsing most of his rookie totals. Here's the deal: Collie is a tremendous part of the Colts' offense and 2010 was simply more proof that Peyton Manning loves throwing his way. But concerns over his head might limit his playing time, and if he continues to suffer concussions, there's a good chance his career will be short-lived. We like Collie to return to health this season since he was cleared by the Colts' medical staff, and he is worth drafting as early as Round 5 or 6 depending on your league's scoring rules. Keep in mind there's a good amount of risk in making him a part of your Fantasy team, but as he showed last year when he's on his game it's hard to slow him down.

Donald Driver limped to the finish line last season with the Packers, though for him it was worth it because he won a Super Bowl ring. But Fantasy owners who drafted him won only a wideout who tallied his first sub-1,000-yard season in seven years and delivered just four touchdowns. Driver suffered a high-ankle sprain during Super Bowl XLV, and toward the end of last season it looked like he had been overtaken for the No. 2 receiving role by both James Jones and Jordy Nelson. Driver will be 36 this season and played like it for much of last year. If you're looking for a reserve receiver, Driver is fine as a No. 4 option. Otherwise, don't expect the 1,000 yards of offense we got from him prior to 2010 that might wind up going to Jones or Nelson.

The good news is that Marques Colston is entering a contract year and has a pretty good track record of playing well so long as he's healthy. The bad news is that Colston had knee and wrist surgery this offseason, which also serves as an unsettling trend for him. But the bottom line is that Colston has found ways to play despite offseason operations and caught at least 70 passes for 1,000 yards and seven touchdowns in four of his five NFL seasons. It's hard to overlook that. With the promise of a big pay day looming, Colston should have plenty of motivation to put up big stats in 2011. As the primary big-play receiver in the Saints' dynamic passing offense, that shouldn't be a problem. At worst consider him a quality No. 2 Fantasy wide receiver worth a pick between Round 4 and Round 6.

Braylon Edwards ended up in San Francisco after spending a few seasons with the Jets. Edwards is coming off his best year since his breakout season in 2007 with 53 catches for 904 yards and seven touchdowns, which led the Jets, and one fumble on 101 targets. Edwards has been consistent on a marginal level since leaving Cleveland and might have a shot to continue posting good (not great) stats in San Fran. His quarterback situation isn't any more rosy than it was in New York, but if he can get the hold of Jim Harbaugh's version of the West Coast then he should be a called-upon target. With the Niners thin on wide receivers that play well, Edwards should be viewed as a good reserve Fantasy option good enough to start in a pinch or as a No. 3 WR in a deep league.

Jerricho Cotchery continues to trend in the wrong direction. Since 2007, Cotchery has seen a decline in catches and yards, and last year was his worst season since 2005 when he finished with 41 catches for 433 yards and two touchdowns. A back injury was partially to blame, and he was ultimately sent packing from the Jets this offseason. He landed in Pittsburgh where he'll add depth to the team's receiving corps behind Mike Wallace and Hines Ward. We suspect that Cotchery is far from being in shape and might not be a contributor for the Steelers right away. Fantasy owners shouldn't spend a pick on him at this point, but he could be worth a look off waivers during the year.

Lee Evans was traded to the Ravens during training camp, and he is expected to start opposite Anquan Boldin as the No. 2 WR in Baltimore. Evans leaves Buffalo coming off a disappointing 2010. He wasn't able to finish 2010 after suffering an ankle injury that forced him to injured reserve for the final three games. He finished the season with 37 catches, 578 yards, four touchdowns and a fumble. It was the fewest catches and yards of his career, and his touchdown total was the second lowest of his career. The move to Baltimore should help Evans improve since he gets an upgrade at QB with Joe Flacco and in a better offense.

Michael Crabtree is entering his third season in the NFL, and hopefully he has the breakout year many are expecting. In 2010, Crabtree improved from his disappointing rookie year, but he didn't post outstanding stats with 55 catches for 741 yards and six touchdowns. At times Crabtree looked great with six games with double digits in Fantasy points. But at times he was nonexistent with 10 games with five points or less. The key for Crabtree will be who is throwing him the ball since it appears that Alex Smith might return as the starter, but if the 49ers can upgrade at QB then Crabtree's value will rise. Still,

Larry Fitzgerald is entering a contract year this season, but he said he hopes to remain in Arizona for the rest of his career. We'll see if he feels the same way if this year goes the same as 2010. When you look at Fitzgerald's stats from last year his first without retired QB Kurt Warner or long-time teammate Anquan Boldin they look positive with 90 catches for 1,137 yards and six touchdowns. It was his fourth year in a row with at least 90 catches, 1,000 yards and six touchdowns. But Fitzgerald didn't play like the dominant Fantasy WR most owners expected thanks to a lack of talent around him, namely at QB, and a knee injury that slowed him down at the start of the year. His knee is fine now, and his quarterback will be Kevin Kolb. That's good news, and Fantasy owners should be willing to trust Fitzgerald as an elite receiver once again. Draft him as a No. 1 Fantasy WR worth a pick as soon as the middle of Round 2.

But the rest of his stats were only nominal as he finished with 508 yards and those three touchdowns -- not bad for a sixth-round pick. Gettis was in the mix to start opposite Steve Smith, but he tore his ACL in camp, effectively ending his season. He should not be selected on Draft Day.

Jacoby Ford turned out to be a nice surprise for the Raiders and Fantasy owners as a rookie in 2010. He will look to build on that performance this season. Last year, the small but speedy receiver had 25 catches for 470 yards and two touchdowns with 10 carries for 155 yards and two touchdowns. He also had 53 kick returns for 1,280 yards and three touchdowns. He should enter this year as a starter and he is worth drafting with a late-round pick in the majority of leagues. Ford compares favorably to Philadelphia's DeSean Jackson as a small speedster, but he's got a long way to go to get to D-Jax's level or notoriety. If you're looking for a sleeper No. 4 receiver on Draft Day then plan on drafting Ford with a late-round pick.

The Bengals selected Georgia WR A.J. Green with the fourth overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, giving them a fresh face in their receiving corps. Green will likely get fast tracked to the starting lineup -- but who he will start with and who he will catch passes from remains to be seen. Green became one of Georgia's all-time best receivers in only three seasons, catching 166 passes for 2,542 yards and 23 touchdowns. He's 6 foot 4 and about 210 pounds with great speed and hands. He'll need to work on his moves off the snap and could struggle early on with press coverage, but the tools are there for him to be great. Questions about his quarterback will hold his value up for now, but at worst Green is a late-round pick in seasonal leagues, a middle-round pick in dynasty/keeper leagues and a Top-5 pick in rookie-only drafts.

Jabar Gaffney was traded from Denver to Washington in late July, and it's there where he'll attempt to keep his stats high. He is coming off a career year with 65 catches for 875 yards, but he scored just two touchdowns and hasn't had more than two scores in eight of his nine NFL seasons.

The Redskins chose WR Leonard Hankerson of Miami in the third round of the NFL Draft. As a senior he broke Michael Irvin's school record for touchdowns caught with 13, and he left Miami with 22 scores. He also was only the third Hurricanes receiver to tally over 1,000 yards in a single season. Hankerson wrapped up his career with 2,160 receiving yards on 134 receptions. We love the fit of Hankerson in Washington's offense -- they don't have a big-bodied target for their quarterbacks to throw to and he'll fit the bill. Hankerson has great size and lots of playmaking ability, so anything he can do to make his hands excellent and his speed steady will give him a shot at being a productive wideout. He's worth a late-round flier in seasonal and dynasty/keeper league drafts. He's also worth a pick between Rounds 3 and 4 in rookie-only drafts.

Entering his third season in 2011, Brian Hartline is hoping to take the next step in his career. Hartline played well as a rookie in 2009 before taking a step back last year, which ended on injured reserve after Week 13 due to a finger injury. Hartline only had one touchdown in 2010 and no games with double digits in Fantasy points. He will likely start opposite Brandon Marshall, but Hartline is actually the No. 3 wide receiver for the Dolphins behind Davone Bess. Hartline is not worth drafting in the majority of leagues, but he could be worth adding off the waiver wire if he finds a way to play well.

It took a little while, but Pierre Garcon eventually got hot in 2010 and posted career-best totals. Now the onus is on him to do it again in what will be a contract year. Garcon still didn't top 800 yards last year but did score six times and caught 67 passes on a weak 11.7 receiving average.

Percy Harvin is entering his third NFL season and expectations couldn't be higher. Fantasy owners have come to hang their hats on his numbers as he's averaged 65 catches, 829 receiving yards, 121 rushing yards and six total touchdowns over two seasons. The Vikings are creative with how they use Harvin and he's a threat every time he's on the field -- so long as a migraine isn't sidelining him. Harvin says the headaches are in the past, and so is playing with Sidney Rice, who left Minnesota for Seattle in late July. But Donovan McNabb joined the Vikings this summer, giving Harvin an upgrade at quarterback. The bottom line is that Harvin is a fantastic receiver who should be trusted in Fantasy play. He did fine last season with a beat-up Brett Favre as his quarterback without Rice on the field for much of the year, so he could improve and crack 1,000 yards. Draft Harvin as a No. 2 wideout with a pick in Round 5 in PPR leagues and Round 6 in standard formats. If return yardage counts in your league, then Harvin actually moves up a round because of his potential is as a kickoff returner.

DeSean Jackson continues to prove he's among the best wide receivers in the NFL, and in 2011 he's entering a contract year. In the past two years, Jackson has 109 catches for 2,212 and 15 touchdowns. He is the No. 1 target for Michael Vick, and he routinely gets single coverage because all the other weapons in Philadelphia warrant defensive coverage. Jackson also is a threat running the ball with more than 100 yards and a touchdown in each of the past two years. And on special teams, Jackson also gets the job done on punt returns (just ask the Giants). Though injury concerns will follow the smallish receiver year after year, he should be drafted as a No. 1 Fantasy WR with a pick as early as Round 3. Hopefully the motivation of a new contract will help him play even better this season.

All sorts of expectations were in store for Devin Hester in Mike Martz's wild offense in 2010, but he didn't end up producing. Hester caught a career-high four touchdowns but saw his reception and receiving totals sink to ugly levels. But the Bears ignored his poor campaign and instead gave him the starting job in early August -- he'll line up at flanker. Hester claims he can concentrate on reading defenses now and won't spend time thinking about where to go on the field. If he keeps that promise and the Bears keep him on the field, he'll have a shot at putting up some nice numbers. Based on that and his excellent speed, we'd spend a late-round pick on Hester (a middle- to late-round pick in leagues where special-teams yardage counts).

After last year's contract fiasco and suspension to start the season, Vincent Jackson is back on track heading into the year and he knows he will be playing for the Chargers. San Diego named Jackson as its franchise player, so for one season he will get paid what he feels he deserves. It also means he will remain in a contract year, which hopefully will lead to positive results as he attempts to play big for a bigger cash reward next offseason. Jackson appeared in just five games in 2010 and finished with 14 catches for 248 yards and three touchdowns, scoring three times in Week 15 against San Francisco. He should return to being a standout Fantasy receiver capable of putting up the 127 catches for 2,265 yards and 16 touchdowns he had in 2008-09. We consider Jackson a solid No. 2 Fantasy receiver with the chance to be a No. 1 option in this offense. Plan on selecting Jackson as early as Round 3 on Draft Day.

Sure, but because he's done little since entering the league. Fantasy owners should conservatively pass on him outside of the deepest of leagues.

Jenkins broke his string of 50-catch seasons last year, grabbing 41 thanks to missing five games with a shoulder injury at the start of the season, leaving him with 505 yards and two scores, and that's about what you can expect from him. Jenkins is a decent possession receiver who can put up 50 catches a year but that's about it.

Last year over 15 games (including the playoffs) he totaled nine touchdowns and over 850 yards. He's been a consistent receiver as far as being a strong threat, though he's only owned one 1,000yard season in five years. We still consider Holmes a low-end No. 2 Fantasy wide receiver.

Greg Jennings is aiming for his fourth straight season with over 1,100 receiving yards and his fourth out of five seasons with at least nine touchdowns. After scoring 12 times last year (plus twice more in Super Bowl XLV), Jennings has lofty expectations as the go-to receiver in the Green Bay offense. But because his yardage has been reliable and his touchdown production has been almost as reliable (he scored four in 2009), he's entered the rarified air of wide receivers in Fantasy Football. With a decent schedule to boot, consider Jennings a Top 5 Fantasy option and expect him to get snagged off draft boards between Round 2 or 3 in all leagues. Once the likes of Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson and Roddy White are picked, Jennings will be next group of receivers to come off the board.

The Giants drafted rookie WR Jerrel Jernigan in the third round of the NFL Draft out of Troy. Jernigan had 84 catches last season and 262 in his career. He has the athletic ability to run the Wildcat, and his quickness makes him a threat on both kickoff and punt returns, which the Giants need after finishing 31st in both categories last season. Coach Tom Coughlin likes what he sees from Jernigan, citing his versatility as one of his best characteristics while not being concerned that he didn't make a lot of big plays in Troy's passing game over the last few years. We suspect Jernigan will work primarily on special teams in his first full season and chances are he'll have a hard time cracking the Giants' starting lineup given their quality young receivers. In leagues that reward special-teams play he's worth a late-round flier since he might give that unit a spark there. He's also a late-round pick in dynasty/keeper leagues and a mid-round pick in rookie-only drafts. Year 2011 (proj) ---------- Receiving ---------Rcpt Yds TD 23 334 2 FL 1 Fantasy Points 46
For the second year in a row, Jacoby Jones took a step forward in his productivity by posting career-highs in catches (51) and yards (562). But he posted a three-year low in receiving average (11.0 yards per catch) and had three touchdowns (one every 17 catches) a year after posting six (and one every 4.5 catches). Jones signed a three-year deal to stay put in Houston, so his stats have the chance to slightly improve.

Because he missed three games in 2010 with an ankle sprain, Andre Johnson didn't come close to the receptions and yardage numbers he amassed over his last two seasons. But if you average the 45 games he's played in the last three years, the big guy is putting up 6.71 receptions per game, 97 yards per game and one touchdown every two games. Johnson can do it all as a receiver and has been catching passes from Matt Schaub exclusively for two seasons now while dealing with coverage shifted his way. With a fairly good schedule coming his way in 2011, expectations remain high for Johnson. You're not making a mistake taking him with a late first-round pick or early second-round pick this summer.

James Jones had a shot to serve as a No. 2 WR for a team in 2011 after breaking out a bit in 2010, but he decided to stay in Green Bay. Jones eclipsed his single-season yardage high by 3 yards (679) and tied his touchdown total from a year earlier (five), but it's how he finished 2010 that's making Fantasy owners show interest in him. His last 12 games, including the postseason, saw him grab 46 balls for 646 yards (14.0 avg.) and six touchdowns. Because Jones is not a proven receiver and he will again compete for targets with several solid weapons, we don't want to slot him as anything more than a lowend No. 3 Fantasy WR worth a middle- to late-round pick.

There's very little to suggest that it would be a mistake to draft Calvin Johnson in 2011. He's the No. 1 receiver in a Lions offense that has helped him produce big stats regardless of who is quarterbacking. In his last 31 games, Johnson has scored and/or had 100 yards in 15 of them (10 of 16 in 2010), a huge percentage compared to his peers. He also has averaged 15.5 yards per catch over his career and 4.5 catches per game. A favorable schedule only helps him.

Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff invested much of his 2011 and 2012 drafts in a bold trade that brought Alabama receiver Julio Jones to Atlanta. Now it remains to be seen if it will pay off. The Falcons will pair the physical, 6-foot-4 Jones with their Pro Bowl receiver Roddy White much like the Colts did with Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison in the early 2000s and Dez Bryant and Miles Austin in 2010. Jones led Alabama with 78 catches for 1,133 yards and seven touchdowns as a junior and 179 receptions for 2,653 yards and 15 touchdowns in three seasons (40 starts). We suspect he'll start opposite White and see a lot of single coverage. Based on how he played in school, we think he's the most NFL-ready receiver in this draft and could have a seamless transition into the league. That said, the Falcons already have good targets in White and Tony Gonzalez, so expecting a huge first year from Jones is probably a reach. But that doesn't mean he won't give Fantasy owners some good weeks. Jones is worth a late-round pick in seasonal leagues, a middle-round pick in dynasty/keeper leagues and a Top-5 pick in rookie-only drafts.

We talk all the time about third-year breakout wide receivers. Steve Johnson proved to be the poster boy for the cause in 2010. He did nothing in his first two years with 12 catches for 112 yards and two touchdowns prior to 2010, but then he became a star. In '10, his third year, Johnson had 82 catches for 1,073 yards and 10 touchdowns. He had 142 targets and became the No. 1 wide receiver for the Bills. He had six games with double digits in Fantasy points and eight games with at least nine points. Johnson developed an instant connection with Ryan Fitzpatrick and the two should continue to excel this year. Johnson had some well-documented problems with drops, and there is a chance for him being a one-year wonder, but if you draft him as a No. 3 option with a midround pick, then that's good value. It also helps that Johnson is entering a contract year. Year 2011 (proj) 2010 2009 ---------- Receiving ---------Rcpt Yds TD 75 987 7 82 1,073 10 2 10 0 FL 0 1 0 Fantasy Points 141 165 1

Knox caught 51 passes for an incredible 18.8 yards per catch with five touchdowns, with two of his touchdowns coming from 40-plus yards out. The big-play threat is entering his third season and was believed to be on his way to a breakout season when the Bears announced in early August that Devin Hester, not Knox, would land a starting role. Knox could still start opposite Hester, but he'll have to overcome Roy Williams and some early-August back woes to do it.

LaFell had 16 grabs for 167 yards in his last five games, and that includes a catchless effort at Pittsburgh. Fine, those stats won't dazzle you, but if he grabs three or four passes a week he'll be a candidate to at least serve as a one-week replacement when your primary wideout is on bye.

The Browns got a target for quarterback Colt McCoy in the third round of the NFL Draft, selecting North Carolina wide receiver Greg Little, who missed last season while serving an NCAA suspension for accepting improper benefits. Little had 62 catches for 724 yards and five scores as a junior. A 6-foot-2, 230pounder, Little said he caught 100 passes a day to stay sharp during his suspension and should fit in with the Browns' West Coast offense after playing in it with the Tar Heels. Little is a pure athlete who really does fit in with what the Browns are doing, and that will only help his Fantasy outlook. His route running and blocking need improvement, but there's a chance that he can help the Browns out as a rookie and develop into a good target down the line.

Brandon Marshall is hoping his second year with the Dolphins is better than his first. In 2010, his first season in Miami, Marshall had his worst season since his rookie year in 2006. He had 86 catches for 1,014 yards and three touchdowns on 147 targets. He was not among the top 30 Fantasy wide receivers in a standard league. Marshall had four games with double digits in Fantasy points and six games with five points or less. That's ugly, but with a year in Miami under his belt and a new offensive coordinator, Marshall should play better in 2011. That means he is still worth drafting as a No. 2 Fantasy wide receiver, beginning as early as Round 4. His value will be determined by what Miami does at quarterback with Chad Henne not a lock to return as the starter. If the Dolphins upgrade at quarterback, then Marshall's value will rise, but we still expect him to play better than he did last season.

Brandon Lloyd had an amazing season in 2010 when he was the No. 1 receiver in standard Fantasy leagues with 77 catches for 1,448 yards and 11 touchdowns on 153 targets. He had 203 Fantasy points in standard formats and now we'll find out what he can do for an encore in a contract year. With Lloyd, there's good and bad. The good: He's the no-doubt No. 1 wideout for Denver, he plays in a weak division and should be motivated for a new deal. The bad: He's never produced like this before in eight seasons and is known as an underachiever, his offense will be more run-based with John Fox calling the shots compared to Josh McDaniels, and there's no firm commitment to a quarterback by the Broncos. The safe option is to consider Lloyd a No. 2 Fantasy wide receiver with a pick as early as Round 3 or 4. He has the chance for another quality season, but he could also turn into a bust, which is why some owners won't touch him until Round 5 or 6. If you don't overvalue Lloyd and let him fall to you in the right spot on Draft Day, then you could end up with a solid pick -- or someone that won't hurt your team because you took him too soon.

Derrick Mason was released by the Ravens in late July and signed a one-year deal with the Jets in early August. Mason is coming off of two minor surgeries this spring (hernia, broken pinkie) but still proved last year that he could be productive (61 rec., 802 yards, seven TDs). He will likely be the No. 3 option for Mark Sanchez with the Jets and that hurts his Fantasy value heading into the regular season. Despite that he does have some good talent, Fantasy owners shouldn't spend anything more than a late-round pick on him.

Jeremy Maclin might find it hard to become a third-year breakout in 2011 after a standout season in 2010. Last year, Maclin had 70 catches for 964 yards and a team-leading 10 touchdowns, popping his career totals to 126 catches for 1,737 yards and 14 touchdowns. Even though he will have some bum weeks with DeSean Jackson stealing stats from him, we like Maclin as a No. 2 Fantasy WR worth drafting around Round 5 or 6. He has the potential to reach 80 catches, 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns again with Michael Vick throwing him passes, especially since he's entering his third year and will never see double coverage.

The 2011 season will be Mohamed Massaquoi's third in Cleveland, and the Browns hope he follows in the footsteps of so many other wideouts who broke out in their third seasons. He won't have to do much to top his 2010 stats, which were off from his rookie numbers: 483 yards on 36 catches with two touchdowns. The Browns are moving to a West Coast offense which will ask for the receivers to make plays after the catch and Massaquoi is more of a deep-threat type who hasn't come close to his potential. We're not excited about Massaquoi this season, but if you're looking for a third-year receiver with a pretty good schedule, he'd fit the bill. He's worth a late-round pick in drafts as a reserve Fantasy receiver with upside, but that's about it.

Lance Moore is staying with the Saints in 2011 after signing a contract extension prior to training camp. He's got a shot to be productive -- with Reggie Bush out of New Orleans, Moore will compete for playing time in that role with Darren Sproles and could serve as a starter depending on how oft-injured receivers Marques Colston and Robert Meachem hold up. It's clear Drew Brees has confidence in Moore and it's not far fetched to think that Sean Payton will find ways to use him. We think Moore is worth considering as a low-end No. 3 Fantasy WR worth a middle- to late-round pick. There's upside here.

Josh Morgan is expected to return as the No. 2 WR for the 49ers this year opposite Michael Crabtree, and he's entering a potential contract season. Morgan has played well the past two seasons with 96 catches for 1,225 yards and five touchdowns. He is a good complementary WR for the 49ers, but he doesn't help Fantasy owners much based on his lack of scoring. Morgan is worth drafting in deep PPR leagues, but he shouldn't be drafted in most standard formats. And if he starts out the year playing well, especially if the 49ers upgrade at QB, then plan on adding Morgan off the waiver wire.

Robert Meachem had ankle surgery to fix a problem that was bugging him while he played in 2010. He should be fine, but it's clear that the young speedster does have some issues staying healthy. With three significant injuries since entering the league, there's no promise he'll be in good shape for much or all of the season. Moreover, he's got all sorts of potential playing in the Saints' offense, but save for a long touchdown streak in 2009, he's never been overly consistent. He has had his moments, and four of his five touchdowns in 2010 came on big plays, but until his playing time and production become steady, Fantasy owners shouldn't consider him a great player. True, he is entering a contract year and might put it all together so he can land a big pay day next offseason. And playing with the high-powered Saints offense will afford him some big games. But the safest plan is to consider him nothing more than a high-end Fantasy reserve wideout worth a middle- to late-round pick in drafts this summer.

Randy Moss started 2010 as one of the top Fantasy options and ended the year on waivers in most leagues. A tumultuous year that saw him get traded from New England to Minnesota and then fall out of favor with the Vikings coaches and end up claimed off waivers by Tennessee was shocking given Moss' career track record. With his Fantasy appeal as low as it had been at any point throughout his NFL career, Moss decided to call it a career just as training camps were getting under way. One of the greatest WRs in the history of Fantasy football, Moss will not be an option in Fantasy drafts this season.

Santana Moss chose to re-sign with the Redskins after having his contract voided after last season. Moss is coming off an excellent season in 2010 with a career-high 93 catches for 1,115 yards and six touchdowns. It's the second time in the past three years that he's reached 1,000 receiving yards, and he has at least 70 catches in each of the past three seasons. At 31 years old, Moss will likely play more like a No. 3 Fantasy option. We recommend drafting him with a mid-round pick; his return to the Redskins means you can expect a similar season like his stats in 2010 since Washington has a lack of talent at the WR spot.

Louis Murphy is entering his third year in the NFL and he's hoping that leads to a breakout performance. Murphy had a solid year as a rookie in 2009 (34 catches for 521 yards and four touchdowns) but only saw a minimal increase in 2010 (41 catches for 609 yards and two touchdowns). If he can improve in his third year, which is historically the season when wide receivers have a significant breakthrough, then Fantasy owners will want to grab him before that happens. Despite a strange offseason incident involving Murphy, we recommend drafting him with a late-round pick in deeper leagues and all PPR formats. Even with Zach Miller and Darren McFadden and the emergence of Jacoby Ford, Murphy is still a significant contributor on offense (he had 78 targets last year).

Ben Obomanu will return with to Seahawks this season, and he's a candidate to start opposite Mike Williams. In 2010, Obomanu had 30 catches for 494 yards and tied Deon Butler for the team lead in receiving touchdowns with four. Obomanu has the potential to be a significant contributor for the Seahawks, but we need to see him prove it on a consistent basis. He is worth drafting with a late-round pick in deeper leagues, but owners in standard formats should only monitor Obomanu's progress early in the year to see if he's worth adding off the waiver wire. He could end up as a bye-week or injury replacement during the season given the matchups.

Chad Ochocinco was traded to New England prior to training camp, and he will finally get his wish to play for coach Bill Belichick. Ochocinco gets a significant boost with this move since he goes from potentially catching passes from a rookie QB in Andy Dalton to playing with Tom Brady. We like this move for Ochocinco, and he should be considered a No. 3 Fantasy WR worth a midround pick. Look for Ochocinco to work in plenty of three-WR sets with Wes Welker and Deion Branch.

Leave it to Terrell Owens to surprise us in 2010, and cast some intrigue on his value for 2011. Owens caught nine touchdowns in 14 games with the Bengals, adding 72 grabs for 983 yards, shredding expectations after a terrible year in Buffalo in '09. But his season ended with a torn meniscus (he tried playing through it) and had surgery in late December. He then had surgery for a torn ACL in April and as a result will likely miss part or all of the 2011 season. He's without a team and a role, so with that being the case Fantasy owners shouldn't add him to rosters. If he proves he's healthy and comes back to help a team later in the year, then you should be able to find him on waivers.

Knee and toe injuries cost him three games, but he proved to be a dynamic go-to target for Eli Manning, and that should continue this year. Keeping in mind that he has 17 touchdowns through two seasons already, Nicks should be considered a No. 1 Fantasy WR coming into the year -- we can see him improving on last year's stats, especially with Steve Smith (knee) either out to start the season or not coming back as a free agent. Either way, Manning will continue to target Nicks, making him worthy of a third-round pick in all leagues.

Parrish started the first six games in 2010, finishing with 33 catches for a career-high 400 yards and two touchdowns. He added three carries for 23 yards. He only played in eight games before going on injured reserve and needing wrist surgery. Parrish will compete for the No. 3 wide receiver job with David Nelson behind Steve Johnson and Lee Evans, but the slot is where he's likely to end up. He still has minimal Fantasy value until he can put together a full season of quality performances. It does help that he's entering a contract year, but Parrish is still not worth drafting in the majority of leagues. If he catches fire, expect him to be available off waivers.

With a third-round pick the Rams added size to their receiving corps with Boise State WR Austin Pettis. Standing at 6-foot-3 and 209 pounds, Pettis finished college as the Broncos' all-time leading receiver. He scored 39 touchdowns and caught 229 balls for 2,838 yards. The Rams have a plethora of meandering talent at receiver, so Pettis has a shot to work his way into a prominent role. He shouldn't get drafted in seasonal leagues at this point, but he's worth a late-round pick in dynasty/keeper leagues and a mid-round pick in rookie-only drafts.

But if he does start out the season playing well then just add him off the waiver wire.

Sidney Rice finds himself in Seattle, cashing in for nearly $20 million guaranteed after signing a five-year deal in late July. Rice came back from August hip surgery to play in six games with Minnesota last year but only one game (vs. Buffalo) showed his big-play ability (five passes for 105 yards). Against five other opponents he caught 12 passes for 175 yards and no touchdowns. Rice will reunite with former QB Tarvaris Jackson and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell in Seattle, but questions about his quarterback (Jackson isn't anything special) and his motivation (he finally got the big contract he'd been looking for) keep him from remaining among the solid No. 2 Fantasy WRs. We see him as a high-end No. 3 option worth a pick starting in Round 6 or 7. It's a mistake if he's drafted before then.

Maybe the third year is the charm for Brian Robiskie, who has improved in each of his two seasons thus far, though that's not saying much. Robiskie finished with 310 yards on 29 catches with three touchdowns in 2010, though it should be noted that all three of the scores and nine catches for 152 yards came in his final three games (one score per game). That creates some optimism, as does the Browns' intent to implement the West Coast offense in 2011. Robiskie's size and hands could be an asset for the offense, and as such there's some sleeper potential for the third-year receiver. He's worth a lateround pick in drafts as a reserve Fantasy receiver with upside.

Two big games to end the 2010 season put Jerome Simpson on the Fantasy radar screen. Before catching 18 passes for 247 yards and three touchdowns against the Chargers and Ravens in Weeks 16 and 17, Simpson was considered a colossal bust. The former second-round pick had three career catches before then and was seemingly buried on the Bengals' depth chart. Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco aren't back in town, but the selection of A.J. Green in April's draft means Simpson isn't going to be the only big-play receiver in town. Simpson has the size and athleticism to be a staple in the Bengals' offense, but the track record is anything but comforting. Consider him more of a high-end Fantasy reserve receiver until first-hand reports indicate that he's going to stick in the starting lineup and play at a high level with the Bengals in 2011. He's middle- to late-round pick material. Year 2011 (proj) 2010 2009 ---------- Receiving ---------Rcpt Yds TD 57 775 5 20 277 3 0 0 0 FL 0 2 0 Fantasy Points 108 41 0

Emmanuel Sanders didn't have a breakout rookie season like Mike Wallace had last year, but there were signs that he can be a nice part of the offense in the future. Sanders caught 28 passes over 13 games for 376 yards with a pair of touchdowns during the regular season, adding seven grabs for 91 yards before leaving Super Bowl XLV with a broken foot. He'll spend the offseason rehabbing it and has a good shot to start 2011 active and helping the Steelers offense out if he's needed. Remember, with Hines Ward returning and Mike Wallace shining, there's only so many reps available for Sanders, who will share the field with Antwaan Randle El and Antonio Brown. Sanders is worth a late pick in dynasty/keeper league drafts and that's about it. If he plays well in 2011, expect to find him on the waiver wire.

The Jaguars didn't bring back Mike Sims-Walker for the 2011 campaign, opening the door for the big-bodied wideout to land with a rising Rams squad. Sims-Walker was a major disappointment in 2010, catching 43 passes over 14 games for just 562 yards, though he did match his touchdown total from a year prior (seven) thanks to three December scores. The knock on Sims-Walker is that he can't beat press coverage and isn't as dedicated to the game as most receivers, but he will have a chance to make some noise in St. Louis. Fantasy owners should cautiously consider him a good reserve Fantasy wideout considering he has the chance to be the team's top outside threat.

Steve Smith is staying with the Panthers in 2011, excited to play with rookie QB Cam Newton. We hope the two can develop a rapport and help return Smith to an elite WR. He's an expensive part of the offense for the next two years and hasn't been nearly as productive over his last two seasons as he was previously. Part of that is due to awful quarterback play in Carolina as the franchise has yet to find a capable passer since Jake Delhomme's sudden downfall. Smith has also cost himself playing time because of injuries or bad behavior -- he hasn't played a full season since 2005, which happens to be the last time he had over 100 catches, 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns in a season. He still appears to have speed on his side, which is good, and he's a tough, gritty player. Keep the risk factor on Smitty low and get him as a No. 3 WR at best.

Demaryius Thomas will likely be sidelined to open the season after he suffered a ruptured Achilles' tendon while working out in February. We suspect that he's a candidate to start the season on the physically unable to perform list, which would cancel out at least his first six matchups. Depending on his recovery, Thomas could either be worth a late-round pick on Draft Day or someone to snare off the waiver wire. Thomas has the potential to start for the Broncos and play a significant role thanks to his size and speed, but Fantasy owners need to see him healthy first, and that seems to be a huge issue. He had an inconsistent rookie year, but if he can return at 100 percent, then his value could rise heading into the season.

Steve Smith had two things working against him this offseason: a knee injury and a lack of a contract. He was expected to return to the Giants this year, but he opted to sign a one-year deal with rival Philadelphia instead. Smith suffered torn cartilage in his knee in December and underwent microfracture surgery. He hopes to be ready for the regular season, but that's overly optimistic. We expect to see Smith early in the year, barring a setback, and he will likely be the No. 3 WR for the Eagles behind Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson and work in the slot. Given the circumstances, Smith should only be drafted with a mid-round pick as a risk/reward receiver. He's someone to stash on your roster and wait for his return. When healthy, as we saw in 2009, Smith has 100-catch, 1,200-yard potential with a half-dozen touchdowns, and we hope he can get back to that level soon.

In 38 games at Maryland, Smith finished third in school history with 152 catches and second in receiving yards with 2,215. Smith has good speed and explosiveness, so he will give the Ravens a dynamic they never quite got last season. He should have a shot at beginning the season as the Ravens' No. 3 receiver and kickoff returner.

Mike Wallace's 2010 on-field success was well-documented, and now the pressure is on for him to meet or beat those stats in 2011. Wallace caught 60 passes for 1,257 yards -- an eye-popping 21.0 yards per catch average -- with 10 touchdowns during the regular season, and he tacked on another 13 grabs for 115 yards and a touchdown over three postseason games. Not only did Wallace improve in every category in 2010, but he enters 2011 as a third-year receiver and in a contract year while the Steelers have a real favorable schedule. There's a lot for Wallace to play for, and even though he's coming off of a long postseason and could slip a little bit, there's a lot to be excited about.

For the first time in his career, it appeared that Father Time caught up with Hines Ward. The Steelers receiver posted his first 16-game, sub-70 catch, sub900 yard season since 2000 and failed to get to that 900-yard mark even with three postseason games (he totaled 71 grabs for 867 yards and seven touchdowns in 19 games). Mike Wallace has become the new go-to receiver in Pittsburgh, leaving Ward as a slower possession-type outlet for Ben Roethlisberger to target. Ward waved off retirement after Super Bowl XLV but didn't wave off doctors as he had surgery on his left knee and left thumb, both of which might have hindered him in 2010. While the days of relying on Ward as a No. 2 receiver are gone, he could still fit the bill as a No. 3 wideout in deeper leagues and definitely as a quality reserve receiver in all leagues. Fantasy owners shouldn't pass on Ward if he's still available in Rounds 9 or 10 this summer, but he's far from the legendary receiver we've known him as in previous seasons.

Blair White was forced into action in 2010 because of injuries to Austin Collie and Anthony Gonzalez and put up some surprising numbers considering he was an undrafted rookie. Over 13 games, he posted 355 yards on 36 catches with five touchdowns. Only twice did he top 50 yards receiving, but there's no denying the role he played as an outlet for Peyton Manning when the Colts needed his help. White is expected to settle in on the depth chart behind the likes of Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon and Collie, and perhaps Gonzalez too, but with Collie no lock to make it through a season because of concussion issues, there's room for owners to speculate on White. Think of him as a lowrisk, late-round flier, especially if you draft Collie in the middle rounds.

Nate Washington has found himself in a groove, getting around 40 catches and 600 to 650 yards and six touchdowns a season. That's nice for him but not for Fantasy owners. We've figured Washington for a breakout campaign in the past but he's never delivered. Treat Washington like a one-week replacement option worth a late pick in the deepest of drafts. Otherwise, fish for him off waivers during the year. Year 2011 (proj) 2010 2009 ---------- Receiving ---------Rcpt Yds TD 41 537 4 42 687 6 47 569 6 FL 0 0 0 Fantasy Points 78 104 93
Roddy White finally took the big step into elite Fantasy receiver territory in 2010, and should be drafted as such this summer. On a league-leading 179 targets (over 11 per game), White scored 10 touchdowns and caught 115 passes for 1,389 yards. He scored and/or had 100 receiving yards in 10 of 16 games, including each of his first five games and each of his last three (four if you include the postseason). White is a safe candidate for good yardage and touchdowns over the course of the season, though his Fantasy value is at an all-time high. Don't let the addition of Julio Jones to the Falcons' receiving corps scare you off here -- expect White to wind up going between 15th and 25th overall in all leagues this summer.

Fantasy owners will point toward Michael Vick and Peyton Hillis as the top veterans who came out of nowhere to be standout options in 2010, but Mike Williams wasn't far behind. But now he'll be challenged to be as important to the Seahawks offense. A former draft bust in Detroit, Williams resurrected his career with the Seahawks and former college coach Pete Carroll in 2010 with 65 catches for 751 yards and two touchdowns on 110 targets. But the Seahawks added Sidney Rice in late July, eliminating some targets from what was expected for Williams. Figure that he's safer in PPR formats that anything else, but that's really about it. He's a low-end No. 3 WR in those formats and a reserve in standard play. Don't take him before the late rounds.

Wes Welker, NE
Wes Welker proved in 2010 that the knee injury he sustained at the end of the 2009 season wasn't a problem. He now enters 2011 in a potential contract year, but Welker is the de facto No. 1 wide receiver for the Patriots with Randy Moss no longer on the roster. Welker didn't have a usual Welker-like season in 2010 with 86 catches for 848 yards and seven touchdowns. The catches and yards were his fewest since 2006 -- the year before he joined the Patriots. He did have 122 targets, which shows his involvement on offense, but Welker only had five games with double digits in Fantasy points (he had two multitouchdown games) and seven games with five points or less. He should show more consistency this year, especially with the motivation of a new contract, and his knee will be even healthier. Consider Welker a solid No. 2 Fantasy wide receiver worth drafting in Round 5 in the majority of leagues, with his value even higher in leagues where receptions count.

Roy Williams is headed to Chicago, where he'll reunite with offensive coordinator Mike Martz and position coach Darryl Drake. Williams and Martz previously worked together in Detroit, where Williams totaled 146 catches for 2,148 yards and 12 touchdowns over two seasons (including a career-high 1,310 yards in 2006). Williams' familiarity with Martz's offense combined with the opportunity he'll have to start right away and catch passes from Jay Cutler make him an appealing Fantasy option. Granted, he's simply not the same receiver now that he was five years ago, but he's a great fit in Chicago and could see more targets than he ever would have in Dallas. Also keep in mind that Williams might not have top-flight speed, but he can score touchdowns (12 in his last two seasons). If you tone down expectations and view Williams as more of a superb possession receiver and not a big-play threat, you can consider him a decent Fantasy choice. We'd take him as a high-end reserve with upside on Draft Day with a middle- to late-round pick.

Brent Celek went from Fantasy stud in 2009 to dud in 2010. Two years ago, Celek had 76 catches for 971 yards and eight touchdowns and established himself as a No. 1 Fantasy TE. But then last year, Celek fell apart with just 41 catches for 511 yards and four touchdowns. He spent more time blocking last year than he did in 2009, and he also failed to develop a rapport with Michael Vick (or perhaps Vick overlooked him while aiming for DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin). Heading into this season, Celek should play better than he did in 2010, but we still consider him a No. 2 Fantasy TE. He should only be drafted with a late-round pick in standard leagues, and if he starts off the season playing well then just add him off the waiver wire.

The Detroit Lions drafted Boise State's Titus Young in the second round of the NFL draft to be a secondary option for quarterback Matthew Stafford. The 5foot-11, 174-pound Young caught 150 passes for 2,200-plus yards (he averaged over 15 yards per catch) and 19 touchdowns over his final two collegiate seasons. He can also work as a kick returner. He's small and speedy and will almost always get single coverage out of the slot as the likes of Calvin Johnson, Nate Burleson and Brandon Pettigrew will command attention. There's a chance he'll have some ridiculous catches in 2011, so we like his potential to be a low-end sleeper and one-week replacement option off waivers. The deeper the league, and the more special-teams rewards that your league offers offensive players, the more valuable Young will be. He's worth a middle- to late-round choice in dynasty/keeper leagues and a second-round pick in rookie-only drafts.

A freak wrist injury ended Dallas Clark's 2010 season early and now the veteran is out to recoup the stats he lost out on. Averaging a touchdown every two games and six catches per game before getting hurt, Clark was on pace to finish as a top 5 Fantasy tight end, and that's exactly how owners should view him heading into 2011 drafts. A huge component of the Colts offense, Clark should be expected to fall off draft boards between Rounds 4 and 5, especially once someone takes Antonio Gates (Clark should follow rather quickly). Obviously, so long as he proves to be healthy in time for the start of the season, owners can count on Clark to be a devastating Fantasy starter.

Kevin Boss, OAK Bye: 8
Kevin Boss was a free agent this offseason, signing a four-year deal with the Raiders after playing the first four years of his career in New York with the Giants. Boss has the potential to be a No. 1 Fantasy TE, but until he starts to post consistent stats, he should be viewed as a No. 2 option. Boss finished 2010 with respectable totals of 35 catches for 531 yards and five touchdowns. He has at least five touchdowns in each of the past three seasons, but he's never reached 45 catches or 600 yards in a single year. The Raiders have fewer options in the passing game than the Giants did when he was there, so Boss could begin to see an increase in production beginning this season. He should be viewed as a decent No. 2 Fantasy TE worth a late-round pick in the deepest of leagues. Otherwise you can check him out off waivers during the year and use him as a one-week replacement.

We were excited to see Jared Cook get a chance to play regularly late last season, and he didn't disappoint. The athletic tight end snared 24 passes for 292 yards (12.1 avg.) and his first career touchdown in his last six games. We suspect that Cook has earned more playing time and could command work on every down with a good training camp. He's absolutely worth drafting late as a No. 2 Fantasy TE with a lot of upside (he reminds us a lot of Antonio Gates, though not quite as polished). And if you're in a deep draft or a dynasty/keeper league draft, Cook is worth a middle- to late-round flier.

Fantasy owners have grown tired of John Carlson, and rightfully so. He appears to have gone backward in his development as his catches and yards have declined every year, and now he is No. 2 on the depth chart behind Zach Miller.

He had 77 catches for 849 yards and three touchdowns, with the yardage total matching his career high and the catches total the second-best of his career. Touchdowns continue to be a problem for Cooley since he has six combined in his past three seasons, and now he has a knee issue that's kept him out of action for parts of training camp. He's still a No. 1 Fantasy option, especially in PPR formats, but a low-end one. Look his way with a middle- to late-round choice.

If Owen Daniels plays in 2011 like he finished 2010, the folks who draft him will be very happy. After a slow recovery process from a torn ACL, Daniels struggled when he was on the field in limited reps. That changed in Weeks 14 through 17 when he totaled 22 catches for 271 yards and two scores, rekindling thoughts of his breakout '09 campaign. Daniels signed a four-year deal this offseason to stay in Houston and remain a key figure in head coach Gary Kubiak's offense. After speaking with Daniels this summer and hearing his excitement about not having to come back from an injury, we think he'll deliver. Consider Daniels a No. 1 Fantasy TE worth snaring between Rounds 8 and 10.

are the facts: Finley is a dynamic option for Aaron Rodgers in the Packers offense, and so as long as he's healthy he should produce (he began running routes in late April). But the smart move is to draft Finley no earlier than Round 7 (if someone reaches for him that's OK there are plenty of good tight ends this year) and pick up a No. 2 tight end with a late-round pick in case he misses time.

Fred Davis might be the best backup TE in the NFL, but this might be the last year we'll be able to say that. Davis is entering a contract year, and he could leave the Redskins for a starting opportunity in 2012 (if he's not traded first). So long as he's in Washington, he will play behind Chris Cooley again. Doing so last season saw Davis catch 21 passes for 316 yards and three touchdowns the same amount of scores that Cooley had. He now has nine touchdowns in the past two years and would be a must-add off the waiver wire if Cooley missed relevant playing time. Davis is only worth a late-round pick in dynasty/keeper leagues since he could blossom into a star in 2012.

This year, all we want is for Antonio Gates to stay healthy. He's had a problem doing that lately as foot and toe injuries have held him back. In 2010, Gates was limited to 10 games, but he's expected to be 100 percent healthy to start the year. Owners should be concerned about his health now that he's turning 30, but we still believe he'll be a standout Fantasy option worth drafting as the No. 1 tight end in all leagues starting in Round 4. Last year, prior to getting hurt, Gates was on pace for a career year but ended with 50 catches for 782 yards and 10 touchdowns. If you project that for a full season, he would have finished with 80 catches for 1,251 yards and 16 touchdowns. Now, it will be hard for him to reach those totals with Vincent Jackson back for a full year, but Gates is still capable of 75 catches, 1,110 yards and eight touchdowns, which make him a star at his position. Just consider the possibility of carrying a backup tight end just in case he misses relevant playing time.

His stats could improve this year given the 49ers' turn to a West Coast offense as well as a possible upgrade at QB, but Davis has shown he can be successful even with inconsistent play from his quarterback. We consider Davis a No. 1 option, and he should be drafted toward the end of Round 4 or beginning of Round 5 in all leagues.

Fantasy owners are concerned that Tony Gonzalez is on the downside of his career after his receptions and receiving yards fell for the third straight year. With 14 seasons under his belt, it's no surprise. Gonzalez fared slightly better on turf than on grass and seemingly did better with divisional rivals, but really his best play came early in the season and saw most of his receptions come between the 20s (all of his touchdowns came in the red zone). Expect his touchdown production to improve a bit but for his receiving totals to sink with Julio Jones joining the Falcons offense this season. We know that Gonzalez brings quite a pedigree to the table, and we recommend him as a low-end No. 1 Fantasy TE, but he's no longer worth the mid-round pick that he'd been going for in drafts. If Gonzalez falls to you in drafts starting in Round 9 or 10 and you need a tight end, drafting him is fine. But don't be the guy who reaches for him this summer.

Graham, a thirdround pick, finished the regular season scoring in three straight games and totaling five touchdowns and 307 yards in the Saints' last eight contests (he didn't play in the postseason due to an ankle injury). While Graham's yardage left a lot to be desired in most games, it was obvious that his presence in the red zone was welcomed by the Saints and especially quarterback Drew Brees. Fantasy owners will bank on that in 2011 and draft Graham as a middle- to low-end No. 1 Fantasy tight end worth a pick in the middle rounds.

Which Dustin Keller will show up in 2011? The one who was a tremendous star for the first four weeks of the season in 2010 or the one who faltered once Santonio Holmes returned from his suspension? Keller had an amazing start last year with 19 catches for 254 yards and five touchdowns in his first four games. But those five touchdowns were his only touchdowns of the season, and he finished the year with 55 catches for 687 yards. Keller's dropoff could be a direct correlation to Holmes' return, so we'll find out what happens this year if Holmes and/or Braylon Edwards leave as a free agent. We still expect Keller to play well since even with the decline in stats, Mark Sanchez likes using Keller as a safety blanket, and he had 101 targets. But consider Keller just a No. 2 Fantasy tight end on Draft Day and hope that his first four games in 2010 is the type of production you get for the entire 2011 season. He's worth drafting late.

There's a lot to like, and dislike, about Marcedes Lewis. Last year he finally met some expectations while playing in a contract year and posted across-theboard career-best totals, including a touchdown every 5.8 catches. And he's on a team with no established receiving threats. So what's not to like? How about the fact that 700 yards receiving was a career best for Lewis by nearly 200 yards, and before getting those 10 scores in 2010, he had no more than two in any of his previous four seasons. And the Jaguars gave him a five-year contract extension with $18 million guaranteed, so there's no contract year for him anymore. There's risk in drafting Lewis this summer, but so long as you do it with a late-round pick, it shouldn't burn you too bad. We like him best as a borderline No. 1/No. 2 Fantasy tight end.

The Vikings selected Notre Dame tight end Kyle Rudolph with a second round pick in the NFL draft. The 6-foot-6, 265-pound Rudolph left school early despite missing several games with a torn hamstring injury in 2010. Rudolph would have had a shot to make an impact had he landed on another team, but with Visanthe Shiancoe on the Vikings already chances are he won't do much this year. Next year, however, Shiancoe will be a free agent and Rudolph could end up being the top tight end for the Vikings and a Fantasy sleeper.

Tony Moeaki was a surprise rookie in 2010 and he will look to play even better as a second-year player in 2011. He got off to a hot start with two touchdowns in his first three games and became a hot commodity off the waiver wire, but he scored just once more for the rest of the year as he dealt with injuries. He finished the season with 47 catches for 556 yards, which was good enough for second in catches and yards in Kansas City behind Dwayne Bowe, but that says more about the lack of receivers for the Chiefs than Moeaki's talent. Still, if you're looking for a No. 2 Fantasy tight end in deeper leagues, Moeaki is worth a look.

Remember, he's a part-timer in a Lions offense that includes Calvin Johnson and Brandon Pettigrew, so he doesn't exactly get a ton of opportunities. Unless your league is TE-intensive, pass on Scheffler. Year 2011 (proj) 2010 2009 ---------- Receiving ---------Rcpt Yds TD 29 350 1 45 378 1 31 416 2 FL 1 1 0 Fantasy Points 39 41 53
Benjamin Watson finished 2010 as the Browns' leading receiver, catching 68 balls for 763 yards. But he accounted for only three touchdowns, though the team leaned on the run for much of the season. The catches and yardage were career-highs, but the lack of scores hurt him. The good news for Watson is that the Browns are moving to a West Coast offense and he should be a regular on the field in 2011. Figure Watson to be a capable No. 2 Fantasy tight end, worth drafting late or picking up off waivers as a one-week replacement during the season.

A year after scoring 11 touchdowns, Vikings TE Visanthe Shiancoe disappointed Fantasy owners by scoring two in 2010. He also took a small dip in receptions and receiving totals, and all of these lowered stats mean lowered expectations headed into 2011. Perhaps that's why Notre Dame TE Kyle Rudolph was the team's second-round pick in April's draft, and perhaps it means that Shiancoe could be on the move after this season when he's a free agent. That means he could cash in with a good 2011, but the truth is that sharing the field with Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin could mean limited targets. An unsettled quarterback situation is also worth monitoring. But ultimately Fantasy owners should pass on Shiancoe because there are far too many good tight ends with lots more upside in 2011. Thus, view him as a No. 2 option at best; don't be surprised if he doesn't get drafted and you use him off waivers as a one-week replacement when he has a favorable matchup.

Jason Witten continues to be one of the top Fantasy options at his position. In 2010, Witten had his fourth year in a row with at least 80 catches and he's reached at least 90 grabs in three of the past four seasons. He also had his third 1,000-yard season and second in a row. But the best news for Fantasy owners was Witten set a career high with nine touchdowns. The Cowboys made an effort to get Witten more involved in the red zone and he didn't let his coaches or Fantasy owners down. We expect Witten to have another tremendous season in 2011 and he should be considered a top 3 player at his position. Plan on drafting Witten as early as Round 4 in all leagues. Once Antonio Gates is off the board, Witten will be too within the next 10 picks.

Did Jacob Tamme save your Fantasy season in 2010 when he replaced Dallas Clark and posted career-high stats? The 67 grabs for 631 yards and four scores were good enough to make him a top 15 Fantasy tight end, even though he started just eight games. But unless Tamme lands with a new club this offseason, he's going to be on the bench for the Colts or just used in two tight end sets as the second option. Fantasy owners should pass on Tamme in drafts until he regains relevant playing time.

David Akers was able to sign with the 49ers for a fresh start after the Eagles drafted rookie kicker Alex Henery in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Akers had more than 30 field goals and 45 extra points for the third year in a row in 2010, and he should be able to get similar opportunity with the new-look Niners. Though he won't be as productive with his new club, he should be considered a No. 1 Fantasy option even at 36 with his track record.

Connor Barth is a restricted free agent this offseason, but it is believed he'll stick with the Bucs. That would be good for him as the team's offense is on the rise and he would benefit from it. Barth didn't finish as a top 12 Fantasy kicker last season, but he has nailed 79.7 percent of his kicks over his three-year career. Barth has struggled with longer kicks -- all but three of his career misses have come from 40-plus yards -- but playing in the Bucs' offense should make him useful as at least a good one-week replacement kicker off waivers during the year when the matchup is right.

David Buehler is poised to kick for the Cowboys this season after the release of Kris Brown in late July. With minimal competition for the job, Buehler should be the one booting field goals and extra points in Dallas.

Rob Bironas continues to serve as a quality Fantasy kicker worthy of a pick on Draft Day. Last season he hit 24 of 26 field goals and all 38 of his extra point attempts. The 92.3 pct. of kicks he notched was a career-best, but the 26 attempts were a career low. Expect Bironas to have a few more opportunities in 2011, particularly if Chris Johnson continues to steamroll run stoppers and Kenny Britt dominates secondaries (Tennessee's schedule is favorable). Treat Bironas as a low-end Fantasy starter worth a pick in the final round of drafts.

Dan Carpenter enters this season as a No. 1 Fantasy kicker after a solid 2010 campaign. He made 30 of 41 field goals, with a long of 60, and all 25 extra points with Miami. Unfortunately, five of his missed field goals came in his last three games, including a 0-for-4 stinker vs. Buffalo. On the plus side, Carpenter made four kicks from at least 50 yards and finished with 116 Fantasy points in standard leagues. Carpenter had six games with double digits in Fantasy points and eight games with multiple field goals. He now has 55 field goals in his past two years and should be in a position to kick a lot again in 2011. Carpenter should be drafted with a late-round pick in all leagues.

Josh Brown had a career year in 2010, and he will look to build off that performance this year. In 2010, Brown made a career-high 33 field goals on 39 attempts. He also converted 26 of 27 extra points, and Brown should have the chance for another quality year this season. He also has a strong leg with three made field goals of at least 50 yards last year. The Rams offense is on the rise, and Brown should perform well again in 2011. We consider him a low-end No. 1 Fantasy option, and he is worth drafting with a late-round pick in all leagues.

After helping the Packers to a win in Super Bowl XLV, Mason Crosby is back in Green Bay after signing a five-year deal prior to training camp. In 2010, Crosby attempted a career-low 28 field goals, which resulted in his smallish Fantasy totals given his career 78.1 kicking percentage (he made just 22 last season). But the reality is that he kicks for one of the most potent offenses in the league and should see more opportunities for three pointers than he did in 2010. He's worth a late-round pick in all drafts.

Jay Feely's first season as Arizona's kicker in 2010 was about on average for his career. He made 24 of 27 field goals and all 29 extra points. In 10 seasons, it was the sixth time he's made 25 or fewer field goals and the third time he's had fewer than 30 extra points. Feely will remain an accurate kicker, and he plays in a favorable venue, but the Cardinals need to improve on offense specifically at QB if Feely wants an upgrade in Fantasy value. We view him as a No. 2 Fantasy option, and he's worth using as a bye-week replacement off waivers in all formats.

Jason Hanson missed half of last season with a MCL injury and is expected to at the very least compete for his job with the Lions this summer. Hanson's an old hand, playing with Detroit since 1992. At some point you have to figure that his leg will give out, but he hit 12 of 14 field goals last season and has hit 54 of his last 64 attempts. If Hanson remains as Detroit's kicker, he could put up some decent totals as the Lions' offense is one of the most potentially explosive units in the league.

When you think of Garrett Hartley kicking for the Saints, you might think of a sure-fire starter simply because he's on a team with a high-powered offense that delivers lots of field goal opportunities. But you'd be wrong Hartley attempted just 25 field goals last season over 14 games, making 20 with 40 extra points. On one hand, we love Hartley's potential because he's kicking for the Saints, but the fact is that he's averaging less than one field-goal attempt per game over his career with New Orleans and has made on average roughly 80 percent of his field goal attempts over the last two years .

It's the sixth time in 14 seasons he's had at least 25 field goals and the 10th time he's had at least 30 extra points.

Defense/Special Teams
Bears Bye: 8
The addition of Julius Peppers and the resurgence of Devin Hester made the Bears defense one of the league's best in 2010, so obviously expectations are high for 2011. Peppers and a healthy Brian Urlacher led a blitz-crazy defense that forced 21 interceptions and 22 fumbles, while racking up 34 sacks. Questions about the future of the Bears' secondary still exist, but the defense as a whole is very solid and should be competitive even with several tough offenses they'll face in 2011. But throw in Hester among the group of Bears returning punts and kicks, and the Bears DST doesn't seem like such a bad choice. Expect them to get picked in every league with a late-round pick.

Ryan Succop, KC
Bye: 6
Ryan Succop has proven to be a solid kicker for Fantasy owners the past two seasons. In two years in the NFL, Succop has 45 field goals (20 in 2010) and last year he made 42 extra points with Kansas City's improved offense. He should be able to post similar stats in 2011, but there are much safer kicking options to go with on Draft Day. If anything, consider Succop for one-week replacement duty off waivers during the year.

Bengals
Bye: 7
Bye: 11
Shaun Suisham replaced Jeff Reed as the Steelers' kicker in Week 11 and finished the regular season hitting 14 of 15 field goals and adding 19 extra points. He might get some competition for his job after missing a pair of long field goals in the postseason (including an ill-advised attempt in Super Bowl XLV), but if he winds up as the Steelers' kicker, he might pick up some points. Problem is that he has not been a reliable Fantasy option over his career, nor have the Steelers typically had reliable Fantasy kickers. Think late-round pick, if at all, on Suisham in 2011.

The Bengals DST regressed in 2010, finishing among the bottom 10. They totaled 27 sacks, 16 interceptions, 12 forced fumbles (10 recovered) and scored two touchdowns (both defensive) while allowing opponents to score 395 points, over 100 points more from 2009. The Bengals will have to spend some money to keep their quality cornerback tandem together as Johnathan Joseph is a free agent, and they need to address their linebacker corps as veteran Dhani Jones is also up for a new deal. Ultimately, the Bengals need a pass rusher to help the entire defense, and until they find someone to wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks, they'll struggle. Moreover, the Bengals defense will see a lot of strong offenses in 2011 and don't have a potent kick-return game, so there's not a lot to like here. Consider other options before the Bengals DST on Draft Day.

Bills
Bye: 7
Bye: 7
Lawrence Tynes remains a No. 2 Fantasy kicker in the majority of leagues. He's never made more than 27 field goals in a year, and in 2010 he had just 19 made field goals on 23 attempts. He does have 88 extra points the past two seasons, which shows the potential of this Giants offense, but Tynes has a lot to prove to Fantasy owners before they should consider starting him each week. Tynes is best suited as a bye-week replacement off waivers in the majority of leagues, but if you decide to draft him do so with a last-round pick on Draft Day.

The Bills DST is not a good Fantasy option heading into this season. There is some talent on defense in Paul Posluszny and Jairus Byrd, and if Shawne Merriman can return to health that would be a huge boost. The Bills also added rookies Marcel Dareus (defensive tackle), Aaron Williams (cornerback) and Kelvin Sheppard (linebacker) in the draft, but they wont make a significant enough impact right away. In 2010, the Bills were among the bottom five teams in Fantasy points with just 11 interceptions, 27 sacks, 11 fumble recoveries, four defensive touchdowns, 425 points allowed and 911 tackles. There is potential on special teams with C.J. Spiller, but the Bills DST is not worth drafting in the majority of leagues. If they start off the season playing well then add them off the waiver wire as a bye-week replacement.

Broncos
Bye: 6
Cardinals
Bye: 6
The Broncos DST needs work heading into 2011, and new head coach John Fox should make improvements. But that doesnt mean Fantasy owners are going to draft this unit in the majority of leagues. Denver has aging veterans on defense with Champ Bailey and Brian Dawkins, and the Broncos need passrush specialist Elvis Dumervil (chest) to return at 100 percent. They did well in the draft with six picks going to the defensive side of the ball, including firstrounder Von Miller and second-rounder Rahim Moore, but as we all know, most rookies take time to develop. In 2010, the Broncos DST struggled with only six games with double digits in Fantasy points in a standard league. Thats not good, and the unit needs to start the season playing well if Fantasy owners are going to add them off the waiver wire. Our advice would be to avoid the Broncos DST on Draft Day.

The Cardinals defense has quality players with Darnell Dockett, Adrian Wilson and rookie cornerback Patrick Peterson leading the way, but the Cardinals DST struggled last year with just five games with more than 15 Fantasy points. They also had just 30 turnovers and 33 sacks. Now, what saved the Cardinals DST in 2010 was 10 touchdowns, but they need to be more consistent. Hopefully the addition of new defensive coordinator Ray Horton will help, but the Cardinals DST should be considered a No. 2 option on Draft Day. Dont draft the Cardinals DST in the majority of leagues, but they could be a byeweek replacement if they start out the season playing well.

Chargers
Bye: 6
Browns
Bye: 5
The Browns DST didn't post great totals in 2010, and a big reason for it was a lack of production from their heralded special-teams unit. Josh Cribbs didn't score a touchdown on special teams for the first time in his career. But the Browns aren't expected to take Cribbs' role there away from him, and the additions they made in the draft in Phil Taylor and Jabaal Sheard suggest they're going young in their 4-3 defensive realignment. The Browns defense had 19 interceptions, nine forced fumbles (nine recovered), 29 sacks and three touchdowns last year. They allowed 332 points and 5,601 total yards, both down from last year, and with young talent like Joe Haden, T.J. Ward and Ahtyba Rubin, they have room to take the next step in 2011. Their schedule has a lot of firepower on it, a strike against them for sure, but they will have some favorable matchups. We'd look for the Browns DST off waivers as a oneweek replacement.

The Chargers will have a new defensive coordinator in 2011 with Greg Manusky stepping in to replace Ron Rivera, who is now the head coach in Carolina. But Manusky, who was the 49ers defensive coordinator for the past four seasons, will run the same 3-4 system. Now, the Chargers will likely be without standout return man Darren Sproles, who is expected to leave as a free agent, but San Diego should still have quality players on defense. The Chargers have averaged three touchdowns, 15 interceptions, 36 sacks and nine fumble recoveries over the past three seasons, and they are capable of reaching those stats again this year. Consider the Chargers DST a low-end No. 1 option on Draft Day with a late-round pick.

Chiefs
Bye: 6
Buccaneers
Bye: 8
Tampa Bay's offense is on the rise, but its defense is changing. Prized but troubled cornerback Aqib Talib is expected to be suspended to start the year (assuming the Bucs don't release him following an off-field incident), stud inside linebacker Barrett Ruud is a free agent and both safety spots aren't confidently filled. However, the team addressed its pass rush with the selections of ends Adrian Clayborn and Da'Quan Bowers in April's draft. If they pan out, they should get to the quarterback. But their problems are magnified when a challenging schedule that includes potent offenses from the NFC North, AFC South and of course the Saints and Falcons twice each is considered. The bottom line is that this DST is worth avoiding on Draft Day. Instead, consider them a one-week replacement off waivers when faced with a good matchup during the season.

The Chiefs DST had a solid year in 2010 and improved dramatically under coordinator Romeo Crennel. They should play well once again this season. It helped the defense that rookie safety Eric Berry (92 tackles and four interceptions) had an outstanding season, and the Chiefs also got quality play out of Tamba Hali (14.5 sacks) and Derrick Johnson (121 tackles). Along with Brandon Flowers and Glenn Dorsey, Kansas City has some nice talent on defense, including the addition of rookies Justin Houston, Allen Bailey and Jalil Brown. And on special teams, with speedsters Dexter McCluster and Javier Arenas, the Chiefs are always a threat to score. Plan on drafting the Chiefs DST with a late-round pick in deep leagues or adding them off the waiver wire as a bye-week replacement in standard formats. They arent good enough to be a solid No. 1 option yet, but the potential is definitely there based on the players they have on defense and special teams.

Colts
Bye: 11
The Colts DST was awful last year, and with no significant changes on the horizon for them heading into the 2011 season, chances are they'll be easy to pass on come Draft Day. Last year they posted five touchdowns (two on returns) but accounted for just 30 sacks, 10 interceptions and 12 forced fumbles, while giving up 388 points (24 per game). The Colts' schedule is loaded with potent offenses, and there's a real good chance Indy allows plenty of points again in 2011. Look elsewhere for Fantasy help on Draft Day.

Cowboys
Bye: 5
Falcons
Bye: 8
The Cowboys DST is a great Fantasy sleeper with the addition of Rob Ryan as defensive coordinator. Ryan has done well in previous stops in Cleveland and Oakland, but he's never had this much talent, especially talent that's used to a 3-4 scheme. And with Dez Bryant leading the return game, the Cowboys DST should be solid. The unit struggled in 2010, but the Cowboys should rebound this year. Plan on drafting the Cowboys DST with a late-round pick in all leagues. Playing against the NFC West and AFC East as part of their schedule won't hurt things, either.

The Falcons DST finished as a top 12 Fantasy option in 2010, but they did so quietly. Despite handling 22 interceptions, totaling five touchdowns (two on returns) and yielding just 288 points, Atlanta was left with 31 sacks and 14 forced fumbles while giving up more than 3,600 passing yards. So while it was a good unit -- especially in those matchups against the Panthers, Seahawks and Browns -- it just wasn't quite a must-start option. Immediately following the season the Falcons jettisoned safety Erik Coleman, making it clear that they're going to try and improve their play there. They also could stand to add another pass rusher and retain kick returner Eric Weems. But the biggest issue with this unit is the schedule. Not only will it have two games each against the Saints and Buccaneers, but it will also duel with the AFC South, NFC North, the Eagles and the Giants in 2011. It's hard to believe the Falcons will hold down opponents to low scores, making the unit one to pass on come Draft Day. Look for them on waivers when they have games against the Panthers.

Dolphins
Bye: 5
The Dolphins DST has all the pieces in place to be a solid unit, but Miami still enters this season as a No. 2 Fantasy option. The Dolphins DST has to prove itself first before Fantasy owners can trust them. Miami has an excellent pass rusher in Cameron Wake, a play-making linebacker in Karlos Dansby and a good secondary that includes Yeremiah Bell and Vontae Davis. They also have an innovative defensive coordinator in Mike Nolan and some decent complementary parts. But with that same cast of characters last year, the Dolphins managed just 163 Fantasy points in a standard league, which ranked outside of the Top 20. The Dolphins DST has the chance to improve in 2011, but the safe bet is to add them off the waiver wire if they start out playing well or as a bye-week replacement. The Dolphins DST is not yet at the level where you consider them a starting option.

49ers
Bye: 7
The 49ers DST benefits from several things, mainly some talented players (Patrick Willis, Dashon Goldson, Justin Smith, Nate Clements and Takeo Spikes on defense and Ted Ginn on special teams), and now it's up to new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio to get them playing at a high level. In 2010, the 49ers had just 36 sacks and 22 turnovers, which was a decline from 2009. We consider the 49ers DST a No. 2 option on Draft Day. The potential is there for them to be a starting unit, but owners should only use them as a bye-week replacement going into the year with the hope that they can become a regular option with more consistent play.

Eagles
Bye: 7
The Eagles DST continues to be a dynamic unit thanks to their aggressive play-calling and the return abilities of DeSean Jackson, and the additions of Nnamdi Asomugha and Jason Babin only make them more intriguing. Where there's a wrinkle is at defensive coordinator where Juan Castillo -- the Eagles' former offensive line coach -- will call the plays. That sounds really strange but Castillo is a grizzled football vet who Andy Reid trusts to run the defense. They also have defensive line coach Jim Washburn to help the pass rush explode. In the past two years, the Eagles DST has 19 games with double digits in Fantasy points. They do a good job of rushing the passer and have the ability to create turnovers with back to back seasons of 20-plus interceptions. We like the Eagles DST as a solid No. 1 Fantasy option, and they are worth a late-round pick in all leagues.

Giants
Bye: 7
The Giants DST should be considered a No. 1 Fantasy option on Draft Day because they have all the elements you look for in a quality unit. The biggest asset to the Giants is their pass rush with talented players like Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora and a quality defensive backfield with Antrel Rolle, Kenny Phillips and rookie Prince Amukamara, who was drafted in the first round. In 2010, the Giants had nine games with double digits in Fantasy points, including four games with 20 or more points. They had 12 games with double digits in sacks and 16 total interceptions. Thats the type of production you can expect from the Giants DST, and they are worth drafting with a late-round pick after all the elite options are off the board.

Jaguars
Bye: 9
The Jaguars DST showed occasional flashes of what might eventually come, but they were mainly a doormat in 2010. With a shattered secondary that nearly every opponent had success against, the unit as a whole allowed 5,949 yards, 419 points and only had 13 interceptions, 26 sacks, eight forced fumbles (five recovered) and one touchdown. Jacksonville's defense will continue to see potent superstars from the Colts, Texans and Titans and its schedule doesn't do it any favors. Tack on a draft class that added zero playmakers, and the unit is in big trouble. Keep the Jaguars DST off of Fantasy rosters unless you're looking for a one-week fill-in during the season.

Patriots
Bye: 7
The Jets DST enters 2011 as a No. 1 Fantasy option, but they arent the top unit as they were in 2010. Last year, the Jets DST was solid but not spectacular. They had seven games with at least 15 Fantasy points but five games with 10 points or less. The problem for the Jets is their pass rush since they had more than three sacks just twice. They did a good job creating turnovers with 12 interceptions and 17 forced fumbles, and they also had five defensive touchdowns. The Jets did well this offseason by drafting rookie DE Muhammad Wilkerson in Round 1 and DT Kenrick Ellis in Round 2, and they should improve the defensive line. And with Rex Ryan calling the shots, the Jets defense should be successful this season. Plan on drafting the Jets DST as a starting option with a late-round pick in all formats.

The Patriots DST has the potential to be great in 2011 if they can enhance their pass rush. Otherwise, all the components are in place to succeed. Talented players? New England has Jerod Mayo, Devin McCourty, Pat Chung and rookie DB Ras-I Dowling, who was drafted in the second round. They also acquired Albert Haynesworth in late July to help with that pass rush. Good special teams? Brandon Tate proved to be a quality return man in 2010 and should continue to shine this year. The Patriots had at least 15 Fantasy points in a standard league in 2010 eight times, including five games in a row to close the season. Plan on drafting the Patriots as a low-end No. 1 option with a lateround pick. Bill Belichick will continue to improve the defense, and the Patriots DST should excel.

Lions
Bye: 9
Raiders
Bye: 8
Don't laugh, but the Lions DST finished as a Top 12 unit in standard-scoring formats last season, and they might do it again this season. The Lions really got a boost from defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, who accounted for 10 of the team's 44 sacks, and as a result they allowed fewer than 5,500 total yards, which is less than the Patriots and Cowboys allowed. They even upgraded at safety this offseason by signing veteran Erik Coleman and added rookie defensive tackle Nick Fairley to pair with Suh. Now the bad news: Detroit faces several strong offenses in 2011, including the Packers twice and the Saints, Falcons, Buccaneers, Cowboys and Chargers, making their DST a tough choice on Draft Day. Your best bet is to pick them off waivers and use them as a one-week replacement during the season assuming they don't make any other splashes in free agency, in which case they would be worth drafting.

The Raiders DST made tremendous strides in 2010 and was even a starting option in several leagues by the end of the season. The Raiders did a good job with their pass rush (seven players had at least four sacks with 47 total), they had seven interceptions, 12 fumble recoveries and seven touchdowns, which set a new high for the past four seasons. Three of those touchdowns came on returns thanks to Jacoby Ford, but the Raiders have some quality defenders in Tyvon Branch, Richard Seymour, Michael Huff, Rolando McClain and Kamerion Wimbley. Oakland has some tough matchups this year against the AFC East and NFC North along with two games against San Diego, but the Raiders could be a decent option to use if you rotate your DST on a weekly basis, especially if they are able to bring back free agent CB Nnamdi Asomugha. They wont be a starting option in the majority of leagues, but you can use the Raiders DST in deeper formats and as a bye-week replacement.

Packers
Bye: 8
The Packers DST wound up being one of the best in Fantasy in 2010, so expectations are they'll be strong again in 2011. The unit racked up 24 interceptions, 47 sacks, 15 forced fumbles (eight recovered) and four defensive touchdowns (no special teams scores). Unlike several other defenses, the Packers have nearly all of their starters in place for another run they even have incredible depth at linebacker and cornerback. The Packers' schedule is tougher they face a lot of really potent offenses in 2011 but so long as Dom Capers is at the control of this unit, consider the Packers DST a high-quality No. 1 option worth a middle- to late-round pick. They might be tops in the league in 2011.

The Rams DST has potential to be a successful unit, but they should be considered a No. 2 Fantasy option coming into the year. St. Louis lost standout DB O.J. Atogwe, who signed with the Redskins, but Steve Spagnuolo's crew still has some young talent up front in James Laurinaitis and Chris Long. Still, the Rams need work, and they had no defensive touchdowns in 2010 or special teams scores. The Rams had 43 sacks, but they only forced 26 turnovers. If the Rams DST can improve early in the year then look for them off the waiver wire as a bye-week replacement. But don't plan on drafting the Rams DST in the majority of leagues.

Panthers
Bye: 9
Ravens
Bye: 5
Losing Julius Peppers was just one of several big problems the Panthers DST incurred last season, and without improvements this offseason they'll struggle again in 2011. They're in a tough division with three solid offenses and have matchups against the offensively loaded AFC South and NFC North coming up. So even though they boast one of the league's best linebackers in Jon Beason and have a pair of burgeoning young defenders in Charles Johnson and Charles Godfrey, Fantasy owners should stay far, far away from this unit this summer.

The Ravens DST finished 2010 as a Top-12 unit, but it didn't come easy. Thanks to a strong finish propelled in part by the return of safety Ed Reed, the defense wound up with 19 interceptions, 15 forced fumbles (eight recovered), but just 27 sacks and three touchdowns. The special teams unit added another touchdown on a David Reed kickoff return. While some Fantasy owners might have lost interest in the Ravens due to how they played over the first two-thirds of the season, there's optimism based on the last third as well as their excellent schedule. We'd consider this DST draftable somewhere in the late rounds.

Redskins
Bye: 5
Texans
Bye: 11
The Redskins DST has some solid playmakers on the defensive side with the new addition of DB Oshiomogho Atogwe and rookie DE Ryan Kerrigan to go with London Fletcher, DeAngelo Hall, Brian Orakpo and LaRon Landry. They also got rid of Albert Haynesworth in late July. But this unit needs to improve tremendously for Fantasy owners to count on them. In 2010, the Redskins had just six games with double digits in Fantasy points, including only one in the final eight games. The Redskins DST did have three touchdowns, but they had just 40 sacks and 27 turnovers. Go into the season with the Redskins DST as a No. 2 Fantasy option, and they should only be used as a bye-week replacement in the majority of leagues.

The Texans DST got a facelift this offseason after finishing dead last in several defensive categories as well as ending up as the worst DST in Fantasy Football. Houston signed Wade Phillips to be its defensive coordinator and will move to a 3-4 scheme in 2011. The team also drafted defensive lineman J.J. Watt and pass rusher Brooks Reed with their first two picks in April's draft. But it's their secondary that remains the weak spot after giving up 33 passing touchdowns in 2010. Big questions surrounding the health of LB DeMeco Ryans (Achilles'), the personnel on special teams and how soon the team can adjust to the new defensive scheme remain. The Texans DST is not worthy of being drafted at this point, though they are a solid consideration as a one-week replacement during the season when faced with a favorable matchup.

Saints
What's in store for the Saints DST in 2011? After regressing a bit last season, the team already added interior line help with big defensive tackle Shaun Rogers, and he could go a long way in helping New Orleans get better against the run and force some turnovers. They also landed some pass rush help with Cameron Jordan, the team's first-round pick. And while the Saints' secondary was solid for much of 2010, they only picked off nine passes after hawking 26 in 2009. The challenge for the Saints D will come in their schedule as they take on potent offenses from the NFC North and AFC South along with their own intra-division battles, so they're going to give up some points. Save for die-hard fans, this unit shouldn't get drafted in standard 10- and 12-team leagues. If anything, check for them off waivers when they have juicy matchups against the Panthers.

Seahawks
Bye: 6
The Seahawks DST has a long way to go before Fantasy owners can count on them this season. There is some talent there with David Hawthorne, Chris Clemons and Earl Thomas, and Leon Washington remains a star on special teams. But this unit is still not worth using as a No. 1 Fantasy option. In 2010, including the playoffs, Seattle had six defensive touchdowns, 13 interceptions, 41 sacks, 11 fumble recoveries and 19 forced fumbles. Don't worry about the Seahawks DST on Draft Day, but if they do improve early in the year then they could be a useful one-week replacement off the waiver wire.

Vikings
Bye: 9
The Vikings defense was a big disappointment in 2010 and could well be on their way to struggling again in 2011. Their paltry totals -- 31 sacks, 15 interceptions, 11 forced fumbles and three touchdowns (one on special teams) -- combined with 348 points and 5,002 yards allowed made them weak Fantasy options. The team is expected to have a hole at defensive tackle due to Pat Williams' departure and might part ways with outside linebacker Ben Leber. Its safety depth is also a major concern, so the door is open for opposing offenses to run through this unit if it doesn't fix its problems. The Vikings also have a challenging schedule and will face a number of strong running teams. This is going to sound funny, but do not draft the Vikings DST in 2011. There are safer options out there.

Steelers
Bye: 11
By name, the Steelers defense is considered one of the best and as such will be off the board earlier than most DSTs in 2011. That perception matched reality in 2010 as the defense rebounded from a paltry 2009 and led all DSTs in standard-scoring formats. The Steelers totaled 48 sacks, 21 interceptions, 24 forced fumbles with 14 recovered and four touchdowns (one on special teams). The Steelers had a healthy Troy Polamalu for much of the year and also saw excellent defensive line play from Ziggy Hood, who shouldered a big load with Aaron Smith out with an arm injury (rookie Cameron Heyward should help them out there, too). The rise of linebackers LaMarr Woodley and Lawrence Timmons also helped Pittsburgh a great deal. Consider them a No. 1 option worth taking in Round 10.
