FANTASY BOYZ TOP 10 BREAKOUT PLAYERS

By Sean Tierney, Fantasy Boyz consultant

Here we go kids……  we’ve already seen who Bystrak thinks will fall on their face but who’s gunna rise up??

Here’s ten guys I think will be in line for a big fantasy year and maybe a nice pay raise in 2012……..

10. Zach Miller – now here is a guy that was a part of an interesting offense.  Sometimes the raiders looked like they had it…..annnnnnnnd most of the time they didn’t.   but he was one player that was an always reliable target for whoever was throwing the ball.  Now he goes to an offense that is basically a college style offense and takes over the starting job from John Carlson (who was announced today out for the season).  With big Mike Williams on one side and the newly acquired Sidney Rice on the other Miller will give the laughable NFC west defenses all they can handle down the middle.  Look for him to build on his career high in all categories

Still has a shitty QB but should continue to produce

9.  Jordan Shipley – for a guy that was on a mediocre offense (and still is) he hauled in 52 receptions and was the go to receiver on 3^rd down during his rookie campaign.  With Ocho gone and AJ Green in the mix look for Shipley to act as AJ’s “Robin”.  He’s poised to have a big sophomore year.

Crap offense but not too much competition for targets

8.  Chad Ochocinco  -- how does Ocho make this list you ask… (see Randy Moss pre-Patriots).   For someone that’s a six time pro-bowler you would think “he’s gotta put up solid numbers every year”.  The reality is that he hasn’t eclipsed the 90 reception mark since 2007 and has only one 1,000 yard season in the last 3 years.  After a dismal year with the Raiders in ’06, Randy Moss went to the Pats and had a record setting year.  I don’t think Ocho breaks the 23 TD mark but look for him and Brady to mesh well and get back into double digit touchdowns.

OCHO will no longer be Stinko after getting out of Cincy

7.  Felix Jones – talk about a guy stuck in a crowded backfield.  He was the second fiddle to Marion Barber and at times Tashard Choice for his brief time in the NFL.  With Barber off to the windy city it’s time for Jones to take the reins and shine as the premier back in big D.

This burner finally getting the touches

6.  Steve Breaston – Breaston has normally been a solid 3^rd WR option and played third fiddle to Boldin and Fitz in Arizona for a few years.  He had a career high 77 catches in ’08 but only took 3 of them for TD’s.  going into an offense that has Jamal Charles, Thomas Jones, Dwayne Bowe, Tony Moeaki and Dexter McCluster he should see plenty of single coverage opposite Bowe.  Look for him to crack the goal line more than double his career high.

The always solid wide out should see more balls his way

5. Dustin Keller – He’s been dirty Sanchez’s safety valve for the past two seasons.  Reliable hands and always seems to get the first downs.  He’s had consistent seasons of 50 catches and nearly went for 700 yards last year.  with Plax in the mix now that will move the safety over to either him or Santonio freeing up the middle for Keller to wreak havoc.  Look for him to surpass his career highs in catches, yards and TD’s.

Dirty Sanchez's favorite target

4.  Tim Hightower  --  Hightower was a TD machine in his rookie year of 08’ putting up 10 scores but mainly as a goal line back.  pretty much the same story in 09’ when he had 8.  The scores were always there but the yards were atrocious.  He’s been traded to Washington and now runs for a guy that knows a little bit about how to use a running back.  It’s his job to lose and so far this pre-season he has shined to the tune of 25 carries, 170 yards and 2 TD’s.  Sure it’s the pre-season but it could be a sign of big things to come.

Dreds looking tighter than ever in DC

3.  Jimmy Graham  -- when you look at the New Orleans offense, there are a handful of options that could have a break out year.  Graham is interesting though.  He’s in his sophomore year out of the U.  6’6 and a slim 260lbs.   he runs like a wide receiver and plays like an offensive lineman.  In his rookie season he put up 31 grabs, 356 yards and 5 TD’s in an offense that likes to spread the ball around to any one of their TE’s.  With Shockey out of the picture that leaves he and David Thomas.  Thomas is more of a stay at home run block guy where Graham will stretch the middle and shake off a LB for a big gain.  Look for Brees to find him often this year. 

Look for this lanky son of a bitch to tear it up!!

2.  Lee Evans – Being a Buffalonian, it’s always been tough to see this guy struggle.  Now keeping in mind that he’s never really had a good QB to deliver him the ball (not since Drew Bledsoe at least) or a receiver opposite him to take the pressure off (he took the pressure off Stevie Johnson last year……. see top 10 flops for him).  He broke 80 catches only once and 1,000 yards only twice in 7 years.  He’s never scored double digit TD’s either.  Going to Baltimore and starting opposite Anquan Boldin is the perfect medicine for his career.   He’ll be going to a winning team with a quarterback who just keeps getting better.  I’m pulling for him this year……..look for his long due breakout campaign.

Sad to see Lee leave the B Lo but could mean great things for his career

1.  Matthew Stafford  -- undoubtedly everyone’s #1 for 2011.  since being drafted in 2009, the face of the Lions franchise has played a combined 13 games and thrown for a little over 2800 yards while connecting on a total of 19 TD’s.  doesn’t seem right for the future star of a once dismal team now on the rise.  Stafford’s problem has been staying on the field.  In 3 games in 2010 he was on an excellent pace throwing for 6 TD’s and only 1 int, but his frail bones wouldn’t allow him to stay on the field.  I see him taking the bull by the horns and going off this year.  he’s the wild card for that team and possibly the NFC Norris division in what could be a surprise year for the lowly lions.

The Fantasy Boyz love Stafford's style on and off the field

Sticking with Foster....

So the Fantasy world is a buzz with Arian Foster latest hammy tweak.  The Fantasy Boyz are well aware that Foster's hamstrig problems date back to his college days in Tennesee, and have followed him to the NFL.  Everyone from Gary Kubiak to Arian himself are stating he will be ready to roll in week one.  Still it seems he is slipping in drafts the last couple days.  Is this drop warranted?  We here are Fantasy Boyz Sports think not.  The Houston offense is poised to be a juggernaut this season, with a solid Offensive line, a seasoned QB, and one of the top wide receivers in all of football in Andre Johnson.  There is absolutely no reason to think that Foster won't be a HUGE part of all this.  In an upcoming draft the Boyz are drafting in we are hoping to God and baby Jesus this young super stud is passed over so we can swoop him up at pick #4.  We highly recommend grabbing Foster's backup Ben Tate late in the draft to cuff just in case the hammy tightens up at any point.  Please  readers go ahead and do yourself a favor and get this guy as early as you can. 

                                                                                   Don't let your dimwitted buddies talk you out of drafting this guy!!!

FANTASY BOYZ 4 round mock draft

With the help of a website the Fantasy Boyz frequent regularly, the Billszone.com , we bring you yet another mock draft to help you on draft day.  This draft in particular is a 4 round mock.  We wanted to switch things up from the last mock and use different parameters.  The scoring for this mock was a standard scoring PPR format. 

1 point per catch
1 point per 10 yards rushing/receiving
6 point per rushing/receiving/passing TD

We feel this draft really is really indicative of how a normal draft would go down in a real life format.  Many of the drafts you see on so called "expert" sites so many times differ from the ones you encounter when drafting with your buddies in your local tavern/man cave.  The participants ranged from a few hardened big money players to a couple casual fantasy players.   The results were pretty standard from what we have been seeing in our many online mocks and league drafts this summer.

We strongly urge you to check out our message board forum located on the right hand side of the site.

Coming soon will be our live Ustream channel and pre recorded videos.    

FANTASY BOYZ DST RANKINGS

Today the Fantasy Boyz decided to go ahead and rank the defenses.  We weren't going to because in all honesty we don't believe in selecting a defense before round 10.  We also are aware that year to year the top ten defenses of a year previous have a 50% turnover.   Unless your league gives big time points for things like low yards and points allowed we feel that you can do pretty good for yourself late in the draft.  Don't be the idiot who is grabbing the Steelers defense in the 6th round.  Keep in mind it is possible the last defense on this list could easily end up in the top ten of scoring for fantasy.......

FANTASY BOYZ 14 TEAM MOCK

Below is the first in a series of 2 round mock drafts created by the Fantasy Boyz as we lead up until the start of the season.  This mock is particularly close to our hearts as it is of our very own big money league which is in its 11th year of existence.  The league is a Non PPR, with 6 points per touchdown pass, and 1 point per 25 yards rushing and receiving and 1 point per 50 yards passing.  A very TD heavy league.

FANTASY BOYZ TE RANKINGS

The Fantasy Boyz have gone ahead and given you the most important pieces to your draft strategy.. YOUR WELCOME! BUT lets not forget about the Tight End position people!!!  We have witnessed and participated in many drafts where the Tight Ends either go too early or are not focused on at all.  Lets get this straight Tight Ends are a starting spot on most teams.  GET A GOOD ONE!!  Now don't go grabbing Gates in the second round or anything but we suggest you start looking one in say the 5th round.  Your best bet is to not panic and ride the first TE run that pops up.  If there is still a quality RB, QB, or WR still on the board grab that then get your TE on the way back through.. You don't want Anthony Fasano starting for you all season........

FANTASY BOYZ BASEBALL PICKUPS OF THE WEEK.........

Don't you start thinking the Fantasy Boyz don't care about their baseball because we do in a major way.  Let us help you bring home your upcoming championship.  Below is a list of some players that could be tolling on your waiver wire that might be that missing piece you need.

1.  Placido Polanco - First the old man had a cranky back, then he pulled his twigs and berries and had to get a hernia surgery.  Word on the street is his jock is healed and he is coming off the DL today.  Prior to these setbacks Placido was an All Star hitman
2. Aubrey Huff - Coming off a World Series win Huff had been more disappointing than a warm Pabst Blue Ribbon, but lately he has been coming around and at just the right time.  He also has dual position eligibility in most leagues.
3. Casper Wells - CASPER WHO you may say????  This guy aint no friendly ghost to opposing pitchers lately, crushing 5 moonshots in his last 8 games.  Grab this guy DAMMIT...
4. Jonathon Sanchez - This wild strikeout artist has broke many fantasy hearts and team ERA's this summer but he is coming off an ankle injury and might be one of the few legitimate starters available.
5. Chris Sale - This lanky fireballer is not first in line for saves on the south side but he is getting the occasional chance to add to his low ERA and high strikeout rate.

Don't end up like this guy.... use our advice....

FANTASY BOYZ WR RANKINGS

Now that you are ahead of the game at the QB and RB position let us now give you the draft edge at wide receiver too.  As the league continues it's pass first trend there are many receivers that should be a part of your championship roster.  Once the top running backs and a few top QBs are gone you need to start snatching up these sure handed speedsters(we are looking at you Pick 10).  We are not even opposed to doubling up and taking 2 pass catchers in the first two rounds depending on the circumstances.  Instead of taking Frank Gore how would Megatron look in your WR1 slot???  Yeah we thought so....

PLAYER, TEAM POS	FANTASY BOYZ BUZZ *note hot players in red and cold in blue
Andre Johnson, Hou WR	Last season showed he's still capable of being one of the most productive receivers in the league
Calvin Johnson, Det WR	Yet to make more than 78 receptions in a season, This could be the year
Roddy White, Atl WR	The potential dip in production due to Julio Jones will be offset by an offensive that will feature less run and more pass
Greg Jennings, GB WR	Another year of steady production with Grant and Finley back? Fuck yes
Hakeem Nicks, NYG WR	Developing into one of the best WR in the game!
Larry Fitzgerald, Ari WR	In a PPR league, Larry is still a top option. He should benefit from a decent QB this year.

Vincent Jackson, SD WR	We expect him to produce like a No.1 WR this year
Reggie Wayne, Ind WR	He's got Peyton throwing to him, dummy!
Miles Austin, Dal WR	A healthy Romo could help Austin achieve 09 numbers
DeSean Jackson, Phi WR	Top Receiver on a possible DREAM TEAM
Dez Bryant, Dal WR	Could be the largest risk/reward option in this years draft!
Dwayne Bowe, KC WR	Might not be realistic to get back to 15 TDs, but he will be a No.1 WR receiver with double digit TDs
Mike Williams, TB WR	Will break the 1,000 yard barrier this year despite playing for the Buccaneers
Jeremy Maclin, Phi WR	Maclin is a solid option as long as he gets over his mysterious illness
Marques Colston, NO WR	Solid number 2 WR, but how many knee surgeries can he withstand?
Brandon Lloyd, Den WR	Brandon who?  Former nobody becoming  a somebody
Santonio Holmes, NYJ WR	Holmes should 'rack up' a lot of YAC!
Kenny Britt, Ten WR	A lot of talent, without a lot of brain!
Steve Johnson, Buf WR	A known commodity this year

Brandon Marshall, Mia WR	Will lead the league in catching "wounded ducks" for TDs
Austin Collie, Ind WR	Named the WR most likely to die from a crossing pattern
Sidney Rice, Sea WR	Would be higher on our list of a decent QB was throwing to him

Steve Smith, Car WR	His chemistry with Cam at the helm will tell the story this year
A.J. Green, Cin WR	Looked explosive in the pre-season so far, just wonder who will be throwing to him
Johnny Knox, Chi WR	Just because he is a the top of the depth chart, doesn’t mean he should be on the top of yours
Malcom Floyd, SD WR	Floyd is a solid mid-late round pick who has potential for a 1,000 yard season
Mike Thomas, Jac WR	A little undersized, but could be a factor in the red-zone
Chad Ochocinco, NE WR	Good pre-season chemistry with Mr. Brady could mean a big big year!
Lance Moore, NO WR	Poised for a breakout year, especially if Colston's injuries continue to nag

James Jones, GB WR	Nothing special besides the color of his jersey

Plaxico Burress, NYJ WR	Has great red-zone potential, regardless of how many pistols hes carrying
Jerome Simpson, Cin WR	Headed to a Number 2 WR role to a team with major quarterback concerns

Derrick Mason, NYJ WR	No fantasy upside to a guy providing backup to Burress
Steve Breaston, KC WR	May split snaps with the first round rookie Baldwin
Jacoby Jones, Hou WR	Has a lot o f play making ability and the potential for as many as 700 yards and 5 TDs
Nate Burleson, Det WR	The number 2 WR slot in Detroit remains productive, Nate hopes to continue that trend

Danny Amendola, StL WR	Continues to impress coaches this spring. Has tremendous upside!
Kevin Walter, Hou WR	Would take a Johnson injury to be noticed

FANTASY BOYZ FALL FLAT ON THEIR FACE BUSTS

By David Bystrak, Fantasy Boyz consultant

Lets take a quick second before our much anticipated WR rankings to talk for a second about the players that we will let other people in our leagues worry about.  These are the guys that make you scream at the TV in your local sports bar or man cave.  Let the douche bag picking after you select these headaches.....

1  Stevie Johnson- No Evans, No TE, No chance of repeating the same performance

2  Mike Vick- Turnovers started to appear later in the season and he has only played 16 games 1 time in career. Overdue for an injury.  We like our first 1 pick to play an entire season

3  Mark Ingram- Alot of hype, but not enough balls to make him worthy of a roster spot

4  Peyton Hillis- 2010's one hit wonder now has the Dreaded Madden curse to deal with

5 Mercedes Lewis- Never chase TDs when drafting.  Jacksonville's QB situation is a mess and there is zero chance of repeating those numbers

6 Mark Sanchez-  Sexy Sexy Mark Sanchez.  We're keeping him away from our fantasy team and our girl friend

7 Sidney Rice- Show him the money! and show him a huge drop off in catchable balls!

8 Wes Welker - We love everything about Wes Welker, but the additions of Ocho Cinco and Dion Branch make it very difficult for him to exceed 90 catches

9 Cedric Benson- You couldnt pay us to draft a Bengal

10  Javid Best- Who is more injury prone? Best or Stafford?..... Let someone else deal with this headache

                                                      Let this guy draft the above BUSTS!!!!

FANTASY BOYZ QB RANKINGS

In our first official rankings we chose to go with QBs.  Every other fantasy football site and their mother will tell you running back this and running back that.  Sure Studly RBs are a great thing to have but lets not sleep on the Gunslingers OK???  The NFL has been morphing into a pass first league for quite some time now.  Our assertion is that unless you get one of the top 4 or 5 RBs in the first round taking a top flight QB such as Rodgers or Vick will help you stock your trophy cabinets with championship hardware.  Our next posted rankings will be running backs.    Please send any questions to fantasyboyzquestions@gmail.com or follow us on twitter at @FANTASYBOYZSports
