Yes, Minka Kelly is wonderful, but Fez? Always room for a letdown.
The Next Best
These are guys who should be great, and they will probably give you awesome numbers, but the tiniest little voice in the back of my head keeps whispering, “Dude, watch them be terrible.” Basically, I need to see them repeat last season before I crown them.
Matt Stafford – I love Calvin Johnson. I love Titus Young. I love Brandon Pettigrew. I even love Kevin Smith if his paper ankles stay healthy. So Stafford should be awesome this season and this is just me being paranoid. (I spent $54 on him in my auction league, so my paranoia is warranted.)
Cam Newton – I have a rule about never using an early pick on rookies or guys who are coming off their first big seasons. I call it my “Miles Austin Rule”. This isn’t a knock on Newton’s talent, and I’m sure he’ll put up good numbers, but will he be consistent? I’m comfortable letting someone else take that chance.

Sorry, I know it’s terrible for me, but I’m taking a Lohan.
Josh “Gordon” Freeman or Matt Cassel Crashers?
If they’re on your roster, you just might SAVE them, dammit!
lol at my team, Carson Palmer isn’t even on there :(
I’ve got a Hudgens (Schaub) and a Gomez (RGIII) in one league, and a Gomez (RGIII again) and an unlisted (Fitzpatrick) in the other. Luckily, I have great WRs and RBs in both leagues.
This is timely analysis.
I look forward to the breakdown of our choices in the presidential election that you’ll do in mid-December.
I’ve still got two upcoming drafts, preseason is still ongoing, so I’m not sure what your issue is…
I’d take Eli over Newton and any other guy in the second sexiest bracket. He had almost 5k yards last year, never misses a game and the Giants’ running back situation hasn’t exactly improved.
I have a Hudgens (Romo). I’m hoping he outperforms this season, the same way I’m hoping that Hudgens will outperform in her upcoming role as a stripper. But, like Romo, I know she won’t live up to her potential and deliver the goods.
So are Palmer, Weeden, Tannehill, etc the androgynous lady-man Ken Shamrock punched?
So it’s Weeden, Palmer, Wilson, Tannehill, Fitzpatick, Gabbert, Bradford, and Skelton that are piles of barf. I can see that.
I got a huge Hudgens on my team. And just like Vanessa Hudgens gets fingered by Selena Gomez in her latest film, which will keep her relevant for at least 5 more years, I’m hoping Schaub gets metaphorically fingered by Johnson (in a good way) on the field, allowing me to attain fantasy football glory.
That is a terrible and hilarious analogy.
Your personal preferences are really evident in these rankings. There isn’t a single blonde in there.
This is really fun and I hope you have fun doing it.
Also for what it’s worth I thought the themes last year were very fun and I am hoping you do that again.
I’m assuming Russell Wilson = Chloe Moretz.. wait someone’s at my door.
Why hello there officer.
Was hoping the rookies were the Chloe Moretzs
shit should have read all the comments before stepping on Devil Dinosaur’s joke.
I copped Stafford at 9 (might have been a hair early but I was going into my pick wanting either Stafford or Megatron, Megatron went 8). Took Cutler suspiciously late for my backup. Sleeper though was Russell Wilson from Seattle. Next day he got named the teams starter. The kid looks good. Watch him blow up…
