Markus Rendell's blog ::Falcon football overview: Wide receivers










Larry               Fitzgerald               is               still               the               best               wide               receiver               in               the               NFL               because               of               his               athletic               ability,               speed,               playoff               resume,               and               route               running               abilities.

There               are               about               10               "great"               wide               receivers               in               the               NFL               but               only               three               "elite"               receivers.

The               three               elite               receivers               in               the               NFL               are               Fitzgerald,               Calvin               Johnson,               and               Andre               Johnson.

First               let's               dissect               and               compare,               Calvin               Johnson               aka,               "Megatron"               to               Fitzgerald.

Megatron               is               a               great               nickname               because               of               Johnson's               large               stature.

He's               two               inches               and               15               pounds               bigger               than               Fitzgerald.

Recently               he               has               been               putting               up               more               impressive               numbers               than               Fitzgerald,               but               that               doesn't               mean               he's               better.

Fitzgerald's               numbers               have               been               dropping               lately.

He               only               had               798               receiving               yards(1)               last               season               compared               to               Megatron's               1,964(2).

But               The               Detroit               Lions               passed               the               football               last               season               more               than               any               other               team               in               NFL               history,               largely               in               part               due               to               Matthew               Stafford.

Stafford               isn't               an               elite               quarterback               but               he's               still               good               and               that's               who               Megatron               has               throwing               him               the               ball,               about               twenty               times               a               game.

Fitzgerald               on               the               other               hand               has               gone               through               dismal               quarterbacks               since               Kurt               Warner.

Quarterbacks               such               as               Kevin               Kolb,               John               Skelton,               Ryan               Lindley,               Brian               Hoyer,               Derek               Anderson,               Matt               Leinart,               and               Max               Hall.

If               the               quarterbacks               were               switched,               Fitzgerald               would               thrive               (as               he               did               with               Warner)               and               Megatron               would               be               wondering               where               are               his               usual               20               pass               attempts               per               game               that               come               his               way               went.

Megatron               had               122               receptions               last               season,               51               more               than               Fitzgerald.

And               yet               touchdowns               were               about               even               five               to               four.

So               let's               think               about               that               for               a               second.

Even               though               Calvin               Johnson               had               51               more               catches               and               opportunities               to               put               the               ball               into               the               endzone               he               only               scored               one               more               touchdown?

Sorry               that's               just               inexcusable,               especially               in               the               most               "pass               happy"               offense               in               the               entire               NFL.

Fitzgerald               only               had               four               touchdowns,               but               he               went               through               four               different               quarterbacks               last               season               that               couldn't               hit               the               broad               side               of               a               barn.

And,               yes,               I               know               Megatron               had               a               lot               more               yards,               but               yards               don't               win               games,               points               do.

Hence               why               the               Lions               went               4-12.

Then               there's               Andre               Johnson.

He's               every               bit               as               physical               as               Megatron               and               more.

He               doesn't               have               the               hands               as               "sticky               fingers"               Fitzgerald               but               he               doesn't               have               a               dropping               problem               or               any               route               running               issues.

He               also               makes               significantly               less               money               than               both               Fitzgerald               and               Megatron.

However,               Andre               Johnson               is               the               oldest               of               the               three               and               he               has               lost               a               little               bit               of               his               burst               with               the               deep               ball.

Unlike               Fitzgerald               and               Megatron,               Andre               hasn't               found               the               endzone               at               the               same               rate.

Andre               Johnson               has               never               once               recorded               double               digit               touchdowns               in               a               season               (3).

Andre               Jonson               also               benefits               from               a               balanced               attack               with               Arian               Foster               running               the               ball.

The               biggest               factor               that               separates               Fitzgerald               from               everyone               else               is               his               playoff               resume.

In               2008               Fitzgerald               had               the               greatest               postseason               by               a               receiver               ever.

In               four               playoff               games,               Fitzgerald               scored               seven               touchdowns(NFL               playoff               record)               including               two               in               the               Super               Bowl               (4).

He               scored               what               would               have               been               the               Super               Bowl               winning               touchdown               against               the               Steelers               with               a               64               yard               score               with               less               than               three               minutes               to               play.

Megatron               or               Andre               Johnson               ever               do               that?

In               the               end,               there               are               three               elite               wide               receivers               in               the               NFL.

In               order               1.

Larry               Fitzgerald               2.

Calvin               Johnson               3.

Andre               Jonson.

There               are               great               wide               receivers               such               as               Brandon               Marshall,               who               has               never               played               a               single               playoff               game,               Dez               Bryant,               who               still               has               to               work               on               his               route               running               in               Dallas,               A.J.

Green               who               is               still               young,               Welker               who               isn't               a               threat               past               10               yards,               and               Victor               Cruz               who's               only               played               two               seasons.

But               they're               great,               not               elite.

    Markus Rendell's blog ::NFL Week 4: Fear and Loathing in Philly










    So               here               we               are               entering               week               9               of               the               NFL               season.

    I               haven't               posted               an               article               in               about               3               weeks               so               I               may               be               a               little               rusty               but               I               have               some               good               news.

    Erik               Dell               is               now               a               member               of               the               Fantasy               Sports               Writer's               Association               (www.FSWA.org).

    My               application               was               submitted               in               the               summer               and               approved               last               week.

    What               does               this               mean?

    For               starters               it               means               me               and               Matthew               Berry               (a               fellow               FSWA               member)               are               now               even               in               our               fantasy               sports               writing               careers...

    except               that               he               has               the               posh               job               at               ESPN...

    and               he               even               has               a               screen               writing               credit               for               a               major               motion               picture               (well               Crocodile               Dundee               III               is               kinda               major,               right?)               Anyways               week               8               brought               some               good               performances               from               some               players               we've               been               waiting               to               pay               dividends.

    In               the               world               of               running               backs,               we               saw               Matt               Forte               and               Michael               Turner               bust               it               lose.

    We               saw               Thomas               Jones               just               being               Thomas               Jones.

    Steven               Jackson               FINALLY               hit               the               end               zone               and               Chris               Johnson               practically               won               Tennessee's               first               game               himself               with               a               monster               200+               yard               and               2TD               performance.

    Not               a               bad               week               for               running               backs               in               general.
                   As               we               move               into               my               week               9               predictions               I've               been               looking               for               a               title               to               my               weekly               articles.

    I               title               it               sleepers               but               I               believe               I               pick               the               best               options               based               on               matchups               and               stats               from               this               season.

    I               also               try               to               throw               in               a               few               picks               that               you               might               not               regularly               use.

    Basically,               I               want               a               title               to               my               articles               that               will               start               appearing               on               BabyBlueMonkey.com.

    I've               seen               Studs               and               Duds,               Sleepers               and               Creepers,               even               Matthew               Barry               has               a               cool               nickname,               Talented               Mr.

    Roto.

    Can               I               get               some               help               here?
                   So               week               9               has               6               teams               on               bye               and               that               might               affect               a               few               of               your               teams               (considering               Oakland,               St.

    Louis,               Cleveland,               and               Buffalo               have               4               out               of               the               5               worst               run               defenses               and               they               are               on               bye),               here               are               my               top               ten               running               backs               (RBs)               for               week               9               fantasy               football:
                   1)               Ryan               Grant               -               For               the               most               part               Grant               has               been               horribly               mediocre.

    Not               quite               a               RB1               but               not               quite               bad               enough               to               replace               him               with               potential               burners               like               Thomas               Jones               and,               until               last               week,               Steven               Jackson.

    Grant               has               a               favorable               matchup               against               a               very               bad               Tampa               Bay               defense.

    Aaron               Rodgers               will               exploit               the               Bucs               with               a               few               touchdowns               mixed               with               Ryan's               runs.

    I               think               Ryan               is               eclipsing               the               100               +               yard               mark               with               a               TD.
                   2)               Ahmad               Bradshaw               -               Sure               Brandon               Jacobs               is               supposed               to               be               the               RB1               on               the               New               York               Giants               but               I               think               it's               safe               to               safe               that               most               of               us               know               that               Bradshaw               is               the               man               there               (shhhh,               don't               tell               Jacobs               this).

    San               Diego's               rush               defense               is               porous               at               best               and               the               Giants               will               be               looking               to               rebound               hard               after               three               straight               losses.

    Bradshaw               won't               get               as               many               carries               as               Jacobs               but               I'm               seeing               a               100+               yard               performance               and               a               touchdown               to               go               with               it               (I               am               fully               aware               that               I               wrote               the               same               thing               for               Grant,               thanks).
                   3)               Joseph               Addai               -               The               first               thing               Addai               has               going               for               him               is               that               Donald               Brown               is               banged               up               and               may               or               may               not               play               Sunday.

    The               second               thing               going               for               Addai               is               that               he's               on               the               Indianapolis               Colts,               which               means               he               will               get               redzone               looks               and               maybe               even               get               to               throw               another               touchdown.

    I'm               pretty               sure               Peyton               Manning's               job               is               safe               but               it's               nice               to               know               that               Addai               can               step               in               at               anytime               and               lob               one               to               Reggie               Wayne.

    Around               75               yards               and               a               score               for               Addai.
                   4)               Pierre               Thomas               -               I'm               not               buying               the               Carolina               win               last               week,               it               was               a               fluke               against               Kurt               Warner               and               company.

    Thomas               will               shred               the               defense               and               break               a               long               one               for               a               TD.

    Yards               won't               be               too               fantastic               because               of               Bell               but               Thomas               is               a               nice               play               this               week.
                   5)               Ray               Rice               -               So               Cedric               Benson               had               his               day               against               the               Baltimore               Ravens.

    That               won't               happen               again               as               the               only               person               acquitted               of               murder               in               the               NFL,               Ray               Lewis,               does               bodily               harm               to               someone               on               the               Bengals,               causing               a               nervous               Benson               to               fumble               the               ball               at               the               goal               line.

    Or               maybe               I               just               like               Flacco               (another               similarity               between               myself               and               Matthew               Barry?)               and               company.

    Either               way               Ray               Rice               is               a               dynamic               player               and               will               have               a               great               game.

    A               bit               of               advice               for               next               year,               draft               Rice               high.
                   6)               Ricky               Williams               -               Williams               is               silently               having               a               killer               year               and               the               New               England               defense               will               be               keying               in               on               Mr.

    "6               touchdowns"               Ronnie               Brown.

    The               potential               here               for               Williams               is               enormous               as               Brown               will               be               covered               and               Henne               is,               well               Henne               (a               rookie               at               best).

    2               touchdowns...
                   7)               Kevin               Smith               -               With               Megatron               out               there               is               only               one               option               in               Detroit               and               that               is               K-Smith.

    Even               if               Calvin               Johnson               returns,               Kevin               Smith               will               always               put               in               decent               numbers               as               a               RB2.

    I               like               him               against               Seattle               this               week               and               see               a               similar               performance               as               week               8               except               I               think               he               will               score               a               touchdown.
                   8)               Julius               Jones               -               K-Smith               will               do               well               but               Seattle               will               win               the               game.

    Detroit's               rush               defense               is               middle               of               the               pack               but               I               think               Jones               will               have               a               decent               game,               especially               if               you               need               a               bye               week               filler.

    It's               not               like               Edgerin               James               will               be               stealing               many               of               Julius               Jones's               carries.

    There               should               be               some               pay               dirt               here               with               a               tasty               touchdown               to               temptation               treats               (poor               alliteration               attempt).
                   9)               Beanie               Wells               -               I'm               not               sold               on               this               guy               but               if               you               are               in               a               pinch               for               the               bye               week               I               would               suggest               using               him.

    The               Cardinals               should               pound               the               ball               some               to               free               up               their               passing               game.

    This               would               mean               some               touches               for               Wells               who               is               in               a               time-share               with               Hightower.

    It's               a               long               shot               but               I               like               Well's               big               play               potential               over               Hightower's               advantage               in               touches.
                   10)               Ladainian               Tomlinson               -               Sure               this               guy               was               sitting               on               the               trash               heap               for               a               while               and               people               are               overly               concerned               about               him               turning               30               but               he               can               still               perform               at               a               high               level.

    The               Giants               rush               defense               is               shaky               and               LT               just               came               off               of               a               confidence               boosting               game               versus               Oakland.

    I'm               going               out               on               a               limb               here               but               I               think               LT               will               have               another               2               TD               game.

    Maybe...
                   That's               the               week               9               top               ten               running               backs               (RBs)               for               fantasy               football               2009.

    Chose               wisely               and               read               often.

    Leave               a               comment               if               you               have               a               decent               article               name               for               my               weekly               best               picks...

    Markus Rendell's blog ::Calvin Johnson on the Original Meaning of Direct Taxes Michael Ramsey










    A               so-called               "Keeper               League"               is               a               specific               type               of               Fantasy               Football               League.

    Keeper               Leagues               offer               owners               a               right               to               retain               a               designated               number               of               key               players               ("Keepers")               from               previous               years-with               or               sans               some               penalty,               depending               on               each               league's               rules.

    As               a               result,               Keepers               are               eliminated               from               the               league's               draft.

    Often               times,               deciding               whether               a               player               is               a               Keeper               is               uncomplicated-if               you               have               a               highly               productive               player,               without               injury,               at               or               near               the               beginning               or               apex               of               his               career,               that               player               is               without               question               a               Keeper.

    Equally               as               often,               however,               an               owner               is               faced               with               the               decision               as               to               whether               (s)he               should               keep               a               productive               player               who               may               be               overcoming               an               injury               or               reaching               the               end               of               his               career,               or               opting               for               a               younger,               potential               star,               such               as               a               top               draft               choice               from               the               most               recent               NFL               Draft.

    In               a               perfect               world,               a               Keeper               will               be               young,               highly               productive,               and               consistent.
                   As               the               2009               Fantasy               Football               season               approaches,               owners               in               Keeper               Leagues               are               likely               to               consider               the               following               players               as               this               year's               Top               10               Keepers               on               Offense:
                   1.

    Adrian               Peterson,               RB,               Minnesota               Vikings:               The               former               University               of               Oklahoma               star               and               2-year               NFL               standout               clearly               tops               the               list               of               this               year's               Keepers               on               offense--he's               young,               highly               productive               and               consistent.

    Peterson               led               the               NFL               in               rushing               last               season               with               1,760               yards               on               363               carries,               for               an               average               of               4.8               yards               per               rush,               while               scoring               10               touchdowns.

    Peterson               averaged               a               stellar               110               yards               per               game,               and               his               median               yards               per               game               was               nearly               equal               at               104-demonstrating               that               Peterson               shows               up               to               play               each               game               day.

    The               Vikings               have               one               of               the               best               offensive               lines               in               the               NFL               and               Peterson,               at               age               24,               is               likely               to               have               many               seasons               of               big               statistics               in               his               future.
                   2.

    Maurice               Jones-Drew,               RB,               Jacksonville               Jaguars:               For               the               first               time               in               his               4-year               career,               Jones-Drew               enters               the               2009               season               as               a               premier               back               as               a               result               of               the               Jaguar's               release               of               Fred               Taylor.

    In               2008,               while               sharing               carries               with               Taylor               (143               rushes),               Jones-Drew               rushed               for               824               yards,               on               197               carries,               for               an               average               of               4.2               yards               per               rush,               while               scoring               12               touchdowns.

    As               a               result               of               Taylor's               departure,               Jones-Drew's               numbers               can               be               extrapolated               forward               and               this               demonstrates               that               he               could               potentially               carry               the               ball               340               times,               for               1,428               yards               and               21               touchdowns.

    Not               only               is               Jones-Drew               an               effective               rusher,               but               he               is               also               a               threat               as               a               receiver               out               of               the               backfield.

    In               2008,               he               caught               62               passes               for               565               yards               and               2               touchdowns.

    Over               his               three-year               career,               Jones-Drew               has               averaged               844               rushing               yards               per               season               with               a               median               of               824               yards.

    This               demonstrates               that               Jones-Drew               is               a               consistent               talent.

    Not               unlike               Peterson,               then,               Jones-Drew,               at               24,               is               young,               highly               productive               and               consistent.

    Michael               Turner,               RB,               Atlanta               Falcons:               In               2008,               his               5th               year               as               a               pro,               Turner               had               the               quintessential               breakout               season.

    After               spending               4               years               riding               the               pine               behind               LaDainian               Tomlinson               in               San               Diego,               he               rose               to               the               occasion               in               Atlanta               with               1,699               yards               on               376               carries,               for               an               average               of               4.5               yards               per               carry               and               17               touchdowns.

    At               27,               Turner               is               still               relatively               young               and               since               he               only               carried               the               ball               228               times               in               his               4               years               at               San               Diego,               he               has               not               taken               nearly               as               much               punishment               as               many               of               his               position               peers.

    Turner               is               a               consistent               performer,               averaging               106               yards               per               game               in               2008               with               a               median               per               game               of               100.

    With               a               young               star               QB               like               Matt               Ryan               keeping               defensive               backs               and               linebackers               preoccupied               with               the               pass,               Turner               should               prove               very               productive               in               the               coming               years.
                   4.

    Steven               Jackson,               RB,               St.

    Louis               Rams:               Jackson               is               the               personification               of               a               "proven               commodity".

    In               his               5               NFL               seasons,               Jackson               has               rushed               for               more               than               1,000               yards               in               all               but               his               rookie               campaign,               and               even               then,               he               managed               673               yards.

    In               2008,               Jackson               carried               the               ball               253               times               for               1,042               yards,               for               an               average               of               4.1               yards               and               7               touchdowns.

    Additionally,               he               caught               40               passes               for               379               yards,               for               an               average               of               9.5               yards               per               reception,               and               1               touchdown.

    During               his               career,               Jackson               has               averaged               50               yearly               receptions               and               444               yards               in               average               receiving.

    Although               he               has               maintained               a               heavy               workload               in               his               five               NFL               seasons,               Jackson               is               only               26               years               old               and,               as               a               result               of               adding               Jason               Smith               to               the               offensive               line               during               the               2009               NFL               Draft,               Jackson               should               have               little               trouble               continuing               to               stand               out               at               St.

    Louis               for               enough               years               to               qualify               as               an               obvious               Keeper.
                   5.

    Matt               Forte,               RB,               Chicago               Bears:               Forte               had               a               memorable               rookie               campaign               in               2008,               rushing               for               1,238               yards               on               316               carries,               for               an               average               of               3.9               yards               per               rush               and               8               touchdowns.

    Not               only               was               he               a               workhorse               running               the               ball,               but               Forte               caught               63               passes               for               477               yards               and               4               touchdowns.

    With               the               addition               of               gunslinger,               Jay               Cutler,               at               quarterback,               opposing               defenses               will               be               required               to               respect               the               Bears'               passing               game.

    As               such,               Forte               should               prove               to               be               an               even               bigger               threat               in               coming               years               as               defenses               will               no               longer               have               the               liberty               of               keying               on               him               alone.
                   6.

    Chris               Johnson,               RB,               Tennessee               Titans:               Not               unlike               Matt               Forte,               Johnson               had               an               unforgettable               rookie               season               in               2008               and               was               instrumental               in               leading               the               Titans               to               the               AFC               playoffs.

    Gifted               with               blazing               speed               at               4.24               in               the               40               yard               dash,               Johnson               rushed               for               1,228               yards               on               just               251               carries               for               an               outstanding               4.9               yards               per               carry               and               9               touchdowns.

    Likewise,               he               was               a               tremendous               receiver               out               of               the               backfield,               catching               43               passes               for               260               yards               and               a               touchdown.

    At               23,               his               upside               potential               appears               unlimited               for               many               years               to               come.
                   7.

    Larry               Fitzgerald,               WR,               Arizona               Cardinals:               Fitzgerald               is               the               only               wide-receiver               to               be               included               in               this               list               of               Top               10               Keepers               and               it               is               not               without               good               reason.

    Consider               this--former               San               Francisco               49er               great,               Jerry               Rice,               is               widely               considered               to               be               the               greatest               wide               receiver               to               ever               play               the               game               of               football               and               he               will               no               doubt               be               inducted               into               the               NFL               Hall               of               Fame               on               his               first               ballot               in               2010.

    In               Rice's               first               5               seasons               in               the               NFL               he               caught               346               passes               for               6,364               yards               and               66               touchdowns.

    By               comparison,               in               his               first               5               seasons               in               the               pros,               Fitzgerald               has               caught               426               passes               for               an               equally               impressive               5,975               yards               and               46               touchdowns.

    Nothing               could               be               more               self-evident-Larry               Fitzgerald               is               a               certain               Keeper.
                   8.

    DeAngelo               Williams,               RB,               Carolina               Panthers:               In               just               three               seasons,               Williams               has               racked               up               an               impressive               2,733               rushing               yards               on               just               538               carries               for               a               sensational               5.1               yards               per               carry               and               23               touchdowns.

    In               2008,               Williams               had               a               breakout               season               even               though               he               shared               carries               with               Jonathan               Stewart               who               touched               the               ball               184               times.

    Williams               rushed               the               ball               273               times               for               1,515               yards,               an               amazing               5.5               yards               per               carry,               and               18               touchdowns.

    He               also               contributed               to               the               offense               by               receiving               22               passes               for               121               yards               and               2               touchdowns.

    On               one               hand,               Stewart               cuts               into               Williams'               production,               but               on               the               other               hand,               being               relieved               by               Stewart               is               likely               to               prolong               Williams'               career.

    In               any               case,               Williams'               production               is               outstanding--he               is               a               definite               Top               10               Keeper.
                   9.

    Frank               Gore,               RB,               San               Francisco               49ers:               Since               coming               out               of               the               University               of               Miami               in               2005,               26-year-old               Gore               has               put               up               some               laudable               statistics,               firmly               establishing               himself               as               a               premier               NFL               running               back.

    In               just               4               seasons,               Gore               has               amassed               4,441               yards               on               939               carries,               for               a               praiseworthy               average               of               4.7               yards               per               rush               and               22               touchdowns.

    Last               year,               Gore               carried               the               ball               240               times               for               1,036               yards,               a               4.3               yard               average               per               carry               and               6               touchdowns.

    For               the               last               several               years,               Gore               has               carried               the               49ers               on               his               shoulders               causing               some               Keeper               League               owners               to               be               disquieted               about               his               long-term               durability.

    This               concern               was               largely               addressed               by               the               49ers               in               the               2009               NFL               Draft               when               they               selected               former               University               of               Alabama               standout,               Glen               Coffee,               who               will               spell               Gore               when               necessary.
                   10.

    Drew               Brees,               QB,               New               Orleans               Saints:               Any               Top               10               Keeper               List               for               2009               cannot               be               without               2008's               most               dominant               Fantasy               Football               player.

    The               only               quarterback               to               make               this               year's               list,               Brees               had               a               remarkable               year               in               2008,               completing               413               of               635               passes               for               a               staggering               5,069               yards               and               34               touchdowns               against               only               17               interceptions.

    For               those               who               follow               the               career               of               Brees,               his               2008               performance               was               not               simply               a               matter               of               good               fortune-in               his               7               years               as               a               starter,               Brees               has               averaged               3,720               passing               yards               and               24               touchdowns               against               just               14               interceptions               per               season.

    At               30-years-old,               Brees               remains               several               years               junior               to               accomplished               quarterbacks               Peyton               Manning,               Tom               Brady               and               Donovan               McNabb,               and               is               likely               to               have               many               more               productive               seasons               ahead               of               him.
                   HONORABLE               MENTION:               LaDainian               Tomlinson,               Andre               Johnson,               Tom               Brady,               Randy               Moss,               Calvin               Johnson,               and               Peyton               Manning.
