Get them now!
I thought it would be cool to post and continually update an ideal team comprised only of players I am really feeling right now as breakout/value types. You can call this my all “Get their ass on your team this year” team.
1st Team:
QB: Tom Brady
RB: Michael Turner
RB: Ryan Mathews
WR: Randy Moss
WR: Calvin Johnson
WR: Johnny Knox
TE: Jermichael Finley
And while I’m at it….
2nd Team
QB: Kevin Kolb
RB: Jahvid Best
RB: Ahmad Bradshaw
WR: Greg Jennings
WR: Miles Austin
WR: Jeremy Maclin
TE: Zach Miller
And while I’m at it still…
Sleepers Only:
QB: Joe Flacco (ok, maybe Matthew Stafford is a better “sleeper”)
RB: Arian Foster
RB: Justin Forsett
WR: Mike Williams (TB)
WR: Lance Moore
WR: Brandon Tate
TE: John Carlson
Note: These aren’t rankings, but more like tiers of guys I’m excited about. I don’t have Andre Johnson here, for example, but I would like you to “get his ass” on your team if you it’s feasible.
That CJ2K/MJD lineup would be CRAZY good! Wayne should have a good year, but w/ Anthony Gonzalez back in the fold, not to mention Clark, Garcon, & Collie, I think Wayne might see a slight dip in production. However, he is still the #1 guy in a very potent offense. Jennings will be very good (again), so he would definitely be worthy. Some others (like I mentioned in earlier posts) that you could snap up later could be Jabbar Gaffney, Malcolm Floyd, or Mohamed Massaquoi and get production out of them. Welker looks like he never was injured. He has had an amazing recovery and looks poised to have a good year. I don’t think the gamble for him would be huge. Bottom line, dig a little more on MJD, but I think he will produce similar to his lofty status and if you think you can get some of the players back that you mentioned, then go that route.
I just have to say that I got Finley in the 8th Round in my draft (10 teams). I had selected D.Clark early, so I didn’t want another TE pick. But, I just couldn’t pass on him one more time in the 8th. I may be starting Clark as my TE and Finley as my RB/WR/TE Flex spot.

Good call on that. I am a HUGE Finley supporter and see Rodgers getting him involved early and often…
I draft Monday night and would love to see these “got to have” teams tweaked one more time. Thanks!
