My (REVISED) Fantasy Football Draft Rankings

*one of my leagues is an auto-draft and the switch is being flipped today, so I took advantage of the weekend to do a little tweaking. You will notice that I've dropped TEs to the bottom of my rank order. My feeling is, if you don't get either Antonio Gates or Tony Gonzalez, then TE is about as worthless a fantasy position as you can find. Hell, there were 23 kickers who had over 100 fantasy points last season, compared to 7 TEs.

My other two leagues have their live draft this Sunday night (wonderful idea, BTW, to hold 4 hours of drafting over the Labor Day weekend. Christ!)

excluded from my draft rankings:
Michael Vick - has an pressing engagement with the Georgia Department of Corrections in 2007-2008
Jake Plummer - decided to leave football rather than play for Tampa Bay. He was good friends with the late Pat Tillman and I hope he devotes some of his time to helping the Tillman family in their quest for the truth about how their son died.
Isaac Bruce - a near Hall of Fame career, but he is way past his prime
Priest Holmes - PUP (Physically Unable to Perform).
Curtis Martin - retired

Santonio Holmes is better than that. Coach Timlin has already said he wants to air it out this season, and with Hines Ward as the sure-handed possession receiver, Santonio is the deep threat. If Big Ben has time, looks for Holmes to catch 12+ touchdowns and gobble up big yardage.

see...this is why I consistently finish in the 2nd division in my league. Thanks for the insight!
