movement in our rankings<\/a><\/strong> due to injuries, retirements or non-retirements, and some coach speak.<\/p>\nLet\u2019s start with Mr Favre.\u00a0 We have moved him to the bottom of the ranking as even if he plays it sound like health may be a concern so right now Brett is dead to me and my rankings.<\/p>\n
The biggest downgrade this week is Sidney Rice, which is based on 2 issues one of which is Brett Favre and the 2nd<\/sup> and most important is he is not healthy and had 2 Dr\u2019s say he should have hip surgery.\u00a0 We had a few other players downgraded as well:<\/p>\n\n- Chad Ocho Cinco-\u00a0 There is only 1 ball and TO will need\/want it some of the time<\/li>\n
- Anquan Boldin-\u00a0 While he looks somewhat healthy, I am concerned about his age<\/li>\n
- Vicente Shiancoe-He was Favre\u2019s favorite red zone receiver<\/li>\n
- Julius Jones-\u00a0 He is running 2nd<\/sup> team at best, there is no way he is the feature back this year<\/li>\n
- Owen Daniels-Has not recovered by his ACL surgery, is very iffy for opening day<\/li>\n
- Ben Tate-\u00a0 He is out of the mix for carries and running 3rd<\/sup> string<\/li>\n
- Nate Washington-He continues to be injured-look elsewhere at the end of the draft<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The biggest risers we have this week is led by Arian Foster who has gotten the support to be the #1 RB in Houston by their coach Gary Kubiak.\u00a0\u00a0 He finished the year very well and can flourish in this system on a FT basis.\u00a0\u00a0 Here are some other players who have risen in my draft rankings;<\/p>\n
\n- Javid Best-\u00a0 All reports have been he will be the FT 3 down back, Smith is off a ACL so the Lions have no real other option<\/li>\n
- Kevin Kolb-\u00a0 More great reports coming out of Philly and with their shaky running attack and pass 1st<\/sup> style Kolb would be a solid value in the mid rounds<\/li>\n
- Justin Forsett- While a lot of his yardage came in garbage time last year, he is the guy in Seattle and another case of not having much competition.\u00a0 He was also a FT back at Cal and can handle the load<\/li>\n
- Cadillac Williams- He is a solid #1 right now since this staff does not seem to like Derrick Ward.\u00a0 He can be a solid #3 back as he is now 2 years off of surgery<\/li>\n
- Malcolm Floyd-\u00a0 With Jackson out he is the #1 and put up solid stats in limited chances last year<\/li>\n
- Early Doucet-\u00a0 He is looking like the #2 Wr and finished last year with almost 20 yards in 2 playoff games, could be a end of draft sleeper<\/li>\n
- Legedu Naanee-\u00a0 He is looking like the #2 is a very pass happy offense<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
We have also provided auction values based on a 10 team league with $100 salary Cap.<\/p>\n
Our draft rankings will be updated throughout pre-season as situations change in the NFL so please continue to check back for updates and two articles a week during the season.<\/p>\n
