Friday Fantasy Tipsheet: Saturday edition

I promised the Friday Fantasy Tipsheet yesterday, because, you know, it was Friday. I didn't plan on the Biblical deluge that swept through the city, closing streets and making my yard into a rice paddy. It was a mess. My heart goes out to the folks in Iowa and the rest of the upper Midwest suffering through an even worse monsoon. 

On to drier things. 

So much for Steven Jackson being a sleeper in fantasy leagues this season. After coming across this Yahoo! ranking earlier in the week, that puts him at #3, with some cognitive dissonance making #4 on a few lists, I decided to take a quick, unscientific survey of where others are ranking Jackson. 

CBS Sportsline ranks him #3. This one seems to be the outlier, putting SJ in the 5th spot. Obviously Adrian Peterson is the new "it" guy, with good reason, the Vikings have a top notch o-line and the kid's faster than a...uh...insert an analogy here. So Jackson's not a steal, but while the top two picks grapple over Peterson and LT, know that Jackson could be at least as productive as either of those two, a #1 pick in the #3 spot. 

Let's continue on with the ranks. Marc Bulger sits at #9 on the CBS list and 10th overall at Yahoo!

What I like about the Jackson and Bulger rankings, as a Rams fan (Bulger could be the real steal in your ff league), is the confidence pundits seem to have in the Rams offensive line. It's been all good news out of mini  camp and OTAs thus far, and that's as good a place as you can hope to be a month and half before intensity picks up a bit.

Don't kid yourselves

Jackson is the best running back in the NFL by far. LT can’t even come close. When he made the 2007 prediction, he wasn’t being cocky, he was being truthfull. If he was with dallas, ne, sd, etc., with thier offensive lines, oh, my. No injury.

This year, we will have the ofensive line. We have a new Offensive coach. This year, we will have a good defense.

Super bowl, here we come! Hell, we have the best team in football!

Angels Defense. Angels Pitching. Get past that. :-[

between the receiving yards

and the rushing yards, it’s not pure homerism to say Jackson could easily be the best RB in the league this year.

Fantasy-wise, i’d be worried about how much work LT’s been carrying the last few years.
