I'm surprised to see Frank Gore still ranked so low at #11 behind Cedric Benson, Thomas Jones, heck even Stephen Jackson.

Posted Nov 6, 2009 8:55pm EST

The one guy that I use as my bench-mark is Ryan Grant. Like 2 weeks ago, he was #27. He goes berserk against CLE (no one saw that coming) and jumps to (as I recall) 12 (I won't even discuss how many spaces Addai jumped to get to 12). Grant gets shut down by MIN (again, no one saw that coming??) and he is #21. I lay odds that after he plays TB on Sunday, he jumps 6 spots at least. I will gladly keep plugging him in week-after-week. My league scoring he is #13 and that is about what I would expect for the rest of the season. Not saying I don't appeciate the rankings, but don't think you can take them as anything other than just another opinion. Oh and be prepared for a 10 point leap from Slaton after 140 total yards v Indy.

Ratteree seems to love Mike Thomas. Why isn't he on here ?

I have Gates and Heath Miller and a couple of guys are desperate for TE help and I need a receiver. One guy is offering me Sims-Walker (or Syd Rice) for Gates and another guy Crabtree (or Mike Wallace) for Miller. Thoughts?

I don't think Chambers will effect Bowe's rank. I'd place Bowe around 18th.
This ranking sheet is one of my favorite tools on this site. It's very thought provoking for me. I like studying it and coming up with players I think should be higher/lower and then researching more and learn a lot more about that player than I knew before. Whether it's SOS, touches, etc.. the process I go thru with it boosts my knowledge every week. More so when I rank seems out of place in my head at 1st glance.

speaking of Bowe, how will his rank be affected by the additionn of Chris Chambers? maybe a downward arrow?

Okay, here's a question since the TE situation isn't always clear: Have Heap and Fred Davis, should I drop Heap or maybe Devery Henderson for Zach Miller avail on waivers? Love to hear your opinion, thanks!

I agree about Witten. Seriously? So you would recommend trading Witten for Jermichael Finley? Also, Chris Johnson should be top 5 and Steve Smith (CAR) is way too low at 31.

Seriously

Just some thoughts, not saying I don't appreciate the work that goes into this list. (Hey, if I am only puzzled about a couple of things that means that the rest of the rankings are cool, eh?)...

Witten below Finley and Watson? I just don't see it. Witten is still getting targetted, so there is hope at least. I understand droping him to, say number 10, but 14?

And what is the deal with WR Bowe? Week after week he is somewhere between 10 and 15, which means he is a very solid number 2 in a 10-12 team league, but I just can't see him as anythng but a number 3 WR.

Looks like the WR rnaks need to be resorted around 20-22.
