Here's something to help get your wheels turning in preparation for your fantasy football draft. After devouring every podcast, scanning the mock draft results over on Fantasy Football Calculator's ADP tool and reading piece after piece of fantasy football information over the past few weeks, I have started to compile a list of players who I - and other poeple in the know - think will either provide great value in your fantasy football draft or simply come out of nowhere to help out your squad.
So here they are, a few players who are not getting a ton of respect... which is fine when they are falling to you.
Quarterbacks
Mark Bulger QB (STL) - Last year his line was hammered and then so was he. They Rams lost a few o-line starters for the entire season - including the All-Pro left tackle Orlando Pace - and there was only one man who started 16 games on the line - each at different position.
He has been the 12th QB taken which mean poeple are forgetting that just a year ago - with a healthy line - he was considered top 6. That equals value. You could stock up running backs and receivers when you can get a QB A guy like this later in the draft.
With a healthy line and a suspect defense expect the Rams offense to bounce back and be required to score often.
More...
Jake Delhomme Q (CAR) - If his shoulder holds up - and there is no reason to think it won't at this point - Jake offers tremendous value being the 14th QB taken on average. His line will be healthy, he has Steve Smith, old reliable Moose and newcomer D.J. Hackett. All of which should be able to help him get into the swing of things.
Runningbacks
Thomas Jone RB (NYJ) - An upgraded line and weak schedule versus the run could equal a return to the top ten for Thomas Jones this year. He is getting up there in age but the man has some pride. I don't think it is a stretch for him to go over 1000 yards and pick up 10+ TD's this year and getting production like that in the 4th or 5th round is a pretty good deal.
And thats not all, there are still a few more runningbacks, some wide recievers, a tight end and a defense for you to check out. Stop by my blog and check out the rest of my fantasy football value picks and sleepers post.
