Overrated - Part 1

  • Player A - 3440 yards, 16 TD, 11 Int, 87.7 rating.
  • Player B - 3245 yards, 13 TD, 6 Int, 84.3 rating.

 

Not sure how many of these I'll do, but I'm going to post a list of overrated players going into this fantasy football season. Above is a comparison of two players, 1 is the overrated guy, while the other is a guy who everyone thinks stinks.

Guesses?

Player A is Matt Ryan. Yeah, he only threw 16 TD's last year. How do you think Michael Turner got all those carries?

Player B is Jason Campbell, going undrafted in most leagues (except around DC, and the Campbell family fantasy league).

Would you draft Jason Campbell in front of Donovan McNabb, Matt Shaub, Jay Cutler, Ben Roethlisberger, Carson Palmer, and Matt Hasselbeck? If you answered yes, you're officially invited to my league.

I realize Ryan had a great rookie year and has a promising future, but having a great year as a rookie, doesn't mean having a good fantasy season. In fact, he finished 20th among QB's last year, behind David Garrard, Jason Campbell, and Chad Pennington. And now, believe it or not there's an owner in my league keeping him for more money than Aaron Rodgers, at $15.

Be careful with Matt Ryan. Just because Chris Berman likes him, doesn't mean your fantasy team will.
