Fantasy Football Top 200

Welcome back to an updated preseason Top 200 from Fantasy Mike. We have had a lot of changes since ourt 1st of of the season a few weeks ago, here are a few highlights:

Ryan Mathews– Made of Teflon, seems to never be able to stay healthy, still should be at least a 4^th rounder while missing 1-2 games.

Maurice Jones Drew– With no end in the holdout I expect him to drop further.

Trent Richardson– With his 2nd knee surgery in the last 6 months that is a huge red flag for me.

Steven Jackson– He continues to move up while the clear #1 RB’s drop like flies, plus he gets to be in the run 1^st Fisher offense.

Brandon Lloyd– He is having an awesome camp and has had his greatest success with Josh McDaniels.

Doug Martin– Tampa will be a run 1st offense like our Rams and this guy will flourish while already being compared to Ray Rice.

Percy Harvin– He was a top 5 receiver the last 7 weeks last year and has been able to stay healthy so far this camp.

Mike Wallace– He is another holdout who will continue to drop while his team puts in the new offensive system.

Stevie Johnson– Not a flashy name but with a healthy Fitzpatrick he will eclispse last year’s solid numbers.

Antonio Gates– If you do not get Jimmy Graham, I would recommend a finally healthy Gates around the 6th round.

Reggie Wayne– He had a pretty solid year with the worst QB’s in the league last year, expect a lot of all passing second halves for the Colts.

Jay Cutler– With him getting Jeremy Bates and Brandon Marshall back, I expect a top 8 year.

Stevan Ridley– He looks to fill the Ellis role in the Pats offense, ran well and looks to be the in between tackles and goal line RB.

Kevin Smith– The fastest mover in my list, Best is out until who knows when, Leshoure is suspended and when Smith started last year he played quite well and is now injury free.

Cedric Benson-He has landed in the perfect spot in Green Bay, fills a huge role as the goal line, time killing running back.

Carson Palmer– He averaged over 280 yards per game in the last month of the season last year, now has a full off season, great guy to target for QB2 especially if you draft a QB like Vick.

I will post weekly updates to the below list and continue to highlight the biggest movers!
