My apologies for getting these picks up, but I have been absolutely swamped of late. The following are my fantasy football picks for the 2011 NFL Season and I have divided each skill position into both the players overall rank (i.e. what position they will finish the year) and the a value rank (if you are doing an auction league the player that will give you the most bang for your buck). I have also included some of my sleepers and busts for the year.
Enjoy and Please Gamble Responsibly…

MY FANTASY TEAM
In case anyone is interested, the following is my fantasy team. As usual I tried to put the most value in the air, but luckily for me while were over bidding for guys like Hakeem Nicks and Mike Vick I was lucky enough to put my money into a quality ground game as well. Feels like a good year (even better than last year when I was far an way the best team in the league with a perfect record and the league high in points until sadly Tony Romo and Antonio Gates went down…things were never the same although I ended up 4th out of 14 still and second in points).
QB –P. Rivers
WR1- V. Jackson
WR2- D. Bryant
WR3- Wes Welker
RB1-Ahmad Bradshaw
RB2-Peyton Hillis
TE- Jason Whitten
K-Mason Crosby
D-Jon Beason (although I am probably swapping him out due to injury)
D-Clay Matthews
DB-Yeriimiah Bell (sp?)
DL-Jared Allen
Bench1-Nate Washington
Bench2-Roy Helu-
Bench 3-Tashard Choice
Bench 4-Montario Hardesty
Bench 5-Ryan Fitzpatrick
Lastly, I also joined a $25.00 loaded salary league on www.rosterdoc.com, and once the season has begun I’ll post my players…
Enjoy the Season
