2011 Fantasy Football PPR Heroes

Aug 26, 2011

.
I must admit that I’m not much of a fan of PPR leagues. To me you are rewarding players for doing what they are supposed to do. Catching 8 passes for 50 yards to me is not more valuable than three catches for 90 yards.
.
That said, I am in a couple of PPR leagues this year so I must adjust. Here are some players that get extra PPR love.
.
Danny Amendola, St. Louis Rams: The Rams slot receiver not only has a firm grip on the Rams’ slot receiver gig, but he played a full season with Sam Bradford so he has a great rapport.
.
Davone Bess, Miami Dolphins: Bess not only had his second straight 75+ reception season, but he actually found his way into the end zone five times, which further boosted his value. He’s another solid slot receiver.
.
Benjamin Watson, Cleveland Browns: Colt McCoy isn’t known for his strong arm, but he is well-suited for the Browns’ West Coast Offense. Watson is a solid TE2 in PPR leagues because he is going to get a lot of looks.
.
Lance Moore, New Orleans Saints: Moore bounced back with 66 catches last year and should be in store for more with Reggie Bush gone and Marques Colston not at full strength.
.
Darren Sproles, New Orleans Saints: Sproles caught 59 passes last year with the Chargers and should see plenty of looks replacing Reggie Bush.
.
Mike Williams, Seattle Seahawks: It won’t be long before Seattle figures out what everybody in Minnesota already knows. T-Jack is terrible. It will be back to Check Down Charlie Whitehurst and Big Mike should see plenty of looks.
.
Mario Manningham, New York Giants: With Steve Smith moving on to Philadelphia Manningham figures to see a nice uptick in targets.

Love Amendola & Moore in PPR leagues. I’ve been drafting them like crazy. Why take the risky guys (Colston, MSW) when you can get a piece of the offense that you know is going to produce 3 or 4 rounds later?

Great points Alex. Though I do have a thing for MSW. He’s not getting drafted real high and I think he has some great potential.
