2011 Fantasy Football Overall Rankings!!

by mahoney1213 on Jun 8, 2011 8:56 PM EDT in 2011 Fantasy Football Position Rankings

Ahh, June, the lovely month that you can take your family to the beach followed by a nice Major League Baseball game (unless you root for the Mets, like me. How are they even considered a team?! Anyway, I digress…) It’s also that time of year where fantasy baseball players decide if their team can go for it all, or if they should sell off studs for prospects. Fortunately (or unfortunately) since I play in multiple leagues, I've had fantasy to keep me occupied while the Mets continue to disappoint me tremendously. However, the only thing missing from the summer is football. For most fantasy footballers the summer months are just a long branch between the Super Bowl and the Preseason. With the uncertainty of the lockout, there is no guarantee a full season, or an entire season for that matter, will even take place. There is one silver lining though: labor talks are entering a very serious negotiating window, so now is the time for the players and the owners to decide if there will be a season...

With labor talks heating up along with the hot summer weather, the time is now to dive into Fantasy Football with the hope that the season will be played. To start off our football analysis here at Fake Teams, we will rank the top 200 fantasy footballers for the (hopefully) upcoming 2011 season. Each article will list 50 players regardless of position, starting with 200 and eventually make its way up through the # 1 player. Once these ranks are complete, we'll begin our football analysis including players to watch for (since the term "sleeper" is near dead), players destined to thrive or fail under new schemes, potential "busts," and individual position ranks in Points Per Reception Formats.

So simply just log on a couple of times a week for the best analysis on the web or even follow us on Twitter to check out the latest football news. I guarantee if there is a season to be played, you will have a championship to be won.

See Rankings #151-200 after the jump...

See rankings and tidbits on each player below. Please keep in mind, rankings subject to change based on any free agent activity. If Kevin Kolb ends up in Arizona, move up Larry Fitzgerald, or if DeAngelo Williams winds up in Denver, knock down Knowshon Moreno a few spots. And so on and so forth. You get the idea. Let's get to it.

Just missed: Every other kicker, Vince Young, Saints D, Willis McGahee, Jason Snelling, Anthony Dixon, Colt McCoy

I only ranked 5 Kickers because they do not have much of an impact on your teams considering the # 1 kicker in the NFL last season kicked 33 FG's while the 12th had 25. The difference of 8 FG's over a full season has minimal impact. My recommendation is to draft a kicker on a high-scoring offense or play one weekly.

151	Danny Woodhead, NE	RB57	The former Jet Fan Favorite broke out for the Patriots last season on both the rushing and receiving end. Tough to tell how many touches he'll get in a crowded backfield, especially with Bill Belichick calling the shots.
152	Davone Bess, MIA	WR56	PPR Monster doesn't reach the end zone enough, but faces single coverage thanks to Brandon Marshall.
153	Baltimore Ravens, BAL	DST4	Ravens D still getting by on that ferocious reputation, but they showed their bark has bite by only allowing 16.9 points last season (3rd in the NFL).
154	Anthony Armstrong, WAS	WR57	Deep-play threat averaged 19.8 yards/catch (3rd in the NFL); if Moss leaves Washington, Armstrong should assume #1 job.
155	Pierre Garcon, IND	WR58	His 2010 season almost mirrored his breakout 2009 season, but Peyton Manning lost trust in Garcon because of his drops. Monitor Austin Collie's health.
156	Eric Decker, Denver	WR59	Coach John Fox said he will give Decker a chance to start alongside Brandon Lloyd in 2011. Sleeper pick.
157	Bernard Scott, CIN	RB58	Bengals' brass doesn't seem to be sold on Scott as an every-down back. However, Cedric Benson is not exactly the epitome of healthy.
158	Rob Gronkowski, NE	TE15	Rookie led all TE's with 10 TD's last season, but he will be tough to rely on as a #1 TE with Hernandez in the mix.
159	Derrick Mason, BAL	WR60	The ageless Mason scored 7 times last year, but failed to eclipse 1000 yards receiving for the first time in 4 years. Will he be back in Baltimore?
160	Atlanta Falcons, ATL	DST5	Underrated D led by Pro Bowler John Abraham showed secondary has bite too with 22 picks in '10.
161	Jacoby Jones, HOU-fa	WR61	I feel like Jones is on sleeper lists every year. He's got all the talent in the world. The question is why can't he over-take Kevin Walter to be the Texans' # 2 WR?
162	Lance Moore, NO-fa	WR62	Drew Brees distributes the ball so much that it's tough to rely on a Saints WR week in and week out. Moore has his moments.
163	Nate Kaeding, SD	K1	Pick a Kicker, any kicker, in the last round. LAST ROUND!
164	Reggie Bush, NO	RB59	Will Bush take a pay cut in order to stay in New Orleans? Crowded backfield will likely limit Bush's touches with Ingram, Thomas and Ivory on board.
165	Darren Sproles, SD-fa	RB60	Ranking depends where Sproles ends up. Sneaky pick in PPR Leagues.
166	Chicago Bears, CHI	DST6	Only allowed 17.9 points per game last season; second in league with 23 forced fumbles.
167	Tony Moeaki, KC	TE16	Got off to a strong start in '10 until the passing game became the Dwayne Bowe Show.
168	Tim Hightower, ARI	RB61	Don't count out Hightower in the Arizona backfield. With the backs in flux, Hightower could steal see time on passing downs.
169	Jonathan Baldwin, KC	WR63	Rookie immediately becomes # 2 WR that Kansas City has been lacking. The Pitt Star should steal targets from Dwayne Bowe.
170	Jacquizz Rodgers, Atl	RB62	Likely not an every-down back due to his height (roughly 5'7"), but could be a nice change of pace back in Atlanta behind Turner.
171	Philadelphia Eagles, PHI	DST7	It will be interesting to see how Eagles do under new Defensive Coordinator Castillo.
172	Andy Dalton, Cin	QB23	Rookie from TCU was high on many teams' draft boards. If given a chance to start in Cincy, he could have quite a few weapons.
173	Donovan McNabb, Was	QB24	Chances are McNabb and his huge bonus end up in another uniform in 2011.
174	Ryan Fitzpatrick, Buf	QB25	Can he repeat surprise 2010 season in Chan Gailey offense? Gailey is known for developing QB's.
175	Carson Palmer, Cin	QB26	Owner Paul Brown is pretty adamant about not trading Palmer. If true, Palmer may retire as he sold his house in Ohio. If Palmer is traded, switch him with Dalton.
176	Jerricho Cotchery, NYJ	WR64	The slick-handed receiver from NY sort of became the Jets' third down specialist in 2010. May move up the ranks depending on where Holmes and Edwards end up.
177	New York Giants, NYG	DST8	Underperforming D last year failed to reach end zone but did have 46 sacks.
178	Jason Campbell, Oak	QB27	Lost his job to Bruce Gradowski at one point last season; no true upside, but Oakland could have a surprisingly good offense in 2011.
179	Kendall Hunter, SF	RB63	Former All-American will fight for carries with Anthony Dixon as Frank Gore's backup. With Gore's injury, may be an intriguing sleeper pick.
180	San Diego Chargers, SD	DST9	Tied for second in the league in sacks and led the NFL in yards allowed/game.
181	Jared Cook, TEN	TE17	Tremendous upside, needs to emerge from Bo Scaife's shadow.
182	Marion Barber, DAL	RB64	Barber most likely done in Dallas; may latch on somewhere as platoon back. Best days are behind him.
183	Lee Evans, BUF	WR65	Evans became # 2 WR in Buffalo as Stevie Johnsom emerged out of seemingly nowhere to become Ryan Fitzpatrick's favorite target. Evans has all the talent in the world.
184	Jordan Todman, SD	RB65	Big East player of the year will back up Ryan Matthews and possibly Mike Tolbert in SD. Sneaky upside.
185	Rob Bironas, TEN	K2	Pick a Kicker, any kicker, in the last round. LAST ROUND!
186	Neil Rackers, HOU	K3	Pick a Kicker, any kicker, in the last round. LAST ROUND!
187	Roy Williams, DAL	WR66	Could be the most talented # 3 WR in the league, but not enough targets to go around in pass-happy Dallas offense.
188	Donald Driver, GB	WR67	Succumbed to injuries last season; may be slowly phased out by rising stars Jordy Nelson and James Jones.
189	Earl Bennett, Chi	WR68	Offensive Coordinator Mike Martz believes Bennett will become his former teammate Jay Cutler's # 1 receiver this season.
190	Toby Gerhart, MIN	RB66	May not ever replicate the immense success he had at Stanford, but is a handcuff for every AP owner.
191	Ben Watson, CLE	TE18	Browns' leading receiver in 2010 emerged as the TE the Patriots thought they had. Became Colt McCoy's safety valve.
192	Nate Burleson, DET	WR69	With many weapons in a suddenly-loaded Detroit offense, Burleson may lose targets to T. Young, M. Leshoure, Jahvid Best, Megatron and Brandon Pettigrew
193	Titus Young, DET	WR70	Boise State's all-time leading receiver should have a role on the young Detroit offense, but be weary of Rookie WR's
194	Aaron Hernandez, NE	TE19	Hernandez had a few big games in 2010, but slowly gave way to Rob Gronkowski as the season went on.
195	New England Patriots, NE	DST10	Despite giving up 367 passing yards/game and boasting one of the worst passing defenses in the league, the Pats only gave up 19.6 Points per game last season.
196	Garrett Hartley, NO	K4	Pick a Kicker, any kicker, in the last round. LAST ROUND!
197	David Akers, PHI	K5	Pick a Kicker, any kicker, in the last round. LAST ROUND!
198	Cam Newton, CAR	QB28	The # 1 overall pick should beat out Jimmy Clausen, who looked downright awful last season. Could Newton become a Vince Young-type QB (without the poor attitude)?
199	Jake Locker, TEN	QB 29	Locker may start at some point in 2011. Free Agent Kerry Collins may not re-sign. Titans might look for a veteran presence to start during 2011 while Locker learns the offense.
200	Dexter McCluster, KC	WR71	The 2010 second round pick played in 11 games in 2010 and had a minimal impact. Look for the improved Chiefs offense to spread the ball around under an improved Matt Cassel .
