2011 Fantasy Football Rankings Part II

Part II of IV of the Fantasy Football Rankings are after the jump. Let's hope the sequel generates more traffic and comments from everyone. I know people are concerned with Anthony Rizzo being called up, and Brett Lawrie's MLB debut being delayed another 3 weeks, but come on people! Football is (could be?) almost around the corner!

Check out the rankings below...

101	Santana Moss, WAS	WR39	Career-high 93 catches last season, but may not re-sign with Washington. If he does, push the other Washington WR's down a few ranks.
102	Ronnie Brown, MIA	RB40	Averaged only 3.7 yards per carry (easily a career-low) in 2-back system with Ricky Williams. Likely to latch on elsewhere. Keep an eye on him.
103	Jimmy Graham, NO	TE8	Will provide Drew Brees a huge red-zone threat. Even scored 5 TD's in his rookie season splitting reps with Daniel Graham and Jeremy Shockey, the latter which was released in the off-season.
104	Jerome Simpson, CIN	WR40	Will start for Cincy in 2011 if Ochocinco does not return. Interesting pick as his coach loves him.
105	Montario Hardesty, CLE	RB41	Likely would have started in 2010 if not for ACL Surgery. Instead Peyton Hillis broke out, but in 2011 both backs should split reps evenly to avoid being over-worked.
106	Owen Daniels, HOU	TE9	Daniels admits he came back from ACL Surgery too soon, which limited his production in 2010. Bet on a bounceback in 2011.
107	Marcedes Lewis, JAC	TE10	Pro Bowl TE went off last season with career highs in receptions, yards and touchdowns (10 - tied for the lead amongst TE's). Needs to prove he's not a one-season wonder.
108	Mike Williams, SEA	WR41	BMW enjoyed a nice break-out season becoming the Seahawks' #1 WR. Will be interesting to see who his QB is in 2011.
109	Kellen Winslow, TB	TE11	Keep an eye on Winslow's knee, but when healthy, he's as talented as any Tight End in the NFL.
110	Beanie Wells, ARI	RB42	Wells was pretty much useless last season. In turn, the Cardinals drafted Ryan Williams in 2011. Perhaps this will push the injury-prone Wells to thrive in his 3rd season.
111	Pittsburgh Steelers, PIT	DST1	#1 Defense in the league tops in the league with 14.5 points/allowed - their run D was ridiculous. 62.8 yards per game - are you kidding me?
112	Emmanuel Sanders, PIT	WR42	Poised to become # 2 WR in dynamic Steelers offense.
113	Robert Meachem, NO	WR43	It feels as if Meachem has been expected to break out for an eternity now. The problem is Brees spreads the ball to all of his receivers. However, Meachem is probably the most-talented WR on the team. Colston's knee scope may give way to Meachem to become the #1.
114	Mike Tolbert, SD	RB43	FB convert bulldozed his way to 11 TD's as he took over for Ryan Matthews. Expect Matthews to start at RB in 2011, but Tolbert will continue to be a part of the game plan.
115	Hines Ward, PIT	WR44	Will likely give way to Sanders as the # 2 WR as he had his worst full-season since 2000.
116	Rashad Jennings, JAC	RB44	Jennings showed glimpses of brilliance in his rookie season as a more than capable back up of MJD.
117	Brandon Jacobs, NYG	RB45	Averaged career-high 5.6 yards per carry last season, will play similar role to 2010 season with Ahmad Bradshaw in the fold.
118	Matt Cassel, KC	QB17	Incredibly efficient in 2010 with 27:7 TD to Interception Ratio. Can he repeat his performance with the difficult schedule in 2011?
119	Brandon Pettigrew, DET	TE12	Pettigrew had better numbers with Stafford's backups at the helm, so be cautious.
120	Mike Goodson, CAR	RB46	Should split carries with Jonathan Stewart if DeAngelo Williams leaves via free agency. Goodson is a great receiver, a skill Stewart lacks.
121	Julio Jones, ATL	WR45	Rumbles in Atlanta are that he lookes recovered from foot surgery and should make an immediate impact alongside Roddy White.
122	Shane Vereen, NE	RB47	Best all-around back in NE will alternate with BJGE and Danny Woodhead in 2011.
123	Green Bay Packers, GB	DST2	Defending Champs' defense almost as dominant as their powerful offense last season: Top-2 in Points allowed, interceptions and sacks.
124	Mike Sims-Walker, JAC	WR46	Fragile WR wants to play for Miami, but tough to say if the feeling is mutual.
125	Kyle Orton, Den	QB18	Slowed down towards the end of 2010 after tremendous start to the season. Will he or won't he be dealt?
126	Plaxico Burress, FA	WR47	Where will he sign? Will having been in prison for the last 20 months have any impact on his playing shape? Keep a close eye on where he ends up.
127	Jacoby Ford, OAK	WR48	Played out of his mind in second half of 2010. Coach Hue Jackson loves him. Nice breakout pick.
128	Tashard Choice, DAL	RB48	More than likely will split carries with DeMarco Murray and Felix Jones. Talented back is best-suited to play elsewhere in 2011.
129	Ben Tate, HOU	RB49	Fractures his fibula and missed his entire rookie season. Texans drafted him in 2010 to be starter. Will back up Arian Foster.
130	New York Jets, NYJ	DST3	Rex Ryan's nasty D needs to maintain Antonio Cromartie in order to solidify this ranking.
131	LaDainian Tomlinson, NYJ	RB50	Essentially conceded the starting job to Shonn Greene, but will still play heavily on passing downs.
132	Greg Little, Cle	WR49	Rookie from North Carolina will step in and immediately become the Browns' # 1 WR. Needs to fend off Brian Robiskie and Mohamed Massaquoi. Sleeper pick.
133	Ricky Williams, MIA	RB51	Splitting carries with Ronnie Brown last season rendered Williams near-useless. If the Free Agent latches on elsewhere, could be a sneaky pick.
134	Mark Sanchez, NYJ	QB19	Jets' loosened the reigns a little bit last season, but still only averaged a little over 200 yards/game. Expect more improvement in 2011.
135	Tim Tebow, Den	QB20	Showed glimpses of stardom towards the end of 2010 filling in for Kyle Orton. Will Orton stay in Denver?
136	Thomas Jones, KC	RB52	Split carries with Jamaal Charles last season, but Charles was so dominant that I expect Charles to take over in 2011.
137	Joe McKnight, NYJ	RB53	Had only 7 carries until the season finale when he erupted for 158 yards against Buffalo. Coach Rex Ryan envisions McKnight playing a pivotal role in the offense this season. We'll see…
138	Dustin Keller, NYJ	TE13	Got off to hot start scoring 5 times in the first 4 games, but gave way to Santonio Holmes and Braylon Edwards as season went on. Mark Sanchez' improvement can only bode well for Keller.
139	Chris Ivory, NO	RB54	Likely to split carries with Pierre Thomas and Mark Ingram, thus possibly becoming 3rd-string back in that NO Offense.
140	Tony Gonzalez, ATL	TE14	Oh how the mighty have fallen. Future Hall of Famer not targeted as often last season finishing with the fewest receiving yards since his second year in the league. With Julio Jones in Atlanta, TG likely to see fewer balls.
141	Kevin Kolb, Phi	QB21	Was supposed to break through in 2010 until the Michael Vick Experience took over. Likely to be traded. Current ranking is pure speculation assuming he starts elsewhere.
142	Danario Alexander, STL	WR50	Alexander led the NCAA in receiving yards in 2009 and was a first-team All American, however he went undrafted due to knee surgery. The same knee hampered him in his rookie year. Has all the talent in the world.
143	DeLone Carter, IND	RB55	Carter should overtake Donald Brown as Joseph Addai's backup in 2011. The rookie from Syracuse is a great runner through the tackles, but he is raw in the passing game.
144	David Garrard, Jac	QB22	Garrard set a career high last year with 23 TD passes and 5 rushing touchdowns, but he has Blaine Gabbert breathing down his neck. Best suited as a backup QB on your roster.
145	Leonard Hankerson, WAS	WR51	Rookie from the U has a chance to be a major impact in Washington. Likely to start alongside Anthony Armstrong if Santana Moss leaves.
146	DeMarco Murray, DAL	RB56	Injury-prone rookie from Oklahoma has outside chance of claiming Dallas starting job, but with Tashard Choice and Felix Jones on board, it remains a headache.
147	Deion Branch, NE	WR52	Branch provided to be more than an admirable Randy Moss fill-in when traded from Seattle to NE. Could put up solid numbers in full season with Tom Brady.
148	Mark Clayton, StL	WR53	Season-ending knee injury and surgery drops Clayton down on boards, but he was Bradford's # 1 target. Risk/Reward.
149	Steve Breaston, Ari	WR54	Cardinals' #2 WR had a relatively quiet season in '10, but can you blame him with the likes of Derek Anderson and Max Hall throwing the ball?
150	James Jones, GB	WR55	Either he or Jordy Nelson should step up to become the # 2 Receiver in Green Bay. Each WR alternated big games in 2010.
