Heres a clip from an ESPN.com insider article, I would post it all but its exceptionally long. Here is the parts we need to see:
PS. How is 950 yds out of your starting running back 1st round-production (see: this guy loves Willis).

Players I Love
Matt Leinart (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=7759')), QB, ARI: It's not just rugged good looks or the first name that Mr. Leinart and I have in common. We both have to run really fast and try to get rid of whatever we're holding when large men are chasing us. For me, it's usually my wallet, girlfriend or dignity. But luckily for Matt and his owners, it's a football and he's fairly accurate. Especially with targets like Anquan Boldin (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=6390')) and Larry Fitzgerald (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=6762')).
Anquan Boldin, WR, ARI: Here are three stats: 11.1; 13.7; 14.5. Those are Boldin's average-per-reception numbers for the last three years. He'll go lower than Fitz but have the better year.
J.J. Arrington (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=7220')) and Marcel Shipp (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=5763')), RBs, ARI: You know who has loyalty to Edgerrin James (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=4652'))? Dennis Green. You know who is no longer there? Same answer. Whoever wins the backup gig to James in training camp is very much worth a flyer in deep leagues.
Jerious Norwood (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=7828')), RB, ATL: Allow me to be the first to use the "Dunn is done" pun. Thank you. Thank you very much. Tip your waitresses. Please drive safely.
Willis McGahee (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=6359')), RB, BAL: First-round production you can get in the second round.
Mark Clayton (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=7198')), WR, BAL: The third date and the third year of a wide receiver's career. Both lead to a lot of hope and promise, and when they pan out, smiles are all around. Expect lots of scoring here. For Clayton. And sure, your dating. Preseason is the time for optimism.
The Ravens D: One of only two defenses worth drafting before the last round.
Marshawn Lynch (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=8266')), RB, BUF: A-Train is A-Backup.
Lee Evans (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=6772')), WR, BUF: Here are three numbers: 9, 7, 8. Here's another one: 5. Here's a fifth: 2. Let's put those numbers in perspective. The first numbers are the total touchdowns Evans has scored in his last three seasons, all with unreliable quarterbacks throwing him the ball. The fourth number? Only five wide receivers had more receiving yards than Lee did last year. And finally, there are only two wide receivers (Roy Williams (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=6766')) and Joey Galloway (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=3135'))) who had over 1,000 yards receiving last year and whose yards-per-catch average was higher than Evans' 15.8. Those who play in leagues with points for long touchdowns should be even more excited about Evans than I am, because he continues to be underrated.



Players I Hate
Edgerrin James, RB, ARI: See McAllister, Deuce.
Mike Vick, QB, ATL: Arf, arf.
Joe Horn (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=3646')), WR, ATL: The football equivalent of Big Fat Bartolo Colon. No matter what the list of hate is, he's on it. Been a while since we've seen any cell-phone-like antics, hasn't it? It's not that he's grown up, it's that he doesn't score any more touchdowns.
Warrick Dunn (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=3893')), RB, ATL: Just wished he scored. Or didn't wear down in the second half. Or have Jerious Norwood on his team.
Steve McNair (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=3114')), QB, BAL: McNair? McNope.
J.P. Losman (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=6781')), QB, BUF: Some people have him as a sleeper this year. Some people are dumb.

This guy disappointed me. Hes talking up Evans and Lynch, then craps on Losman. YOU KNOW WHAT MATTHEW BERRY?! YOU ARE THE DUMB ONE!

Larry Johnson, RB, KC: Look, he's great, OK? Still a first-round pick, no doubt. But I have my concerns, and I bet he doesn't wind up on any of my teams this year. He has over 825 touches the past two seasons. His 4.3 YPC average last year is mediocre. He lost Will Shields (javascript:newWin('http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/fantasy?statsId=2445')) from an already aging offensive line. He's talking holdout, Herm Edwards has said he wants to limit his touches, and take a look at that schedule. Strong run defenses in Chicago, Minnesota, San Diego and Jacksonville in the first five weeks. Plus Denver twice and San Diego again in Week 13, when you're trying to get into the playoffs. I'm sure he'll be awesome. Just not on my team.





This is what he says about LJ, with his mediocre 4.3 yd average. Tell me again how Willis' 3.8 yd average, not to mention his eye-popping 6 TDs, makes him 1st round-worthy?
