rice is ranked 3rd but has 7pts projected,
mendenall 6th but has 17 pts projected
mendenall is last of my 4 rbs here and first in predictions

same thing with roddy white who has 12 pts but is ranked 1st
welker is ranked 6th and has 21 pts

can u do the article that compares you differing opinions before noon, just a quick note of the big differences

thanks

The predictions sheets have cotchery, mike jenkins and donald driver all at 30 yards. Since you have Driver ranked highest, is it your view he's the best start this week of the 3 wr's? Also, don't you think Gronkowski eats up the jets lb's? I'm surprised at the 20 yrd prediction??

Thoms - Starks now has exactly one decent pro game to his credit, against a mediocre at best run defense, and as of right now he and I are tied in NFL touchdowns. This week he'll face a top-five run D; the rankings represent my belief that Green Bay will not have the same success running the ball this week and will be in more passing situations, so Jackson (who actually scored last week) will be on the field more and likely be more productive as well.

Brokers - two outcomes this time:
Most weighted: PIT/ATL/CHI/NE in division round, ATL/NE in conference championship
Least weighted: PIT/GB/CHI/NE in division round, CHI/PIT in conference championship

Doesn't mean I don't think BAL and/or NYJ can't win, just wasn't the most likely scenario so players are ranked accordingly. And I think we all learned last week you can't write off SEA.

How is Green Bay RB Jackson ranked higher than Starks? C'mon Tuvey are you on vacation already?!?
