Check out Tuvey's blog if you want to know what criteria he's using to compile this list. You'll get alot more out of this tool if you understand his methods.

Jose... do a little checking up if you are going to bash the system... there is two different Steve Smith's that are WR. One plays for the giants and of coarse Carolina's Smith. Who happens to be number 2.

How is Steve Smith ranked so low and Muhsim Muhammad ranked so high??? It just makes not sense. Both have the same schedule, I know they face different corners every week, but CLEARLY Smith is the superior WR? Does this take into consideration what they have done in the first weeks or are you predicting some sort of injury for Smith? I am very confused by this.

Not that anyone gives a damn about kickers, but I am curious how Josh Scobee went from #3 in Week 8 to #12 in Week 9? Yeah, he missed a FG, but made a 50+ yarder and I am pretty sure that JAX opponents for the remainder of the season have not changed. Is it that your opinion of the Jags offense has changed? Is he injured? I agree with Gman...I think your definition of "value" is needed?

Gman

These rankings make no sense. They are supposed to rank the player value for the rest of the season. For example, no way Jacobs should be #7. His schedule for the rest of the season is brutal and we got a glimpse of what he will do against a top run defense this past Sunday. Do you really think he will score more than Chris Johnson? What is the "value"? Trade value? Value to their NFL team? It can't be a prediction of fantasy points scored going forward.

All i have to say is if there is no way addai should be that low. If you drafted Addai and are in contention then i think you are sitting nice. The last four games are Jacksonville, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Detroit. The colts for once are going to need to win every game this year and wont be sitting starters. I would buy Addai no questions asked....

pete - M.Moore is going to the bench for sure this week when Parker comes back.

D. Bowe at 29 he's a definite top 15...All those targets, c'mon? No QB, no problem.

Posted Oct 29, 2008 10:26am EDT

depends how deep at those positions and starters....qb's about same and marshall top 3 wr and jacobs top 10...could work good for both owners

I would rather have Jacobs and Romo.

Jack

Posted Oct 29, 2008 9:06am EDT

The rankings are rank! Example...Edge over Mewelde Moore.
Edge is going to the bench and even if he was the starter has done nothing.

Pete

Posted Oct 29, 2008 8:46am EDT

Would you trade Jacobs and Romo for Cutler and Marshall?
