PrintThe Green Bay Packers 2010 fantasy football ranking (from the Top 200) according to NFL.com and CBSSports.com:
| NFL.com | CBSSports.com | |
|---|---|---|
| Player | Rank Overall | Rank Overall |
| Aaron Rodgers | 6 | 13 |
| Ryan Grant | 21 | 16 |
| Greg Jennings | 35 | 48 |
| Jermichael Finley | 59 | 90 |
| Donald Driver | 86 | 80 |
| Packers D | 151 | 178 |
Slight shuffle with Finley behind Driver at CBSSports.com, but otherwise the same.
I love Rodgers, but I actually don't see myself eager to draft any other Packers. Grant seems like a solid 3rd RB instead of a No. 2 guy, but he should be gone by the end of the 2nd round. Jennings would be a great No. 2 WR, but he's a little weak as your top WR and unlikely to remain available into the 5th round. Finley is still a risky pick because he's more potential than past greatness. Driver would be a great flex or bye week option. The Packers D would be a good choice because the non-division schedule includes teams from the AFC East and NFC East that have some questionable offenses.
Who do you think is going to better (or worse) than expected?
I've got more details after the jump.
Rodgers. He's the No. 1 QB overall at NFL.com, while he's behind Drew Brees and Peyton Manning at CBSSports.com.
Grant. He's a good runner but not automatic near the goal line and not much of a receiver. He's the No. 14 RB at NFL.com and No. 11 at CBSSports.com.
Jennings. He'll have a great 2010 season, but he only had 4 TDs in 2009, so he should be down on a number of lists. He's No. 12 WR at NFL.com and No. 14 at CBSSports.com.
Finley. He comes at No. 6 among TEs at NFL.com and No. 7 at CBSSports.com.
Driver. At age 35, it appears there is some fantasy skepticism about him. He's the No. 31 overall WR at NFL.com, and No. 24 at CBSSports.com.
Packers D. They come in as the No. 4 overall defense at NFL.com, and No. 7 at CBSSports.com.

I tend to stay away from the top tier of QBs. PLUS I am kind of cursed when it comes to QBs so I usually avoid the ones I like the most! haha Last year my QB was Favre (NOT intentional) but it turned out pretty good for me for once. I changed my team name to Favres Waffle House after acquiring him in a preseason trade.
I still like Finley this year though I think he won’t be the bargain he was for me last year. Aside from that I probably won’t draft other GB players unless they are a bargain. I don’t want to be THAT guy and honestly when the Packers struggle, I don’t want my FF team to struggle too. Makes for a long Sunday!
fantasy
Gotta resist the urge to draft Packers unless they make sense! Only Packers on my team last year was Packers D. Got them very late in the draft and they were lights out. Would have drafted Finley, but he went much ealier than I would have taken him. Had Rodgers for my backup in ’08, my starter was Brady (ACL wk 1) and he helped me to the championship game! So getting Packers can be good, but it has to be the right time…
I would make Finley a top 5 TE, and drop Driver… Driver is gonna lose catches to Finley and the way it sounds maybe Nelson. If you keep 4 or 5 WR Nelson might be worth a flier on late. I think he could really break out. 3rd year WR are always good values and they tend to have really good years if starting for their teams! I used that to get J. Walker when he broke out, same for Andre Johnson and Braylon Edwards!!
I make the fantasy playoffs every year and have been to the Champioship game in 3/4 of them… Winning every other year or so…
oh yeah…the Packer D…I had them too. What a bargain they were. My league of viking fan friends laughed their butts off when I drafted them. I had to drop Finley when he got hurt last year cause my main TE, Cooley got hurt THE SAME WEEK, within like 30 min of each other. I went from one of the best TE groups in the league (maybe THE best) to not having someone to play the next week!!
IDP
I play IDP, and will have no problem with taking Woodson, Collins and/or Matthews; will avoid all 3-4 DL like the plague!

The glass is more than half-full.
DEF : I’d go with the #7 rank, but they can easily drop value this year.
Driver is always a nice later round pick up, but you have to watch his recovery.
Finley , risky perhaps, but he has a good chance to lead TEs this year. You just have to sweat out when to pull the trigger.
I expect Jennings to bounce back and almost produce WR1 numbers. Homer? Never in FFL. I still say he was battling an injury all last season.
Rodgers: Tough to go back to back. I had him in about 6 of my many leagues and I won each one.
I’m gonna try and take Rodgers, Jennings, and Finley in my leagues. Rodgers has been pretty consistent these past two years, and we know he’s always going to get the attempts to put up numbers. Finley seemed to be Rodgers go to guy last season, and I don’t see why that would change this year. And I think Jennings will bounce back, especially if Finley continues to be successful.
You might need to draft Rodgers in the 1st rd. Seems he is late 1st or early 2nd rd pick… Jennings, I would try to get as my #2 WR, but not as a #1… Finley should be gone relatively quickly. My guess is 5th rd or so… Gonna be hard to get them all unless you reach for them, IMO…
It’ll depend on my draft position I suppose. I’ll reach for Rodgers, and probably did so last year taking him early 2nd. It can be valuable to have a guy who can consistently get you 15-25 points. I’ve never been able to get Jennings but he had a bit of a down year this past season, which will probably drop him in a lot rankings. This will help me cause the league I’m in is one full of guys who don’t know a whole lot about football haha. Usually they all stick to their ranking sheets. It’ll be interesting to see how the draft turns out for me.

Last year,
I got Rodgers in a mid-season trade – with my top rival in my division!
He won the division, and the Super bowl, and I got bounced in the wild-card round (aptly enough), but it was due to factors unrelated to the trade.
The guys I got in the trade out-performed the ones I gave up; it was the REST of his team. HaHa.
And, if anybody cares, my team name is Jumpin’ Pack Flash.

Finley..
I have to believe he is going to be a great value pick and have a breakout year!
Favre-enfreude
The thrill of seeing an epic Brett Favre fail. Derived from schadenfreude - satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else's misfortune.
Lots of Good Fantasy Talen
I agree that Grant and Rodgers are the best fantasy options here. The receivers are strong as well, but will get less looks given the talent they have to compete against. Most experts agree that Rodgers is the top QB and Grant is a top ten back. Should be an exciting year for the Pack.
