you like LaFell ehh? Great because I have him on my bench in my 16 team league...not sure Greg Little will cut it as my WR 2

With Cam slowing down towards the end of last season I think the Panthers are going to get creative in getting LaFell open. Smith will garner all the attention and for Cam to get in a rhythm and help them win, he's gotta complete passes. LaFell has the potential for some big weeks when Smith has a slow week.

How many teams are drafting when you give your round analysis? Because for 12 team leagues some of your projections are
status.No way Stafford or Cam lasts until the 3rd round in any 12 team league.
EDIT: it was a good read tho and i wish i had it for my draft.

Your right, they wouldn't. But I wouldn't take either guy until the 3rd round. With Cam's decline late last season, I think teams have picked up on some of his weaknesses and will exploit them again this season. I find it hard for him to get his rushing TDs again this season with Tolbert being added. Stafford is an injury risk. I hate to invest in a high pick on him and have him out the whole year. QB injuries are devastating. RBs might miss a few games.
I wrote those, saying where I'd pick them for the most part.
And Cam went late 2nd and Stafford went middle of the 3rd. People are starting to realize that there is value later in the draft on QBs.

In that draft when Cam and Stafford went around the 3rd, I got Gronk in the 3rd. The whole league loaded up on RBs and the high end WRs early on.

5 QBs including Cam and Stafford went in the 1st round in one of my 12-team money leagues 
and its a PPR league

I'd love to be in that league because that is pretty bad. You can play match-ups with weaker QBs and do fine. A lot of great players must have slipped during that draft.

Ultimately it depends on scoring. I have some leagues where a passing TD is 6 pts. If you run the numbers on those then Brees and Rodger becomes more valuable than any RB.
Matter of fact I'd take Rodgers #3 overall anyway. He gets rushing td's as well.

Ya. I write those articles using standard scoring. QBs are worth more, but not as much as people think. Before 2011 the difference between QBs in points was marginal. In the past 4 or 5 years, there was only one QB to go over 400 points in scoring like that and it was Tom Brady. Yes, the league is turning into more of a passing league but I think why Rodgers was so good was b/c the backfield was so terrible. They'd throw on 3rd and goal from the one. With Benson they won't have to do that if he can run well. I see Brady and Brees outperforming him.
The difference between those top 3 RBs and to the rest of the RBs is so significant that it locks them into those top 3. RBs will always outscore WRs, and I believe that last year was a down year for a lot of QBs as well. Josh Freeman, Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Schaub all underperformed than expected. I believe they'll close the point difference gap again this year. I'm just not buying into the QB hype this year.
