    Just wanted you guys to know a new article was on the way. I'm sure the news is feeding everyone plenty right now, but until you DraftCalc users get FFStarters Access (I'm hoping in the next week or two but I have quit giving deadlines) I wanted to ensure you were still getting content.

    Note: I will also be updating the DraftCalc Rankings and Projections in the next 24-48 hours.

    Thanks, all!

    Nice! Look forward to the article. Hey Smitty, I'd like to see an article on handcuffing positions other than RB. If you think it's a good idea. No one ever talks about it, but I like the idea of hanging onto an older veteran player and adding his heir apparent as opposed to trading an aging veteran before he retires. For example, Gates handcuff being Green, Marquess Wilson being a handcuff to Marshall ect. Just a thought that's been occurring to me lately.

    It's a great point Don, I think it depends in the league and roster size, the leagues I'm mostly in have a small roster and I go with talent over cuff at other positions ....

    I'll look into it. Cuffing other positions is rare for me too. But a Cooper/Matthews, or a Fitz or Floyd with Brown, Givens/Britt, Latimer/Sanders, Dobson/Edelman. or Randle/Cruz, come to mind? Don, throw out examples?

    I think givens britt is a good one...I almost thought about throwing Brian quick in there too but I changed my mind haha
    Bold Predictions:
    Cordarelle Patterson replaces Josh Gordon in the top 5 WR group.
    (Julio, Calvin, AJG, CP, and Dez)

    Andre Williams proves himself to be the best RB in this class, by having the most productive rookie season of all the rbs.

    Starks better be there, he is now Lacy shadow from here on out with Franklin gone!
    My league is a non PPR 12 person league having a roster of 19 players each. Active roster includes 1Qb 2Rb's 3Wr's 1Te 1K 1Def. Two weeks before draft we cut the roster down to 9 keepers. My team as of now:
    QB Nick Foles, Russell Wilson, Josh McCown
    RB Lamar Miller, Shane Vereen, Zac Stacy, Cierre Wood
    WR AJ Green, Julio Jones, Josh Gordon, Rueben Randle, Kenny Stills
    TE Z Ertz, M. Bennett, Delanie Walker
    DEF Kansas City, Cleveland
    K Steven Hauschka

    I said before when we watch the NFL draft develop in front of our eyes! That this was the year of the handcuff's than ever before as I feel more confident about these guys taken the starter role this year.
