  Matt Ryan as qb #9?
  Wow seems low to me

  Bold Predictions:
  June 21- Dez Bryant finishes as the #1 WR in 2013.

  I actually think those are pretty good redraft rankings

  Because they would be safely on his team.   ;)

  I did laugh.  Calvin at #11?  TR behind Morris?  IDK.  IMO TR is the safest rb this year and morris is one of the riskier

  Looking at it from my main league perspective he has me keeping Cobb over McFadden and David Wilson.  Just what I needed more second thoughts creeping in.  It sure would be easier picking Cobb then picking the "wrong" RB between those 2.  I could see both either dominating or being an average #3RB.
  

  I don't trust Adam Schefter and neither should you!!!

  Any time you deal with Shannanigans you run a risk at RB. ;)

  Please 2 years ago Michael Vick was this clowns number one player off the board. He's an idiot.

  Gotta remember that he's ranking non-ppr as well.  Richardson in a non-ppr didn't have nearly as good of a year last year as Richardson in a ppr.  Morris had almost 400 more yards and one more touchdown than Richardson, and closed the season with a 200-yard, 3 TD game.  Richardson close the season on the bench.  Berry is a Skins fan as well...so putting Morris one spot ahead of Richardson in a redraft, non-ppr context isn't something I can fault him for.

  Never liked the guy. Don't know how he got that job.

  And being a Redskin's fan he has insight into the team.  If Shannahan uses Morris the same as he did last season you have a solid and consistent point producer.

  Man...so much hate!  

  
  

  I'll say this...the only reason I had T.Y. Hilton on so many teams last year is because the equally-disliked Colin Cowherd wouldn't shutup about how much he liked him.

  Dont know that TR is all that "safe". Dinged up all last year and will be running against loaded boxes.. Not that I dont like him, but AP is probably safest until proven otherwise.

  I love Berry...but not for his fantasy advice. 

  
  

  He's funny and entertaining. I also know in the one redraft league I play in (at ESPN), the other guys will be following his advice. 

  
  

  Yes, he's a homer for the 'Skins. Yes, he makes some bad calls. Doesn't make him any less entertaining. 

  
  

  BTW, who doesn't make bad calls in projecting fantasy rankings?

  Exactly...I love it when people ridicule others rankings, projections or bold predictions but never make any of their own for fear of being wrong.

  Didn't laugh my ass off, but I did chuckle at Richardson being RB9... with Norv Turner there, Richardson will flirt with being the top RB in all formats.
  
  Also, noticed he likes Ball over Bell by a nice margin.

  They seem safe to me in redraft.

  I'm a Chris Harris guy if I had no other option in espn. Berry's podcasts are hardly ever now about fantasy football. Its more towards endorsing himself. Oddly enough the year I stopped listening to his show I started winning leagues.

  I stopped listening when I realized that I was already aware of and had contemplated everything they were discussing.  Plus it's all in a redraft context.
