Sell High: Vikings Receivers

The signing of Brett Farve has set the fantasy world all a buzz. Too much so.
Bernanrd Berrian and Percy Harvin (Sidney Rice to a lesser degree) have risen in everyone's ranks. This is to be expected when a team gets a good QB. However, the reality of the matter is that Minnesota is still a run first team. The reality is that Farve is not young - he's good, but not what he used to be. The rise in rankings for the Vikings receivers has gone way overboard.
Hence my advice. If people are viewing these WRs as much more then what they will be, take advantage of it! I have heard/seen multiple deals all aimed at getting Vikings receivers - yes, teams are packaging players (good ones) to get Berrian or Harvin. Now I'm not saying that the receivers are not worth owning, in fact, they should be solid (I think Harvin will emerge as the best of the group). But if you can trade for better talent, do it! Take advantage of this hysteria before people's expectations come back down to earth.

New Year, Same Story

The Tennessee Titans had a good thing going last year - Chris Johnson runs them down the field, and then LenDale While finishes it off.
If the first preseason game tells us anything, the Titans are going to stick to that winning formula, as they should.
Interestingly, this makes both backs a little closer in value then many would think. To be clear, Johnson is still the back that should be taken first, but LenDale's TD opportunities makes him very valuable. One other thing of note, LenDale has lost some weight. He is still powerful, but a little more maneuverable and quick. Titan's are loaded!
This is a team with a good, if not great, line and likes to run. Both RBs have high fantasy value. Just about anywhere you look, White is rated significantly lower then Johnson. I think maybe a little too low. This is the only committee that I back. Take White, even if you have to reach a little. If White does what he did last year, you will be happy, if he does more (which is very possible), you got a steal.
