Early Bird Fantasy Rankings are released and they seem to not have much love for the Lions offense.

QBs - Stafford listed as a "Tier 2 QB" (No 21 overall).
I am a bit of a Lions homer, but some of the names ahead of Stafford are silly IMO...Derek Carr and Blake Bortles are both top 10 QBs? (fantasy wise) Ryan Tannehill and Kirk Cousins are 10 postions better than Stafford? Winston, Mariota, and Brock Osweiler...I mean really?

RB's - Theo Riddick is #25 overall...I love Theo but that seems high to me (unless its a PPR league, in which case thats low).


WR- Golden Tate is WR2 (No 23 overall) and Marvin Jones WR3 (No 44 overall). I personally would have Tate slightly higher, especiallyconsidering he will get more balls thrown his way this year. Id say hes top 20 for sure. Jones I have no clue on...but I think hes better than several of the players slated ahead of him.

TEs - Eric Ebron TE1 (No. 9 overall) this seems accurate to me...maybe a bit high but as a projection for next season I would hope he finishes in top 10 TE production.

I'd take Staff over all those names except Bortles. That guy may be a real world dud but he is a fantasy stud. Always racking up the garbage time points.

Theo in a PPR is a good pick at their price. Tate I'm going to own shares of in my league next year as I'll be higher on him than others. Jones I think will be a good bet for red zone targets. Ebron, if I draft him it will be somewhere between my defense and my kicker.
