Blogger 365 Day 213 - 10 Players I Hate More Than You (Part 2)

     Time to get back at it, shall we?

     6)  Percy Harvin WR SEA - Average draft position 44.0 - Excuse me if I don't get what all the fuss is about here.  Harvin has never eclipsed 1000 yards receiving in a season, nor has he even played 600 snaps in a season, yet Harvin is getting drafted ahead of guys like T.Y. Hilton, DeSean Jackson, Michael Crabtree, and Michael Floyd.  Harvin has played in 10 games total over the last 2 seasons and has missed time in 4 of his 5 seasons in the NFL. 

     7)  Josh Gordon WR CLE - Average draft position 117.3 - Gordon is facing a year long suspension from the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy, and while Gordon has appealed that ruling make no mistake, he will be missing substantial time, if not the entire season.  Had Gordon just beaten his girlfriend then I would say draft him here, he is only going to miss a couple of weeks. 

     8)  CJ Spiller RB BUF - Average draft position 41.0 - This is just a case of where I am tired of waiting.  Every year those of us who read fantasy magazines and listen to fantasy shows are told how this is going to be the year that Spiller will be the number one running back in Detroit.  Then CJ Spiller happens, and he is less productive than his backfield teammate Fred Jackson, despite being three years younger than Jackson.  Now that Buffalo has added even another running back into the mix to get carries (say hello to Bryce Brown), I want no part of CJ Spiller getting beat out by not just one, but two teammates.

     9)  Johnny Manziel QB CLE - Average draft position 126.4 - As of this writing there is no guarantee that Manziel will be the starting QB in Cleveland, but even if he wins that job, who is he going to throw to (see Josh Gordon above)?  This isn't so much an indictment of the player (though rookie quarterbacks are a crap shoot to begin with) as much as it is an indictment of the situation in Cleveland.  Right now manziel is being taken ahead of Eli Manning (ADP 130.3) and I just can't buy that.  Manning has his issues, but he also has more weapons to work with. 

     10)  Jermichael Finley TE GB - Average draft position 120.8 -  Finley has yet to rejoin the Packers after going through neck fusion surgery following a helmet to helmet hit against the Browns last October.  This is where as a player of fantasy football you should be doing your due dilligence, there are plenty of tight ends on the board, and some of them are going to play.  Chances are Finley is not one of them.

     There, my work here is now done.  Next!!!!
