Don't make same mistake as Lions with Stafford

Don't go all in on Matt Stafford this season like the Detroit Lions did.

Stafford is a solid fantasy QB, but the investment the Lions made ($41.5 million guarantee) is silly.

He's not one of the best QBs in real life. He's not one of the best in fantasy.

Here's my top 10 for 2013:

  • Aaron Rodgers
  • Drew Brees
  • Cam Newton
  • Peyton Manning
  • Andrew Luck
  • Matt Ryan
  • Tom Brady
  • Russell Wilson
  • Colin Kaepernick
  • Robert Griffin III
  • Tony Romo
That's 11 that I would draft ahead of Stafford, who starts the summer at No. 12.

Lamar Miller remains RB I want to see

It won't be long until training camps start, but that doesn't mean I'm not morphing into fantasy football mode.

Here are a couple players I'm interested in seeing this summer before draft day:

Lamar Miller: I've been high on this guy since last year. He appears ready to claim the starting role for the Dolphins. He could finish as a top 20 RB. He's got some upside.

Giovani Benard: The hype for the rookie RB already has started. The Bengals are gushing over this guy. I'm guessing you'll need to draft him early to get him.

Tavon Austin: The rookie WR could be the main cog for the Rams. I don't like drafting rookie WRs until late, so I might not get him in any drafts.

Vincent Brown: The Chargers WR was injured last year, so he could be a steal late in drafts. We'll have to see how the coaching staff plans to use him.

Who else is on your radar?
