    What do you think about Rashard Mendenhall in the 10th round? Also, how do you feel about the Cardinals' running back Ryan Williams?

    Seems a little early to me. But that late would mean he is a backup on your roster, so its not a huge gamble.

    Ryan Williams is a nice guy to pick up in the late rounds. We all know that Beanie Wells is fragile at best.

    Would you change this at all if you were in a PPR league?

    RBs would change a little bit. WRs would change a little bit. Nothing too drastic though. Of course .5 PPR is a lot different than 1 PPR. All depends on your league.

    There would be some flopping in the rankings, but nothing too major. I hate pimping the bigger fantasy sites, but ESPN has my favorite PPR rankings
