Draft Countdown: Terrible Twos (Leaf, Mandarich)

Almost there. We’re just two days away from the spring’s biggest sporting event (Stanley Cup, NBA Finals? Ugh.) In a couple more nights we’ll all be seeing how far a certain (iconic?) quarterback falls, if Chan the man (Gailey, of course) is comfortable with an Ivy Leaguer under center, and what the two Johns (Fox and Elway) do in the two-hole.

Pulling in a couple of fantasy thoughts from the Twitterverse:

Lions WR Johnson a risk, but still worth starting

The Lions will start Drew Stanton at quarterback vs. the Bears, and while the former Michigan State Spartan will not draw any interest in fantasy circles, he certainly could impact one of the best receivers, Calvin Johnson.

Who is better than Forte?

Here is the list of running backs who are better — fantasy wise — than Bears RB Matt Forte.

Texans committed to running the ball
