The following are some of the players affected by the recent free agent and trading frenzy that find themselves in a better position to make a positive fantasy contribution in 2011. Included with each player is the rank they appear in the magazine and where they would rank today.

Quarterback Kevin Kolb moves up from 24 to 14. There were worse spots than Arizona where Kolb could have landed. Certainly Larry Fitzgerald is happy.

Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck moves up from 28 to 21 with the move from Seattle to Tennessee

Arizona sees running back Ryan Williams move up from 31 to 24 and Beanie Wells move up from 41 to 34.

Reggie Bush moves up from 46 to 41 into a Dolphins offense short of big play makers.

Ricky Williams moves from 50 to 43. If Willis McGahee can vulture touchdowns from Ray Rice so can Williams.

Wide receiver Derrick Mason goes from 43 up to 33 with the move east to the Jets.

Tight end Greg Olsen makes the biggest jump of all players going from 21 up to 7 with the move away from the Mike Martz tight end deprived offense in Chicago to the fresh start Carolina Panthers.

What to expect…

This site will have updates and corrections to this year’s Guide.

You’ll find posts categorized as Teams, for updates to the team profiles and the annotated depth charts, and Positions, for updates to the position rankings.

We’ll post updated Draft at a Glance charts once the free agents have signed, and a new mock draft a couple weeks before the start of the season, to help put all the new rankings in perspective.

Thanks for buying this year’s Fantasy Football Guide, and best wishes for the new season.
