The life of a a fantasy football writer isn't as glamorous as it seems. In between all the champagne rooms and the free NFL Sunday Ticket, we crunch a lot of numbers. And make rankings. Then make sure your projections line up perfectly with your top 200 rankings in every scoring format. Which a lot of places don't bother to do, but that's another column.

Inevitably it comes time to actually use the rankings, like in yesterday's draft. Suddenly, surprising names may rise to the top of your draft board. Players you absolutely don't want to draft. Players you do want to draft are buried. That's when it's time to re-evaluate.

I try not to tweak the rankings too much. We start work on them in February and there is an urge to over-think things. Not see the forest for the trees. With that said, improvement is always possible. Here are some players I'm reconsidering.

Ronnie Brown- The Ronnie Brown bandwagon waylaid a lot of fantasy owners last year, and I was one of his biggest supporters. This year, I originally pegged him as a mid-second round pick, roughly 16th at running back, 23rd overall. Now that I'm drafting, I realize that was too low. He's now moved up to thirteenth, ahead of Willis McGahee, Clinton Portis, and a handful of receivers.

Talent rises, and nothing I saw in 2006 convinced me that Brown is worse than a top-ten talent. The coaching and quarterback situations are upgrades, if modest. I don't want to let last year's emotions get in the way of a solid pick. I'm happy to make him my RB2, especially in points-per-reception leagues.

Marty Booker - Booker was atop my draft board yesterday in the latter rounds, and I absolutely didn't want him. He's a steady pro, an underrated player who has been stuck in bad offenses. But he's playing on another one and the wideout group is currently too crowded with Ted Ginn and Derek Hagan. You want to shoot higher with a late-round pick. He's going to move down from roughly 50th in PPR leagues to the mid-60's. A solid waiver pickup, an uninspiring late pick.
