QB: RG3
Team added DeSean, offseason reports have him looking as good as he's ever been, new coach
I think he could have a bounce-back season
WR: Emmanuel Sanders
Could end up being overvalued in drafts...but any WR in Denver's offense (*starting) is definitely worth owning
WR: Golden Tate
Excited to see him in a pass first offense next to Megatron, almost never drops any balls
WR: Hakeem Nicks
worth a flier, one of my sleepers this season
WR: Michael Crabtree
healthy now, should have a great season. could possibly be undervalued
others
WR: Reuben Randle
WR: whoever ends up #1 in CAR
WR: Corderelle(sp?) Patterson
WR: Jeremy Maclin
WR: Markus Wheaton
RB: Montee Ball
Feature back now, I'm on the fence about this guy...dont' want to get burned again
RB: Ben Tate
*If he can stay healthy*, CLE boasting solid O-line and an actual passing game..could be undevalued
TE: Kyle Rudolph if the team drafts a QB...didn't really read too much into TEs...maybe whoever gets drafted by GB or ATL (Amaro, Ebron, etc)
just off the top of my head
Bounceback season candidates:
Doug Martin
????
basketball just ended so I don't have much to look forward to except baseball atmLast edited by yuja; 04-18-2014 at 03:31 PM.

agree on rg3 yuja, desean is also in for a huge year, and his defense is terrible, they're sure to be in alot of shootouts.
Golden tate seems like he could get 1000/10 line opposite calvin.
hype is picking up steam on ball, i've seen him go rd1 in mocks.
Some must have handcuffs imo
-Andre brown on texans squad backing up injury prone foster. And we've seen that brown is no slouch
-j bell i think he will be better than bush this year
-B.pierce could be interesting aswell
-F.jackson can be had really late if u go the spiller route**MISC LIFTING CREW**

Weary of any back behind Foster...we waited on Tate for years and that ship never sailed. Could be a decent RB3/4 or so on draft day.
Neither Pierce nor Rice got anything going last season, I think I read somewhere about their o-line struggling (not sure)
Bell in dat der 50/50 timeshare, not sure how high i'd pay for him
Very "eh" on FJax lol
other RBs
-Rashad Jennings if Wilson flops again
-Sproles in Eagle's high powered offense and slight lack of WRs (Cooper, Maclin, lawl)
late/deep league
-Marcus Lattimore, Gore getting old and Hunter not that impressive
-Christine Michael, Lynch entering his age 30 season
-PT/Khiry/Ingram with the departure of sproles...still a bit muddled for my liking
more bounce back candidates
-Stevan Ridley (or draft Shane Vereen), one of them should have value with Blount gone. Worth a shot at RB3
-Trent Richardson, maybe he'll find his magic...maybe not. handcuff with Donald Brown/Bradshaw

^supposed fantasy football addict....says it's too early.
Daily is wack imo. (but easy money)
rather play high stakes season long fantasy football..
Iceman, u playing from iceland? lol must be tough to catch games
On Topic Though.
Love C.Patterson this year he's going early 4 to mid 5 in mocks, but i'm worried by august the hype will bounce him up to late 3rd. Rather have cobb/v jack type of players for that price....your thoughts?Last edited by BionicBrah; 04-19-2014 at 02:24 PM.

375 yards and 6 tds over the last 5 games (both rec and rush yards)
starting split end, jennings relegated to slot
norv turner at OC (see gordon last season)
4/5th rounder is way too steep a price though...especially if they don't draft a QB
WR is deep and i'd rather draft a proven guy

that an average of 14.5 ppg standard. I'll take that in the 5th round all day.
I guess it just comes down to personal prefrence, i like having a guy like v jack as a wr2, as opposed to a scrub wr3 or a guy like james jones, that i have to try and squeeze 7-10 points out of...
I think i'm buying on C.Pat this year at the right price, even with cassel the guy was pretty good.

u cannot get him as a wr3 unless ur stacked on wr. He goes mid rd 5 latest early 4th at the earliest. And thats just now, his hype will put him up the late 3rd i think. And i can't/won't take him over cobb/v jack types even though i'm so high on him this year

your right about his consistencey yuja, but last year was his rookie year and with terrible qb play. Now he's got a year under his belt, and possibly a decent qb incoming.
Lets talk about some less exciting players that can anchor ur team in the later rounds if they pan out. These are all Mid round rbs with question marks surrounding them.
S-jack-getting old but can be had late, RB2 numbers would be a great return on investment
T-rich- Going same tier as S-jack, is he going to turn it around or are we all still chasing his rookie year
Gore-every year ppl say he's getting old and that he'll break down....every year top 15 rb
Ray rice-i don't even kno wats up with this guy, u can get him in the 4/5 rds, could be huge or bust again
Vereen/Ridley-I'm not gonna bother with NE Rb's, but both could have value especially ridley going in rd 8
Rashad Jennings- did good last year as bell cow, and giants like to run
Chris Johnson-could be okay, but imo jets is where fantasy players go to die
Knowshown Moreno- Did well in denver, was it the offense or him?
P.thomas - sproles is gone, but there is talk of an RBBC, he was solid last year even with sproles there
Mcfadden/Mojo - these guys are intriguing cause u can get them round 7 and 8 back to back, and WHEN one gets hurt, u might have a stud.Last edited by BionicBrah; 04-20-2014 at 05:19 AM.

In on this thread
Question. my keeper league i can pick two players to keep. I have 3 good players (Jimmy Graham, CJ Spiller, Cam Newton)
Obviously im keeping Jimmy, What about the other keeper? Do i take my QB with that spot and draft RB/RB (i'm 4th pick non snake ladder).
Thoughts?
