★ Early bird fantasy football discussion - 2017 ★

[yuja]

Welcome back brahs, yahoo leagues just opened up today and NFL draft tonight.

Let's discuss how well guys who changed teams like Alshon, Lacy, Lynch, Cooks, DJax (?) will do...

Will Hopkins/AR-15 bounce back this year? When will Gore hit the proverbial wall and finally stop being productive...

What rookies are you excited for?



Cam looks like an early steal at 78, Panthers have the easiest SOS based on last years rankings.

Reps for first 5

ayyyyyy

still too early but in

[JUGGERNAUT1333]

hnnnggg.... finally.

I think Lynch will do really well assuming he's conditioned. Very good O-line, and always a threat on the outsides with Cooper/Crabtree. Lacy will probably average 2.4 YPC behind Seattles line. Not sure about the rest.

fff still on spread with you

Raiders had the #4 ranked line last year, but Richard and Washington probably going to steal some of his carries. Crabtree stealing looks in the RZ.

Lynch hasn't been ranked by yahoo yet but Lacy at 25 feels overpriced. Seahawks had the worst line last year and I don't think they've made any changes this year. Plus prosise/rawls looming

[Murph0408]

agreed on above with Cam. i hate to fall for the guy all over again but he does this; every other year he seems to have monster fantasy seasons. i know he had surgery and was banged up but IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT....i'm going for it. a potential top 3 QB at a discounted price.

let others pay for brees/brady/rodgers and get a guy 2 rounds later who can pace them or even beat them.

They are ranking Lacy at 25 overall?

yep. drafts don't start for a month and ingram is still ranked at 23 so probably all subject to change

overpriced af right now though

Just wow...wouldn't even be on my radar until the 5th or 6th. He hasn't been productive in years, and he certainly didn't enter a better offense. Ingram is probably going to be a victim of TD Vulchering from AP this year.

I'm looking at both Hopkins and AR-15 as value picks that hopefully fall to the 5th-6th range, but we'll have to see once the pre-draft hype machines get fired up...

Proises will own that backfield if he stays healthy. Lynch wont have the ypg but he will probably have 15tds. Id imagine he will end with something like 800-900 yards. If you dont get DJ or Bell good luck with poverty RB scores this year. Im hoping everyone stays away from AP as i want to stash him for the inevitable ingram injury

his contract has some significant incentives if he breaks 1k+ yards, I wouldn't mind taking a stab on lynch at the end of the 3rd/4th.

which rookie RB/WR's is everyone eyeing this year?

Fournette if he lands on the jags, Cook if the Buccs get him. McCaffrey won't last till the Packs pick but would be a nice fit there

Mike Williams if the bills draft him

TBH i never pay attention to college so i have no clue about them until i see them in preseason.

lots of good TEs going in the first few rounds (Howard, Njoku, Butt, Engram)

TE was a crapshoot last year, looking forward to some more stability this season

[Murph0408]

gotta love winston with all these weapons this year

i assume the kid they took last night won't REALLY break out until next year since they still have cameron brate and TE is a tough position to master in the NFL

Unless the Seahawks do something about their terrible offensive line and figure out how to run a balanced offense (ie Lynch days), I'm not trying to take any of their RBs until 3rd round at the earliest.

Fournette is talented, but he won't be great in that bad offense. I feel bad for him as that was a reach at #4 pick. I'd take him later in the draft.

Mike Williams seems like a potential winner in fantasy. Interested to see how he does / fits in that offense.

McCaffrey to the Panthers is interesting. McCaffrey moved up a lot based on his workouts. I'd like to think he will be fantasy relevant right away with 40+ catches. Still worries me about his size and how Cam is usually vulturing goal line TDs. Later round draft pick for me.

Watson makes sense in Houston, but I'm not sure he is going to put up stellar numbers. Most everything is in place for the Texans to be a playoff team again, so we will see how he handles the pressure.

The guy I'm most excited about is Howard in Tampa. Dude is a stud and I think he will fit in extremely well in that offense. The combination of Howard and Evans is going to be fun to watch.

McCaffrey is going to be the lightning to J-Stew's thunder, might be a decent later round pick since he can also play slot

I really like Fournette on the Jags IF Bortles can fix his **** and go back to being a competent (asking for a lot I know) QB. They have all the WRs in the world. Ivory & Yeldon are garbage and he should seize the starting job ez barring injury

Keenan Allen goes down every year, maybe Mike Williams can make some noise. John Ross is a great complement for AJ Green, might not get the best lines but I'd rate Green higher now that he isn't the only threat on that offense

Howard & Brate two TE sets? pretty good. Still waiting for the pats to take another TE though

[BeastinFitness]

what're everyones thoughts on Marshawn Lynch coming out of retirement? I feel like he's gunna be a bust.

[Tyler2106]

Rumor is that the Pats might take another TE. Seems like with how injury prone Gronk is, his better days are behind him. I'm hoping for a legit pass rusher.

[Tyler2106]

He will have some rust to knock off that's for sure, but he's going to a team that should be advantageous for having success running the ball. I'm not sure he will come back and reclaim his Beast Mode name, but he should be good. Time will tell though.

[Jayarbie]

Even if he's lost a step, as long as he can stay healthy, in that offense with that line, he should be a TD machine.

Wanted them to trade up for Howard but lol @ thinking the pats would trade up

Maybe Jake Butt. 10/10 name, would buy a jersey lol



I think taking a year off is good for a RBs legs, love Lynch's TD potential but still feel like he'll be overpriced when eventually ranked based on name alone

[brownbrah113]

Drafting RBs first 2 rounds fukk it

[NorrinRadd12]

Winston has the best weapons in the league. Could throw for 5000 and 40

Do like him this year. pretty bad defense as well plus 4 games against the Saints/Falcons which should all be shootouts

[dhawkeye1980]

Im,fully expecting him to get 10+ TDs but id be shocked if he gets 1k yards

Im hoping he drops to 4th or 5th round but i feel like the hype peopld will draft him closer to the 2/3 turn

[colbski]

tyreek hill gonna make some noise, same with derrick henry.

[dhawkeye1980]

tyreek hill gonna make some noise, same with derrick henry.

Hill will ball out hard, henry will get all of the shortyard work so it will suck for murray owners as henry steals all the TDs

[ChknFrydMFer]

innnnnn...who's gonna take a shot on woodhead in the late rounds?
