I stated what I think his floor is for rushing attempts in my edit

He had an ankle issue in college; I think only injuries prevents him from reaching the plateaus I said, and I think I'm low on his carries. Would not be shocked at 215 carries.

Good

QB-Cutler stays healthy and finishes as the #4 overall quarterback.

RB- Davonte Freeman takes over for an injured SJax and ineffective Quizz roughly week 4 and proceeds to rack up 900 yards/11 TD rushing + 45 rec. for another 300 & 2 scores. DYNAMIC!

WR- Colston, Roddy, Wayne- like all 3 to turn back the clock and put up #s like it's 2009

TE- Jordan Reed puts the concussions behind him and reels in 90+ catches for 1000 yards and 7TDs to edge out Orange Julius as the #3 PPR TE.

BAD

QB- Peyton fails to reach 40TDs or 4000 yards as Denver goes to a more balanced attack and rely on an improved D. Still a good season but he comes nowhere near living up to his ADP, even in 6pt PTD leagues.

RB- Le'Veon is a complete bust, see TRich 2013. Bell's rookie campaign was very similar to Trent, as he was TD & workload dependent. Even tho he is the better goalline back it looks like he'll lose GL carries to his smokin boi.

WR- Andre Johnson finishes outside of the top 36 WRs in standard scoring. Andre has checked out mentally, with that mess of an organization who can blame him. In fact I want no part of that shite show down there.

TE- Vernon Davis finishes outside of the top 12. Sad that his talent has been wasted in that SF system that de-emphasizes the TE l2. He's be a perieniell top 3 TE in the right system.

CrAzEeE

QB- Bortles takes over in week 5 at home vs the Steelers and carries the Jags to a 13-3 record and ROY honors.

RB- JStew finishes in the top 15, finally staying healthy.

WR- Paul Richardson takes over in week 8 after another Harvin injury and carries Seattle (and his fantasy owner) down the stretch into the playoffs. No stat predictions just remember the name.

TE- Kelce.. Yea I'm a believer. Forget Zach Dudfeld, this dude is Gronk-lite. top 5 TE this year. GET HIM ON YOUR ROSTER.

sproles had how many carries last year? 50?


I was more talking about Sproles when he was in that RB1 conversation; he had 87 carries his monster year with the Saints.

I see Gio at 130 carries with 60 or so catches.

They finally gave Hill carries with the 1st team. I know it's preseason, but they are using these auditions to sort things out. Hill went 4/23 while Gio went 8/7. I think their offense is better with Hill shouldering the load carrying the ball while using Gio as a Sproles type player. They are seriously lack offensive weapons and need both those guys on the field at the same time IMO

-Tony Romo will have more completions than Peyton Manning
-Arian Foster and Marshawn Lynch will both finish outside of top 10 in fantasy scoring
-Roddy White will have more receptions than Pierre Garcon and Percy Harvin combined

depending on how TDs and yardage shake out that's not bad for your RB2 in a PPR if that's his floor. I'll take it, if I have him paired with a top level Rb1

Julius Thomas = i won't catch 10+ TDs again and my receptions and yardage are barely top 10 worthy among TEs.


You could be right about 10+ but barring injury I think he stays in line for top 3 TE production.

If you were to throw out the 2012 season in which Jacob Tamme and Joel Dreessen split snaps, and combine the 2010 production of Tamme and Dallas Clark (who was placed on injured reserve after six games), the average stat line of Peyton Manning’s top tight end since 2007 looks like this:

80.8 receptions, 867.2 receiving yards, 9.2 touchdowns, 142.4 fantasy points per season.(non ppr)

Total opposite side of the spectrum for me.

I don't see how he doesn't carry the ball 12-15 times a game.

All aboard with this one. PFM made Joseph fricking Addai a 1st round RB... Wait to see what he does with a RB with skill

yeah, i agree. my whole thing is about having him as your RB1

i think he could do serious damage in the passing game, moreso than running the ball. AJ drawing attention deep, Hill as a threat running the ball, allowing Gio to catch a lot of passes in space

this would worry me as well, just because he carries more risk than Lacy, Ball, Lynch, and Murray, simply because there's no threat if any of them falter. Gio has to show early he can handle it or Hill's role will increase.

but the other night I started with mccoy, I was going to go WR-WR the next 2, but with Gio there I couldn't pass it up.

Same thing happened to me. Got AP and was going WR-WR next, but Ball was sitting there and I had no choice. Ended up with Keenan and Roddy as my top 2 WRs (12 t, PPR)

Other league I had pick 10 and Lacy fell to me. Then I went Marshall, Keenan, Julius Thomas

He was "just a guy" in the right system. Certainly lacked the skillset and pedigree you'd expect from a top 5 back

I haven't figured out what to make of allen yet, he was sort of TD reliant down the stretch. If gates is healthy and green emerges does he keep getting all of those redzone looks?

Lol.

ETA: With all the P.I. this year, he may have 40 TDS by week 8.

I can say this...I am nervous as frick with him as my pseudo WR1 (Roddy is my 2, PPR) in that one league. I do have a very good bunch though. He doesn't bother me as a WR2 as much.

And I do really like Green in SD this year.

Eta for first team WR
Allen
Roddy
Wayne
Eric Decker
Terrance Williams

While he has said some stuff in the media, the guy is still a "pro's pro".

110 catches and 1500 yards to out of the top 36? Only if he gets hurt.

I actually think the texans will be sneaky this year.

Andre will have another 1200 yd season this year, even with Fitzpatrick. I actually see his TDs going up also.

Kubiak would throw to Andre to bail their offense out on third down but in the red zone was over the top TE heavy. He loved those PA bootlegs to the TE in the red zone.
