Darryl:

quote:


QB: Luck had a forgetful season but will bounce back quite well and has a truly talented skill group(T.Y/Moncreif/Dorsett/Allen etc) but I still worry about that Oline. They've added bodies but the results arent there yet
.

quote:

RBs:

Martin is surely talented and has 2 top 5 finishes to his name but I have some concerns:

1. Getting paid(you know how this goes)
2. He's been inconsistent
3. He's not the best pass catcher and a talented charles sims will take some snaps.

I like martin a lot and think he'll do well but like any RB these days he has risk.

I like addullahs talent and has good upside for a 7th rounder. I believe DET will rely a bit more on the run game which should help him a bit. One problem is that he's not a third down back yet(thats Theo Riddicks job) and that could lead to some inconsistency but he's definitely the most talented back on the roster. I like him as a flex dunno about RB2 status.

Ivory will split time with yeldon but should still be productive in an offense that should have a bit more balance(I think nearly 90% of their scores went through the air) Every week RB2 if yeldon goes down. He's injury prone though.

Forsett had a meh season last year before sadly busting his arm and ending it. I don't believe he'll recapture the magic of 2014 and has more mouths to feed on offense but I could see 800ish yards and a handful of TDs and thats solid in the 9th round.


quote:

WR:

Not much to say about Antonio Brown He should kill it yet again.

I believe DT88 is right on that fringe of WR1/2 to be honest. I like the promise Siemans shown and they have to have nice chemistry. A bounceback is likely with competent QB play. Good value in the 3rd.

Cobb has a lot to prove after a disappointing 2015. He has jordy back who'll siphon targets but he still has Aaron Rodgers and cobb himself is entering his prime(26). I like 1000 yards and 8ish TDs,Lower catch rate and YPC were his culprits last season.

I think Travis Benjamin could payoff big imho. He put up a top 30 season with a shitshow at QB in CLE imagine him in SD with Rivers? Like Floyd when he was there he'll have weeks where he'll erupt but will have some meh weeks,I do think he's more consistent though.

I like hogans game and he was a good flyer pick. We know NE will spread it around they have a history of turning journeymen into productive role players. He needs to correct his drop rate(it was awful in 2015) to have a chance of thriving. Something like 600-700 yards and 5 TDs is within reach.

Smith Sr is an old frick but one I wouldn't count out. He was on his way to a monster season but tore his achilles,He's looked fine in camp so thats good. BAL has a deeper offense with a lot of mouths to feed and that could hurt SSR but he could suprise us yet again.

Fleener shpuld ball out in the saints scheme(thinking 850-900 yards and 7-8 TDS) He might not find his stride until a bit later but I love the fit and talent(And the saints other TEs behing him lol).

Allen's a good backup and will start weekly on some teams. He's good insurance.


Both K and DST are very good

Talented and deep team with question marks about RB depth.

Coco:

quote:

QB:

I believe both QBs(Eli/Dalton) will be serviceable Mid-Tier options that compliment your team nicely. Eli has OBJ and a talented Sterling shepard but you know how inconsistent he can be. Dalton was having a hell of a season(only 3 weeks below 18 fantasy points) before breaking his thumb. He lost Sanu/Marvin Jones but gets Tyler Boyd and Lafell so thats not much of a downgrade.



RBs:

quote:

Woodhead is getting older but is still very effective as a high end RB2 or Borderline 1/2. With a healthier group of Keenan Allen and now Benjamin I expect a slight regression.

J-Stew was decent value in the 5th,He's injury prone and aging but should be a good enough RB2 even though he's not exciting. He was a bit disappointing last year despite having the backfield for himself and maybe he takes another step forward.

Gore won't win you weeks anymore but is a safe RB3 that will get you 12-13 points a week. I do worry about his age and their line but he'll be money at the goaline.

Riddick is basically a younger woodhead. He won't do much for you rushing wise but a great receiver on a pretty good offense. He's got the 3rd down role locked up and should do very well. Nice value in the 7th.




WR:

quote:

You probably have the best WR duo in the league. OBJ+Hopkins is sick and they'll both destroy people. I do think DHs 192 targets will take a slight step back with Lamar there and a talented WR corps.

I love decker too and think he's an every week WR2. people kinda forget how good he is.

Snead will hover around 900 yards and 5-6 TDs imho. I think @cantguardmike will slightly impact him but he's got drew's trust and has great skills even though he doesn't have the best size/speed.

Austin has a lot of upside but the rams will be the gurley show. I don't see him getting 10 total TDs again but 1,000 yards from scrimmage is likely and he'll hopefully be helped by slightly better QBs. Good roll of the dice late.

Barnidge and Witten are a quality duo at TE. I like RG3 for Barnidge as he like his TEs and the browns have a very green WR core. Witten is boring but reliable and dak should throw to him and that should work out fine.


D/ST and K are fine

I like this team a lot with a fantastic group of WRs and boring but reliable RBs.

I'll do them if I get drunk this weekend but I'm too devastated by how my draft went and I really don't want to even think about this league.

TTT:


quote:

QB: Wilson has a bit lower ceiling than some of the other guys but has a great floor. I don't buy the crazy finish too much but I like him at 30 TDs and 10 picks with some rushing stats.

RB:

Murray is one of the best RBs in the league when healthy and should be playing in a better scheme than lol chip Kelly. He's not without fault due to derrick henry and a somewhat shaky online.

I like Bernard as a RB2,I feel he's a bit underrated and he does everything pretty well on a team committed to the run. The only things though are Jeremy hills possible resurgence and gios own inconsistency at times.

Crowell should have a nice season as a "thunder" role guy and his type has done well with RG3(see Alfred morris). He was a nice value where you got him and a RB3 season is a good bet.

Aiyaji/Coleman are in a similar situation(two young backs competing with 2 very talented backs) I believe both will have flex value but need other things to break their way to thrive.

Thompson has a beatable Matt Jones in front but I don't see it this year.

quote:


WR:

Julio/Jordy is obviously an incredible duo that will win weeks in their own. I have small concerns about jordy being 31 and coming back to huge snaps after a while away.

T.Y can be a bit wonky due to being a deep threat but I buy the bounce back with a fully healthy luck.

I had brown last year and enjoyed his production. I have him on that WR2/3 borderline and another 1000 yard season should be in play. I worry a bit about his concussion but he should be fine and ARI having so many mouths to feed.

Boyd was a really sneaky pick late and has keeper potential IMO. The Bengals need someone besides AJ and he's the second most talented guy on that roster.

Love Kelce and he's easily the 2nd best Weapon they have at the receiving end. I expect a top 3 finish.


Rams D will take slight step back but should be at least serviceable.

This is top to bottom a really deep and talented squad that should contend.

Nonetheless:

quote:

QB:

I like Winston this year a lot(actually had a thought or two about keeping him) he had a strong rookie year and has a talented group of weapons(Evans/Vjax/ASJ/Martin/Sims) and isn't afraid to run it which boosts him. I don't think near 30 TDs is out of the question but remember he's still young.

RB:

Gurleys a beast and will absolutely be the focal point on an offense that has moderate talent elsewhere. I could certainly see 1500 yards. His only knock is that he isn't much of a reciever yet.

Gordon had a rough rookie year(3.5 YPC and no TDs rushing) but looks great in preseason and will have a healthier and better offense at all levels(SD had a bad Oline last year) I dig him as a RB2 with upside.

You have a trio of young interesting pascatching backs:

James White should be a good flex until Dion lewis comes back,after that I'm not really a fan.

Sims has an entrenched role ad the third down back and is another flex guy with RB2 upside if Doug Martin gets hurt. He had a really nice under the radar season last year.

I really liked booker at Utah and should play a similar role behind C.J Anderson as sims behind Doug martin. Kubiak isn't afraid to get a young back snaps and bookers skill set fits very well.



quote:


WR:

Green took a bit of a step back last year but will return as a top 5ish WR that will have monster games as the undisputed option in CIN. Eifert being out for a while should boost him even further.

Allen might have the most upside of the WR2s. He absolutely kills it when healthy and was on the way to a huge year until he got hurt. With an even better supporting cast and a very good QB in rivers the sky is the limit and I'm a big believer.

Crabtree isn't spectacular but is very reliable and will be a mid range WR3 even with a slight step back.

VJax is honestly on the decline but should be a serviceable WR3/4. He's in a similar situation to crabtree but older.

Funchess is the 2nd best WR by a good margin on the panthers and should breakthrough. I'm excited by his potential and think he has keeper potential.

Dorsett is an underrated choice that will play a ton in the 3 WR set the colts love to run. He wasn't too great as a rookie but had injuries so you got a good buy low on a talented youngster with 4.33 speed.

TE:

If cook will ever be a TE1 its this year,there's no excuses with Aaron Rodgers as your QB. If he does you got an absolute steal.

Bennett won't be Hernandez but will be serviceable at worst.

This is a team with some good top guys and a lot of intriguing bench guys.


Drake I'll do yours during the day tomorrow and a couple more after the saints game.
