Let's see if any of us can predict THE guys. #'s please. No "he's going to be an awesome receiver... High WR2."

I'm seeing another OBJ... on OBJ's team. Route running is beautiful. Shifty. High powered aerial offense. I really think the Giants can support two 1200-1500yd WRs. I will probably reach for him with my 6th 0.5ppr pick. Semi-bold prediction:

Sterling Shepherd 75rec 1250yds 9TDs

That would equal 254 1pt ppr total points, 16ppg. Not happening.

I think he'll have value, but more like 55-700-5, 10+ppg range. 75-1250-9 would eclipse just about every current WRs rookie season not named OBJ.

If I had to guess on players vastly outperforming their ADP, I'll go:

Desean Jackson
Torrey Smith

And that's why they call it bold

I want to like DeVante but Tannehill hasn't shown me anything he can consistently use a weapon like Parker. All he does is short pass to Landry all day.

There is not much risk at his adp

A guy like Deandre Hopkins faces the same challenge and he's a top 5 pick

We get it, you're not big on Nuk this year.

No

I'm not big on Osweiler. Hopkins will be ok due to the # of plays that offense runs and sheer volume of targets. Wouldn't be shocked if he only catches half his targets though

Since I already own 2 shares, I'm tossing up Charles Sims.

He won't win a league, but his ADP is 8.12 in 12 team PPR. He scored 11.3ppg last year PPR and set for volume increase. His teammate Doug Martin scored 14.5ppg and is ADP 2.12.

2015: 107-529-0, 51-561-4, 11.3ppg. top20 PPR.

Bold 2016: 120-490-2, 60-580-4, 12.5+ppg. top15 PPR.

Jeremy Hill going in the 7th is going to win people a lot of leagues.

Kevin White could be a no.1 WR in Chicago by fantasy playoffs. Most projections have him in rounds 6-8.

Duke Johnson PPR capable back who can produce 10-15 poiints weekly on a consistent basis. A 4th to 6th rounder.

Jimmy Graham at 11th round or later is interesting as well.

Mike Thomas from the saints will light it up this year... I'm sure a lot of Nola based drafts will scoop him up, but in most of the mock drafts I've done online, he's gone I drafted lol

Has NO ever had a true WR1 that's mid-high range?

I think Thomas will put up pretty good stats but no more than Snead '15 but even lesser because of the Snead/Cooks/Thomas/Fleener/Ingram timeshare

Not sure what colstons fantasy value was in his prime but I can tell you mike thomas will more than likely be the number 2 WR with Snead playing a lot of slot WR

I'd probably bet good money that Thomas will have more fantasy value than Snead, but the saints' offensive players are a lot like New England's... One week they might get you 15 points in a ppr league then the next week, zero

I was lucky enough to pick up David Johnson of the Cardinals late last season. He went beast mode in the playoffs. My only concern with him is Andre Ellington getting carries from him. I think that CJ2K is done for.

I think it definitely helps to have one player that isn't going to put up huge numbers but you know that when he's in your lineup, you're guaranteed a certain number of points every week. Last year, Eric Decker of the Jets was that guy for me.
