I don't know why I keep doing this, but I can find these things too.
quote:
Montee Ball, RB, Denver Broncos:
Everyone who thinks Ball is a slam-dunk first-round pick, I ask you this: Can you name a player who had a worse rookie year and then was a no-doubt first-rounder as a soph? Ball is more talented than Knowshon Moreno, and he should've blown Moreno out of the water last summer. He was supposed to be so pro-ready, and yet he fumbled and whiffed on blocks and looked meh running the ball. So now Moreno has moved on, and Ball has the inside track to a job that made Moreno the No. 5 RB in fantasy last year. He could absolutely repeat this performance, but how sure are you? Does it usually work out well when we draft not the players themselves, but rather their roles? I've bumped Ball up to the No. 10 spot in my RB ranks, so I guess I'm all aboard the hype train. But I acknowledge it could derail.

Well he's not a no doubt 1st rounder. He's in that same class of RB as Bell, Lacy, Bernard.
How many 2nd year, 1st time starters step into a situation where they are now in a record setting offense playing next to arguably the greatest QB to ever play the game?
High powered offense
Teams cannot stack box
Manning throw to RBs
Goal line opportunities are there
No real threat to steal carries
Proved to be decent enough in limited time
You aren't finding many teams using 1 exclusive back, much less one that has the best offense in the league. If Ball is great, you hit a HR. If he averages 3 ypa and is a plodder, you hit a single, bc he probably still catches a few balls and gets goaline looks.. So worst case scenario? 10 PPG?
