QB: Ryan Tannehill and Russell Wilson finish the year with more points than Ryan and Romo
RB: Joique Bell will be a top 12 back
Demarco Murray will be a top 5 rb
Montee Ball will not be a top 10 rb
WR: Rookie Mike Evans finishes in the top 20 of WR and wins rookie of the year
Andre Johnson will be a top 8 wr again
Ruben Randle becomes a must start

can you tell us which top 5 RB is just gonna fall off the face of the earth this year?
Posted on 8/25/14 at 11:58 am to Lester Earl
nah
maybe Lynch, but I feel like his demise has been exaggerated. He looked good the other night.
Top 5 seem more safe than in year's past, I only see 1 disappointing due to injury if it happens.

My money is on Charles. O-line is in shambles after losing Albert. Fisher moves to RT where he sucked last year. Last year they had the easiest schedule with defenses and pick up the NFC west this year.

I have charles regressing, but with captain check down at QB he's still a lock to catch a lot of passes

I feel like Forte is the "safest" top 5 RB, knock on wood.

Ray Rice was a 1k rusher and caught a ton of passes, though.
I liken Gio to Sproles. People were hitching their wagons to Sproles as their RB1 after he had that huge year. He had almost 100 carries for 600 yards and caught 85 balls and was the 5th best RB. All of a sudden, his carries got cut in half and teams start game planning for him. He still caught 75 balls, but that 600 yards rushing turned to 200 and he wasn't the RB1 option people thought he was.

I wouldn't want him as my #1 unless I had a team full of solid WR and was looking for a PPR guy. The problem is that he's too expensive for that role.

I was down on rice because his OL was shite, offensive weapons were meh, and I thought he looked a little fat going into the season.
But Ray's breakout season people said the same stuff about him in the preseason, not big enough, McGahee is the back own etc. etc
Gio is a better RB than sproles, I don't think that's a fair comparison

I like Forte a lot, had him on one of my squads last year.
but he had the highest snap count of any RB last year.
last year I remember people talking about his durability concerns before the season started. After making it through last year unscathed, I want to see if he can do it again.
I think there will be somewhat of a hangover for him. Still going to be a solid back but not a Top 5 back.
just my opinion.

Good:
QB- Ryan Tannehill + Lazor = Top 10 QB
RB- Andre Ellington Choo Choos his way to top 6
WR- Kelvin Benjamin is the rookie wr to own and finishes top 20
TE- Travis Kelcy takes the fantasy world by storm and teaches people 2 years in a row not to pay high prices for tight ends
Bad
QB- Cam just cant get it done with a shite oline and hobbled by his ankle
RB- Leveon Bell did his potential drafters a favor getting high, he was being taken in 2nd round territory and will be in a time share with blount.
WR- AJ Green falls out of top 8, TY Hilton isn't Top 40
TE- Gronk plays about 6 games before he is injured again
Crazy
CE Tiger sweeps the fantasy board and wins DAT, Regulars, and TDFL

pretty sure he and Mccoy have missed the same amount of games, I don't get why forte has been given the injury label. All of the high volume guys carry that big risk.

yeah, it didn't scare me away from bidding real high on him (Forte).
I just don't know if I'll do it again this year.
I spent $56 on him.
he put up the best numbers of his career last year, just a little skeptic he doesn't match those numbers this year.

Rice is a stronger runner than Gio, though. He was getting 250 on upwards of 300 carries. You see Gio getting that workload? I see him getting a workload more similar to Sproles, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
o/u 170 carries for Gio? That's what he got last season.

I love AP in Norv's offense. Should add a few catches to his season totals.
Posted on 8/25/14 at 12:28 pm to GynoSandberg
Over 250 total touches
60 catches, 190 carries
60 catches, 190 carries

So what... 180 carries, 70 catches?
Posted on 8/25/14 at 12:33 pm to GynoSandberg
sproles had how many carries last year? 50?
Over.
At least he'll be given the opportunity early, his job to lose. If he isn't effective then yeah under, but I think he will be.
