Teddy Bridgewater perhaps? He has quietly turned in a good rookie season despite losing his top running back, top TE for part of the season, and the disappearance of Cordarelle Patterson.Was trying to think if any QBs are likely to be undervalued next year, and I can't think of one. Not to say there won't be one, just that whoever it is will probably come out of nowhere. Foles return? Cam (Kaep?) finds his old form? One of the young QBs (Bortles? Manziell?) fulfills his promise? Mariotta/Winston takes the league by storm?
The one I could possibly see is Wilson making the leap into elite passer, as opposed to fantasy stud based on solid passing numbers + running. But even that is unlikely, I think. As long as they have that D, Seattle's going to remain conservative on offense.
latest i saw him go was the early 3rd. he was late first in plenty of drafts. i would expect the same next draft. his points per game is just way too enticing.Glad to see Foster hasn't lost his yearly role on everyone's bust list. That just means I'll get him late again next year.
I expect Cam to be undervalued. In a year where just about everything's gone wrong for him, he's still 10th in FP/G in standard FBG scoring. He had a huge game right before the car crash and looked like he might finish the season strong. If he plays again this year he probably won't play that well, but that will only make him more affordable next season.Was trying to think if any QBs are likely to be undervalued next year, and I can't think of one.

Bell might be a bust next year due to a suspension or bringing in another back, but he won't be a bust because they pass too much. He has 72 receptions this year for 765 yards.BOOMS:
QB: Matt Ryan (skeptics from this season may overlook a healthier O-Line next season)
WR: Odell Beckham Junior (high pick but top 5)
RB: Jerrick McKinnon (deep sleeper)
TE: Ladarius Green (One year removed from the big break season apparently)
Rookie with Impact Potential: Amari Cooper (not quite the spectacle of Watkins, but should be dependable with reasonable upside)
Living on a Prayer Pick: Cordarelle Patterson (Talent may finally become more refined with new focus)
BUSTS:
QB: Peyton Manning (if he comes back, his age and weapons lost will catch him. QB1 but on the low end)
WR: AJ Green (Distrust in Dalton may lead to offseason controversy and collapse)
RB: Demarco Murray (it's either him or Dez leaving most likely, I'd guess he underachieves in a new system)
TE: Greg Olson (for maybe the 4-5 TE off he'll be a disappointment when Panthers sign Murray and utilize a block heavy approach?)
Rookie with Disappointing Results: Mariota (who in that top 3-5 will put him in a good situation?)
Living on a Satanic Curse Pick: LeVeon Bell (probably #1 overall, but they'll throw far more with that aging defense)
Picking at the turn looks to be another deadly year for RB's. There's really none there at the 1/2 turn so you're stuck going with a QB/WR or WR/WR and then the 3/4 turn comes around and they all suck and there's still good WR's there.
Mason in the second? Before C.J. Anderson? Hmm...
take a hike DEBBIE DOWNERSo we are guessing for next years sleepers and busts before this season is even over?
Seems like this thread will provide usefulness.
Obviously a lot of their value comes from Manning, but Anderson has shown more ability the last few weeks than Ball ever has.I feel that C.J. Anderson will be a bust if they don't bring someone in to be the starter. Same thing will happen to him that happened with Ball this year. I don't trust these guys because I feel their value comes from Manning, not their innate talent.
There's probably still room to join the group circle jerk in the ODB thread. Better hurry, though.So we are guessing for next years sleepers and busts before this season is even over?

Why are you so high on Mason? I have the chance to hold onto him in a keeper league, and I just haven't bought into the hype. What am I missing?-Tre Mason- I think he ends up being the 2nd year back that emerges as a top 5-10 overall fantasy RB next year. Any upgrades to the OL and QB in St. Louis will only help him and that young defense looks fantastic. Figure their game scripts end up quite a bit like Seattle's have the last few years with lots of running plays.
Everything is there. Great defense to keep them in games, good offensive line, lack of big time play makers at the wide receiver spot, and no great quarterback so they will rely more on running the ball.Why are you so high on Mason?

This makes me worry that opposing defenses will play the run and dare Bradford/Hill/Davis/Tony Banks/Some Guy off the Street to beat them through the air.Everything is there.

Teams do it to the Chiefs all the time, Charles and Davis have run all over teams. Jamal Lewis did it for the Ravens, Lynch has done it for a few years, although I wouldn't count this year because Wilson has taken a massive step forward.IheartGuinness said:This makes me worry that opposing defenses will play the run and dare Bradford/Hill/Davis/Tony Banks/Some Guy off the Street to beat them through the air.msudaisy26 said:Everything is there.

ESPN Saints reporter Mike Triplett considers second-year WR Brandon Coleman a player to keep an eye on for 2015.
A 2014 undrafted free agent out of Rutgers, Coleman stands in at a towering 6-foot-6, 225 pounds. He ran a competent 4.56 40-yard dash at last year's Combine, and caught five passes for 50 yards last preseason. With the Saints passing on drafting a receiver, the depth chart is wide open behind Brandin Cooks and Marques Colston.

Excerpts from the linked article:ESPN Saints reporter Mike Triplett believes receivers Nick Toon, Seantavius Jones and Brandon Coleman should be "on your radar screen."
Amazingly, the Saints didn't draft a receiver after trading away Jimmy Graham and Kenny Stills, leaving Toon as the de facto No. 3. Jones and Coleman are 2014 undrafted free agents who spent the year on the practice squad before late season cups of coffee. Triplett believes they will be legitimate competitors for New Orleans' Nos. 4 and 5 jobs. Coleman is a mountainous 6-foot-6, while Jones stands in at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds. He clocked a 4.53 40 at his Pro Day, and posted a 3/17/1 receiving line last preseason.

Jones and Coleman both signed with the Saints as undrafted free agents following last year’s draft -- Jones, a 6-foot-3, 200-pounder from Valdosta State and Coleman a hard-to-miss, 6-6, 225-pounder from Rutgers.
Coleman got more attention last summer because of his size and because he was more well-known in the pre-draft process. He struggled with drops early in camp but bounced back nicely. Jones, meanwhile, slipped a little further under the radar. But both players made the practice squad, and Jones actually got promoted to the active roster first (in Week 15) before Coleman joined him in Week 17. Neither appeared in a game, though.
Payton referenced Jones and Coleman three times Saturday during a lengthy answer on his confidence in the current receiving corps, at one point saying, “I think we’re going to hear a lot of good things from Seantavius Jones and Brandon Coleman.”
Payton also singled out Toon, a fourth-year pro who finally started to make an impact last year after the early part of his career was plagued by injuries, inconsistency and lack of opportunity above all else.
“We think Nick Toon’s developing. A lot of the snaps last year toward the end of the year we started seeing him make some plays. He’s a tremendous worker who’s got size,” Payton said of the 6-4, 218-pounder, who didn’t catch a pass until Week 12 but finished with 17 catches for 215 yards and a touchdown over the final six games.
Good call.Charles Simms. Martin didn't get extended, and isn't in the teams long term plans.
Pewter Report says the Bucs want to feature Charles Sims this season.
Pewter Report is one of the best team blogs out there. "Still think Doug Martin may not play a down in Tampa this year and may get traded prior to the season," they tweeted Monday in the wake of Martin's fifth-year option getting declined. It's clear the Lovie Smith regime is understandably low on Muscle Hamster and high on its hand-picked man in Sims. But they have plenty of cap room and Sims has the look of a change-of-pace/passing-down back right now. It's a situation to track this offseason, especially with the Bucs improving their run-game outlook by adding two offensive linemen in the second round of the draft.

Cardinals in-house reporter Darren Urban says the team was already "counting" on a breakout from second-year TE Troy Niklas before John Carlson's surprise retirement on Tuesday.
Coming off an injury-ruined rookie year, the 2014 second-rounder finds himself atop the depth chart alongside Darren Fells. Carlson's retirement does little for Niklas' fantasy stock, as he's a heavy-footed possession receiver in the Anthony Fasano mold. Bruce Arians' tight ends aren't counted on to make plays with the football.
