2012 PPR Monsters (1 Viewer)

[andrew11]

I'm leaving RB's off this list. The top 5 WR/TE in receptions last year were as follows...

Welker - 122

Roddy - 100

Graham - 99

Calvin - 96

Gronk - 90

Who will rank in the top 5 this year? Any repeats?

I think Brandon Marshall and Victor Cruz have a great shot to land in the top 5 for receptions this year. Also wouldnt be surprised to see Aaron Hernandez switch places with Gronk this year. Hernandez had 79 catches in 14 games so he was on pace for 90 over a full season.

I always go by targets over receptions if the guy doesn't change teams so here are some guys I'm targeting that can increase in value the easiest IMO

Stevie Johnson: 134

Bowe: 142

Pettigrew: 126

Brown:124

Mike Williams (TB): 124

Obviously guys higher than them like Welker but as far as mid round guys? I like guys who have the ball tossed their direction more often

 

[andrew11]

I like the Mike Williams pick. A lot of people are overlooking him with his bad year last year and the Vjax signing. But Freeman likes this guy a lot. And word out of camp is that Williams is in better shape and "get's it" more this year.

I like Bowe to catch 90+ balls this year.

I have seen reports that Williams is not a favorite of the staff and is in danger of losing his starting job, so obviously there are conflicting reports.

Mike Williams is listed as the No. 2 receiver on the Bucs' initial depth chart.Despite offseason speculation to the contrary, he remains ahead of Preston Parker. It's good news for Williams that the new coaching staff isn't making him "earn" his starting job, but he'll still be on notice during the preseason. It would be surprising if he isn't lined up opposite Vincent Jackson come Week 1. Aug 7 - 9:04 AMSource: Buccaneers.com Regardless, I hardly see Williams as a PPR "monster."

Brandon Marshall.

ETA - what is up with all the Mike Williams talk? The WR2 (supposedly disfavored), who has never had more than 130 targets or 65 receptions, with a bad catch rate to boot, on a run-first team, who just bought a shiny-new sports car?

I don't think I could think of more reasons why to avoid him in PPR.

Re: Williams--

Lots of new pieces to account for in the Bucs' offense. Personally, I'd be surprised if his targets even stayed the same vs last year. IMO, his chunk of the pie is likely going to go down, no matter what news is coming out of the Bucs' camp at any given moment.

If he sticks as the #2 WR I think he will do ok. Winslow's 75 receptions are gone and VJax should draw coverage away from Williams.

Steve Smith

 

[Coeur de Lion]

Obviously Brandon Marshall is a solid bet to be pushing toward the 90-100 catch point. If he plays 16 games, Marques Colston could be there also. He's at 5.66 catches / game the past two years and Meacham is gone.

 

[Late225]

amendola

Steve Smith

Get both. The price is right.

Cam with one year under his belt will be playing catch with Smiff all year long.

It has more to do with targets, Vjax, and him being picked up as a WR 4 or WR5. This guys has and ADP around over 100..

I like both Maclin and Lloyd this year to see a lot of targets

I believe you've got the wrong Steve Smith. I am pretty sure he meant Steve Smith, the Rams version.

Wat? There are a ton of pro-Lloyd folks on these boards, and I'm pretty sure even the most rabid of them would hesitate to call him a "PPR monster." Lloyd is more valuable in standard leagues. Zero chance he's a 90+ catch guy with all the mouths to feed in NE.

Yeah, I think Smiff has more value in non-PPR due to big plays and TDs. SS on the Rams has a chance to get 70+ as their possession WR.

 

[Tornacl]

Although they are not likely to be near the top of the WR standings, these are a few guys that I think could produce pretty well in dynasty leagues relative to their cost/draft position. I would look at them as people to pick up in dynasty leagues (many of them are on the waiver wire or can be had very cheap) or to target in the last few rounds of re-draft leagues.

Danny Amendola - previously mentioned, great value.

Jordan Shipley - Good rookie year, said to look sharp in camp. Dalton doesn't have a strong arm, so will likely look to the short-medium routes, plus

AJ Green will always have the D's attention.

Doug Baldwin - cost is a little more than the others, but surprising lack of love for last year's production

Dexter McCluster - Dirt cheap, explosive, and now a WR. Two good outside WRs guarantee coverage focused on Bowe/Baldwin.

Keshawn Martin - reliable WR at Michigan State, having a great off-season. Good YAC ability. Strong run game and AJ on the outside.

Dsvid Nelson - Not very exciting in YAC, but for the price will catch a decent number of passes/TDs.

 

[Todd Andrews]

For TE Fred Davis could really surprise this year in PPR/performance.

 

[fruity pebbles]

Like Stevie Johnson in port at his current price. Little competition and played with a torn growing last season. Still caught 80 odd passes. 90 is a distinct possibility Imo.
