2014 Fantasy Questions for Homers of the Final Four (1 Viewer)

[BassNBrew]

1. NE - Who is the RB with value in NE next year? Ridley, Blount, Vereen, or not on the roster? Does Edelman lead the pats in catches and yards next year?

2. Seattle - Yes or no...20% drop off for Lynch next year? Where would you rank Harvin among the WRs next year?

3. SF - Is Crabtree a WR1 next year (let's say top 12) or is there too much other talent on a run first offense?

4. Den - Same question as this year...Moreno or Ball? While Thomas, Decker, Welker, and Thomas will all be drafted high, who offers the best value based on your expected draft position of them?

I'd say Blount has the highest value if them, but none current are "high" per se. Edelman? Lol. They'll pick someone up.

I think Beast Mode still goes strong next year. Don't see a reason to see otherwise as long as that offense runs similarly to this season. Harvin...are we assuming he plays 16 games?

Don't see Crabtree top 12. Give him top 20 tho. And the run will be featured even more next year now that they can get Lattimore into the action.

Think it totally depends on Peyton and this neck exam. If he's done after this year, I think they try and start anew on that offense and pass the reigns over to Ball. And hard to say for those group of WRs without knowing Peyton's status for next year.

Where did you come up with the 20% number for Lynch? A study?

Also, Decker will be a FA and Denver may not have the cap room to re-sign him.

Just pulled the 20% out of the air. At some point Turbin/Michael will get more looks. Lynch isn't going to keep banging out these seasons forever. You expect status quo year year on this front?

Good to know about Decker.

Pats:

*The RB with the highest value is Vereen...I say that because his role will be the easiest to predict...assuming he stays healthy (a big if) you know what you have with him...he will be a very high-end Kevin Faulk in this offense and will have value whether the Pats run a lot or throw a lot...both Ridley and Blount may have a higher ceiling but they have a much lower floor...Blount is a great story and looks awesome right now but let's remember that Gronk is out and there is not a TE on their roster who can catch...so expect another quality TE to join Gronk...also, Dobson, Thompkins and Boyce are all rookies and all hurt...all three have a chance to contribute nicely next year...while the days of Air Belichik maybe over I still see the Pats being more of a throwing team once they get their full arsenal back...

*If Edelman re-signs I expect him to rip off about three straight years of his current production...the kid can play, he understands the offense, Brady trusts him and he has found his niche in their offense...you will see people dismiss him (like many did Welker to a point) but I really believe he will keep chugging along...as long as he doesn't get a foolish offer elsewhere...if that happens they will let him walk...

3. SF - Is Crabtree a WR1 next year (let's say top 12) or is there too much other talent on a run first offense?

In Harbaugh's three years at the helm, they've thrown the ball 451, 436, and 417 times. Not only are those totals about a quarter less than the NFL average, they're trending in the wrong direction.

If the 9ers lost Davis for the year and Crabtree became the unquestioned go-to RZ guy as a result, I'd say top-12 would be a good bet. Short of that, he'd probably need to get a Brandon Marshall-in-2012 portion of Kaep's targets for me to feel comfortable about him putting up WR1 numbers. I get a feeling he's going to be overdrafted next season just because of his talent and the Niners being so high-profile.
