3 must haves... 3 must avoids (1 Viewer)

I'll fix this to be 3 and 3 later.

I like Dalton this year for the number of weapons - the line is sketchy though.

I will go against the grain of this thread - I like Mixon and will target him.  Hill is the nominal starter but the writing is on the wall.  Hewitt has been essential a FB for Hill but in camp they have been making him more of a true tight end.  I think the offense will be more spread out with quick passes.  Mixon is going to eat Hill's lunch.  Will see if my mind changes over preseason.

Burkhead is a perfect fit for New England and will be a bargain.  Bengals fans were upset to lose him - we thought he was the Hill replacement tbh.

As a Bengals fan I never wanna takr Palmer but I do think it is getting to be the end of the line.  

I won't draft any NO RBs with that coach I simply refuse now.

I legit wonder if the Jets will be the first team with 0 players picked in my 150 pick offense only league.

As bad as they could be, every offense has at least 1 player who is a solid flex. I have both Powell and Forte in my top-150. Powell might be in my top-80. Jets RBs could easily catch 125 passes this year.

Mixon is easily the better talent and should be the starter.  It will all depend on how he adjusts to pass protecting in the NFL.  An easy way for a RB to see the bench is miss a pass blocking assignment and get your QB killed.

I actually hope Hill holds him off through Week 1, it keeps Mixon's price down.  If Mixon becomes the starter in preseason, his ADP is going to skyrocket to a point where I would just pass on drafting him and see how Mixon does in the first few weeks.  If he gets off to a slow start, you can acquire him then for a cheaper price.

One beat writer has Hill projected as the start.  The bengals.com writer thinks Mixon could see 20-23 touches week one.  I think both are possible.  It feels like they are in a slow process of having Mixon 'earn' the spot - not unusual for Marvin to do.  

Side note while I love Ross as a pick and player I think like most rookie WRs he'll have subdued numbers.  Basically I think the bad line is going to neutralize his speed though he can run routes and catch which aren't usually qualities top burners have so there is some hope.

He turned 27 this summer, so aging isn't really a concern.  As for fat and injury prone, both were valid criticisms of Marshawn lynch when he went to Seattle.  Lynch is literally famous for eating candy. He posed naked for ESPN the magazine and got made fun of for being the fattest guy in it.  He also had some injury concerns in buffalo - in three years and change, he never played 16 games for them, and he fell behind the less pedigreed Fred Jackson before they ultimately let him go to Seattle for a fourth and a conditional sixth because he was not well regarded.  

Carroll wanted Lynch specifically because he wanted a big back that ran hard and set a tone for the offense.  That's what he wants from Lacy too. Whether lacy is able to give that to him or not remains to be seen, and I dont blame you for being down on him, but I dont think it's fair to call him "fat, ageing and injury-prone" without mentioning that Carroll had his greatest success with a "fat and injury prone" running back who was in his prime at 27.

I think its Lacy's mental approach that has been holding him back. He needed contract incentives to stay in shape. It's like he does just enough to get by. I don't see him holding off Rawls for very long. 

Maybe he has been humbled and is ready to put in the work, but I dont see it that way.

(Rotoworld) The Seattle Times' Bob Condotta reports Thomas Rawls "appears to be the the clear No. 1 back" right now.

 
I won't put particular players because I think that is the wrong mentality (unless it's a round 12-15 type guy that is basically free). Getting obsessed with drafitng a player can lead to some bad decisions and big reaches. 

Must have: A TE in the Gronk/Kelce/Reed/Olsen/Eiffert/Graham tiers.

Must have: A RB in the DJ/Bell/Zeke/McCoy/Gordon/Murray/Freeman/Ajayi/Howard range

Don't want: A RB in the mid 2nd-4th round

Don't want: Any QB in the Ryan/Carr/Wilson/Winston/Cam range

Good post, what about WRs?

 
Going to stay away from Lamar Miller - had him last year and was disappointed. Now with Blue and Foreman in mix, I am avoiding that menagerie.

On the other hand, I am liking Dalvin Cook to emerge as the lead back in MIN

 
Want:

John Brown - I believe he was simply hurt/sick last year and is a great talent.  Add in a few targets with Floyd gone. 

Crowell - Discussed here already but talented, seeing the light, and improved Oline.

Donta Moncrief and Marvin Jones - Poster children for a nice post hype year bounce back.  Both were overdrafted last year and likely underdrafted this year.  Feel the same about Forte at his price too.

Tyreek Hill - I am simply all in here.  Don't like the escalating price and glowing camp reports but I am still a big time buyer.

Avoid:

Paul Perkins - Someone talk me into this guy?  I just don't believe in the talent.

Dez- TDs should continue to be there, but mounting injury history and lack of volume are a concern.

I agree with this 97%.....the only thing I disagree is Jameis Winston....I like him at his draft price.   Winston would be the first QB I would draft (but I won't overpay.....if someone overpays, then I would just wait and snag Prescott or Rivers or Cousins.

One of the most elusive rbs in college, behind only Derrick Henry. 

When Perkins was drafted, New York immediately started talking about him as the heir apparent.  Then they didn't draft or sign anyone significant and let Jennings walk and declared Perkins their starter in the spring.  

Has been referred to as a three down back by coaches.  

Only back on the giants with a 100 yard rushing game last year. 

Averaged just over 4 yards per carry while the rest of the giants averaged in the low 3s. 

Elusive back with a nasty cutback move that's perfect for the six man boxes he'll face. 

Good receiver, good outside the tackles, can create inside the tackles for a good offense that will get him scoring opportunities.

Good touchdown upside - almost 50% of the plays the giants called inside the 5 were run plays, but the giants backs have sucked at converting recently.

Had one of the sexiest run after catch plays of the year early in the season against the Vikings when they were still playing great defense. 

Needed time to learn blocking (partly because he couldn't practice until he graduated from a late graduating college), but could make a huge leap if he's getting workhorse duties. 

Could get workhorse touches because he has very little competition - Vereen is good but gets hurt, darkwaa just isn't that good, and gallman sucks as a pass blocker and has had a quiet summer/camp. 

Hard to find a 3 down back in the 6th round, let alone for a playoff caliber offense.

That doesn't mean he will be some mega stud, but he's got a pretty good floor barring injury and we're about to find out if he's good enough to have a high ceiling. Seems like a cheap enough price tag all things considered - i honestly don't understand why he's going so late let alone why he's an avoid at his current price but ill take it.

3. B. Cooks - two years ago Pats played Saints in preseason, heck , I think they practiced and scrimmaged with them for a week,then played them. Afterwards, BB said 'I'm glad we dont play Cooks 2X per year'. he LOVED him.now he has him on his team. clearly he saw a lot of Cooks in that week-long practice/scrimmage session to warrant trading a first round pick for him.

Good post.

Just to add: the NYG were in 11 personnel over 90% of their offensive snaps last year.  Very predictable offense with well documented OL issues.  

They added Rhett Ellison, blocking TE via FA, drafted Engram and also signed Brandon Marshall, dude is much bigger than the 3 WRs they had out there all the time last year.  

They also have a couple of fullbacks in camp (played last year without one on the roster).    

I think they will be more diverse in the formations this year, how perkins performs remains to be seen but with the Qs on the round 2-4 RBs this year, I think he's good value at his ADP.

Disagree with a lot of this. Giants fan here (not that it matters).

Perkins is a mediocre talent in my opinion and his draft position reflects that. Not sure where the "heir apparent" stuff comes from other than your typical coachspeak.

About the most positive thing I can say is that he has a good hold on the job and his pure volume could make him a decent play.
 

 
Must haves:

A Rodgers

Dion Lewis/Burkhead

K Benjimen.

You could make the case for CMac but in a Panther centric league someone is going to draft him in the 2nd.  Probably still good value just too high for me and my strategy

Avoids:

Luck - already hurt, team not saying much

Michael Thomas - Going way too high IMO, not a bad player just not enough data to pick him that high

Jordan Howard - I have a bad feeling the Bears are going to be horrendous this season and it will affect his numbers.

I'd put him in the stud category. He's the #1 in a offense that averages about 650 attempts and 5000 passing yards every year and the players behind him aren't that special, Snead, Ginn, Fleener. It will be only due to injury to him or Brees if he doesn't end up as one of the top WR's this year.
Click to expand...
agree.  I LOVE this guy.  Elite talent and #1 option with an elite QB.

 
Must haves:

- Golden Tate - Feels like the perfect WR3 and at the price he's going, you can grab other positions of need sooner and get similar production to a player drafted a round or two before

- AJ Green - Last year he was killing it before he got injured. He's slipping towards the bottom of the first round or early second where I'm drafting and he might very well out perform OBJ/Jones if he can stay healthy

- Keenan Allen - I love grabbing that one player who was injured the year before that the rest of my league avoids and he's in that seat for me this year.

Avoid:

- Lamar Miller - I'm a Texans fan and think others may be surprised at how much use Foreman will get. I think he eats into Miller's points more than folks realize and doesn't justify the price.

- Seattle RBs - Too many mouths with too much up in the air. I can make a case for why Rawls/Lacy/Prosise could or should all start or eat into each other's carries significantly.

- Jordan Reed - I've had him a few years and every time I end up fighting the waiver wire for flavor of the week TEs because he gets hurt. I'd rather pick someone more stable and use my early round picks to stockpile WR or RB.

 
Must have..

WRs - Diggs, M. Bryant, Benjamin, Maclin, Parker

RBs - Gurley, Cook, Martin, Coleman, Hunt, Burkhead

TEs - Ertz, Ertz, Ertz, Ertz, Ertz

No ####### way I'm touching..

WRs - Cooks, ARob, Jefferey, Hilton, Tate, Edelman, Landry

RBs - Fournette, Miller, Hyde, Lynch, Montegomery, Perkins

TEs - Reed, Walker

 
RBs PPR

Haves:  CMC, Mixon, Martin, Hunt

no way:  Lynch, Miller, Ware, Montgomery, Lacy

Click to expand...
I like him fine just not pick 12 or 11 fine.  Would like to see another year or 2 of results before making him my first pick 

 
QB and TE PPR

QB haves:  cousins, rivers, Mariota

QB no way: Wilson, Carr

TE Have:  Kelce, Graham, Sefarian Jenkins

no way:  Olsen, Henry, Doyle

 
Everyone has a price but I don't think I will end up with Le'Veon Bell, unless he is there at the end of the first (12 teamer). You can't deny his talent but the Steelers just abuse the guy. And to add insult to injury they don't really give him the ball at the goal line so even if he manages to make it through 16 games maybe you can hope for 11 TDs. For his price tag I want a guy with 18 TD upside.

Andrew Luck is an obvious avoid this year, injured, bad line team seemingly in perpetual rebuilding mode.  Pass at almost any price.

Tyrod Taylor is another one I have little interest in. He knows how to play without Watkins but I worry that the new staff is just using him as a place holder and Peterman will be their QB by the 3/4 mark.

Honorable mention: Fournette, L.Miller, Carson Wentz (& Alshon), Ty Montgomery & Khalfani Muhammad.

 
Must Have: Tyreek Hill, Russell Wilson, Eddie Lacy, Terrell Pryor, Dalvin Cook

Avoids: Jordan Howard, Brandin Cooks, DeAndre Hopkins, CJ Anderson

 
At their current ADP

Must have: Frank Gore, Terell Pryor, Dalvin Cook

Avoid: AJ Green, Allen Robinson, Leonard Fournette

Obviously I am not impressed with the current Jacksonville offense.  This could be a messy year for them.  I like AJ Green but there are a lot of mouths to feed in Cincy now and I just can't see taking him over others near his ADP.

As for the positives, until Gore shows me that he can't do it, he is well worth choosing at his ADP.  Pryor by all accounts has done the work and now has a capable QB throwing to him and Cook is my leap of faith guy.  I think he has the talent and will be given the opportunity to perform above his ADP.

Of all the names you might expect to find in this thread....

Khalfani Muhammad? Really?

 
I am switching to the new DD this season after being a DD Classic guy for forever and a day, so I am doing lots of mocks to get used to the interface.  A couple of guys that always seem to end up on my team are:

Doug Martin - I understand why his suspension and disappointing performance but I think they are far too down on him.  He has finished as a top five RB in two of the last five seasons and every single thing I have read about him this season points to him having another top season in him. Jaquizz Rogers and/or Charles Sims are simply not good enough to compare to Doug Martin on top of his game.

Tyrell Williams - A couple of people much smarter than me are doing a decent job of convincing me that this is a mistake but I simple love me some Tyrell Williams this year. Yes they drafted Mike Williams but he has missed virtually all of the off-season program and, unless I missed a news flash, he still isn't guaranteed to even be healthy enough to play this season.  Yes Keenan Allen is coming back but I view the eight games he played in 2015 (11 targets/game) as the outlier and his 30 other games (7.8 targets/game) as the more likely scenario for this season. If Tyrell truly established himself as the #2 WR last season, and I think he did, there will be enough targets for him to far outstrip his draft position. Right now I am consistently getting him as a #4 or #5 WR and I think he has mid #2 WR upside this season.  All bets are off next year when they have a presumably healthy Mike Williams.

Rex Burkhead - This is probably more about value than a true belief in Rex but he seems like a much better player than the fantasy world is giving him credit for.  Everyone simply assumes Gillislee will be given the Blount role but why do people assume that? Burkhead is actually a little bigger than Gillislee (5'10" 214 vs 5'11 208). Burkhead also seems to be a more well rounded back, even if Gillislee is a more dynamic runner.  The big red flag with either of these guys is they both have two fumbles on limited touches (161 for Gillislee and 121 for Burkhead). On a Belichick team nothing will send you to the bench faster than not securing the football.  So if I am going to gamble on the crowded NE backfield give me the guy I can get in the 10th round, likely much later (possibly even on waivers) over the one I have to draft in the 7th (maybe earlier).

It's sort of a joke between me and Simon.

When doing my mocks in the online dominator this guy Muhammad (who I had never heard of) kept appearing as a recommendation above guys like Jeremy Hill, Dion Lewis, Latavius Murray, Devontae Booker etc. So I emailed the FBG zendesk to ask what the deal was, some kind of error that should be fixed since I updated projections (although I have not verified that). But the name does stand out, doesn't it?

Aha - thanks for clearing that up. Here I was convinced you had a Muslim bias... j/k.

The Dominator definitely has a couple of annoying bugs this year.

What do you see in Eddie Lacy?
Click to expand...
I am a Seahawks fan. A few things about Lacy and hawks RBs. 

1) Rawls and CJ Prosise can't stay healthy. They are out again this week. Made of glass.

2) Pete loves big backs. He is looking to recreate what he had at USC with White/Bush with Lacy as his White. He hoped the Bush is Prosise but I'd bet on Chris Carson in the Bush role eventually. Prosise can't get on the field.

3) They paid Lacy for a reason. They don't trust Rawls and know his body isnt meant for a heavy workload...just change of pace.

4) The early season "pub" Rawls got was because he was healthy and running with the first team while Lacy was still working his way back from injury. Pete is about "always compete" so they were not going to insta-insert Lacy as the RB1....likely always going to make him work to get it. 

5) Not that this is a huge reason but something I find interesting is John Clayton who is always conservative in projections yet close to the team said a few weeks ago he thinks Lacy will rush for 1,200 yards and 10+ tds.

6) Interior line much improved

7) Lacy has hit his weight targets. Even if he didn't I'd be ok with it....he was averaging 5ypc before he got injured last year. 

Lacy will get the bulk of the carries this year with Rawls subbing in every once in awhile. Prosise and Carson will be third down back with Carson likely taking Rawls carries/roll if/when he is injured. I have Lacy on all teams and I dont own Rawls or Prosise.

ETA: Bend the knee.
