Dynasty Buy High (1 Viewer)

[Mister CIA]

My favorite bandwagons for 2011 - one per position.

QB - Matt Ryan - was concerned at the beginning of the season that he was following a Troy Aikman FF trajectory, but now see him as 80-85% of PManning in his prime (minus the 49 TD season). I'm not too familiar with ATL team needs, but in a WR rich draft I think he can get even better if they pair the right top-five WR prospect with Roddy White.

RB - LeSean McCoy - I've got him ranked below Peterson, Johnson and Charles (and maybe Ray Rice) purely on NFL talent, and behind only Peterson and Foster when it comes to situation - and he's still a work in progress.

WR - Mike Wallace - toughest selection to make. I'd overpay for the likes of Hakeem Nicks and Mike Williams too, but I'm infatuated with Wallace's Speed Kills game.

TE - Jimmy Graham - eyeball test, situation, eyeball test and eyeball test - The Finley Buster.

 

[I was in the pool]

I couldn't agree more.

Ryan has shown such control of the line of scrimmage this season that another weapon or two on offense would be very scary. Jenkins has been a surprise this season, but the WR position is a need.

McCoy is in the perfect situation for his talents. Unless you are in a full 1.0 PPR, I would be concerned about his competition for GL carries and overall TDs.

My favorite Wallace quote from an announcer is "he doesn't even know how good he can be at this point". Very true. He just started to learn how to run NFL routes in 2010 - so everything you are seeing so far in his career is on pure talent alone. Scary.

Graham went from a project in the off-season to a nice weekly pick-up in leagues when Shockey went down to now a highly-talented potential stud with a buzz about him unlike anything since this past July and a guy named Finley. In one league I was leaning towards keeping Hernandez at TE for next year, but right now, it's a no-brainer in Graham's direction for me.

Is Cook approaching that level? At this point I'm all in on Graham and if healthy his playoff run will do what Finley's did for him last year.

 

[thriftyrocker]

Britt?

Cook is still sitting at #24 on my TE rankings for 2011. His metrics are not very good, the QB position is shaky at best, they are a running team and Scaife is still lurking. Other than all those things - I think he has a lot of upside.

Britt?

[/quote

I have Britt at #23 for next year at WR, but #17-#24 are pretty interchangeable depending on your taste. His talent is not the question, it's everything else. Sounds a lot like Bowe from a couple years ago, so there is a lot of hope for Britt.

 

[zamboni]

Agree on Ryan, but would also add Freeman.

He's the cornerstone of a young, dynamic looking offense. Only detriment is the Benn injury, but I think Freeman can blossom regardless. And his running ability gives him more value for those leagues that reward QB rushing points.

Scaife? He gone. Cook had 15/196/1 the last 3 weeks of the year. Obviously it was an audition (he may not get used that much next year) but I think he got the part. Not that far fetched to expect a Keller-like year next year (700 yards, 5 TDs, some hot streaks and some frustrating ones).

Seriously considered Freeman as my one pick at QB in the thread opener, but I think his 25/6 TD/INT ratio represents his peak (and a fine peak it is). I think Ryan's peak is a little bit higher, but I'd still have no issue overpaying for Freeman this off-season.

 

[The Shizzle]

I would rather have Pettigrew at TE over Cook, Scaife, Finley & Graham.

no one wants Scaife.Over Cook sure I could see that.Over Graham I don't see itOver Finley ?

Bump...Pettigrew?

I'm sure he was just kidding.

 

[BuckeyeChaos]

assuming full 1 ppr I'll throw out a buy high and a buy low

Freeman at QB ( I think Schaub might be a buy low due to his down year)

Peyton Hillis -CLE still needs to throw to RB (Jahvid Best is an awsome buy low)

tempted to go Wallace or M Williams South but I'm running Nicks out here, (Fitz could be a buy low)

Finley bounce back!! (Moeaki for super sleeper buy low)

Bump...Pettigrew?

Wrong... if Scaife is even listed with these names it's bump Scaife.

Please tell me the 22 WRs ahead of Britt. I can easily count 8, but then it gets tough.

Wow. Never saw that site before but I'm not sure if I agree with a lot of those rankings... I would take Britt over the following WRs in any league, dynasty or not: Miles Austin, Sidney Rice, Mike Williams, Brandon Marshall (given his being in Miami), Demaryius Thomas, Randy Moss, Percy Harvin, Santonio Holmes, and depending on where he ends up, Vincent Jackson. In a dynasty league, he's ahead of Reggie Wayne, Brandon Lloyd, A. Boldin, and maybe even Colston.

Anyway, there's a lot of depth at the WR position next year...

Peterson is actually in a pretty bad situation. Nowhere comparable to the Texans, had AD played in Houston this season he would have ran for 3000 yards and 30 TD's.

Britt is clearly a top 20 WR, and more likely in the group right after the top 10. I think SSOG's rankigs are old, but he has never been a fan of Britt. It wasnt more than a month or two ago he had him behind Devin Hester.

Perhaps they give triple points for punts returned for a TD.

That doesnt explain having Randy Moss ahead of Britt as of 2.5 weeks ago. Maybe you get bonus points for switching teams.

 

[Steed]

I'm pretty sure SSOG's been busy with a 2nd job over the holidays so let's take it easy with the snide remarks.

What's your explaination for your horrible calls?

You guys have to lighten up, its wasnt meant to be snide, just having a little fun. Although i would like to know why he has Moss that high.

 

[wiscstlatlmia]

Calvin Johnson...and dont trade him for anything in the next 7 years...

He has a "Last Updated' column and they were updated 12/14.The point wasn't to say that his rankings were correct but to show there was more than one person who put Britt outside the top 20.

 

[Banger]

Charles is at the top of my list. Haven't gotten him yet but will keep trying.

True, Freeman's 4:1 ratio of TDs to INTs likely won't be repeated. But while the INTs will likely pick up as Freeman airs it out more, so will the TDs and yardage. Definitely some upside there as all the young skill players mature. A decent veteran #2 WR to fill in for Benn while he heals would also help Freeman's numbers.

I like both of these. I already own Graham so it's Wallace that interests me the most. He's in that same spot That VJax was in a few years ago, getting between 6 and 7 targets a game, but putting up big numbers with those targets. Without an increase in targets, it's hard to push him into the top group. In the few games I watched him, Pittsburgh seemed to be using him a little more on the shorter routes at the end of the year. If that continues and his owner still views him mostly as only a long ball threat, That high price might turn out to be a bargain.
