FOR THE RECORD (1 Viewer)

Here's a few I've thought about recently. Nothing too earth shattering....

- Hasselbeck finishes as the #2 fantasy QB next year, behind Brady and just ahead of Romo. Top 10 sleepers include Leinart, Redman and Schaub.

- Indy, Jacksonville and Houston all make the playoffs, with Jacksonville the division winner. Tennessee will be odd man out with a 7-9/8-8 record. NE, Cleveland and San Diego round out the rest of the playoff field as division winners

- Smith wins the QB job in S.F. during preseason, yet plays himself out of it by Week 8. Enter Hill as the new starter. At this point, Darrell Jackson once again becomes very relevant in fantasy.

- Minnesota takes the NFC North at 11-5. GB stays in the division race till the end and still gets in the playoffs with a 10-6 record.

- Steven Jackson blows away the competition in PPR leagues and finishes well ahead of everyone else. He's the consensus #1 pick in redraft leagues the following year.

- Scheffler and Donald Lee both finish top 5 for TE's.

 
- Hasselbeck finishes as the #2 fantasy QB next year, behind Brady and just ahead of Romo. Top 10 sleepers include Leinart, Redman and Schaub.
I'll take it one step further and say Matt Hasselbeck will finish as the #1 QB for FF purposes. :lmao:
 
Love the thread.

1. Plaxico Buress makes the Probowl

2. Vikings win the NFC North

3. The Lions will still suck.

4. The Redskins will be the 4th best team in the NFC East.

5. Eagles/Giants/Boys all make the playoffs, With the NFC East sending three teams to the playoffs for a third year in a row.

6. Cutler doesn't "get it" and continues to struggle.

7. Jacksonville wins the AFC South and David Garrard is a top 10 FF QB.

8. Arizon does NOT make the playoffs, Rams win the West (long shot!)

9. Aaron Rogers is a top 15 QB (if healthy).

10. MJD is a top 5 RB.

11. Reggie Bush doesn't crack 700 yards.

AFC

1. Lynch finishes with 1400+ and 10+ TDs and makes the probowl.

2. Fred Taylor,again, in going to out perform MJD and make everyone wonder why MJD is drafted so high.

3. Tennessee will have a top 8 pick in next years draft.

4. Patriots go back to being a beatable team, winning 10-11 games max.

5. Russell isnt the answer for Oakland.

NFC

1. Even though Peterson had a break out year, Minn will still continue to have no QB and no WRs, therefor still not being good enough to make a playoff run.

2. The Rams are the suprise team and take their Division

3. The Saints figure out how to use Bush in thier offense and go back to being the team to beat in the NFC South.

4. The Eagles will finish worse than they did this year.

5. MBlll wont make the probowl.

Giants 10-6

Seahawks 10-6

Super Bowl

Colts 31 vs Saints 24

MVP J.Addai

 
DeAngelo did take the job from Foster due to the fact that he is now the starter and Foster was cut.
:shrug: Foster was never beaten out by DeAngelo, no matter how you spin it. He was cut for salary cap reasons, not because Williams was the better RB. There is talk here that they may even draft an RB because they don't think DA is an every down back.
 
Reggie Bush rushes for 1,000 yards, ADP rushes for 2,000, and the Texans and Saints make the play-offs. Minny will not as long as T. Jackson is the starter in '08.
If ADP runs for 2K they are going to make the playoffs. If runs for 2K they could make the playoffs with me behind Center...
 
KC goes 3-13, and is the worst team in the league

Matt Leinart regains starting job and throws for 3K Yards

Ryan Grant falls back to earth somewhat, and Brandon Jackson gets at least 150 carries as Grant slumps and is injured.

The Seahawks win the NFC West @ 7-9 -- not a typo lol

Rudi Johnson rebounds back to run for 1300 yards and at least TDs

Playoff teams

AFC

Pats

Browns

Colts

Chargers

Jags

Bills

NFC

Cowboys

Vikings

Saints

Seahawks

Giants

Packers

Super Bow

Colts over Cowboys
Kudos!
 
1. Joseph Addai will never get 325 carries in a season. He is best when splitting time and will continue to have a similar role for the rest of his career. 2. MJD will be top 5 fantasy back for multiple years. As Fred ages, MJD will become the featured runner there, getting the majority of the carries, at least 50 catches, and all the goal line work. It may not be in 2008, but his future looks very bright. I currently have MJD ranked as my #3 dynasty RB. 3. Marion Barber will become the feature back for the Cowboys. They won't bring in anyone to seriously compete with him for carries, and he will be a #1 fantasy back next year.4. The Philadelphia Eagles will win their division next year (this one could be a homer call).
All of Jedimaster21's predictions will be wrong ;)
How did I know this was coming, rather than your own predictions...wait, let me help you...here are some of your greatest hits from the past...1. Foster will be a top back in the NFL.2. Lynch will be a better player than Peterson.3. Addai will get at least 360 carries and 2000 total yards in 2007.4. DeAngelo won't take the starting job from Foster. ;) Keep them coming, Switz...
Yeah, Switz is very far removed from predicting that Bolden would be a stud. Good predictions are few and far between for Switz these days....My Predictions - One of which agrees with Switz :) 1) Tom Brady will not be the #1 Fantasy QB in 20082) The Rams make the playoffs3) Reggie Bush will prove for a 3rd year that he should not be a RB (WR, yes, RB no)4) MJD = Top 55) A WR in San Fran will finish in the top 106) Atlanta will finish .500 or better7) 2008 is SJax' last year in St. Louis and the Rams will kick themselves for not moving him and taking Run DMC
 
Good predictions are few and far between for Switz these days....
:lmao: You mean like this one?
MJD gets most of the goal line touches which leads me to believe that his TD's, while inflated last year, aren't going to drop a ton. I don't see a 50% drop like many are guessing. 25% would be a closer mark, but that's still double digit TD's.

And finally, MJD is the future of the Jags running game. Do you really think the Jags are going keep him a part timer all year? I think as the season rolls on MJD will garner a higher percentage of the touches making him money during the playoff stretch for his fantasy owners....
Hmmm... 9TDs (rush/rec)WEEK: Taylor/MJD

Week 8: 24/12

Week 9: 14/7

Week10: 17/22

Week11: 20/13

Week12: 16/12

Week13: 14/12

Week14: 20/13

Week15: 25/17

Week16: 7/16 (Taylor was rested I believe)

He only had two games where he had "a higher percentage of the touches."

BTW, Week 1 of the playoffs, MJD put up 4 points, 6 in PPR. People who started him probably lost that week. He got 9 in the second playoff game, decent, not great, definitely not money. He had a great game week 16, but overall he was NOT "money during the playoff stretch."

I guess my prediction that he would regress and that Taylor would keep the #1 RB position was way off, eh?

Hmmm, one prediction by me. Wow, really nailed me. Unlike the 6 or so you got nailed on earlier. BTW, I pretty much missed that one and adjusted accordingly. I traded for Fred Taylor mid season and started him through the playoffs and won the SB. I'll take being wrong and winning the SB all day long

I didn't realize that the team was going to be all motivated to get Taylor to the pro bowl since he had never made it in his career. I don't think anyone saw that coming.

Oh, and I predicted double digit TD's. He had 9. Split hairs much? I missed his TD total by 1.

 
Oh, and here's another one by Switz. Notice the Date

Awesome analysis, which I agree with 100%. All these points were also part of my reasoning when I passed on SJAX in my initial dynasty draft. Alot thought he should be in contention for the 4-6 picks. Not me. And I think this year will bear it out.
SJAX's numbers in 2006?1528 rushing yards

806 receiving

16 TD's

3rd overall in non-PPR

 
Reggie Bush rushes for 1,000 yards, ADP rushes for 2,000, and the Texans and Saints make the play-offs. Minny will not as long as T. Jackson is the starter in '08.
If ADP runs for 2K they are going to make the playoffs. If runs for 2K they could make the playoffs with me behind Center...
C. Taylor and ADP ran for roughly 2200 yards (1350 by ADP). ADP won't be nearly sharing as much PT with Taylor and I'm assuming he plays 16 games. 1,700 yards is a not a prediction; it is a lock - 2,000 yds is a prediction. By the way, in 1973 when OJ ran for over 2,000 yds the Bills finished second in the their conference (9-5 record). It happens. Unless T. Jackson improves dramatically I don't see him taking the Vikings to the play-offs. I may be wrong but it is not a given.
 
And we go way back on this one. All the way back to 2003:

The notion that Henry is not talented enough to be a top-10 back is certainly done. Despite his injuries and missing the better part of two games, he sacked up and delivered to his owners the type of numbers that justify where he was drafted. Many players deliver the per game stats but injury keeps them from justifying the draft position. Not the case with Henry. He missed a couple games and has worked to make up the lost ground.
I agree 100%. The only thing I fear with Henry is that his runnign style will catch up with him and he'll have a shorter carreer. I think he might end up being something like Eddie George, who he was compared to coming out of college.
Henry was never top 10 after the 2003 season

Hmmm... I would think my prediction was perfectly accurate. He has the talent, which I agreed with. He has had health/injury problems keeping him from being a top-10 back, as I said.
 
I didn't realize that the team was going to be all motivated to get Taylor to the pro bowl since he had never made it in his career. I don't think anyone saw that coming.
OMG you don't really believe that, do you? Yeah, that's why he had a 5.4 YPC - the team blocked better for him :popcorn:Come on Fanatic, you're better than this....
 
DeAngelo did take the job from Foster due to the fact that he is now the starter and Foster was cut.
:goodposting: Foster was never beaten out by DeAngelo, no matter how you spin it. He was cut for salary cap reasons, not because Williams was the better RB. There is talk here that they may even draft an RB because they don't think DA is an every down back.
No, actually he was cut for several reasons:1. He sucks2. He made too much money for sucking3. They had a much better player that was drafted higher playing behind himSwitz, it's just time to let it go. Foster is bad. If Foster was the starter, and he was cut and will not be the starter, while DWill will be the starter...please explain how he didn't take the job.
 
Hmmm, one prediction by me. Wow, really nailed me. Unlike the 6 or so you got nailed on earlier.
Actually, the statements that Jedimaster21 made were not actual predictions by me.
Please stop avoiding the fact that you predicted all of those situations would occur. They may not have been "exactly" how you posted them, but those were clearly your opinions on the players/situations mentioned. OK, now let's get back to some new predictions...

I really don't mean to pile on, and this is getting off topic, but...Steven Jackson is a top 3 dynasty RB. A player with that status is pure gold. Admit it, and move on.

Seriously...1. Foster will be a top back in the NFL.- Had the talent coming into the league, but was injured. Still, I never projected him to be a top back, just a starter.2. Lynch will be a better player than Peterson.- No, a more complete RB. Which he is, and others agree with. Peterson is a better runner, Lynch is a better blocker and receiver. 3. Addai will get at least 360 carries and 2000 total yards in 2008.- Said Addai was talented, and a top fantasy RB, which he is...4. DeAngelo won't take the starting job from Foster.- Didn't. Said DA couldn't beat out Foster for the job, and he never did. If it was a matter of DA being the better starter, they would have made him the starter.As for Foster, I'm not the one who brought him up in this thread... I'm not sure why you think I have a thing with him...
 
If Foster was the starter, and he was cut and will not be the starter, while DWill will be the starter...please explain how he didn't take the job.
Simple.As long as Foster was there DA was not able to beat him out to be the starter. If it were a matter of who was going to be the starter, then they could have just promoted DA and benched Foster - at any time the past few seasons. They didn't. They cut Foster, not because he wasn't better than DA, but because he was too expensive. And they even wanted to resign him.DA never beat out Foster for the job. I don't see how that's so hard to grasp.

I am not going to bump your myriad of threads stating your predictions on those players situations, because I don't want to perpetuate this back and forth. We both know what you predicted (along with many others that have read your posts).
 
We both know what you predicted (along with many others that have read your posts).
Agreed... and we both know that you twisted those predictions to poke fun of me in this thread. Exaggerated them if you wish...Did I like Foster? Yep. Was he as good as I expected? No. But I attribute that to injury more than anything. As he still showed flashes of tremendous talent even afterward.Do I like Addai, yep... and he's good, very good.I don't even remember what I initially said re: Lynch/Peterson which you called out as a projection.

I really didn't set out to poke fun at you, but I felt I needed to respond to your original joke about my predictions. All in good fun. However, I didn't twist anything, and I don't appreciate you saying that I did. I think the irritation I have is not that you have different opinions, but you seem to change them after the fact and then deny that you ever felt the way you did. I also think we are ruining the thread with this nonsense, so we should both move on. I'll let you get the last word after this post...
 
For those pegging the Pats to fall off a cliff, they have one of the easiest schedules if not the easiest schedules in the league (at least on paper):

MIA, MIA, BUF, BUF, NYJ, NYJ, DEN, OAK, KC, SD, ARZ, SF, STL, SEA, PIT, and IND

18 -1 I didnt think u were a pats fan dave?
My point was, playing 6 games in the AFC East, 4 games in the AFC West, and 4 games in the NFC West should make for an easy schedule. The Pats may not be as good in 08 as in 07, but some folks have them with 6 or 8 wins.
 
D. Anderson = one year wonder/flash in the pan. throws 15 ints by week 7

Chad Pennington leads NYJ to the playoffs as a wildcard.

Jets draft D. McFadden and he goes on to rush for 1300 yards and 12 tds.

Redskins still suck.

Brady gets hurt, misses 8+ games.

Buffalo wins the AFC East.

Chicago sucks even more than the Redskins.

D.Sproles rushes for 1200 yards filling in for the injured L.Tomlinson

Phil Rivers = top 5 QB

Ted Ginn, Jr catches 75 balls

Kellen Winslow, Jr has another surgery

Patriots finish 6-10

Fred Taylor rips off another 1300 yard season with 10+ tds..

Andre Johnson approaches 20TDs this season..

Denver's opening day starting RB will lose the job by week 3.

Alex Smith looks like a deer in the headlights in Mike Martz's 'system' and gets benched.

Dexter Manley gets arrested, again.

Favre un-retires in October, and plays with a team other than GB.

Emmitt Smith continues to struggle with the English language, continues to say teams got 'debacled' and uses the word 'boaf' a lot, as in 'we boaf in the hall of fame'. He quits ESPN to make a new dance reality show with Danny Terio.

Troy Aikman continues to be a Dallas homer while announcing Cowboys' games.
Jets fan?
 
- Hasselbeck finishes as the #2 fantasy QB next year, behind Brady and just ahead of Romo. Top 10 sleepers include Leinart, Redman and Schaub.
I'll take it one step further and say Matt Hasselbeck will finish as the #1 QB for FF purposes. :goodposting:
Who needs Randy Moss and Terrel Owens when you have Bobby Engram and Nate Burleson. Stop spiking your popcorn with hallucinogens.

Top tier of RBs at end of season:

ADP

Westbrook

Lynch

Maroney

Grant

Addai

2nd tier:

a boat load, biggest ever.

Injured for more than 4 games: Barber, RBrown (duh), Gore, LT2, SJax, Portis, JLewis...

The year of the b/u.

I'll look forward to the bump next year.

Edit: added Addai to top tier.

And finally, MJD is the future of the Jags running game. Do you really think the Jags are going keep him a part timer all year? I think as the season rolls on MJD will garner a higher percentage of the touches making him money during the playoff stretch for his fantasy owners....
Hmmm... 9TDs (rush/rec)WEEK: Taylor/MJD

Week 8: 24/12

Week 9: 14/7

Week10: 17/22

Week11: 20/13

Week12: 16/12

Week13: 14/12

He only had two games where he had "a higher percentage of the touches."

I really enjoyed this thread until you two prissies started pulling each other's pony tails.
 
DeAngelo Williams will be the primary ball carrier for the Panthers, and they will not bring in significant competition by drafting a RB early. He will also rush for over 1100 yards, score at least 8 Tds, and catch at least 40 balls.

 
Also, let's keep this thread rolling. I think the true entertainment value of this thread will involve dynasty predictions about players. I think we can all have opinions on temporary situations, but when a person makes a poor judgement about a player in a dynasty format, that judgement can affect the team for years. It will also be entertaining when this thread gets bumped (which is inevitable and one of the reasons I started it), because we can hold people accountable for their predictions. Just like speculating on stocks, we all tend to remember the good calls and forget the poor ones. Get any predictions you feel confident about out there now...it is also a good way of finding flaws in your analysis/judgement when you are wrong about a player/situation.

David Carr will be the first person to throw a TD pass to two different guys named Steve Smith.

 
- Smith wins the QB job in S.F. during preseason, yet plays himself out of it by Week 8. Enter Hill as the new starter. At this point, Darrell Jackson once again becomes very relevant in fantasy.
Yeah I'm not even gonna try this again. Only been two weeks and already I feel like :thumbup:
 
1. MJD will be proven overrated

2. Gore will be proven overrated

3. Felix Jone will be a stud

I'm on record.

 
I'd like to see KJ go to the Titans. Plenty of carries available and he'd give Young someone to throw to. I think he'd excel if he could land in a Bush/MJD type of situation.
