I have a lot of questions, maybe you can answer some of them. (1 Viewer)

[Ministry of Pain]

Greetings everyone,

Question #1- Is Brady still a safe bet for top 5? I don't see any reason to rush to grab him in redrafts. Efficient he will be but it seems New England might be suited to run the ball as much as they like. I wouldn't avoid Brady but I can think of a handful of other QBs in the 6-12 range I would be just as happy with going into the season.

Question #2- Will Tannehill impede the Miami offense from getting better in 2013? I have not liked much from the reports out of camp. he can't hit the long ball to save his life and that was largely a problem last year as he missed several wide open long balls. The Miami offense is looking sluggish despite a 27-3 beating of Jax, Tannehill punted the ball 3 out of 4 possessions. I worry that Miller although talented might face 7 in the box a lot if Tannehill cannot challenge defenses.

Question #3- Is Chris Johnson still the #13 RB off the board?

Question #4a/b- Where does EJ Manuel rank on your top 30 QB list in redrafts for 2013? What does that mean for CJ Spiller?

Question #5- Which offense will be the worst in the AFC East...Miami/NY Jets/Buffalo?

Question #6- How good will the Cincinnati Bengals be this year? They have the development of the WR2/3/4 slots, terrific TE to pair with Gresham, Bernard added to help spice up the back field, this team has a solid OL, they should be ready roll and their defense is solid as well. Anything less than 10-6 is going to be a major disappointment. I think this is a Super bowl dark horse right here, lot of pressure on Dalton.

Question #7- Pittsburgh/Baltimore will both be scratching for a wildcard playoff spot at best?

Question #8- Am I the only person who thinks Andrew Luck is going to distance himself from every other QB drafted in the last 3-4 seasons? No one is going to be able to stop him.

Question #9- Who wins more games, Kansas City or San Diego?

Question #10- Despite all the off season hangovers, injuries, lost paper work, suspensions, all nighters, despite all that the Denver Broncos are still the AFC favorite to walk to the Super Bowl, yes/no?

Question #11- With the loss of Pitta and Hernandez, Brandon Myers becomes a shoe in for top 10 with Eli throwing him the ball?

Question #12- How many times will Jerry Jones field questions about Jason Garret's job this season?

Question #13- Is Aaron Rodgers really the #1 QB off the board? He has rookie RBs, Jennings is gone, Nelson cannot stay healthy, he lost his starting LT, things are not looking good right now for the Packers IMO. They could be an early season disaster with games against @SF, WAS(RG III), @Cin, the a bye and home for DET, and @Bal so the schedule not exactly kind early for the Pack.

Question #14- Why is the NFL making it easier to stay away from the stadiums by making us carry see thru plastic? What's next, we wear a see thru plastic poncho with underwear on so they can see if we are carrying a concealed weapon under our shirts? If it's that dangerous than we just don't need to go.

Question #15- Which rookie WR has more catches this year, Hopkins or Patterson?

Question #16- Which WR emerges as the WR2 in San Fran in 2013?

Question #17- Where do you value Golden Tate with Percy Harvin out?

Question #18- Which NFL teams will produce the worst starting 5 RBs in 2013?

Question #19- Chris Givens in St, Louis, sleeper?

Question #20- What question or questions are making you pause? Post them up and I'll be happy to answer them.

 

[Kenny Powers]

About half of those are useless...I'll respond to a response I disagree with.

 

[Drezden]

# 5 Jets

#15 Hopkins

 

[loose circuits]

Chris Givens is definitely a sleeper in some sense if that means a guy that people need to respect more...he's got Mike Wallace type skills

 

[Saint]

Love em... Here's my 2 cents:

Question #1- Brady elevates those around him. While the Philly Defense played horribly the other night, Brady made some throws into very small windows that were spot on. He's dropped to QB 8-10 range recently and I think he is a steal at the value. Personally, not surprised if he ends up at QB4 or QB5.

Question #2- Tannehill did not play well during the HOF game. He looks rusty, but his passes improved as time went on. I see Miami taking a step forward, although I would argue that Wallace is not the guy to target for Miami. I believe Hartline ends up with more points in PPR and can be had for late ADP value.

Question #3- CJ2K in PPR, yes, still early to mid 2nd round. Tennessee did some nice upgrades on their Oline with recent signings. I trust him more than several of the other RBs coming back from lisfranc injuries (yes looking at you MJD). In addition, Britt has looked explosively and if Locker has a passing game, CJ2K should be solid for RB 13.

Question #4a/b- Worried about the workload for Spiller, especially if EJ starts out roughly. Personally, I am targeting Fred Jackson as he can be had late and should be a solid RB4/5 if Spiller struggles.

Question #5- Jets.

Question #6- Solid team in a tough division. I don't trust Dalton. Personally, I think the sleeper in this division is Cleveland. Without the injuries from last year, Cleveland could be a solid contender for division title this year.

Question #7- Agreed. I could see them both missing.

Question #8- I like Luck, but not sure if he will distance himself right away. As a #1 draft pick, there is high expectations expected. They need to fix the running game for Luck to elevate to the next level. In addition, how much longer will Wayne be there to help, and is DHB the solution?

Question #9- KC. Loving Alex Smith this year. The Reid system makes QBs and Smith is probably the most accurate passer Reid has ever had.

Question #10- Yes. Denver is solid.

Question #11- Not sure if I would say top 10 here. I think there are a bunch of guys in the middle for TE and it's anyone's race.

Question #12- Who knows? If they start out poorly, every week.

Question #13- Rodgers is solid, but I disagree with him as QB1. I think the loss of Bulaga hurts, as well as the continued issue at the running game. I see Manning as QB1 this year with Brees right on his heels. I think Rodgers is still top 5.

Question #14- Ticket prices continue to rise. Easier to watch from home. Better viewing angles and more games.

Question #15- Patterson. They are going to feed him the ball. He's a playmaker and ADP can't do it all. I like Patterson/Rudolph from the passing situation. Biggest concern is Ponder.

Question #16- Good question. They expect Jenkins to step up, but he's really not showing it.

Question #17- I like Tate, but I think he is still a late rounder. Rice should have value, and I am not sold on Tate with Baldwin nipping at his heels.

Question #18- Jets, Jags, Arizona, GB, Indianapolis

Question #19- Not anymore. Givens is a playmaker last year and this year. Should be on everyone's board, regardless of the Tavon Austin pick.

 

[sjdogs]

I still like Brady top 5

I am concerned re hype and Tannehill for prospects of LM

CJ moves to 10 for me. Really struggling with taking him or WR 1 in round two with my first pick at 11 spot in 10 team

Yes on Luck

Question. Will we see your bucket tier threads this year?

Best

Greetings everyone,

Question #1- Is Brady still a safe bet for top 5? I don't see any reason to rush to grab him in redrafts. Efficient he will be but it seems New England might be suited to run the ball as much as they like. I wouldn't avoid Brady but I can think of a handful of other QBs in the 6-12 range I would be just as happy with going into the season.

Brady is a safe pick, but not a top 5. He has upside as a top 5 and should do no worse than 10. If I can nab him after round 6, I'll do it. If not, he won't be on my teams this season.

Question #2- Will Tannehill impede the Miami offense from getting better in 2013? I have not liked much from the reports out of camp. he can't hit the long ball to save his life and that was largely a problem last year as he missed several wide open long balls. The Miami offense is looking sluggish despite a 27-3 beating of Jax, Tannehill punted the ball 3 out of 4 possessions. I worry that Miller although talented might face 7 in the box a lot if Tannehill cannot challenge defenses.

Avoiding all Dolphins really.

Question #3- Is Chris Johnson still the #13 RB off the board?

There's a guy in everyone's draft who will now take Chris Johnson in round 1. After his preseason run the other night, his ADP will be round 1 from here on.

Question #4a/b- Where does EJ Manuel rank on your top 30 QB list in redrafts for 2013? What does that mean for CJ Spiller?

Question #5- Which offense will be the worst in the AFC East...Miami/NY Jets/Buffalo?

Question #6- How good will the Cincinnati Bengals be this year? They have the development of the WR2/3/4 slots, terrific TE to pair with Gresham, Bernard added to help spice up the back field, this team has a solid OL, they should be ready roll and their defense is solid as well. Anything less than 10-6 is going to be a major disappointment. I think this is a Super bowl dark horse right here, lot of pressure on Dalton.

I like CIN a lot for the long run. You can track my post history to find my love of Andy Dalton. I love Eifert AND Gresham. All that being said, I'm expecting a plateau year for the 2013 Bengals. Some key new pieces on offense and Dalton still working out his own kinks. I can see more yards for Dalton this year (he had about 3600 last year) but less than his previous 27 TDs. Again, long term, I love the Bengals and in dynasty, folks should be loading up now for a 5+ year run (if Dalton turns out how I expect, make that 10 years)

Question #7- Pittsburgh/Baltimore will both be scratching for a wildcard playoff spot at best?

Pittsburgh will surpise folks this year and win their division. Baltimore has no chance, imo. Too many departures. I mean, who the hell is Flacco throwing the ball to? And Flacco ain't even that good to begin with. The only Ravens I would consider in fantasy are Torrey Smith and Bernard Pierce - both have great value.

Question #8- Am I the only person who thinks Andrew Luck is going to distance himself from every other QB drafted in the last 3-4 seasons? No one is going to be able to stop him.

I'm not sure. I love Luck long term, own him in a 16 team dynasty. Last year was worse than I expected but I do expect a better future with this different offense. I hope you are right but as a Luck owner, I'm tempering expectations after a somewhat disappointing rookie season. I know I'm in the minority in thinking last year he "disappointed".

Question #9- Who wins more games, Kansas City or San Diego?

Kansas City

Question #10- Despite all the off season hangovers, injuries, lost paper work, suspensions, all nighters, despite all that the Denver Broncos are still the AFC favorite to walk to the Super Bowl, yes/no?

Yes for me. Broncos/Falcons is what seems most likely although we all know the reality will be vastly different come January.

Question #11- With the loss of Pitta and Hernandez, Brandon Myers becomes a shoe in for top 10 with Eli throwing him the ball?

I don't think so. I think Manning only makes TE relevant when he needs to. With Rueben Randle seemingly emerging as a real threat, even if Nicks or Cruz gets banged up, Eli will still have 2 targets higher in priority than Myers. Add Wilson as a 3rd (in no particular order)... I think Myers is bye week filler at best. I can't see myself drafting him.

Question #12- How many times will Jerry Jones field questions about Jason Garret's job this season?

Question #13- Is Aaron Rodgers really the #1 QB off the board? He has rookie RBs, Jennings is gone, Nelson cannot stay healthy, he lost his starting LT, things are not looking good right now for the Packers IMO. They could be an early season disaster with games against @SF, WAS(RG III), @Cin, the a bye and home for DET, and @Bal so the schedule not exactly kind early for the Pack.

I'm never an owner to take the 1st QB. I might take the 4th or 5th QB off the board at best.

Question #14- Why is the NFL making it easier to stay away from the stadiums by making us carry see thru plastic? What's next, we wear a see thru plastic poncho with underwear on so they can see if we are carrying a concealed weapon under our shirts? If it's that dangerous than we just don't need to go.

Agreed. The geniuses behind the scenes must know that more fans are staying home. I don't know how games can come close to selling out. I live about 7 miles from Soldier and I'd much rather stay home to watch the games.

Question #15- Which rookie WR has more catches this year, Hopkins or Patterson?

Hopkins without a doubt.

Question #16- Which WR emerges as the WR2 in San Fran in 2013?

It better be Jenkins or I'm dropping him from my dynasty. Seriously, I don't even care. It seems like it should be the Vernon Davis and LaMichael James show if they want to get playmakers involved. Do they even have any other playmaker who are healthy? I'm avoiding all 49ers in redraft at the moment.

Question #17- Where do you value Golden Tate with Percy Harvin out?

Never felt it with this guy and still don't. Avoiding in all formats.

Question #18- Which NFL teams will produce the worst starting 5 RBs in 2013?

Packers

Panthers

Cowboys

Jaguars

Dolphins

Question #19- Chris Givens in St, Louis, sleeper?

Question #20- What question or questions are making you pause? Post them up and I'll be happy to answer them.

 

[Stealthycat]

Question #1- No - because they have a power running game. 6-10 is where Brady is

Question #2- Expect the same from Tannehill - I think Wallace is a big bust at his current ADP

Question #3- Yes CJ2K is a top 10 RB at least in 2013

Question #4a/b- EJ Manuel I'm not sure about to be honest.

Question #5- Jets are a horrible team right now all around

Question #6- Bengals will be very good unless they get injuries - Dalton maybe even moves into top 10 type stuff

Question #7- Pittsburgh will not break .500 .... Baltimore is in the playoffs

Question #8- The offense itsself might stop Luck - but Luck is one of the best QB's I've ever watched play

Question #9- Kansas City wins more games than San Diego?

Question #10- there is no walking to the Super Bowl - Denver was one of the top 3 teams last year and played a bad game - sent home.

Question #11- Brandon Myers was already a top 10 with Eli throwing him the ball

Question #12- Jerry Jones is getting senile I'm afraid

Question #13- Aaron Rodgers is not - Stafford is

Question #14- I don't know

Question #15- Patterson

Question #16- Vernon Davis - and the RB's .... the 2nd WR option in SF isn't going to ammount to anything

Question #17- Where do you value Golden Tate with Percy Harvin out? not much

Question #18- Which NFL teams will produce the worst starting 5 RBs in 2013? oh wow ...... ARI / OAK / JETS / GBP / STL

Question #19- Chris Givens in St, Louis, sleeper? absolutely

Question #20- What question or questions are making you pause?

QUESTION - who is going to win ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

 

[Ministry of Pain]

QUESTION - who is going to win ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

Patterson if he out produces Hopkins, not a given.

 

[Phantom Knight]

#1 I think Brady has a floor of 6 to 8 with upside to #3.

#2 Not as high on Tannehill as many seem to be this year. Reserving judgement for the future. However, I do think the Miami offense will be a good bit improved this year - especially starting 5-6 games into the season. Even so I am not high on Miller.

#3 I'm going to drink the koolaid again. CJ is a top-5 back this year. (gulp)

#4 Hmmmm. Because of Spiller. Because I have a good feeling about their youngs wrs, I think EJ surprises at least a little. Even so, I don't see him rising higher than 25-20. I think Spiller will be fine though I have his floor lower than many seem to. I think he has a floor of 5-10 with upside to 4 or 3.

#5 There are surprises every year. But everything points to Jets winning this dubious distinction. Very possibly worst in NFL.

#6 Bengals I concur with your assessment of the Bengals. Playoff team with dark horse potential though I don't think they make it to the big game.

#7 Don't have a good feel for this one. Both, Baltimore especially, have taken hits on the offensive side of the ball. That said... IF their defenses (also in transition?) play up to their "normal" standards (I am betting on at least one of them) both have qbs able to make the plays necessary to win close games - the type of games that get a team into the playoffs. But it's going to be ugly. I think Cleveland is going to win a few games in the division this year adding to the "parity" in the division.

As mentioned, I just don't have a good feel here. Out of Cin, Pit and Bal at most 2 come out. There is a possibility that only one comes out. And though I pegged Cincinnati as a playoff team above, it won't necessarily be them.

#8 I live in a remote part of the Dominican Republic and sadly am unable to watch more than a few games a year. I have never seen Luck play. So I don't feel qualified to take a stab at this one. I do think the changing of the guard (top echelon) at qb has begun starting with Cam and certainly Luck will be one of the top 4 of the young guns. I am not comfortable saying more than that.

#9 Kansas City

#10 Cake walk? Perhaps into the playoffs. But to the big game? Not an easy stroll. But should they not suffer serious injury, then I do think they clearly the early AFC favorite. But a number of teams could rise to challenge them - to me notably Houston if their defense gels or (yes) New England (I have a gut feeling their offense is going to surprise folks with them finally getting some wr picks correct).

#11 As long as he stays healthy himself.

#12 Who cares?

#13 He has to be the first off the board. Though the line has narrowed to next to nothing. However I am willing to bet that he will not end the year as the #1 qb. That's just the nature of the beast we know as the draft.

#14 Pass

#15 Hopkins

#16 I think Vernon Davis will end up as the #2 pass catcher in SF. Yep there I go drinking the koolaid again (gulp). I think that assuming he comes back healthy, the seemingly forgotten Manningham will end up being the #2 wr on the team - not just for the games he plays but for the entire season assuming he plays at least 12 games.

#17 Probably a bit more optimistic than many... Solid WR3

#18 I give you 7 that I really do not want to have to rely on for a starter for my team. Cardinals, Jets, Rams, Dolphins, Chargers. Panthers, Packers.

#19 Not sure sleeper is the word I would use. Breakout candidate, certainly. It can be hard to look past the annual rookie hype, but Givens just seems to have what it takes and having more talent around him should keep him from being doubled as he might have been had the personnel not changed from last year.

#20 Baltimore/Pittsburgh was the question that I had the hardest time with.

Edit to add Packers to #18

 

[msudaisy26]

Brady will be top 5 once again, all the Patriot haters want to point to the first preseason game and say look at the ground and pound team. It is PRESEASON and when have the Patriots not been tight lipped about everything.

He will get better but still be very inconsistent. Next year is the year for the Dolphins offense to shine.

He should be higher than the 13th running back off the board in my eyes.

For redraft he is nothing more than a late round flier. 25th or later. No affect on Spiller, he is still top 10.

Jets by far

The Bengals win the North and win a playoff game in the wildcard round. They lose to Denver or New England in the second round.

Both are fighting for a playoff spot at around 9 and 7. One team gets in and one team doesn't, which team is anyone's guess.

I doubt it, the other guys are too good for him to run away from. Did Peyton run away from Brady, or Brees?

Kansas City

Yes, but not overwhelming. The AFC is wide open this year.

No, Shockey had more talent and was just average with Eli.

9.5

Yes, because he is every bit of the pocket passer that Brady, Manning and Brees is, but he gets a lot more rush yards and scores.

It is part of the wussification of America.

Hopkins, I just have a hunch that Andre Johnson or Owen Daniels get hurt this year.

Boldin, even though Davis is a tight end he will be the number 1 receiver for the team.

A WR3 with WR2 upside.

Jets, Broncos, Panthers, Rams, and Cardinals.

Yes, I could see him as a top 25 wr this year.

Which running back comes closest to living up to the hype? Rank in order

David Wilson as a top 10

Lamar Miller as a top 10

Leveon Bell as a top

Eddie Lacy as a top 20

Chris Ivory as a top 20

I wouldn't avoid Brady but I can think of a handful of other QBs in the 6-12 range I would be just as happy with going into the season.

decent bet for top 5 but with so many viable qbs he seems a bit overrated still until he drops to the 7th round or so.

Question #2- Will Tannehill impede the Miami offense from getting better in 2013? I have not liked much from the reports out of camp. he can't hit the long ball to save his life and that was largely a problem last year as he missed several wide open long balls.

That was the equilvelent of the answer Adam Sandler gave at the end of Billy Madison!!!

 

[Lord Fantasy]

Great questions. Great discussion.

This thread is a great reminder of how we all start to settle into our stories this time of year. Brady doesn't have the weapons. Brady doesn't need the weapons; he makes his receivers not the other way around. And so on and so on.

I don't have a great take on any of your questions, but I do have a couple of my own:

Which team are we most grossly underestimating?

Which high-profile team's terrible preseason will we make the most excuses for (and live to regret it)?

Which low-status team's awesome preseason will we shrug off (and live to regret it)?

Finally, another vote for your weekly RB roundups. I always felt like I learned a lot from those.

Cheers

 

[Captain Hook]

Here are a couple of mine

1) WHY hasn't Baltimore put Dennis Pitta on IR yet?

Yeah I know they don't have to but they know they are going to so is there a contractual or procedural wrinkle we don't know about

(I am sure other owners have my problem - I can't move him to an IR slot until he is officially on the IR)

2) WHERE is Mike Goodson? and is there any chance he is returning to the Jets OR the NFL this season?

I know of the legal trouble but as far as I know he hasn't reported to Jets camp (or is that even possible - haven't seen anything on his status with the team)

Greetings everyone, Hello MOP

Question #1- Is Brady still a safe bet for top 5? I don't see any reason to rush to grab him in redrafts. Efficient he will be but it seems New England might be suited to run the ball as much as they like. I wouldn't avoid Brady but I can think of a handful of other QBs in the 6-12 range I would be just as happy with going into the season. Yes because of the upside AND the stability - even if they can run as much as some think (and I disagree) they won't - BB still large and in charge

Question #2- Will Tannehill impede the Miami offense from getting better in 2013? I have not liked much from the reports out of camp. he can't hit the long ball to save his life and that was largely a problem last year as he missed several wide open long balls. The Miami offense is looking sluggish despite a 27-3 beating of Jax, Tannehill punted the ball 3 out of 4 possessions. I worry that Miller although talented might face 7 in the box a lot if Tannehill cannot challenge defenses. NO - he will be okay .. not great but he can throw

Question #3- Is Chris Johnson still the #13 RB off the board? Not any more - will be drafted in the first round going forward as others have said

Question #5- Which offense will be the worst in the AFC East...Miami/NY Jets/Buffalo? agree with the d) Who Cares answer

Question #6- How good will the Cincinnati Bengals be this year? They have the development of the WR2/3/4 slots, terrific TE to pair with Gresham, Bernard added to help spice up the back field, this team has a solid OL, they should be ready roll and their defense is solid as well. Anything less than 10-6 is going to be a major disappointment. I think this is a Super bowl dark horse right here, lot of pressure on Dalton. NOT as good as you think

Question #7- Pittsburgh/Baltimore will both be scratching for a wildcard playoff spot? Like many teams, yes

Question #8- Am I the only person who thinks Andrew Luck is going to distance himself from every other QB drafted in the last 3-4 seasons? No one is going to be able to stop him. NO

Question #9- Who wins more games, Kansas City or San Diego? Again Who Cares (but I would take KC)

Question #10- Despite all the off season hangovers, injuries, lost paper work, suspensions, all nighters, despite all that the Denver Broncos are still the AFC favorite to walk to the Super Bowl, yes/no?

YES

Question #11- With the loss of Pitta and Hernandez, Brandon Myers becomes a shoe in for top 10 with Eli throwing him the ball? Already was and still gets no love

Question #13- Is Aaron Rodgers really the #1 QB off the board? Brees or Rodgers but they are going later and later

Question #15- Which rookie WR has more catches this year, Hopkins or Patterson? No idea

Question #16- Which WR emerges as the WR2 in San Fran in 2013? Excellent question - only CK might know

Question #17- Where do you value Golden Tate with Percy Harvin out? WR3

Question #19- Chris Givens in St, Louis, sleeper? Has been in drafts so far

Question #20- What question or questions are making you pause? Where is your $25?.

Greetings everyone,

Question #1- Is Brady still a safe bet for top 5? I don't see any reason to rush to grab him in redrafts. Efficient he will be but it seems New England might be suited to run the ball as much as they like. I wouldn't avoid Brady but I can think of a handful of other QBs in the 6-12 range I would be just as happy with going into the season. I rank Brady in the 5-8 range, and will target him in rounds 5-7, but do not think he will last that long in my league.

Question #2- Will Tannehill impede the Miami offense from getting better in 2013? I have not liked much from the reports out of camp. he can't hit the long ball to save his life and that was largely a problem last year as he missed several wide open long balls. The Miami offense is looking sluggish despite a 27-3 beating of Jax, Tannehill punted the ball 3 out of 4 possessions. I worry that Miller although talented might face 7 in the box a lot if Tannehill cannot challenge defenses. Tannehill should be a serviceable QB2

Question #3- Is Chris Johnson still the #13 RB off the board?

Question #4a/b- Where does EJ Manuel rank on your top 30 QB list in redrafts for 2013? What does that mean for CJ Spiller? Definitely below #24, maybe not even in the top 30.

Question #5- Which offense will be the worst in the AFC East...Miami/NY Jets/Buffalo? Jets

Question #6- How good will the Cincinnati Bengals be this year? They have the development of the WR2/3/4 slots, terrific TE to pair with Gresham, Bernard added to help spice up the back field, this team has a solid OL, they should be ready roll and their defense is solid as well. Anything less than 10-6 is going to be a major disappointment. I think this is a Super bowl dark horse right here, lot of pressure on Dalton.

I think you are spot on.

Question #7- Pittsburgh/Baltimore will both be scratching for a wildcard playoff spot at best? Agree

Question #8- Am I the only person who thinks Andrew Luck is going to distance himself from every other QB drafted in the last 3-4 seasons? No one is going to be able to stop him. I'm not convinced he has the

Supporting cast to greatly impress people.

Question #9- Who wins more games, Kansas City or San Diego? Chargers +1

Question #10- Despite all the off season hangovers, injuries, lost paper work, suspensions, all nighters, despite all that the Denver Broncos are still the AFC favorite to walk to the Super Bowl, yes/no?

Walk into the playoffs? Yes They may have to expend a little more energy to get to the SB

Question #11- With the loss of Pitta and Hernandez, Brandon Myers becomes a shoe in for top 10 with Eli throwing him the ball?

Question #12- How many times will Jerry Jones field questions about Jason Garret's job this season?

Question #13- Is Aaron Rodgers really the #1 QB off the board? He has rookie RBs, Jennings is gone, Nelson cannot stay healthy, he lost his starting LT, things are not looking good right now for the Packers IMO. They could be an early season disaster with games against @SF, WAS(RG III), @Cin, the a bye and home for DET, and @Bal so the schedule not exactly kind early for the Pack.I think he will be, but I don't think he should be.

Question #14- Why is the NFL making it easier to stay away from the stadiums by making us carry see thru plastic? What's next, we wear a see thru plastic poncho with underwear on so they can see if we are carrying a concealed weapon under our shirts? If it's that dangerous than we just don't need to go. I have only been to one live NFL game, and no desire to go to another

Question #15- Which rookie WR has more catches this year, Hopkins or Patterson? Homer in me says Patterson

Question #16- Which WR emerges as the WR2 in San Fran in 2013?

Question #17- Where do you value Golden Tate with Percy Harvin out?

Question #18- Which NFL teams will produce the worst starting 5 RBs in 2013?

Question #19- Chris Givens in St, Louis, sleeper?

Question #20- What question or questions are making you pause? Post them up and I'll be happy to answer them.

 

[FUBAR]

Off the top of my head...

Greetings everyone,

Question #1- NO. Safe as a QB1, but Rodgers, Brees, Peyton are virtual locks. Ryan, Luck, Cam and RG3 could all finish ahead of Brady without any surprise.

Question #2- NO. Tannehill should be fine.

Question #3- NO, I'm taking CJ3 as a top 10 back.

Question #4a/b- Yes, but barely. Spiller should be fine as a top 10 if Manuel does anything.

Question #5- Jets, easily worse team unless Geno surprises.

Question #6- Bengals should be a favorite for playoffs, easily one of the top teams in the league. Especially if Gio does much.

Question #7- Yes, don't think either makes the playoffs.

Question #8- Luck if FF is probably just behind Cam (should be close).

Question #9- KC, easily (I think they sqeeze into the playoffs). SD is one of the bottom 10, fighting with Oakland for last in the AFC West.

Question #10- No, Bengals and Colts will make it close.

Question #11- Not a shoe-in, but a decent bet.

Question #12- Don't really care but I think Dallas wins the division.

Question #13- Rodgers might be the top pick but I'll take Brees over him.

Question #14- Security

Question #15- Hopkins.

Question #16- Only matters in DEEP leagues, probably Mario.

Question #17- WR3, maybe a weak 2

Question #18- Jets, Cards, Rams... injuries...

Question #19- yes, but won't wake up

 

[FUBAR]

Which team are we most grossly underestimating?

COLTS, Bears, Bucs

ETA: possibly Chiefs, but I've heard talk that they could go 10-6, so I'm not sure how most people view them.

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #1- Is Brady still a safe bet for top 5? I don't see any reason to rush to grab him in redrafts. Efficient he will be but it seems New England might be suited to run the ball as much as they like. I wouldn't avoid Brady but I can think of a handful of other QBs in the 6-12 range I would be just as happy with going into the season. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Manning missed an entire season and switched teams, coaches, teammates, and receivers (that were raw and green before him). He produced the second most fantasy points of his career. Brady has the same awesome (and healthy) OL, as well as BB and JM as coaches. The last two years he was in NE, JM produced 589 and 557 points as OC. People are WAY over thinking the NE offense and are worried for nothing. Brady will produce like he has the last few seasons, just not like he did in 2007. They ranked 2nd in the league in rushing attempts last year. They could run a ton and Brady will still get his.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #2- Will Tannehill impede the Miami offense from getting better in 2013? I have not liked much from the reports out of camp. he can't hit the long ball to save his life and that was largely a problem last year as he missed several wide open long balls. The Miami offense is looking sluggish despite a 27-3 beating of Jax, Tannehill punted the ball 3 out of 4 possessions. I worry that Miller although talented might face 7 in the box a lot if Tannehill cannot challenge defenses. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Preseason games and training camp mean absolutely nothing once the games count for real. The Lions went 4-0 and looked great one preseason and ended the year 0-16. I expected that Tannehill and the offense will click and he will approach fantasy QB1 numbers this year.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #3- Is Chris Johnson still the #13 RB off the board?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Not sure if you are asking if his draft stock is rising or if you are wondering where he will end the season ranked. Given that a few fantasy points at that tier can impact several spots in the rankings, I see him finishing the year in the RB8-14 range.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #4a/b- Where does EJ Manuel rank on your top 30 QB list in redrafts for 2013? What does that mean for CJ Spiller? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]I don't think Manuel will play enough or do well enough to be a fantasy factor this season. No matter what happens with the BUF QB situation, Spiller should be a Top 5 RB given an increase in workload this season with a shot at being Top 3.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #5- Which offense will be the worst in the AFC East...Miami/NY Jets/Buffalo?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]NYJ should be the worst offense. I don't see many playmakers on offense, but crazy things happen sometimes.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #6- How good will the Cincinnati Bengals be this year? They have the development of the WR2/3/4 slots, terrific TE to pair with Gresham, Bernard added to help spice up the back field, this team has a solid OL, they should be ready roll and their defense is solid as well. Anything less than 10-6 is going to be a major disappointment. I think this is a Super bowl dark horse right here, lot of pressure on Dalton. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]10-6 seems about right. But I don't seem them doing much in the playoffs.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #7- Pittsburgh/Baltimore will both be scratching for a wildcard playoff spot at best? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]One or the other should make a run at the division title. I doubt both teams struggle. Division leader may win on a tiebreaker.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #8- Am I the only person who thinks Andrew Luck is going to distance himself from every other QB drafted in the last 3-4 seasons? No one is going to be able to stop him. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]I guess it depends on his health, his teammates' health, the play calling, etc. Many QBs go through a sophomore slump. Based on the raw numbers, IND should have been a 7-9 team last year. Luck should be a force for years to come, but let's give him some more time to develop and prove himself before we place him in Canton.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #9- Who wins more games, Kansas City or San Diego? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]I see both winning 6 or 7 games.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #10- Despite all the off season hangovers, injuries, lost paper work, suspensions, all nighters, despite all that the Denver Broncos are still the AFC favorite to walk to the Super Bowl, yes/no? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Walk to the SB? No. They should be considered the favorite, but I don't see them substantially better than NE.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #11- With the loss of Pitta and Hernandez, Brandon Myers becomes a shoe in for top 10 with Eli throwing him the ball?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]No. OAK had problems fielding healthy and capable receivers last year, leaving Myers as the main target. I don't see him targeted as much this year and he will be further on the target list. I doubt he does as well as he did last season. However, there may be a bunch of guys grouped together in the lower part of the Top 10 to the mid teens. He could be in there, but I am not so sure he is a shoe in.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #12- How many times will Jerry Jones field questions about Jason Garret's job this season?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]As many as he normally answers when his team underperforms, looks mediocre, or looks like a .500 team.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #13- Is Aaron Rodgers really the #1 QB off the board? He has rookie RBs, Jennings is gone, Nelson cannot stay healthy, he lost his starting LT, things are not looking good right now for the Packers IMO. They could be an early season disaster with games against @SF, WAS(RG III), @Cin, the a bye and home for DET, and @Bal so the schedule not exactly kind early for the Pack.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Unless you think the running game will be huge or the defense will be fantastic, Rodgers will still produce big numbers. The OL probably bothers me more than the receivers. The only really tough game I see on your list is @SF, and he's had decent games against them in recent years.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #14- Why is the NFL making it easier to stay away from the stadiums by making us carry see thru plastic? What's next, we wear a see thru plastic poncho with underwear on so they can see if we are carrying a concealed weapon under our shirts? If it's that dangerous than we just don't need to go. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]I guess they are trying to see if folks are bringing in flammable or explosive liquids. Can't say I have any real idea on this one. Your see thru plastic for cheerleaders would be nice, though.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #15- Which rookie WR has more catches this year, Hopkins or Patterson? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]I would guess Hopkins, as I think Patterson is not in as good a situation. But I am not sure either leads rookie receivers in receptions.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #16- Which WR emerges as the WR2 in San Fran in 2013? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Collie could end up as the #1 receiver if he is healthy (which is usually for about a week and a half).[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #17- Where do you value Golden Tate with Percy Harvin out?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]About how he did last year when there was no Harvin.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #18- Which NFL teams will produce the worst starting 5 RBs in 2013? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Not sure what the question means. If teams like the Rams go RBBC, none of them will have great fantasy numbers but the team as a whole could still have ok rushing totals.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Question #19- Chris Givens in St, Louis, sleeper? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]Anyone on the Rams could be a sleeper as they have a lot of guys that could emerge. If I had to pick one, it would be Cook.[/SIZE]

 

[Anarchy99]

Here are a couple of mine

1) WHY hasn't Baltimore put Dennis Pitta on IR yet?

Yeah I know they don't have to but they know they are going to so is there a contractual or procedural wrinkle we don't know about

(I am sure other owners have my problem - I can't move him to an IR slot until he is officially on the IR)

I'm not sure, but I think players placed on IR in the preseason have to clear waivers first, which usually is a formality. However, it doesn't always happen, as I believe the Pats swiped Jake Ballard out from under the Giants that way.

 

[netnalp]

Question #11- With the loss of Pitta and Hernandez, Brandon Myers becomes a shoe in for top 10 with Eli throwing him the ball?

Myers, I expect will be in the 55-65 catch range. his ceiling, I don't think he'll surpass 70 catches. With Randle coming on and the Giants looking to re-introduce the RB screen to their offense, there won't be much opportunity for him to get into the 80 catch area.

Plus Adrian Robinson is coming along and might be the preferred TE in the Redzone.

Thanks David - that would make sense of the Pitta/Maclins not being offically placed on IR - just wasn't aware of that

I think it has to do with roster limits. Teams can put players on IR and be fully protected when rosters are cut down later in camp. But they have to keep them on the 90-man training camp roster until then. If not, those players have to clear waivers to get on IR and you run the risk of another team claiming the player.

I just got an answer from a writer with great NFL knowledge

"No, it's more about waiting to see if Pitta can make it back by the end of the season. There is one IR spot designated for a player who can be activated later in the season. New rule last year."

That's a different list, but that would also be a reason. However, IIRC, Harbaugh has already said the damage was too severe and there is no chance Pitta would be able to play at any point this year. BAL is better off saving their one IR-designated for return spot should someone else get hurt.

 

[Nucker101]

Greetings everyone,

Question #1- Is Brady still a safe bet for top 5? I don't see any reason to rush to grab him in redrafts. Efficient he will be but it seems New England might be suited to run the ball as much as they like. I wouldn't avoid Brady but I can think of a handful of other QBs in the 6-12 range I would be just as happy with going into the season.

Nope, I don't see him all of a sudden falling off of a cliff when it comes to production, but there's just so many good young qb's who can rack up some points running the ball as well as throwing it these days. Add in the losses of his TE's and I don't feel comfortable ranking him top 5 this year, but it wouldn't shock me if he is top 5 once again. I currently have him ranked #8, if he had a healthy Gronk for 16 games he'd probably move up a spot or two for me in my projections.

Question #2- Will Tannehill impede the Miami offense from getting better in 2013? I have not liked much from the reports out of camp. he can't hit the long ball to save his life and that was largely a problem last year as he missed several wide open long balls. The Miami offense is looking sluggish despite a 27-3 beating of Jax, Tannehill punted the ball 3 out of 4 possessions. I worry that Miller although talented might face 7 in the box a lot if Tannehill cannot challenge defenses.

I like Wallace and Keller as weapons and think Miller is a decent RB, but not a fan of Tannehill at all and apparently offensive tackle is also a weak spot for MIA this year. Not a good combination of weak spots for fantasy value in the passing game. I'll probably pass on all Dolphins this year, expect for Miller as an RB2 and that's only if he's available sometime after the top 30 picks or so.

Question #3- Is Chris Johnson still the #13 RB off the board?

I have him at #16 among RB's on my PPR redraft board. Early schedule looks tough.

Question #4a/b- Where does EJ Manuel rank on your top 30 QB list in redrafts for 2013? What does that mean for CJ Spiller?

25th(25 yards = 1 point, TD = 4 points, INT = -2 points). Doesn't effect Spiller too much IMO, he can't be much worse than Fitzpatrick and if he runs a bit in an option offense it could really open things up for Spiller. I have Spiller ranked 4th on my redraft board among PPR RB's.

Question #5- Which offense will be the worst in the AFC East...Miami/NY Jets/Buffalo?

Jets. No real need for an explanation and it won't matter who the QB is either.

Question #6- How good will the Cincinnati Bengals be this year? They have the development of the WR2/3/4 slots, terrific TE to pair with Gresham, Bernard added to help spice up the back field, this team has a solid OL, they should be ready roll and their defense is solid as well. Anything less than 10-6 is going to be a major disappointment. I think this is a Super bowl dark horse right here, lot of pressure on Dalton.

Agreed. really solid across the board, if they can develop a more dynamic offense and stay relatively healthy then look out.

Question #7- Pittsburgh/Baltimore will both be scratching for a wildcard playoff spot at best?

Baltimore yes, I have Pitt finishing #2 behind Cincy in the divison and getting in as a wildcard. I have the Ravens missing right now.

Question #8- Am I the only person who thinks Andrew Luck is going to distance himself from every other QB drafted in the last 3-4 seasons? No one is going to be able to stop him.

Nope he will not. RG3 if healthy will also be a stud. Luck will be like Rodgers though, definitely a stud for years to come. Wilson has the potential to be a Drew Brees with wheels. All 3 will be amazing.

Question #9- Who wins more games, Kansas City or San Diego?

KC for sure. Better defense and overall talent. I don't even see Rivers as a better QB than Smith to be honest. Charles is way better than Mathews. Bowe is better than any of the SD WR's. KC has a better O-line. I like McCoy as a coach, but that roster looks horrible.

Question #10- Despite all the off season hangovers, injuries, lost paper work, suspensions, all nighters, despite all that the Denver Broncos are still the AFC favorite to walk to the Super Bowl, yes/no?

Yes. They're locked and loaded.

Question #11- With the loss of Pitta and Hernandez, Brandon Myers becomes a shoe in for top 10 with Eli throwing him the ball?

Maybe. My PPR projections have like 7 or 8 TE's bunched in together after the obvious early names, TD's will probably be the deciding factor(an extra TD or a couple of elss than average will make the difference between the #9 TE and the #16 TE). It's a very shallow(quality-wise) and "meh" position after a certain point.

Question #12- How many times will Jerry Jones field questions about Jason Garret's job this season?

If the Cowboys finish 8-8 or 9-7, probably a lot, but this team isn't as amazingly talented as the media keeps saying it is. Dez is a monster, as is Ware and they have some other nice pieces but this isn't a team that is/should be considered a lock for 10+ wins like some people would have you believe.

Question #13- Is Aaron Rodgers really the #1 QB off the board? He has rookie RBs, Jennings is gone, Nelson cannot stay healthy, he lost his starting LT, things are not looking good right now for the Packers IMO. They could be an early season disaster with games against @SF, WAS(RG III), @Cin, the a bye and home for DET, and @Bal so the schedule not exactly kind early for the Pack.

Yes he is, if I could be assured that RG3 would stay healthy for 16 games and still run effectively I could make a case for him to be ranked higher than Rodgers potentially, but otherwise yes he is the top guy once again. No way I'm taking him in the first 2 rounds of a 12 team redraft league though. QB is as stacked as ever.

Question #14- Why is the NFL making it easier to stay away from the stadiums by making us carry see thru plastic? What's next, we wear a see thru plastic poncho with underwear on so they can see if we are carrying a concealed weapon under our shirts? If it's that dangerous than we just don't need to go.

I'm guessing safety/security reasons? No clue though.

Question #15- Which rookie WR has more catches this year, Hopkins or Patterson?

Hopkins for sure.

Question #16- Which WR emerges as the WR2 in San Fran in 2013?

Hmmm, I'd expect it to be a committee approach with the way things are looking now. People are forgetting that Manningham will be back during the regular season as well. I like Jenkins coming out of college so I'd guess he'd be my pick. Not a whole lot of value to be had at SF's WR position IMO. Davis will probably be the elading WR followed by Boldin and then 2-3 bunched together is my guess.

Question #17- Where do you value Golden Tate with Percy Harvin out?

Only at WR42 in PPR. I like Rice to be the #1 guy and I like Baldwin as a deep sleeper.

Question #18- Which NFL teams will produce the worst starting 5 RBs in 2013?

Real life or fantasy? Well according to my PPR projections: CAR, STL, ARZ, NYJ, IND

Question #19- Chris Givens in St, Louis, sleeper?

For sure, but I'd argue more of a value pick than sleeper.
