"I have absolutely NO idea what to expect from ____ ..." (1 Viewer)

[Raider Nation]

You know you have a few. Here are mine.

Chad Ochocinco - Patriots

I would not be surprised if he had 80 catches and 10 TDs. I would not be surprised if he had 40 catches and 3 TDs.

To me, he is the single hardest guy to slot this season.

Darren Sproles - Saints

His role is clearly defined. "3rd & long"... But it's a crowded backfield. Is he even startable on heavy bye weeks?

Steve Smith - Eagles

He practiced yesterday (8/27) for the first time, WAY ahead of schedule. But he said he won't be 100% for 4-6 weeks.

Braylon Edwards - 49ers

He's obviously very talented. But he takes mental vacations, his hands are always suspect, and his QBs stink. Who knows...

 

[zamboni]

Jimmy Graham

Lots of Finley hype surrounding this guy, and the TDs may be there, but not sure how many receptions he's going to get with all the options in the passing game.

 

[Bankerguy]

Felix Jones

Ryan Matthews

Tony Gonzalez

 

[PewterFan]

Matthew Stafford

He's the Fred Taylor of QB's. Can he stay healthy? If so, he'll post QB1 numbers.

Chris Johnson

Will he play? If so, will he get hurt because he's not in football shape? Where does one draft him in a redraft league?

Julio Jones/A.J. Green

Too much hype for year 1?

Arian Foster

Is he really worth the first overall pick in drafts? Top 3?

 

[Raider Nation]

Matthew Stafford

He's the Fred Taylor of QB's. Can he stay healthy? If so, he'll post QB1 numbers.

My fingers AND toes are crossed for this kid. Anyone who saw the Browns game last year cannot question his toughness.

Jahvid Best strikes me as a guy who could be a top-5 RB, or be a guy who is barely even useful outside of PPR leagues.

Michael Vick is another guy where I could see him being the best QB in fantasy history, or regress back to his Atlanta days.

Reggie Bush sure sounds like he may be a different back than his reputation suggests this season. I'm not really interested in drafting him, but if he suddenly plays to his college potential(like McFadden last year) I won't be completely surprised.

Kenny Britt This one is probably just as much off the field stuff as on the field stuff. But while I'm not a huge Hasselbeck fan, he's a huge upgrade from Collins, and Britt was pretty productive with Collins. Britt's another guy where I see top-5 upside, but I'm a little hesitant to invest.

This. I managed to get Best as a Flex player in my league, and I'm still worried about him being able to fill that spot. I guess some of this comes from being an owner of his from last year. When he slipped to the fifth round, I strongly considered passing, but the value was just too high.To add one of my own, Willis McGahee. As someone who has watched John Fox coach the Panthers for many years, I think that he may be the steal of the draft this season...but at the same time, there is a big chance that he could just be the goal line back.

Seriously. Not one mention of Percy Harvin?

Do you guys know something that I don't?

Migraines aside, what's not to like?He's the only show in town and he's pretty good at catching short-hops.

He tops my list of guys who will:400-2

1200-10

 

[Badgers Fan]

Chris Johnson. Sign soon. Please.

Reggie Bush. How many healthy games does he get? How is he used?

 

[ultramattman]

#1 - Felix Jones. Hasn't the stage been set for Felix to 'break out' before? Like the last two seasons?

#2 - Knowshon Moreno. What's John Fox's plan for Knowshon and McGahee?

#3 - Brandon Lloyd. Love that he still has Orton, but I hate any wide receiver that changes offensive systems.

#4 - Peyton Manning. I'm seeing this guy fall as far as the seventh or eighth round now.

#5 - Kenny Britt/Dez Bryant. I'm lumping them together because I see both as guys capable of disappointing or cranking out some crazy season-defning 1500/15 megayear.

MJD

This will probably be the first year since his rookie season that I probably won't have him on any teams at all.

 

[Anonymous Internet User]

some big question marks for me just to name a few:

Mike Wallace - 20+ yards per reception is not sustainable, how many targets does he get with the insane depth the Steelers now have at WR

Brandon Lloyd - new offensive scheme, maybe new QB if Orton is traded or benched

James Jones - does he overtake for Driver?

Frank Gore - finally a big, healthy year or is this whole team a sinking ship?

DeAngelo Williams - new offensive scheme, new QB, RBBC

Mike Wallace - 20+ yards per reception is not sustainable, how many targets does he get with the insane depth the Steelers now have at WR

Nobody in the history of the NFL has ever recorded 2,000 receiving yards in a season. Not Jerry Rice, who holds the record with 1,858. Not Terrell Owens. Not Tim Brown, Randy Moss or Marvin Harrison.But that apparently is not going to stop Steelers WR Mike Wallace from planning on breaking that 2,000-yard mark. Sounds crazy, right?* Wallace understands your concerns. But he still believes in himself that he could accomplish something so monumental.*That’s because it IS crazy."I'm not saying that I'm better than any of those guys, but I feel like I'm Mike and I'm my own person," Wallace said, via the Detroit Free Press. "I don't care what Jerry Rice did. I don't care what Randy Moss did."For the record, in his first two seasons in the league, Wallace has combined for 2,013 receiving yards. His career yards per catch, at 20.3 yards per reception, is pretty darn impressive, but he’d need to record 100 catches this year with that kind of average in order to follow through on his prediction.

A year removed from his knee injury & no Randy Moss. Can he be the PPR monster he once was?

Screw Moss. Can he do it health wise is my only question. And thats my main question, stearing clear personally.Javid is my second question, can he handle it and stay healthy...if he can omg beast.Old B Wells is my 3'rd...if fumblitis doesnt get him an injury might. but he has moves.

Percy not sitting out yet because of them is a very good sign. I love him this year.Austin Collie is my guy that could get:

400-2

or

1200-10

Old B Wells is my 3'rd...if fumblitis doesnt get him an injury might. but he has moves.

(BTW, he lost zero fumbles last season. The "fumblitis" tag is largely perception due to a short string in his rookie season - in fact it was THT that fumbled last year (likely part of the reason they weren't clamoring to keep him more than they did).Opinions on Wells are all over the place - from top 10 RB "easily" to barely an RB2 (at least by his ADP in many drafts). I have no clue. I lean more toward the former than the latter, but either could happen and I don't know that anyone would be shocked.

The other is (blasphemy warning here) - Mark Ingram. For all the hype, he's averaging less than 3 YPC in preseason. I realize it's only preseason, but there also seems to be little known about how often he and Pierre are going to splitting time. Payton's history suggests that "Ingrim will be a bell-cow back" is not a foregone conclusion. Similarly to Wells, he could finish in the top 10 - or as a fair RB2...and neither would be a shock (well, unless you reached for him way too early or left him sitting on the draft board to snag Willis McGahee.)

You can add a neck injury now to the list.MJD: He's my pick but at the sametime even with the knee I think he put 1600 yards rushing last year? He's going to be just fine. But still a question for most fantasy leagues.
