Kick/Punt Returners (1 Viewer)

Which kick/punt returners will make a significant impact this year (on offense/def also)

Our money league is awarding a decent amt of pts for return yardage

• Kick Return Yard: .05 pt

• Punt Return Yard: .10 pt

when rushing/receiving yards are 0.1 pts

I hear Devin Hester is okay.

 

[Ed4252]

Hester isn't someone that will make an impact on offense though (I don't think)

I'm talking about guys like S Smith (will he return this year?

Mc Gee/Maurice Jones-Drew/Wes Walker?/Morency/R Bush?/Antwaan Randle El

Would you reach for any of these guys just because of the scoring system like pick Bush #1.

This is a dynasty league also so it's doubtful Bush will remain a PR/KR in the future.

Your best bet is to look at FBG depth charts where it is listed and cross reference the statistics section of NFL.com where you can sort. Anybody listed on depth charts as doing both has some added value. Usually, it makes someone who otherwise might not be worth rostering worth a low spot or bye week filler.http://subscribers.footballguys.com/apps/depthchart.php

Welker, Hester, and Ginn are probablyh obvious candidates. Maybe Sproles, Drummond, Reid. S. Moss or Randal El depending on who is getting most PRs in Washington.

Welker

The rook in Balmar figurs to be a good returnman and they have no WR depth

Chris Gamble - CB CAR

He's a good CB and decent returner - good for a couple scores via picks or returns.

I don't know for sure, but rookie Johnnie Lee Higgins might just be the returner of choice for Oakland. He might even break through as WR too, being as the Raiders corps is pretty weak.Id

 

[Toads]

Jacoby Jones is making his name as a returner in HOU.

 

[The Hank]

Willie Reid in PIT, he was injured last year, but is turning heads again in OTA

IIRC the Panthers are looking to relieve SSmith of that duty.Here it is from March:

Pat Yasinskas, of the Charlotte Observer, reports Carolina Panthers head coach John Fox is still looking for a punt returner for next season. Fox does not want CB Chris Gamble or WR Steve Smith to return punts.
