Players that Can Take You to a Fantasy Championship This Year

Antonio Gates: His current ADP is late 3rd round, this is one of the best value picks on the board. Two years ago, Gates was on pace to shatter his own TE records. He is in a very similar situation this year, with SD having a very pedestrian WR corps. Vincent Brown was the one bright spot of the bunch and was in line for a breakout year. Many of us had him as a sleeper as he has a very similar skill set to Vincent Jackson. However, he broke his ankle, and will miss about half of the season (but could still be very valuable later on in the year down the playoff stretch).

Bold Predictions: 80 rec, 1200 yds, 13tds… approximately 240 FF Pts.

Floor (If Healthy): 75 rec, 1000yds, 8tds… approximately 150 FF Pts.

(half a point per reception league)

This is exactly what makes his value so strong. The very worst Gates can do for you in a mediocre season (if he stays healthy of course) is 5th best TE. You are taking no more of a risk by taking him in the 3rd than any WR on the board. We know Gates track record, we know he is going to be a featured weapon for the Chargers, we know Phillip Rivers trusts him, and most importantly we know he is Rivers favorite red zone target.

Last Year: Players that scored over 150 pts at WR/TE

30 WR’s

7 TE’s

There were only 4players that did so in 2010, but they again there were about 30 (27 WR’s that did so in 2010. You are filling one of the weaker positions on your squad with a player that will at worst be a top 30 WR, and at best be a top 5 WR. Only 4 WR’s had over 240 FF pts last year.

You getting a top tier TE, you are ensuring a “Strong Point” in a position that can be relatively “inconsistent” in fantasy football. We all hate when our TE’s go for 3 rec, 26 yards six times during the season. It’s like a black hole for points that week. Why pick a TE that might breakout this year, or a guy that is middle of the pack when you get Gates at the end of the 3rd round, and potentially have a top 5 WR that normally are picked by the middle of the 2nd round. In fantasy football, the TE position has become the most important positions to lock down because the huge point differential between the top TE, and the 12th TE off the board (last year it was 160 ff pts, for WR it was 110 ff pts.), and the inconsistency from week to week. Consistency is one of the most underrated statistics in fantasy football. Don’t be the one who misses out. I believe he is one of players this year that will open the “Gates” of opportunity for a fantasy football championship for your squad.

There are a lot of guys that are possibilities if injuries are speculated. However, without injuries, I will say Vick. There is no other player capable of carrying a team like he can. He is going in the 6th-8th round right now.

 
getting the thread back on track, I'd say an easy pick is Ridley. If you got him in the 6th round or later, he's a (possible) RB2 and that's great value for guys that may have spent a top pick on a non-RB.

 
I'm going with Percy Harvin - the migraine thing still gives many owners the creeps (even though he's only missed 3 games in 3 years, and there were reports last year that the migraines are being controlled through sleep apnea treatment).

As a result a top-10 WR from last year who no longer has McNabb and a rookie throwing to him falls to the 4th or 5th round. Insane value- someone you get feel comfrtable with at WR1 after going QB-RB-RB in some order for the first three rounds

RG3

1) people with subway sponsorship tend to win (see Happy Gilmore)

2) sadly he's my QB1 right now and I need him to perform.

 
Greg Olsen.

1) former first round pick, was underutilized in Chicago, was always thought of as a big redzone threat

2) last year Shockey was around, and they kept Olsen in to block a lot due to O line injuries

3) there's a theory around that tolbert was brought in to block to free up the te

4) no more shockey

5) no established #2 wr

6) Chudzinski, the panthers OC, was Gates's TE coach in SD, then the OC in Cleveland For the crazy Derek Anderson/Braylon Edwards/Kellen Winslow year in 2007

:goodposting: I like this one. This guy has the potential for 1000 yards receiving, 500 rushing, and 10 TDs
 
Anyone you can get relatively cheap who has the potential for a dominant season.

My list:

Trent Richardson

Doug Martin

Jonathan Dwyer

CJ Spiller

David Wilson

Dez Bryant

Torrey Smith

Justin Blackmon

Reggie Wayne

Jon Baldwin

Sidney Rice

Malcom Floyd

 
Andrew Luck

Just too talented for his low ranking (seen him below Alex Smith for goodness sake...come on now).

Indy D looking like it'll be terrible, every game could be a shootout.

Underrated rusher.

Reggie Wayne's still there.

Suspect RBs make for a pass first game plan.

This... certain guys that in some leagues you can get more value. I happened to snag Trent Richardson at 4.12 and Harvin at 5.01. My league also values return yardage. That being said I see no reason why Harvin can't be a WR1. He's gotten progressively better every year since his rookie season. This could easily be a breakout season for him. Another guy I think is Nate Washington. Him and Locker seemed to have great chemistry last season in the two games Locker saw action Washington had 100+ yards and 1TD. Locker targeted him often, same seemed true in the preseason. With Locker at the helm now I wouldn't be shocked to see Washington have that 1200yd 10 TD type season.
 
I like these guys to go huge this year and grossly outperform their ADPs if they stay healthy:

McFadden

Jordy

Harvin

Vick

Hernandez

McGahee

Garcon

Wayne

Olsen

If either Jennings or Jordy gets hurt: Cobb

 
Percy Harvin. Based on his ADP, especially in PPR, Reggie Bush will help some teams over the top if he stays healthy and puts up similar numbers. With a few more passes caught.

 
I really think that Fred Jackson is going to outproduce all but the big 3 RBs & McFadden.

I also agree with the folks that are touting Ridley.

 
I nominate Jamaal Charles and/or Peyton Hillis. I really think one of the two, if not both, will really cash in on that week 14-16 playoff schedule and propel their owners to some league championships.

 
With Manning under center in Denver, McGahee should be in line for a massive year. With no real competition for carries, he will far surpass where he is being drafted

 
My manlove for Percy Harvin is well documented. He was my WR2 heading into the preseason. With the Vikes now carrying fewer RB's, and Peterson's knee still looking iffy heading into week one, I see him as a full-blown backup RB in terms of touches. He got about 5 rushes a game once he got going last year, and I think that number goes up. I see him like Darren Sproles from last year, except with even more touches, an extra 3-4 yards per reception, and WR eligibility. Remains my #2 overall WR heading into the season.

I continue to think Donald Brown is deeply underappreciated. He's going to be the workhorse back in Indy, but brings a dream skill set for a developing QB on a bad team. On days when the O-Line is up to snuff, he's going to pile up rushing yards, and has the ability to break off occasional big ones. On days when the line is getting dominated (and they will not be rare), he's going to be power-used in the dumpoff passing game, as the coaches urge Luck to remain safe above all. His yards from scrimmage are going to be extremely reliable, and 1500 total wouldn't shock me at all, with as many touches as I see him getting. 8-10 TD's just based on quantity of opportunities. A RB1 by season's end, and I think one of the league's safest bets to be so.

Torrey Smith is going to be a giant. Didn't play the first couple games last season, but once he got into the games, played at around 1000/9 pace the rest of the year. That was A) as a rookie, B) without Flacco's and the staff's unwavering trust yet, C) before what shapes up to be the new and more dynamic Ravens' offense. What is the new and more dynamic Ravens' offense? According to Cameron, it'll mostly look a lot like the old and stodgy Ravens' offense, where everything runs through Ray Rice. The difference will include lots of no-huddle where a fully mature Flacco is given the option to take more shots when he sees the opportunities. That situation favors the team's best receiver, since he's going to get a lot more chances to make plays happen in favorable circumstances...and it favors the deep threat, since that guy, above all, is going to see several more chances at homerun balls over the course of the season. On the Ravens, both those receivers are Torrey Smith. Still calling 1300/10, and feeling very confident in it.

In a hurry, but these guys wrap up my five-star specials...

Fred Jackson - who is being drafted way too late for a guy fully recovered from a fairly minor injury that is the only thing that kept him from contending for #1 RB last year. A first round value.

Malcom Floyd - who I now see as the utterly uncontested WR1 in SD. Gates will be awesome, but Rivers is putting up 4500/30 as usual, and I don't see any other threats to gather big numbers. The trust between Rivers and Floyd is creating a perfect storm of opportunity. A high-end WR2 with WR1 chances.

Ryan Fitzpatrick - People are forgetting how reliable and excellent he was as a fantasy QB at the start of last season...before the league figured him out a little bit. Except, it turns out they didn't figure him out so much as he played through injury all season. The WR corps is healthier, deeper, and more experienced. Spiller has proven enough that they're going to be sure he gets involved some...although Fred runs so well, Spiller's contributions are going to be almost 100% through the passing game (think Ronnie Harmon, but with crazy wheels). Chandler and Fitzpatrick appear to be in a zenlike state of sympatico. AND...and this is the biggest AND of all...that defense is going to give the Bills O a LOT more shots in scoring position this year. There's going to be a heavy duty spike in TD ops, and there's no dearth of redzone targets on this team. I think the running game is still the bread and butter, but the passing game is going to get theirs, particularly in the scoring department. 4200/28/15 on the back end of the draft.

Agree on Torrey Smith, but a lot of teams have him as a #3 or #4 WR. If he can't crack your starting lineup, you could have a stud wasting away on your bench unless you make a trade.

I play mostly in leagues where you're allowed to move players from the bench to your starting lineup, so this isn't an issue for me.That aside, the real benefit here is that if you feel like you can two top-10 receivers in, for example, Harvin and Smith in the 5th and 6th rounds, you can load up at every other position and if you're right in your evaluations, you run away with the title.
 
Donald Brown - Looks to be the workhorse on the team, yeah he probably will not rush for 100 yards every week but he will catch passes and score on some touchdowns. I like him as a solid RB3/4 with lots of upside.

Trent Richardson - If you can get him in the third or fourth round and are able to get into the fantasy playoffs without using him the first few weeks then I feel strongly his owners will be rewarded the 2nd half of the season.

Russell Wilson- Idk what it is but I just have a good feeling about this guy, he can run, throw, he is smart, he is just a beast.

David Wilson - Once Bradshaw goes down this guy is gonna shine, Giants already released Ware, they know what they have in Wilson.

Julio Jones - There's enough out there on Predator but I am thinking somewhere around 1500 yards and 14 td's is about right.

hope you are right with Floyd. I am depending on him as a wr3 in one league. most people think hes going to get hurt quickly, if he does I think Vincent brown becomes the guy. don't think meachum does much this year...

A lot depends on the format. I'm going with Cam Newton or Mike Vick here. They both can score heavy on rushing yards and td's and can light you up with their arms. I like Cam better than Vick because more will be needed to be done by Cam. Vick has a ton of help and a better defense which means less will be needed to be done by Vick.
Click to expand...
I also like Newton and the Panther's schedule has a lot of teams on it that score points:Atlanta (2)New Orleans (2)Dallas GiantsChicagoDenverPhiladelphiaSan DiegoIn these games Newton will need to produce and if the Panthers happen to fall down by 2-3 td's, he will still be in there gathering fantasy points.
 
I have a hard time with guys drafted in the top 5 at their position for quarterbacks and tight ends or running backs or receivers in the top 10, because they are doing what we expected to do. Anyways my list

Ridley

Spiller

Antonio Brown

Eric Decker

Olsen

Pettigrew

Great points man...Percy Harvin, Torrey Smith, and Fred Jackson I agree with 100%

I am not sold on Floyd being a true #1 WR, I think he is more of a good WR#3 with upside.. I think Vincent Brown is the guy to get from the WR corps when he comes back

 
Eric Decker - you have to take him about a round earlier than his ADP

Ridley - others have mentioned

Garcon - should lite it up in DC unless Hankerson shows more than he has this preseason

 
QB: Eli Manning, Tony Romo and Peyton Manning: With as many as six QB's going in the first two rounds, patient owners can wait and snap up one of these three guys in rounds 5-7 and expect as much as 4500 yards and 30 TD's. I went QB early but gasped as these guys slid into the mid-late stages of the draft.

RB: Willis McGahee. McGahee is the best bet of all the 5-7th round picks to finish in the top 10. Denver will be a juggernaut on offense this year, and Willis will be the beneficiary. I expect many more screens and short TD runs than hes ever seen before. Manning has made miediocre running backs (see Joe Addai) into fantasy stars and Willis will solidify many teams' running game.

WR: Miles Austin: One of the least sexy WR's out there, Austin is still the goto guy in the Cowboys attack and should be good for 1200 and 8. Not bad for a sixth rounder. He will solidify many teams WR corps.

WR: Andre Johnson: Johnson is falling into the third round despite being fully recovered from last years injury. Calvin Johnson aside, theres no more dangerous weapon from a skill position in football. Some lucky FF teams actually have him as a WR2 which is just scary.

Dez Bryant...I know the risk involved, but if you can get him as a WR2 (or WR3, but that's unlikely), I truly think he can win you a lot of games this year. The talent he has is out of this world. If Austin misses time, Dez is going to get even more passes thrown his way. Love him.

 
Toby Gerhart - good RB behind a guy coming off ACL surgery

Kendall Hunter - Gore is breaking down

Darrius Heyward-Bey - really good numbers last year...clearly the #1 guy for Palmer

 
Pretty much everyone that can be mentioned in this thread is drafted at a value due to at least one major issue. These are all guys we love to take because they can win a league for us without really killing us.

I've been shooting for Britt and Miles Austin. Austin could be had for a 6th rounder quite often and Britt was easily attained for a 10th rounder before this week. On a per game basis, these guys can win a matchup when comparing them against other players drafted at that spot. Of course, I assume they will miss some time.

 
Santana Moss - him and RGIII will be this years Newton and Smith. Moss, like Mason and Driver before him is the ultimate late round WR.

I am not sold on Floyd being a true #1 WR, I think he is more of a good WR#3 with upside.. I think Vincent Brown is the guy to get from the WR corps when he comes back

Zeff refers to Floyd being the #1 WR target in San Diego, not a WR1 for your fantasy team. I agree that his best slot on a fantasy roster is as a WR3 with upside.

Righty-o. Except I'm more optimistic. :shrug:

Donald Brown - Looks to be the workhorse on the team, yeah he probably will not rush for 100 yards every week but he will catch passes and score on some touchdowns. I like him as a solid RB3/4 with lots of upside.

Trent Richardson - If you can get him in the third or fourth round and are able to get into the fantasy playoffs without using him the first few weeks then I feel strongly his owners will be rewarded the 2nd half of the season.

Russell Wilson- Idk what it is but I just have a good feeling about this guy, he can run, throw, he is smart, he is just a beast.

David Wilson - Once Bradshaw goes down this guy is gonna shine, Giants already released Ware, they know what they have in Wilson.

Julio Jones - There's enough out there on Predator but I am thinking somewhere around 1500 yards and 14 td's is about right.

[hijack]why do you insist on calling him Predator? Are you on a somekind of mission? Your suggestion failed miserably in your thread so why bring it up again here? Just let him be Julio Jones. [/hijack]

I hate to nit pick but when I think of players that "could lead you to a fantasy title", I think of fantasy home runs - difference makers like Gronkowski, Newton and Tebow were last year. There are some nice value plays suggested by some here but not too many late round or typically undrafted players named here that could put your fantasy team on their backs.

Of guys I've been targeting, I think Tamme has a shot to fit the description.

 
When I think of fantasy football MVPs, I think of guys who put up ridiculous numbers or came off the waiver wire to have big seasons.

My guess for the ridiculous numbers category is Darren McFadden. He's somewhere between Ray Rice and LeSean McCoy in terms of "fantasy points per touch", and he should be the focal point of the Oakland offense this year.

My guess for big season off the waiver wire is Jake Locker. He's owned in less than 50% of leagues, he has some nice weapons to throw to, and has a high yards per attempt. I'm eager to see him against the Patriots in week one to see how he handles being the starter.

i didn't say anything about him being a #1 WR for my fantasy team... i said him being a true #1 WR for San Diego... I don't think he has what it takes... he is much better in a complimentary role
