Players You Can't Decide On (1 Viewer)

Sproles --- hate not being able to see him in the flow of the offense during pre-season. No idea how bad the injury really is. Lots to love in PPR leagues...just don't know if he gets the same number of touches this season.

Lance Moore/Brandon LaFell/Titus Young --- have these guys all ranked very similarly, and just can't really get myself to pull the trigger on any of them, because I get the feeling that one of them will hit, but two won't.

Making my tiers and cannot figure out how to split then slot Jennings/Nelson and nicks/Cruz at all. It's a complete toss up.
I personally like Nicks/Nelson from this group and took both at the 3/4 turn in my draft with Cruz still available (Jennings went mid 3rd, had he and Nelson been on the board I still would have went Nelson/Nicks.) Cruz can't possibly score 5 TDs over 65 yards again - I think the number was that 30% of his points for the year came on those 5 catches. You could say the same thing about Nelson, but Rodgers loves him in the red zone, and frankly he has been Green Bay's best weapon since the 2010 playoffs. Last year was not a fluke for him, any shark saw that coming. Nicks to me is a bit of an injury risk, but if he is healthy, 1350/11 wouldn't surprise me. I don't think Cruz has that kind of upside this year. Nicks went 444/4 in the playoffs last year, I like him as top 5 WR this season.
 
First,I think this is a good thread.

Kenny Britt - He has the potential to be great, 2-TDs a game great. He is also brittle. Like a china doll brittle. Flip a coin.

Darren McFadden - Again, same deal. I think I would be holding my breath every time he touched the ball.

Ryan Matthews - Has he ever stayed healthy for a season? Now he is getting even MORE touches this season? Sure. Sure he is. He's already hurt. No way he makes a season.

Dez Bryant/Miles Austin - I'll believe it when I see it.

Mike Wallace/Jones-Drew/most holdouts - Aside from Emmitt Smith, does it ever turn out well for a holdout?

Just some quick thoughts.

 
Tony Romo - I'm aware of all of the injuries, but I've looked over some recent drafts and he's slipped to 7th round in some, limiting some risk

Reggie Bush/Daniel Thomas- Will Philbin give Bush as much work as he had last year and can he stay on the field for basically the full season two years in a row

A Peterson- Like others, I want to believe he's way above average in healing time and is back, but the injury happened so late in the season

 
Matt Schaub is another one. The guy has had plenty of monster yardage games but never seems to throw a lot of TDs due to the focus on the running game. Its frustrating to watch a guy go for 435/1/1 a few times a year.

He had 24 TDs in 2010, was on a pace for over 24 TDs last year. Yeah, I dont see him hitting 30 TDs or ending up in the top 6-7 QBs, but he would almost certainly increase the TDs if AJ stays healthy this year. Now thats a fairly large if, but also lets you know his floor is very high even without his stud WR. His ADP is mid-7th, but in most drafts Ive done he goes 2+ rounds later than that. Great QB2 in a QBBC which I think I may be leaning to with all the health concerns and guys returning from major injuries in the first 5 rounds at RB and WR.

AJ's career high in TDs is 9, and he is entering his 10th year in the league. In the 5 years he has played 16 games, he's averaged a tad over 6 TDs per season. He just doesn't score enough.

:goodposting: , amazing how this is overlooked, over and over again.

I don't think its overlooked.In 2010 he finished 7th in my standard scoring league (1216 and 8 TDs)The year before...higher with 1569 yards and 9 TDs....year before, 1579 and 8.2007 he had 8 TDs in 9 games.He was hugely productive for those 4 years...and keeps Schaub a very good QB2 and borderline QB1 if they can all stay healthy.

Understood but its not like he wont lead the team in receiving TDs if he's healthy. Johnson was also pretty much the least of the point I was trying to make.
 
Chris Johnson and/or Darren McFadden as well as Julio Jones. Love Julio this year but is he worth a 2nd round pick at 2.4 in a 10 teamer? Leaning towards yes. But what if a Charles or Peterson is there?

I cannot stomach Chris Johnson right now. A lot of people are high for him to bounce back but idk? Like Dmac also but injuries are a concern

 
Dez Bryant, (will he perform like a near top tear number 1 wideout)

He has the potential, but will he and has QB stay healthy?

Will there be enough Healthy other targets for Romo so he doesn't get triple covered?

I like Dez where is ADP is, and I'll take the chance but I'm not feeling uber confident.

-----------

Peyton Hillis, it's all about will he get the touches for me, as I believe in the ability.

-----------

Carson Palmer as a QB2 with upside, is he going to be as bad as preseason looks or get better?

-----------

A.J. Green, is he good enough to perform on a team I feel just may struggle to score good points?

-----------

Trent Richardson, will he be good enough This Year to afford stashing on your bench for a few weeks?

-----------

Ahmad Bradshaw, will he keep the starting role? And perform well enough to draft at his current ADP?

-----------

Mikel LeShoure, will he end up with the starting gig for Detroit (by at least by mid season as well)?

My Short ListCam NewtonDoug MartinDemarco MurrayAntonio GatesRob GronkowskiTypically I stay away from the guys I can't pin down unless they slide in drafts. These guys probably wont end up on my squads per their current ADPs.
Good call on Gronk so far. Even though you have a tendency to rub folks the wrong way, you do make some good calls. Through 3 weeks, Gronk is one of them.

Same with Gates. The only decision I have to make regarding him is whether it's worth using up a bench spot for him.

All those guys (except for Murray) seem like good calls so far.

Murray has looked horrid in two of three so far.
 
As someone else pointed out in another thread, Martin seems like Forte in his rookie year - he's going to be a solid RB2 on sheer volume. I don't even think about that guy, I just plug him in every week.
