Players you cant let go one more round (1 Viewer)

[shortbow]

A lot of players this year that im not sure where they will be ranked in power rankings but that I will be reaching for them early regardless, just curious who all everyone else will be grabbing as their personal sleepers.

1. TE#1 Rob Gronkowski

2. WR#1.5/2 TB Mike Williams

3. WR#3 Danny Amendola

4. WR#4 T.O. (can only get better without noodlearm palmer throwing too him)

A lot of players this year that im not sure where they will be ranked in power rankings but that I will be reaching for them early regardless, just curious who all everyone else will be grabbing as their personal sleepers.1. TE#1 Rob Gronkowski2. WR#1.5/2 TB Mike Williams3. WR#3 Danny Amendola4. WR#4 T.O. (can only get better without noodlearm palmer throwing too him)

I definitely like this thread topic, but am not sure I agree with your picks. TE: Unless Hernandez gets hit by a bus, I am not sure whether there are enough TE balls to go around to make Gronkowski a TE 1 again this year. We forget sometimes, but with guys like Clark and Finley out, there are two spots that will be reclaimed in the top 10 and they will knock someone out...on the flipside, if guys like Gonzo and Cooley hit the wall, I can see Gronk jumping into that top 10, but I don't think he will hit elite status again.WRs: Williams was incredible...had him in one league as a flyer and he is the reason I could trot out 3 top 15 WRs in a PPR and win the championship (getting McFadden and Charles did not hurt either). I like him, and love Freeman, but man, if I were a DC, I would let ANYONE from that team beat me except for that Freeman to Williams combo. Amendola could still be nice in a PPR, but if STL goes early with a WR and Avery comes back healthy (plus Mark Clayton), his value may diminish...defintely worth paying attention to. With TO, I am not sure it is a guarantee he is in Cincy in 2011, so I think you need to wait on that one.For me...QB: Colt McCoy - Guy was lights out for a draft afterthought...Holmgren obviously had a hand in this and I am drooling at the prospect of grabbing him late in a draft and then pulling my hair out whether to start him on a weekly basis over the guy I drafted 5 rounds ahead of him. RB: CJ Spiller - I don't necessarily believe in the guy, I just believe in simple economics of ROI...the Bills will be literally obnoxious at times in play calling just to get something out of him and in a redraft, i don't see him going into the top 15 for RBs. Reggie Bush was better in FF his first couple of years than he has been recently...it is not because people "figured him out", it is because the Saints used him more (and maybe even to their detriment) because they invested so much in him (time and money)...expect the same from Spiller...especially in PPR.WR: Just love Mark Clayton coming off of an injury year. Guy was on fire with a rookie QB in his first 3-4 games, plus Clayton was a last minute addition to the team...I temper my excitement in the event STL shocks the world and acquires a V-Jax type, BUT even so, i think there is value to be had and at a cheap rate...and I have no problem adding him at a premium in my draft.TE: I am going to let my homerism get the best of me on this one, but I like Dustin Keller. Keller was a beast in the first 4 weeks of the season...enter Holmes off of suspension, exit Keller. I just don't see the Jets holding onto both Edwards and Holmes and when one is gone (I honestly think they did more of a service of rehabilitating Holmes' image than he did for them on the field...not that he was not very good, just they will not be able to afford him because of this), Keller will be competeing for balls with Cotch and Edwards and really, that is just not fair to those two.

A little early for me yet, but off the top of my head here's a few that have the potential to end up on my target list. Guys that I might jump on a little early in order to secure 'em:

QB: Sam Bradford, Matt Stafford, Josh Freeman

- With McDaniels in town (and presumably a new WR1 to throw to) the sky is the limit for Bradford. With Stafford I'm assuming the Lions add a bigger, bruising back and a speed WR to play opposite CJ. If both pieces are in place and Stafford stays healthy he'll be a legit QB1 for sure. Then with Freeman I don't see any reason why he can't be a key component of a QBBC again this year with the obvious upside of a QB1 who gets locked into your lineup. If I can get two of these 3 guys in the middle round I'm feeling pretty solid with my committee.

RB: Montario Hardesty, Jason Snelling

- I love Hardesty's talent and Shurmur is already talking about a RBBC with Hillis. With Snelling, Turner loves to get hurt and he's proven he can step right in there. I want both those guys before the Hillis/Turner owners can lock them up.

WR: Arrelious Benn

- Everyone will grab M.Williams early and forget that Benn was coming on a bit before getting hurt at the end of the season. He'll be a cheap gamble.

 

[Stinkin Ref]

QB: Stafford/Bradford/Tebow

RB: Best/Blount

WR: Blair White/Ogletree/Decker

TE: Graham

some of these are not neccessarily sleepers but guys that I think you can get right now for sure or that will be way undervalued at least until preseason...Stafford could put up a 35 TD season and it wouldn't really surprise anybody, but people will get caught up on the injury history....when/if Tebow starts (I think he will from day 1) he has the ability to put up monster games....led fantasy QB's the last 3 weeks I believe...Best has the skills and situation to be a top 5 back....will be way undervalued until he busts of a couuple in preseason, and even then he will be taken too late in most drafts....Blount is a beast and is getting very little respect after a great year.....he also led the league in some pretty interesting but weird stats like most broken tackles and yards after initial contact and stuff.....Collie had 3 concussions last year and White has earned more playing time, he is one injury away (Wayne/Garcon/Collie)from being a fantasy starting WR every week and even without injury, he will still be on the field...Williams won't be back in DAL and I expect Olgetree who most people will forget about because of his injury last year, to win the WR#3 job in DAL which can be productive....Decker was probably going to work his way into the mix anyway, but the injury to Thomas should add fuel to that....Graham is already being hyped, but in some drafts I have seen 9-10 TE taken before him and I think he has top 5 potential which doesn't neccessarily make him a sleeper, but possible value.....some of these guys will be early picks, some late, and not neccesarliy sleepers but guys you might be able to sit on for a round or so, but then who you may have to get a little earlier than where everybody else thinks they should go.....or in the case of the WR's if they should go at all...

'Bot - Really like th Bradford call when talking QBBC...imagine getting him and Freeman at that 11-14 QB range...you could go wrong if you waited on on QB and nabbed those two. Like Hardesty too, but can't imagine ATL sitting still with Snelling....UNLESS, for some reason, they still believe in Norwood and want to give him one more year (personally, if I were a fan, i would want him gone). If they choose to stand pat (and I really believe that has more to do with Norwood than Snelling), I think the Snelling pick is good...my guess is they clean house behind Turner and get a proper backup.P.S. Also like the Benn call.

Vick - In redraft, you take the risk.

Collie - Also undervalued due to risk.

Crabtree - Will be a great value pick in PPR.

Jordy Nelson - Driver role? Finally? Good value even if Finley is 100%

Danario Alexander - Worth the gamble. Think he's the only (current) Rams WR capable of putting up WR1 numbers next year.

Whoever Atlanta signs/drafts for WR2

Whoever Baltimore signs/drafts as a deep threat/big play WR

Pierre Thomas - Will put up top 15 numbers when healthy.

Choice - Undervalued even if Felix stays healthy all year. If he doesn't, Choice's a RB1.

Honestly I put Gronkowski in the top 3 TEs, I think he has the potential to have an even better career then Gonzo.I like Spillers chances this year, I didnt buy into it last year but I wont ignore his talent and the situation, ill be looking at him in the mid rounds too, probably my 3rd or 4th rb

 

[_lurker_]

Honestly I put Gronkowski in the top 3 TEs...

what about...

TE: Unless Hernandez gets hit by a bus, I am not sure whether there are enough TE balls to go around to make Gronkowski a TE 1 again this year.

Hernandez looks good enough to ruin the situation altogether, yeah?

Great point on Snelling and whether or not Atlanta will address their RB depth after Turner. It'll be interesting to see what the rest of the offseason brings. I kind of don't expect Norwood to be back there, so if that happens they'll have to bring in someone and that could definitely skew my view on Snelling.

 

[Go deep]

Ryan Mathews - Chargers RB's ran for over 1800 yards yards and caught for another 900 yards with 20 total TD's last season. Tolbert did OK last year, but he s not a NFL starting RB, and with Sproles gone, Mathews is in for a BIG year. He will be a popular pick of mine in 3rd rounds of redrafts this year.

Good call. I could easily see him get double the touches he got last season if he stays healthy. That would make him a top 5 FF rb.
