do we have a top 5 or top 10 for WR or RB (or TE) KR/PR's?
I usually create a modifier to add to their projected FPP scored in a season and adjust their price accordingly

Does anyone know if Danny Amendola will return Kicks and Punts?

He certainly was slated to return them before Avery's injury, but now that he is moving in a more active role on Offense, I'm not sure if he will still return them. From what I've read, he's still expected to, but I think that is still to be decided.

My guess is that return duties this year will be shared by Amendola and Gilyard.

What about Scott McGee and Marc Mariani? They're leading this pre-season in Return Yards
Mike Herman
Footballguy
McGee is probably the safer bet of those two, especially early in the year before Deji Karim can take his cast off and resume kickoff returns.

shouldn't KANSAS CITY be GREEN BAY?

In this case, yes. (thanks for catching that)

So with Josh Wilson going to Baltimore, what is his role going to be there?

I am wondering if anyone has any recent news, theory, or gut feeling on the amount of return work a few guys will be getting.
Harvin - does a bigger role in the offense reduce how much he is used on returns? migranes are also a concern.
Knox - does a bigger role in the offense reduce how much he is used on returns?
McCluster - is he in line to be the main returner?
Amendola - does he lose some return work to Gilyard? does being a starting reciever cut into his return usage?

Is Webb in the picture anymore?
I'm fairly confident that Javier Arenas will be the Chiefs kick returner. He's gotten the majority of the work and has been incredible in the preseason, to say the least.
OMG! Ponies!
Footballguy
i haven't seen anything disputing that he would be, but he's only returned a couple in the preseason, with wolfe returning more.
just wanted to make sure either way.
i have him penciled in for about 900 KR yards.

Thought it was Manning returning kickoffs and Hester returning punts.........
Bears website has both Manning and Knox listed as the first stringers for KOs.

It'll be a mix of Knox, Hester, and Manning at all three I think.

ugh. that's not what i wanted to hear. okay. hmmmmm...

I'd have my money on Manning who is an excellent returner as well. Knox is the number 1 receiver for the Bears, they can't risk him on returns.

I don't have hard info --- just some vague recollections from snippets.harvin -- my impression was that his return work was either getting cut back or cut out in favor of reynaud, but that's not anything factual.mccluster -- I thought I had read something about them not wanting to use him much on returns so he could focus on offense -- as that other guy mentioned, I had thought it was arenas in kc.amendola -- no idea, but I'd be interested to find out.
as I mentioned above, I think it's arenas over charles.sproles, I believe, is still their return guy.I believe the eagles have announced hobbs as their kr, and I'm just going to guess spiller isn't all that involved outside of maybe an occasional return.I'm looking for mckelvin to retake that job.

KR & PR

Arenas will be in the elite club very soon. 4 preseason games, a big return in every single one of 'em. Best returner in NCAA history. Lots of opportunities at KRs after teams score and kick.

Ok I am in a league in which return yards count for both player and defense special teams. 1 point per 20 for player and 1 per 25 special teams tds count 6 for both. My research has Cribbs number 1. Also defense does not get any negative points so I am going to pick him up again with the D/ST. Where did you guys draft your return men? and how did you rank your return men?
davegameplayer
Footballguy
Is this solely based upon last nights kick return against the Rams? Also Is he the type of guy that Belichick will let return kicks and punts as long as he has the WR duties?
davegameplayer
Footballguy
Link please would like to read it.

He was one of the best returners in NCAA history, and has showed this preseason why. Yes, Belichick will absolutely give him the kick return duties.
davegameplayer
Footballguy
I will bump him up my list is he going undrafted right now?Thanks for the insight.
Gopher State
Footballguy
Adam Jones will be big for Cinn
PatsFanCT
Footballguy
Undrafted in my first two drafts so far because his value now is really only as a returner.
davegameplayer
Footballguy
I am new to this format, and from studying the league I just got into this is niche that can be taken advantage of. Since many of the other league players don't take into account this stat. The specs for my league are QB RB RB WR WR (flex QB RB WR TE) TE K D. I am looking at WR for the return man because that is going to be the weakest part of my team. I have decided to go QB RB heavy early in my draft. I feel that this spot can win the championship if I can get this right. Also of note from what I can tell these guys aren't to serious about this, but it is a fair amount of money with transaction fees and I want to get this right.

RB Darius Reynaud traded from Min to NYG!
Greg Camarillo may be favorite to return punts in MN after the trade per Star Tribune. Asher Allen (CB) also in the mix.
Star Tribune
The question I am most interested in - does the Reynaud trade mean Percy is locked into KR duty? I'm not aware of other good candidates on the roster.
