Ranking the rookie WR's for dynasty (1 Viewer)

[Jayrod]

I'm looking for a dynasty WR discussion for those of us without a high rookie pick. Obviously AJ & Julio are the top options this year, but who do you like next and why?

I guess if you need it spelled out for you, consider this a PPR discussion, but in dynasty I don't really think too much about scoring variations as much as talent and team situation. Some of these guys will become nobody's in a year or two and some will be regular starters and possibly superstars. Which do you think is which?

It is interesting how much this has changed. Cobb and Moore have really risen fast. Baldwin is falling. And a bunch of guys who were early second round guys like Hankerson, Smith, and Brown have not distinguished themselves at all yet.

About 2/3 of votes thus far have DMoore in the top five. Interesting.

This seems like the easy one to me on paper - it's the RB's after Ingram and Thomas that are clear as mud. Perhaps someone smarter than me and with more time on their hands could create a similar poll for the rookie RB's.

3. Baldwin

4. Little

5. Cobb

Not too excited about anyone else. I still think Edmond "Clyde" Gates has some upside and I like Jeremy Kerley, though I don't know how high his ceiling is.

Great idea.

I took Little followed by Baldwin followed by Moore. As a drafter in dynasty, I like to see a few things. First, I like first round pedigree. I don't listen to what a bunch of amateur wannabe scouts say. I like guys who teams feel strongly enough about to burn a first rounder as these guys get more opportunities than others. Second, I like hype. And lots of it. Hype tends to overinflate values, but that's fine by me as a savvy trader should be able to turn that hype into something good. Third, I like guys who are starting as rookies. Little has hype and starting, plus a lot of people believe character concerns dropped him to round 2, which means he's a first round talent. Don't know it for myself, but enough concensus is there to have me buying. Baldwin is a bit trickier as the preseason notes are suspect, his fight with TJ is just odd, and he may struggle. But if I'm choosing between him and a bunch of other guys who are starting to look every bit the prospect that he is, I'll take the guy drafted in the first with a chance to cement a starting spot by mid season. And Moore's hype has been off the hook. I'm not buying it as much as others as I think the Raiders beat writers have whiffed enough in the recent past (Schillens, Murphy) to be suspect, but his hype has dwarfed others, making him far more tradeable than the rest at the very least.
