Rookies in redraft this year (1 Viewer)

[Bri]

May I hear some decent projections of which rookies will actually produce in their first year please?

There's 4-7 that seem to be obvious. Feel free to state those, but also if you don't mind please tell me some others.

There's zero reason to believe the rookie class will have 10 1000 yard RBs or 10 1000 yard WRs and the further away from the NFL draft, I like to hear some normalcy with the shine worn off.

Thanks

If they start the season as a starter, they have a good chance to produce moderate to slightly above average numbers. Several rookie WRs have found success recently. Most began the year as a starter. Eddie Royal, Kenny Britt, DeSean Jackson, Dwayne Bowe, Percy Harvin, Austin Collie, Johnny Knox, Jeremy Maclin and Michael Crabtree. That's not a bad list of recently successful rookies.

This year those who could follow suit are Dez Bryant, Mike Williams, Arrelious Benn, Golden Tate, Brandon LaFell and to some extent, Dexter McCluster. I'm not sure if Demaryius Thomas begins the year as a starter, especially not with his latest injury that re-aggravated his ankle/foot.

As for projections - if you can hit 50-55 catches and 5-6 TDs, that's a good rookie season. I think Bryant has the best chance of reaching that. The others will likely finish slightly below that.
