Soulflydamus - Positional Ballsiness (1 Viewer)

Soulfly3

Footballguy
Today, I present to you my finalized ballsy callsy report.

I put my pristine reputation on the line, with my positional guarantees for the season. Disregard at your own peril.

Quarterback

Cam Newton - you were cold on him... perhaps after watching Kelvin Benjamin make a few nice preseason grabs, you've heated up on him.

No. Don't.

Cam finishes the fantasy season where his WR corps says he'll finish... Outside the top 15. Yes, the top 15. Ribs of jello, chef boyardee'd ankle... No thanks. Won't run as much, and wont take the goalline rushing chances for fear of his body exploding like a supernova.

Avoid!

Running Back

Alfred Morris - Jackson and Garcon and Reed, oh my! Who cares? All that does is open up the running game for the most underrated rusher in the NFL. Just look at how many yards he's put up in the last 2 seasons... LOOK AT IT. Yes, you read that correctly... 2888yds. Yes, 1444yds per season. Oh, and 20 TDs...

Morris will be running through gaps as wide as the ones between Strahan's front teeth. Top 5 fantasy finish.

Wide Receiver

Mike Evans - When I think Evans, I think McCown... When I think McCown, I think Alshon. When I think Alshon I think "boy, did McCown love him"...

So how much will McCown love him a bigger (by 2"), badder (by nearly 20pnds) and available (2" arm length advantage) version?? a whole frigging lot.

McCown made Alshon a star last year... Yes, I said it... While Cutler has his sites locked on Marshall, McCown took full advantage of his "other" receiver who was more open, and working v weaker coverage. That'll continue this season, as he makes Evans his no1 target, and he goes on to not only finish ABOVE VJax in fantasy stats, but goes on to an easy top 15 finish for WRs in 2014.

Get yourself some.

Tight End

Jace Amaro - Avoid all jets? No. Go against the grain, young man. There is bounty aplenty on the dark side... What is known as a fantasy wasteland over in NY, will help win some folks a championship this season.

Amaro was a camp "bust" according to knobheaded NY journos, who wouldnt know the difference between rupaul and kate upton. Is he raw? Sure. But is he big, bad and a target monster for Geno? hells yes.

Amaro will flirt w double digit TDs this season. double. digit. he will be geno's safety valve. he will be all over the field. he will be a top 10 fantasy finsher in 2014. Decker and Cj2K keep defenses honest (and also get a whole lotta stats) and Amaro reaps the rewards... and hopefully you will too, with this season's version of Julius Thomas.

All this with Carl's voice is priceless.

Hey, really nice read. I like all three calls.

McCown has always been that way. He used to do the same thing with Fitzgerald. I am warming up to Mike Evans.

I don't agree with everything, but nice job.

In ppr leagues I want nothing to do with Morris, and to be honest if the passing game starts clicking I wouldn't be shocked to see Helu's role grow more and more as the season progresses.

As a Jets fan, not sure Amaro pays immediate dividends but do agree their offense isn't going to be the wasteland the lazy people that base everything off last season will think it is. Geno has shown improvement this preseason and Decker is a lot more than just "the product of Manning" that some want to label him.

Think the Eddie Lacy of FedExField.

Passing game be damned, they have a bruisin, cruisin, crappy car choosin RB that's gonna run his way into a top 5 finish.

Helu, imo, gets less work than ever this season.

I agree, they may not play their best RB because of the lighting rod that is Helu. Great call. Sounds like someone trying to justify that Morris was not just a 1600 yard back with 13 TDs just two year ago, which was his rookie season. The upside in this guy has been seen. We know what he is capable of.

Gordon was a bad call, but Morris is a good one.

 
I think we've finally found the fourth member of the Shark Pool Mt. Rushmore of unfunny, against the grain attention whores.

I like the calls. I do have Cam in one league, but I was the last of 12 teams to draft a QB and I also got Rivers as my backup because they have good schedules together. I have Morris in 1 of 3, but I have Mike Evans in 3 of 3 leagues (2 as a potential keeper), so I would love to see that come true.

Gordon was a bad call, but Morris is a good one.
Gruden's offense is predicated on the passing game and he used a Gio/BJGE tandem last year. Morris is terrible in the passing game and Gruden even admitted Morris struggles there during a time when most coaches are fluffing up their players.

I could be wrong here, but at the point he gets drafted there's still plenty of other valuable players on the board that the opportunity cost for not drafting Morris is minimal even if he does wind up panning out.

Instead of going for a limp wristed jab, how about you add some insight as to why these predictions are right/wrong?

Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I didn't get past the "Soulflydamus" title. After your many failed "prognostications" and your unrelenting stance on Gordon, even if the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, I don't really have much interest in your current or future epiphanies regarding FF. I came in here mainly to see the ensuing train wreck that this thread will ultimately result in.

There are a number of folks around here that post their predictions and analysis for the upcoming season that I enjoy to read. However, the majority of those folks have established a level of credibility around here which you haven't. Until you've actually got a couple of wins under your belt, you might want to just sit back and browse, instead of busting out your "ballsy calls" in its own thread.

ETA - I'm out; carry on with your Tom-Foolery.

Your Cam call isn't against the grain or ballsy--his ADP has been tumbling. And Cam's injuries won't matter in a couple weeks, potentially, so I'd need more than "he's hurt today" to lower my rushing projections.

Zero chance Morris finishes top 5 in PPR formats. He wasn't close to top 5 PPG in 2012 with 335 carries at a 4.78 YPC. He wouldn't have been top 5 with a 5 YPC mark. How much better than 5 YPC are you projecting for him?

Your Amaro call is simply for attention.

What's the lowest Cam has finished at QB since he entered the league? Putting him outside the top15 isnt ballsy? Ok

As for morris, I never mentioned PPR, and hed obviously be a downgrade in that format. But nonPPR, i got him top 5

As for Amaro... Yep, it's ballsy. But why cant he finish top 10? How is that so out of the realm of possibility? Looks to have a great connection w an ever improving Geno, on what is their best offense in years.

Do you know how many TEs in NFL history have ever had double digit TDs in a single season? How about as rookies?
And?

I see him as a huge RZ target. Doesn't mean Im marking him down for 10, but can see him owning the RZ and potentially nearing it. Dont think he'll be a yardage monster by any means... But a RZ monster, yes

 
Harsh, people...harsh.

You may not agree with what he wrote or like his jokes, but he had the best intentions.

No worries man.. This forum has been chalk full of non excellence for ages now.

You're projecting the best rookie season for a TE in history, statistically. If you realize that--that's a lot of hyperbole.

Well, he set records in college.. may as well continue.

 
Hey, we love juicing over Kelvin Benjamin's red zone prowess due to his measureables....

uhhh, Amaro is basically a clone, w more weight and a better vertical, despite 7/8" shorter arms and the added weight.

Except Benjamin played in a pro style offense at Florida State while Amaro came from a spread system and has reportedly struggled grasping NFL concepts and blocking responsibilities.

Not saying you're wrong, but I'd put the odds firmly against Amaro being a break out rookie TE when he struggled the entire preseason.

Today, I present to you my finalized ballsy callsy report.

Avoid!

Disagreed. I expect a Top 10 finish from Cam. If he can come in as a Rookie and do what he needs to do to get the job done, he can overcome a little ankle issue. He's a mobile Ben Roethlisberger and has the upside to turn in 10+ rushing scores. Somehow people think that this current receiving core is a downgrade from last year. Steve Smith at this stage of his career is a worse receiver than Kelvin Benjamin. Benjamin is a much better RZ target.

Running Back

Alfred Morris - Jackson and Garcon and Reed, oh my! Who cares? All that does is open up the running game for the most underrated rusher in the NFL. Just look at how many yards he's put up in the last 2 seasons... LOOK AT IT. Yes, you read that correctly... 2888yds. Yes, 1444yds per season. Oh, and 20 TDs...

Morris will be running through gaps as wide as the ones between Strahan's front teeth. Top 5 fantasy finish.

There's no arguing with this one, who else is going to see carries and be as effective as Alfred Morris? You could argue that he was a Shannahan guy but at the end of the day there is nobody on the team that is screaming for carries. I definitely see a Top 10 finish but think he finishes outside of the Top 5.

Wide Receiver

Mike Evans - When I think Evans, I think McCown... When I think McCown, I think Alshon. When I think Alshon I think "boy, did McCown love him"...

So how much will McCown love him a bigger (by 2"), badder (by nearly 20pnds) and available (2" arm length advantage) version?? a whole frigging lot.

McCown made Alshon a star last year... Yes, I said it... While Cutler has his sites locked on Marshall, McCown took full advantage of his "other" receiver who was more open, and working v weaker coverage. That'll continue this season, as he makes Evans his no1 target, and he goes on to not only finish ABOVE VJax in fantasy stats, but goes on to an easy top 15 finish for WRs in 2014.

Get yourself some.

From watching this guy in preseason, I can tell you that he's the real deal. My current predictament is that if you think both him and Vincent Jackson are going to produce, then you've got to bump McCown himself. I can't forecast McCown throwing 10 TDs to Vincent Jackson and 8 more to Evans, what's he going to end up with 25+ Touchdowns on the year? I don't know if I buy that, especially with Doug Martin on the field on a team lead my Lovie Smith.

I do think his yardage totals will be somewhere in the 1,100 yard range though. I've got at 800 - 1,100 / 6 - 7 Touchdowns.

Tight End

Jace Amaro - Avoid all jets? No. Go against the grain, young man. There is bounty aplenty on the dark side... What is known as a fantasy wasteland over in NY, will help win some folks a championship this season.

Amaro was a camp "bust" according to knobheaded NY journos, who wouldnt know the difference between rupaul and kate upton. Is he raw? Sure. But is he big, bad and a target monster for Geno? hells yes.

Decker and Cj2K keep defenses honest (and also get a whole lotta stats) and Amaro reaps the rewards... and hopefully you will too, with this season's version of Julius Thomas.

Disagreed, Amaro isn't even on my draft board and I think Ebron himself has a better season than Amaro if we're looking for Rookie TE.
