The Top 10 players that will make the biggest jump in value for their owners in 2013.
http://itun.es/i6jN7Ck



10. AJ Jenkins
He wasn't drafted or a Free Agent signing but the 49ers lost Crabtree and D. Walker. Crabtree was going to pull the #1 DBs and maybe open up the coverage for Boldin, but now Boldin will be the main guy and open up the coverage for Jenkins. Jenkins was a high draft pick who has all the physical skills.

9. Dustin Keller
If you're a receiving TE and want to be fantasy relevant, you have to have an offense that's actually committed to throwing the ball. The Jets are a run first team with horrible QB play. M. Wallace and B. Hartline will stretch the field and open up the middle of the field, and Tannehill is developing well. Even in NY Keller was fairly productive, the team was just horrible.

8. Danny Woodhead
Woodhead will be especially productive in PPR leagues. He can do it all. Run, catch and most importantly keep Rivers upright. They were hoping Ryan Matthews would step up after LT moved on, but it looks like this offense needs two guys to fill his void. Woodhead will fill the Darren Sproles role and Matthews will get the other have of the carries. Matthews' injury history makes Woodhead a lock to have a few games all to himself this season.

7. Reggie Bush
He could be the #2 receiver on this team. Reggie Bush couldn't ask for a better situation. He'll be a 3 down back and only be spelled periodically for a rest. I wouldn't be shocked to see Bush end the season with over 80 receptions.

6. Le'Veon Bell
The only rookie to make this list, Bell has the clearest path to the starting job. He's versatile and can be in on all 3 downs. Big but shifty and has very soft hands. He may not have breakaway speed but he'll get you the first downs and move the chains.

5. Wes Welker
The biggest "no brainer" on this ist. He's a catching machine and Denver doesn't have much at TE to take away receptions from his underneath receptions. Rarely does a WR go from one HOF QB to another.

5. Percey Harvin
If you're in a league where you receive points for combined, or all-purpose yards, Harvin will be huge. He's going to be used all over the field. Look for Pete Carroll to use Harvin like he used Reggie Bush at USC

3. Steven Jackson.
A giant upgrade at RB for Atlanta. Jackson offers the versatility that Turner and Rodgers never had. When Turner was in the game, he was running the ball. Defenses will now have to worry about Atlanta's crazy passing game, while now worrying about Jackson either running the ball or swinging out for a pass. The Atlanta offense just got scarier.

2. Carson Palmer.
One of the biggest signing in the offseason was Palmer to Arizona. A. Roberts will have better numbers, theRunning Backs will look better, and Fitz just jumped up to the top of the WR board with the signing of Palmer. Palmer slings the ball, and the new Head Coach loves to call passing plays. Even in Oakland, Palmer put up big numbers and his receiving optons weren't half as good as he has now.

1. Alex Smith
Yes Alex Smith the Quarterback. Smith is surrounded by a team of studs. Great o-line, stud RB, top tier receiving options, and the best offensive minds in football, with Andy Reid. Reid will set Smith up with a great playbook that fits his skill set perfectly. Reid is a pass first coach that asks his QBs to make short, high percentage passes, moving the ball down the field. It's all lining up for a big season for Alex.

I agree with Bush, Palmer and maybe a couple others. I personally see Welker taking a hit in production, Manning likes to throw to Wr'ers so the lack of a beastly TE won't make a huge difference, he has 2 very good wr'ers both better than Welker at this point in their careers. I also don't think a rookie should be on the list as no owner's had them last year to see a bump this year.

Percy was injured a lot last year so if he is healthy all year a bump is kind of expected.

Not saying this is a top 10 list, but some guys guys I think will be nice to own for the 2013 season compared to 2012:

Fitz & Floyd - Palmer makes them better immediately.

Chris Ivory - Now a starter, if he can stay healthy will reward loyal owners.

DHB - Luck has the gun, if this guy can catch the ball his numbers will be solid.

Mendenhall - Injured and living in the doghouse, he should be solid this year, but definitely not spectacular.

Brown & Sanders - both get a bump this year, I think Sanders increase will be more dramatic by comparison, but both will be better.

Lamar Miller - now starting will see a huge improvement this year. *No brainers can be included in my list.

Vincent Brown - he should be money this year, if he is not a day 1 starter, it won't be long before Floyd or Danario or both are hurt.

McFadden - 700 yard and an impressive 3.3 YPC, as sucky as I think the Raiders will be, he will be better. Way to explosive to suck that bad again.

Bradford - I don't think he sucks, I think his O-line and everyone not named Jackson sucked last year. He will be better.

Rice - If he stays healthy again, playing with an exciting young QB he should be vastly better than his pedestrian stats from last year. * Seems like Rice has been playing forever and he is only 26.

Bush - He is explosive, I see Bush having a huge year if he stays healthy.

Nelson - Jordy was dinged much of last year and no Jennings, I think he will be money again.

Garcon - All year with RG3 he should have a great season.

I am sure there are guys I am not thinking of that will bounce back or just be better this year. Hopefully no one poops a better list, but anything is possible I guess.

 
in no order:

David Wilson

Doug Martin

K. Britt

L. Fitzgerald

J. Edelman - if he can stay healthy, with the chaos at TE , NE will need other options besides Amendola.

James Jones

D. Richardson

L. Miller

P. Rivers

B. Tate - I know, another attempt to discredit Foster...being in the top 5 three years in a row is tough, four years in a row is extremely unlikely, IMO..something has to give..

D. Williams - offseason ankle surgeries for J. Stewart, and the fact that he won't be ready for the start of training camp, leaves me somewhat bullish on Williams, even if its only for the first part of the season..

 
I'm just curious what you're projecting for Wes Welker. For him to be the fifth biggest jump in value, coming off 118/1354/6, he's pretty much going to have to rewrite the record books, no?

I think the OP believes that Welker's value has declined too much from last year now that he's in crowded Denver - at least I think that's where the OP is coming from.

#1 - T Y Hilton
I like this pick as well. As long as the new OC continues the trend of throwing the ball a ton, Hilton could have a very nice season. Now is the time to grab him, cus if he has a big season, he'll go early in 2014 drafts

i thilnk it is david martin and none of hte guys who are going to new teams should count they are not making a jump in value for there teams they are just new guys on a new team who add value big difference in my opinion

Hey brohan, you would be right if we were talking about NFL value for the team, but we are talking about Fantasy Football owners getting more value out of players, at least I was. :-)

 
Le'Veon Bell and Reggie Bush are two RBs I think are going to outperform their ADP by a good bit. Will be targeting these guys.

all about fantasy value. These are guys who will be Boom picks for their fantasy owners because of a Free Agent move or draft selection

That is possible. Really don't see him exceeding last years production, but he could well exceed his current value.

Bush is high on everyone's list. For good reason.

Mendenhall should exceed his ADP unless it has risen.

I like Tannehill a lot, he can be the #2 in a QBBC and could perform as a low #1

 
QB:

Carson Palmer – Palmer still has something left in the tank, and he will be working with considerably better talent at the wide receiver position this season. I look for a solid season from Palmer.

Alex Smith – Smith returns to a starter’s role, and he has some significant talent around him to work with. Considering his value had bottomed out last season, Smith makes a big jump.

Philip Rivers – Rivers’ value is at an all-time low right now. While I am not excited about the talent at WR for the Chargers, I do expect a decent bounce-back season for Rivers.

RB:

Chris Ivory – Ivory moves to a starter role, and although I am not greatly enamored with the NYJ run offense, Ivory has the skill set to excel in this role IF he can stay healthy. Don't lose sight of Goodson if you draft Ivory, however.

David Wilson – Wilson already had good value, but as starter from day one, I like Wilson to develop into elite status.

Lamar Miller – With Bush having departed for greener pastures, Miller steps into the starter’s role in Miami, and most are expecting big things from him. Miller’s numbers should easily eclipse last season, although with all the hype surrounding him at the moment, he will not come cheaply.

Ryan Mathews – Mathews has nowhere to go but up for fantasy owners this season coming off of his injury-marred 2012. The presence of Danny Woodhead casts some doubt upon Mathews’ role as an every-down back, but spelling Mathews on obvious passing downs could prolong his season.

Mark Ingram – I keep expecting Ingram to break out, and perhaps this is finally the season. Even with Ivory’s departure from New Orleans, there is an embarrassment of riches in the Saints’ backfield. I believe Ingram has the talent to carve out a more significant role in a very prolific offense, but Sproles and Thomas are also extremely talented backs.

Shane Vereen – Vereen’s value was already on the rise prior to the Hernandez debacle, and now most expect an even larger role for Vereen. Vereen is just oozing with talent; his biggest drawback has been limited touches. If Vereen can stay on the field, look for his value to skyrocket, especially in PPR leagues.

WR:

Anquan Boldin – With the injury to Crabtree, Boldin will likely emerge as the #1 wideout for Kaepernick. I like Boldin to exceed most owners’ expectations this season.

AJ Jenkins – Jenkins has fallen off most owners’ fantasy radars, so it will not take much to increase his value, but the real question is, “can Jenkins become fantasy relevant with the absence of Crabtree?” I like the opportunity in front of Jenkins, and while I believe he was drafted too high by the Niners, Jenkins does have the talent to become a decent pro wideout.

Vincent Brown – Most astute fantasy owners have been awaiting Brown’s emergence, and he has the opportunity to start from day 1. Brown reportedly has good skills and physical traits, and there is little standing in his way from emerging. I am not expecting him to be much more than a flex play or bye-week fill in, but he does have some upside.

Danny Amendola – Amendola has been touted as a Welker clone since coming into the league, and now he will have the opportunity to fill Welker's shoes. While Amendola is tough as nails, I worry whether his body can cash the checks his courage writes.

Pierre Garcon – Garcon flashed tremendous potential in this offense before his 2012 season was prematurely truncated. I expect RGIII and Garcon to develop on what they flashed to open 2012.

Michael Floyd – Floyd got off to a slow rookie campaign, but finished the season strong with an 8 reception, 166 yard and a TD effort. That may have been a glimpse of what is yet to come from the talented Notre Dame product. Carson Palmer is an upgrade at the QB position, and I like Floyd to emerge as a viable WR2 with upside in 2013.

Kenny Britt – Britt has flashed huge potential, but injuries and off-field issues have stunted his development. There is still hope Britt will turn things around, and being a year further removed from injury should help. His ADP represents tremendous potential value, and he should easily exceed his 2012 numbers.

Santonio Holmes – Holmes is nearly off the radar for most fantasy owners, but he still has the talent to be a solid WR2. It is difficult to get excited about the NYJ offense, but a healthy Holmes should bounce back decently and certainly represents value.

Denarius Moore – I was disappointed by Moore last season, and it is difficult to have much optimism with the Raiders’ change at QB. Moore certainly has the talent to bounce back, just don’t expect too much this season.

TE:

Dustin Keller – Keller has great athletic ability, and I expect he will be a good fit in the up-tempo offense Miami is developing. A healthy Keller will have no problem exceeding his injury-plagued 2012 numbers.

Jared Cook – Cook has been a perennial fantasy tease. Perhaps a change of scenery will do Cook some good. St. Louis is building what could be a powerful offense, so this could finally be the season Cook lives up to his immense potential.

Fred Davis – Coming off of an injury-shortened season, Davis should exceed most owners’ expectations. Davis is a solid TE2 who could even crack the top 10 at his position.

Jordan Cameron – Cameron joins a growing list of former basketball players turned Tight End. He has the physical traits to excel, and all the press has been positive. Owners are not heavily invested in Cameron, so a 15-20 finish among TE’s would represent value, and that is about where I have him.

Rob Housler – Housler has some upside in the Arizona offense, and he can be had for pennies.

James Casey – I was excited about Casey when he came into the league, but his versatile skills were never fully utilized by Houston. Look for Chip Kelly to move Casey all over the offense, using him similar to how Aaron Hernandez was used in New England.
