thinking about next year-dynasty (1 Viewer)

How do you think WRs like S Williams AZ, and Danario Alexander STL will compare to the young guns coming out next year? (Green, Jones and Blackmon)

I'm just trying to level set my expectations going after the previous guys on teh cheap vs paying the price to get the latter. What do you guys think?

Let's try this again. I get that it is very difficult to predict how next year's rookies will perform for many reasons, not the least we have no idea where they end up. Ok let's forget about them and just try to analyze and predict how THIS year's crop of rookie WRs will do in their 2nd year. I think it's safe to say that guys like Dez Bryant and Mike Williams will continue to build on their impressive campaigns and won't come cheap in trade anyway. I'd like to focus on some of the other guys. I'll throw a few out and I'd like to generate a discussion on these and other guys to.

Danario Alexander : Probably the guy that I'm most interested in personally since he's on my team. Bradford throwing the rock is a huge plus. I love the divsion he's in. I'm concerned that there are plenty of other options at WR and I've even seen some draftniks projecting STL taking a WR fairly early which I think would be a huge waste with so many other pressing needs. He can become the deep threat and #1 target and I could see 80-1100-8TDs

Dorin Dickerson is a guy who intrigues me just because he backs up Andre Johnson and has similar body type and speed. He hasn't seen the field all year so I've been slowly losing hope. I'm not sure if he could be the #2 or if he only backs up Johnson. That offense really slings it and he could be beneficiary.

Stephen Williams, AZ, they really need a QB their or I can't see him fulfilling his promise. I like him to take over the #2 spot as early as next year.

Any thoughts about these guys? How about guys others?

Rather than addressing your question with actual names, I'll approach it more from a philosopical POV. I play in a 10-team dynasty with two developmental slots for rookies, which can occupy those spots for two seasons. Historically (speaking only for myself in this particular league), I've had my best success by farming former 2nd-5th round WR talent off the waiver in years 2-4 of their career after the owner who originally drafted them finally gives up. Your mention of Danario Alexander is a perfect example of this.

Obviously, 1st round talent is a whole other discussion (the Crabtree's and Dez Bryant's) of the world. But if you're asking me if I'd rather draft a non-top 3 WR from any given rookie class in dynasty or pick through the WW of former WR's of that ilk, who have been dropped by the fantasy owner that originally drafted them? I've had MUCH more success with the latter.

Regarding non first round NFL talent at WR, my motto has always been, "Be the second team to own him".
