Top 5 by position predictions (1 Viewer)

[pollardsvision]

23% of the fantasy regular season is almost in the books. It's still early, but clearly we've seen enough to be able to spot most of the trends.

Seems like an interesting time to predict.

So, if you like, please post who you think will finish the year top 5 at each position (QB, RB, WR, TE). For the whole year, not just from week 4-17, so current stats apply.

Scoring: Basic PPR and 4pt passing TDs. FBG Prelim PPR YTD Stats to be the official scoring.

Based on total points, not per game.

Contest Scoring:

QB/TE: 2 point for a player in the top 5. Bonus point for slotting correctly (3 points total).

RB/WR: 3 points for a player in the top 5. Bonus point for slotting correctly (4 points total)

Feel free to adjust your predictions anytime before the Week 4 kick-off on Thursday night.

Winner gets a cookie.

Wow, Lynch as #1 in PPR scoring. That's going out on a limb.

Here's my predictions...

QB

1. Aaron Rodgers

2. Matt Ryan

3. RGIII

4. Drew Brees

5. Tom Brady

RB

1. Arian Foster

2. CJ Spiller (think he'll be back in two weeks)

3. Darren Mcfadden

4. Ray Rice

5. Lesean McCoy

WR

1. Percy Harvin

2. Calvin Johnson

3. Brandon Marshall

4. Julio Jones

5. AJ Green

TE

1. Jimmy Graham

2. Vernon Davis

3. Rob Gronkowski

4. Tony Gonzalez

5. Martellus Bennett (I think his start is legit)

 

[Soulfly3]

Julio Jones and Hakeem Nicks will both be top 5. Even w Nicks' missed game, he's pure beaster.

I don't think that injury is going away at all this year.

Yeah, I might've gotten carried away there.I think he can catch enough passes to have a shot, but 4 games against ARI and SF and never having played 16 games probably makes that an unwise call. I like Bennett too. Narrowing the TE's down to 5 is very difficult.

I'm a huge Lynch fan, and own him all over the place, so I hope you're right with your prediction! I do think he has a shot at the top 5, but I think his limited catches keep him away from #1.

Looks like we both might get a 50/50 shot at the grand prize.

Template for those who wish to use it. I enjoyed this a lot from last season, whoever did it kept track and it was for the top 10 of each position every week, it got intense but died out around week 10.

Bumping to see how opinions have changed. One clear change I would see is that Pitta and Bennett made many lists as top 5 TE's here. Obviously that's not near as likely now. Also interested to see new thoughts on QB's and WR's. It's really hard to nail down a top 5 at RB right now and QB is pretty interesting as well.

I didn't think Gonzo could continue, and im still not sure he can, but im much less convinced now than I was.Also Flacco is exactly who I thought he was and I think Pitta is gonna be hard pressed to finish inside the top 10 TEs this year. I was silly to think that Flacco has changed at all. I still think Bennett can finish top 5 though.
