What are your unpopular 2009 fantasy football opinions? (1 Viewer)

[whitem0nkey]

for me its Kevin Jones will take away from Forte more than people think.

I can see the bears having some larger leads than last year in the 4th and giving more garbage time to Jones. He is young, 27 and 2 years removed from an injury. The Lions did not use him properly, they gave up on the run way to soon during a lot of games. I can see Jones geting 400 rushing and 100 receiving and 2-4 TDs.

 

[Sweetness_34]

Mine is:

Calvin Johnson will not live up to the ADP and hype he is receiving. Once Stafford gets in there, which should happen by the 4th game if not sooner, I expect teams to completely lock down on CJ and expect others to beat them and make Stafford make reads to his 2nd and 3rd options.

 

[Masked Vigilante]

Reggie Bush will significantly outscore Pierre Thomas.

 

[mlball77]

Matt Ryan might not be the second coming of Peyton Manning (in FF) and his passing numbers this year may stay relatively flat or regress slightly.

 

[crowe1130]

Dwayne Bowe will underwhelm. New coach, new QB, bad o-line, murderous schedule to start the season.

 

[gianmarco]

1. Warner has a very reasonable chance to play 14+ games this year

2. Very few rookies are going to perform well their rookie year unlike last year

3. Donald Brown is going to end up the #1 RB from this year's class.

 

[dirty_martini]

Reggie Bush will significantly outscore Pierre Thomas.

I was actually coming here to Post:The common boast in December will be "I grabbed Reggie in the ...."

 

[hook014]

1. Warner has a very reasonable chance to play 14+ games this year2. Very few rookies are going to perform well their rookie year unlike last year3. Donald Brown is going to end up the #1 RB from this year's class.

Regarding #3. Do you mean this season? Or just in the future?

 

[Jewell]

Felix Jones will have more yards from scrimmage than Marion Barber.

Both?

 

[Todem]

McGahee overtakes Ray Rice during the regualr season as The Ravens starter.

 

[SugarNuts]

Roy Williams numbers are much better than the 60-900-7 (average) that people seem to expect from him.

FWIW, I predict:

70 - 1100 - 9

 

[Dancing Bear]

The lighter, healthy Daunte Culpepper returns to 2004 form and leads Detroit into the playoffs [stafford sits the whole season!]!

 

[kneeshooter]

Larry Johnson will finish in the Top Ten.

 

[gianmarco]

Roy Williams numbers are much better than the 60-900-7 (average) that people seem to expect from him. FWIW, I predict:70 - 1100 - 9

Actually, I think your predictions are more of the popular opinion.

 

[FantasyTrader]

Neither Kurt Warner nor Brett Favre will be their team's leading passer this year.

Trent Edwards will be a top 7 fantasy QB.

 

[DrJamesAndrews Fan]

Timmmaaaayyyyyy Hightower will be the lead RB over Beaner and do quite well this year. Excellent value at his current ADP

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Roy Williams numbers are much better than the 60-900-7 (average) that people seem to expect from him. FWIW, I predict:70 - 1100 - 9

Fail

 

[JuSt CuZ]

1. Marques Colston will put up top 3 WR numbers 85/1400/12

2. That Antonio Bryant sux

3. Ray Rice will finish in the top 5 in RB scoring this year

at least the 2nd one is for sure!

 

[Max Power]

Tom Brady will repeat his 2007 numbers

 

[JT10]

Timmmaaaayyyyyy Hightower will be the lead RB over Beaner and do quite well this year. Excellent value at his current ADP

You just took mine! I predict Hightower will be a top-15 RB with a legitimate shot at top-10.Julius Jones will be a top-20 RB and Chris Henry will be a top-15 WR.

 

[Jewell]

Tom Brady will repeat his 2007 numbers

I like this Max Power guy.

 

[JuSt CuZ]

The lighter, healthy Daunte Culpepper returns to 2004 form and leads Detroit into the playoffs [stafford sits the whole season!]!

I want what ur on!

 

[stuckinthemuck]

Drew Brees will get injured for 4-6 games and ruin a lot of owner's seasons.

Matt Forte will have a 3.8 YPC...again...with fewer carries. See Kevin Jones comment above.

Antonio Gates has his best year ever.

Anthony Gonzalez outperforms Reggie Wayne.

Eagles fans are chanting Brian Brohm's name by week 13 after spectacular letdowns by McNabb and Vick.

Michael Crabtree sits out the whole season and gets drafted mid-first round 2010.

 

[Raider Nation]

Eagles fans are chanting Brian Brohm's name by week 13 after spectacular letdowns by McNabb and Vick.

Will he hear them from Green Bay?

 

[Steel Dillo]

Eagles fans are chanting Brian Brohm's name by week 13 after spectacular letdowns by McNabb and Vick.

Did the Eagles trade Kolb for Brohm?

 

[pollardsvision]

Joseph Addai is this year's Deangelo Williams.

 

[Masked Vigilante]

Kevin Kolb and Brian Brohm switch teams and nobody notices until Week 13

 

[njherdfan]

Dustin Keller ends up as a top 5 fantasy TE

 

[gianmarco]

Roy Williams numbers are much better than the 60-900-7 (average) that people seem to expect from him.

FWIW, I predict:

70 - 1100 - 9

Actually, I think your predictions are more of the popular opinion.

Fail

Fail?Here is his player spotlight thread

There are far more people predicting #"s like 70/1100/9 than there are predicting 60/900/7 if I'm not mistaken. So how is that a fail? The UNPOPULAR opinion is the 60/900/7 line of thinking. I happen to be on that UNPOPULAR side. I've been on that side for quite a while, actually.

 

[Wrigley]

LT is not done

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Joseph Addai is this year's Deangelo Williams.

This has to win for most unpopular. This equals a prediction of cauliflower over bacon.

 

[Red Eyed and Blue]

1. Robert Meachem lives up to his first round draft status of 2007 and becomes a fantasy force, especially for teams that count player's return yards.

2. Matthew Stafford never sees the field of play this year. Lions win 8 games.

3. Chris Cooley leads his team in receiving yards.

4. Rashard Mendenhall proves his skeptics wrong and leads the Steelers in rushing yards.

5. Houston makes the playoffs. Dallas does not.

6. The Farve experiment in Minnesota will be an abject failure. Start your NFC Central defenses against Minn.

7. Santonio Holmes explodes this year and finishes as a top 10 WR.

8. Lee Evans outperforms Terrell Owens by a wide margin.

9. Vince Young relieves Kerry Collins, does well, but the Titans miss the playoffs.

10. Philip Rivers wins the NFL MVP award this year. Chargers win the Super Bowl.

 

[Red Eyed and Blue]

Joseph Addai is this year's Deangelo Williams.

This has to win for most unpopular. This equals a prediction of cauliflower over bacon.

 

[PatsFanCT]

James Davis is this years Chris Johnson.

 

[Gr00vus]

10. Philip Rivers wins the NFL MVP award this year. Chargers win the Super Bowl.

 

[Instinctive]

I think we need to see gdogg in this thread:

I would take Maurice Drew #1 overall. He's the most talented RB in the league.

Yes, most talented RB in the league.

 

[Nemesis Enforcer]

As others have said Tim Hightower will overwhelmingly outperform Beanie Wells this year

Payton Hillis will end up with the best numbers of the Denver RBs

 

[Raider Nation]

Lions win 8 games.

 

[Max Power]

Philly Fans will scream "Bring in Vick" at some point this season

 

[Franknbeans]

both Turner and Williams will disappoint

and Braylon Edwards will catch more than 10 TD's

 

[FantasyTrader]

LT is not done

This equals bacon over cauliflower. With an ADP of 1.07 - LT not being done is far and away the popular opinion.

 

[Chicago Hooligan]

- Calvin Johnson not a Top 5 WR (non-PPR)

- Owen Daniels has 75 catches, 6 TDs

- TO has a lackluster season, but Edwards, Evans, and Lynch all perform as worthy FF starters

- Ryan Grant and Brandon Jacobs are Top 10 RBs

- MJD and Forte finish outside the Top 5 (at least in non-PPR)

- Percy Harvin = fantasy bust in 2009, only a few startable games

- Antonio Bryant gets 1,000+ yards

- Mason Crosby leads the league in scoring

- Thomas Jones gets 1,200+ total yards

 

[Carver]

Chris Johnson will be the biggest bust of the first round.

 

[twistd]

1.That Michael Turner's numbers will drop significantly from last year.

2.That Peyton Hillis will be the best back in Denver.

3.That the QB pool is much more shallow than we have been led to believe. Palmer, Romo, Warner, and Matt Schaub will all disappoint their owners.

 

[jerseydevil20]

Martellus Bennett will be be a top 10-12 TE

 

[teamramrod]

Lions win 8 games.

<_<

Raider Fan says What?Peace

 

[Raider Nation]

Lions win 8 games.

<_<

Raider Fan says What?Peace

So I have to be a fan of a great team to see that the Lions stink?Peace

 

[Loan Sharks]

#4 QB = Tony Romo

 

[Anonymous Internet User]

The #1 fantasy WR in PPR leagues this season will be T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
