...that old WR's are worth investing in. Once these guys decline there is no coming back. (Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne, Larry Fitzgerald)
The WR position is now a young person's game. Remember when WR's didn't break out until year 3? Now we have rookies and second year WR's making major impacts.

Patterson was the biggest swing and miss. Sankey as well, thought he'd atleast be startable.
Honestly not much if you exclude injuries. Harvin and Welker have been the worst calls, but there's time left and new hope. Not cutting everyone of Coach Oats' Hawks calls probably qualifies.
My biggest issue this year has been letting this board move me off of guys like Tre Mason. I'm not talking trash here as usually the consensus around here is pretty good, just seemed to be off the mark this year which was an outlier.

I know guys like Patterson breakout, but if you try to stick with guys with top caliber QBs, you'll be better off in the end.

Keenan Allen was rated quite highly here at our beloved FBGuys pre season. Congrats Peyton!!!
Not sure why. Last year he caught a lot of good luck, which I benefitted from.

I thought MJD was a great buy as a RB3/flex.
I thought Percy Harvin, if he stayed healthy, would be a PPR beast.

Same here.Nailed Murray, Wilson and Julius. Avoided Ball, Peterson, Rice and Harvin.
There were a few freak injuries that nobody could have predicted so I'm not going to ding myself too hard for having a 2nd-round grade on Calvin.

This was one of mine, thought Cordarelle was probably gonna be good and if he busted Jennings would be a top 20ish WR.

I was convinced Justin Hunter was this year's end of draft steal.

I overestimated:
Patterson
Harvin
Jordan Cameron
Sankey
Ahmad Bradshaw
Joique Bell
I underestimated:
Jordy Nelson (thought ball would be spread around more)
Philip Rivers (thought he would split his good games with terrible INT-riddled games)
Steve Smith Jr. (though I suspect everyone did)
T.Y. Hilton (seems to be finding his consistency)
Julian Edelman
Kelvin Benjamin
Nailed:
DeMarco Muurray
Arian Foster
Tony Romo (solid every week starter)

Keenan Allen being a legit #2 WR and Can Newton being a top 5 QB. I am getting a lot right this year but those two players are the most frustrating to me so far. Oh, and the whole Ray Rice debacle.

Rivers has never tuned into one WR.
You may end up being right on Cam going forward. Ankle was a huge issue and know locally if not nationally. I think you'll get the finish you want.
You really can't call Rice a miss. Based on what we're seeing in Balt he would have been huge. Bad break on the video going viral.

Sorta like he seems more like an outlier, no? And don't look now, but two of his last 3 games have been duds. He's also lived a bit of a charmed life this season, catching tipped, balls, etc. Don't get me wrong, great player and glad to see him succeed. But I don't think his example disproves my general point that aging WR's don't seem to be a good bet anymore in today's NFL.

This is fair but Norv's offense put up good passing stats last year with even worse QBs...often possible to sustain one fantasy receiver with bad to mediocre QB play.
I think you're looking at the case of an exception to the rule standing out. "That Guy" jumps out after the fact in the stats, but when you look at the population as a whole you see a lot of laggers. This is going to sound stupid and simplistic, but I;ve come to realize identify good offense and getting players off those teams is the easiest route to good ff seasons.

Missed on Patterson. I went from thinking even if he doesn't break out this year he should progress into a nice WR3 with upside to thinking he's going to be a KR only in 2 years. He looks nothing like a WR running routes. Total bust with bleak future because he's shown absolutely no improvement.
Missed on Cooks too. Thought he was a good/great WR playing with an elite QB. Looks like he can't beat anybody deep.
Missed on Kendall Wright. I still like Wright but his QB Locker is hot Aids.
Missed on Ladarius Green too. There not close to featuring him. Love the talent but he might have to go to another team before he does anything.

Curious as to why so we can avoid this mistake in the future. Career backup that did garner much fill in time moving to a bad team.

Did you think Foster was done of did you buy into the group think stone rolling downhill?
Overrating his league leading YPC or YAC, whatever it was. On his league leading least amount of carries for any starter. Really not sure what anyone saw in him.
