Which player's projections are you (1 Viewer)

[KCC]

For those of you who do your own projections (and I'm hoping that's most of you), which player's numbers are giving you the biggest headache? For me, the winner is Matt Jones. Too many questions around the J-Ville WRs. I would probably worry less if not for Jone's potential upside.

Chester Taylor has me kinda worried

Who will be scoring TDs for Arizona has me baffled. Looks like another field-goal fest for Rackers.

Edge, Boldin, and Fitz. There's 32-35 right there.

Julius Jones/Barber is a situation I hope clears up before my draft in late August.

I don't do projections, but DeShaun Foster is a toughie. He could finish anywhere from top 10 to total flop.

I think Deshaun's are fairly straightforward, its just a question of knowing how many games to project for.

Zero risk of a more talented RB joining the fray?

There are some other factors though. - If Foster keeps the starting job (and I think he does), how many touches does Williams get?

- If Foster keeps the starting job, does Williams or Shelton vulture goal line carries?

If Foster wins the job outright, stays healthy, gets the overwhelming majority of the carries, and gets the goal line work then he could be a top 8 back. However, it's very difficult to project those variables.

When the Panthers acquire a more talented runner than Foster, I will reevaluate this.

I think you'll see Williams worked in the same way DeShaun was when SD was still healthy. 5-7 touches a game, probably will return kicks.Williams isnt going to take goal-line carries from the much larger Foster. Shelton would be more of a threat to do so, but lets see the Panthers talk about even having him active on gameday before we start evaluating that risk.

That's funny.

I'll just list my WRs, as I've conflicted on every one of them.

Ward, Roy, MJones, Evans, Reggie Brown, Braylon (I'd add Jennings, but I'm not conflicted, I don't expect much)

 

[DawnBTVS]

Billy Volek/Vince Young for me. It's more a matter of how many games each will play than the stats they'll put up but the stats also bounce off the games played so...

Whats funny is seeing DeAngelo going in the 5th-6th round in redrafts. Now THATS funny. Gotta love rookie hype for a coach that rarely gives large roles to rookies.

Dom Davis

 

[JayMan]

It has to be Carson Palmer...

He's my only QB in a salary cap [DYNASTY] league... where the QBs salaries are out of this world... and we are only allowed 3 moves all year long...

With that setup - I definitely need to know if he's ready from the get-go... or if I need to "waste" a draft pick on Charlie Frye (salary equal to Reuben Droughns for comparison)...

I need all the info I can get on him...

Edge, Boldin, and Fitz. There's 32-35 right there.

I am worried about a guy who averages 2 rushing TDs every 3 games being paired with a QB who has averaged under a TD per game (.94) the past two seasons.Now, I am sure the yards will be there:

Edge - averaging 1536 yards per 16 games for his career.

Warner - averaging 312 yards per full game last year. (factoring in Edge's carries, we get about 80% of that x16 games = 3989 yards)

But the fact that neither likes the endzone has me worried.

Hate on Josh McCown all you like, but in his full games, he averaged 1.5 TDs per game (right on par with the good QBs in the league).

I also think Arizona's defense will be better this season, so they won't need to score as many points, and I also see this as a problem.

Like I said, who's going to be scoring TDs for AZ has me baffled. I don't know how they can win games by scoring 30 TDs and 40 FGs in a year. That's under 20 ppg.

Guess I'll just have to sit back and wait for Leinart in '07.

Surprised nobody mentioned Kevin Jones.

-Calhoun on board, Martz on Board, injury concerns.

-If stars align, could be damn good value.

How about Addai/Rhodes?? This situation is as unclear as any out there as far as Im concerned.

 

[inca911]

I'm currently trying to project Javon Walker and Rod Smith. I'm currently debating whether Rod will have more TDs with Walker in the mix. Rod's good in the red zone, and I think fewer double teams could help Smith score more. Is Rod an 80 catch, 1000 yard, 8TD guy? Or will Walker compete and drop Rod down to 68 catches, 900 yards, with 5 TDs?

We'll just agree to disagree on this one but I think some kind of risk factor should account for Williams' ability to flat out win the starting job from Foster. I believe Williams IS a rare talent.

That is a good one. Honestly, if things go 50/50 between the 2 they both could end up outside of the Top 25 RBs. I can't put my finger on this one. I think Addai's playing time will depend greatly on how fast he can pick up the pass blocking schemes. I have no idea how to rank either of these guys. Currently I have them Ranked 31 and 32 respectively among the RBs. That sounds crazy to me, but like I said if they split 50/50...

 

[MLBrandow]

Very complex and difficult offense to pick up. Most of the plays/formations he'll be forcefed early to get him on the field will be passing plays where he's asked to block.Addai is a much better pass blocker

Addai is a better receiver.

Rhodes is the incumbent and will put up solid numbers against six man fronts.

Rhodes will start early and often, and Addai won't get any relevant PT beyond 3rd down back until very late in the season or next season.

He will start for sure in '07 though.

Time to reevaluate then...
