Who are 2012/13's Breakout Players that you can get cheap now (1 Viewer)

[Dentist]

I'm looking for a few picks from fellow FBG's for players who are set to breakout at the end of this year, or more likely next year, that can be had for cheap now.

Who of last year's rookies or maybe even the year before (or the year before that!) are on the verge, yet will be available around the 130th pick or later?

I am allowed to keep a player after the 11th round for 4 years.

Here's a few players I'm identifying.. your thoughts?

QB - colt mccoy, Cam newton

RB - CJ spiller? (he isn't likely to fall that low though)

WR - Greg Little, Crabtree, demaryius thomas, louis murphy

TE - Tony Moeaki

Any other 2012 breakouts?

I'd watch RB Hardesty also, I think he could be available that late and is on the Otis Hawk pick, which is a lock

LOL at Dentist using an alias to bump his own thread.

Ironically before you were married you would have the answers and not be asking the questions.

Do you now see the pillage you have wreaked on yourself?

 

[fantasyplayer]

Here are some I like:

Leshoure

Ponder

Ryan Williams

 

[Touchdown There]

Fred Davis will find a new home in 2012 or be the #1 for the Skins. May be on the waiver wire. Could hit this year if Cooley's knee gets worse.

 

[treat88]

Mike Kafka

Antonio Brown

Eric Decker

Evan Moore

 

[Largent]

not really a breakout WR, but will be expensive next year - like top 5-7 - Plaxico Burress can be had > round 9.

 

[Stealthycat]

QB - cSam Bradford - sky is the limit. Up and coming? Give Fitzpatrick a chance

RB - McGahee, Ridley

WR - D Moore, Gaffney (not breakout but he'll outproduce his ADP) Royal too maybe, MWS in STL|?

TE - try TE Kendricks

3 Ram's players there .........

 

[Ping Pong]

We saw a lot of 2nd year WRs breakout last year (Nicks, Wallace, Maclin, Percy Harvin, Kenny Britt). So, I think some good candidates would be this year's class of 2nd year wideouts, including:

Antonio Brown

Emmanuel Sanders

Dezmon Briscoe

Arrelious Benn

Jacoby Ford

Andre Roberts

Jordan Shipley

Taylor Price

David Gettis

Brandon LaFell

Obviously some of these are better candidates than others, and some already broke out (TB Mike WIlliams and maybe Dez Bryant). But interesting to look at.

I don't know if I would consider Gettis due to his ACL injury... My thoughts would be Titus Young, Torrey Smith, Ben Tate, Alex Green, and Anthony Armstrong.

 

[adrenaline]

Tandon Doss

Evans is signed through next season but I wouldn't be surprised to see him lose the staring job before then. Yes, I like Doss over Smith.

 

[Donnybrook]

Here are some I like:LeshourePonderRyan Williams

Not funny. I had to check and make sure that Ponder hadn't had a season ending injury.

Not trying to be funny. I thought we were talking about players to break out in 2012 and beyond.

They are cheap. Randy Moss is too.

I actually thought about Moss or TO.But I just don't see moss in the league in 4 years.. heck he might not be in it this year... or ever again... and even if he got in, he's probably not going to be top ten.I'm trying to hit a home run on a guy.I did think about Ben Tate as well, that seems like a good name... bad situation though (behind Foster).. BUT could be kind of like Larry Johnson/Priest Holmes/Jamaal Charles... Great line play (let's face it, is Foster really THAT good?) leads to excellent opportunity for a decent talent to succeed.Ben Tate is probably one Foster injury away from being Larry Johnson 2006

 

[Abraham]

Hardesty

 

[southeastjerome]

Not a breakout, but what about Carson Palmer? Dude is only 31 and with all the bad QB situations around the league, you have to figure a QB needy team might bite.

 

[eoMMan]

Yeah, Tate is a good one.

I think Choice or Murray on the Cowboys could be good if given the opportunity somewhere (Choice is on the verge of maybe getting cut).

I would also look at Atlanta and Pittsburgh. Turner and Mendenhall are physical, bruiser runners and I wouldn't be surprised if they are replaced due to injury or ineffectiveness over the next year or two. Atlanta and Pittsburgh will still be good in the coming years. Maybe Isaac Redman is the play here?

 

[Dentist]

I just don't see carson palmer from 31-35 being a top 5 QB.. and if i'm not going to get a guy who has a shot of being drafted in the first 3-4 rounds I don't think it's worth it.

Palmer was a totally different player after that knee injury a few years back. It's a shame.

Hardesty

Taylor Price

Bilal Powell

Antonio Brown

Dez Briscoe

Julius Thomas

yeah, but he probably shagged a ton of hot college chicks at USC and is a multi-millionaire and can retire at 32.... I'd still say he's winning at life.And if he wanted to continue playing for just a couple MIL a year as a backup or something, i'm sure a team would be happy to have him..... But yes, he could've been better without that knee injury... then again, Brady and Marino recovered from serious leg injuries and went on to success... what's wrong with Palmer?

 

[De Novo]

Just going to name the guys I've seen a bunch - Torrey Smith, Roy Helu, Niles Paul, Fred Davis, Ryan Kerrigan as an IDP. There are a bunch of other guys I know of because other people talk about them, but those are the ones I'm very familiar with.

 

[bengalbuck]

I like Cam Newton and Jake Locker as late round QB stashes. Both are big, fast and physical runners who could put up big-time numbers running the ball in the red zone. Depends on league scoring (4 pt. passing TD, 6 pt. rushing TD), but those are guys who could end up being big-time in a few years if they develop into guys who score 8-10 rushing TDs per season.

Any talented young RB could fit the bill and a lot of them have been suggested here already: Tate, Hardesty, Ridley, Vereen, Williams...I'd add guys like Harper in Tenn., Hunter in SF, Murray in Dallas, Green in Green Bay.

At WR, guys like Denarius Moore, Randall Cobb, Jacoby Ford, Titus Young, etc.

At TE, Moeaki, Kendricks, Gresham, J. Thomas and A. Hernandez are guys with big upsides.

If I could pick just a few, my personal picks would be Cam Newton, Stevan Ridley, Kendall Hunter, the 2 Oak. WRs, A. Hernandez and Kendricks at TE.

I think Cobb is a real good choice. Might be Driver's last year and Cobb will slide right in to the same role.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Kafka, Flynn, Fred Davis, and Tamme are guys I am targeting. Plaxico is not a bad choice but he will have to play very well to be worth more next year as a free agent. Another WR on a one-year deal is MSW. He could rebound in StL and be valuable next year whether as a Ram or elsewhere. MSW is forgotten by most. But, the two young QBs and TEs are my main targets.

 

[Donnybrook]

What is Plaxico Buress's ADP?

 

[Dr. No]

what do you guys think about Crabtree here? i mentioned him... is he a consensus bust/bad situation?

so far the names i like best are:

qB - McCoy

RB - ben tate, montario hardesty

WR - Randall Cobb, Denarius Moore, Jerome Simpson

I'm curious why you noted Niles Paul. I added him late on a couple of dynasty rosters and have heard nothing about him except he was hurt a while. What are you seeing that you like from Paul?

 

[HeHateSteve]

I like Plax, Jacoby Ford, Hardesty, Tate, Sims-Walker, Greg Little, and Lee Evans is looking pretty sharp.

Oh and Lance Kendricks and Ridley (keep thinking of people lol)

He's a deep threat, but he runs decent routes, is willing to go over the middle, and catches the ball with his hands. I probably wouldn't draft him this year except in a deep or dynasty league, but I think he has a chance to be really good. He's my 5th or 6th ranked WR in this year's class. Hankerson feels like a classic Redskins WR bust so far, but Paul has shown promise.

 

[gonzobill5]

vince young would be a decent bet. chances of vick getting hurt this year are decent, which means young gets a chance to showcase his talents, which means he could be starting for someone next season. maybe not the home run you are looking for though.

 

[sportsmonkey_j]

Eric Decker - all he does is make plays consistently.

Jacoby Ford - Only consistent QB play is holding him back

Leshoure/Ryan williams - Who wouldnt want Ben Tate on their roster now? I understand they are different injuries, but they are young and may make a comeback. Why not take a chance?

Flynn - He could be next years Kolb

He played for the Cincinnati Bengals?

We were looking for someone that could be a home run, not for someone to run home.

Me. Yes, they are different injuries, and Tate's value is as a handcuff to Foster. I can't justify the roster spot (unless of course I had Foster). Bottom line is that you just don't know how or if they'll recover (see: Robert Edwards, etc), and usually they will have to beat out a better RB upon return. That's far too much risk when there are so many other players with potential out there to stash away.

 

[Dr. No]

ok - so i was wrong about the rules.

you can only keep your 12th round draft pick - that round and that round only - for up to 4 years.

in my 12 man league - i was able to select Ben Tate with the 2nd pick in that round.

in my 10 man league with the same rules - i was able to select CJ Spiller, who wasn't discussed here, but i was shocked he fell that far and I'm thrilled to get him there.

which one is likely to make the bigger impact? both on IR and could be stashed if you have an empty IR spot. I think Leshoure has the worse injury, but Williams has the worse situation (if Beanie doesn't stink this season).

I wouldn't be so sure about Leshoure having the worser of the two injuries. Some people are looking at Williams like his career is already over. I would feel more comfortable having Leshoure.

 

[Hendo]

Kendall Hunter is a kid with serious talent at RB in a potential great position as well.

 

[Unwrittenlaw]

Rob Housler

Scouts Inc.'s Matt Williamson says that rookie TE Rob Housler's ability "jumps off the screen."Housler played his college ball at Florida Atlantic and is reportedly struggling to pick up the Cardinals' playbook. But his athletic skills as a receiver have been evident as he learns from Todd Heap. Dynasty owners should take note that Kevin Kolb loves throwing to tight ends.

 

[(unwelcomed)GUEST]

TE Ed Dickson (Balt)

I actually like him this year but, he's a great guy to add for future years as well

He's a big (6-04, 250), fast (4.59 40) second year guy (ORE) with very good hands. He's had a few injuries that have limited playing time but, nothing major. Heap is gone and the Ravens obviously incorporate the TE into their passing attack, Pitta doesn't have the god-given talent to push this guy to bench.

 

[johnadams]

QB: Josh Johnson. FA in 2012. Whether or not he reunites with Harbaugh, he will be signed elsewhere for competition at the QB spot.

RB: Kendall Hunter. I don't think Gore is going to get the type of contract he wants and whether through FA or injury, SF starting RB job is Hunter's next season if not earlier.

TE: Greg Olsen. He's already the second best receiver on CAR's team. Think breakout like VDavis once Martz left SF.

WR: Earl Bennett. Somehow overlooked in the Roy v. Knox saga in Chicago, but has quietly become a starting WR on a team that we know is going to be chucking the ball.

 

[shotgun72]

Hold up on the Kendall Hunter Express.......Gore gets a 3 year extention

Housler is starting to get some work with Heap dinged up and missing games.

 

[GManiac]

Kendall Hunter is a kid with serious talent at RB in a potential great position as well.

I think size will be a problem for him. It's not a problem for everyone. But for him, I believe it will be. Just based on build I guess and running style.

I think Bernard Scott does as well. Cincinnati appears to be an up and coming team and I'm not sure how much longer they stay with Benson. He'll be 29 years old next season which is near the end of the line for RBs.

100% guaranteed. Scott is right behind Benson out the door. He's 28 next year. Not the answer.
