Who will be assimilated? (1 Viewer)

[AngryPatriot]

This is without a doubt one of the hardest and coldest parts of fantasy football. Who may be riding high but signs of a fall are beginning to show. Who has begun the inevitable assimilation into the collective? Sometimes it seems subtle, other times it seems sudden. Have players like Stephen Jackson and Reggie Wayne begun their descent? How soon ago did LT dominate the league to now being a possibly irrelevant or an rb III? Priest Holmes once ruled the landscape only to be dazzled by Larry Johnson.... Jamaal Charles? You get the point... Is my beloved Brady losing the drive? hmmm, not yet. This force seems to pull at RB's more than any other position, understandably so. Identifying these players is especially key in a dynasty league when well timed trades and strong drafts can play a key part. I'm not saying go out and trade a Ronnie Brown or a Randy Moss but there is a point of diminishing return and identifying it seems one of the trickiest things to do. Who's on your time bomb radar?

Donald Driver, Tony Gonzalez, Brandon Jacobs. off the top of my head.

Reggie Wayne

Nah, he has plenty of air in his tires. He had 100 receptions last year and doesn't turn 32 until a few weeks before Thanksgiving.Thomas Jones, who is 4 months younger, is actually much older in football years because of the position that he plays. He ran for 1,400 yard last year, but I don't think he'll continue his 5-year streak of 1,100 or more yards after joining Kansas City.

I am worried about Wayne's significant dropoff at the end of last season. I love Wayne and his situation but this might be the year...

I'd say Caddy, Winslow, Portis, and Shockey...

A good example was last year a team in my dynasty had LaDainian Tomlinson, Steve Slaton and Brandon Jacobs. And they all just kind of slipped away like sand through your hands.

As an SJAx owner I am worried. Last year was like 2 years for him physically. I think he will still be good this year, but I don't know if he has 20 good games left in him.

Caddy and winslow are both young and arguably havent had their best seasons yet. Portis for sure tho altho he is only gonna be 29 this year.

I'm with you on SJax. I think he has maybe one year left in the league of dominance. Back injuries are a death sentence for RB's. Love the guy now that he shuts his mouth and plays, but think he's about done...
