Who will be the [fantasy] comeback player of the year? (1 Viewer)

[ceo3west]

Some examples would be:

2005 - J. Galloway

2006 - D. McAllister

I personally like Portis in 2007, with D. Boston a close second.

 

[BeTheMatch]

Shawn Alexander

 

[Family Matters]

My vote is for LArry Johnson. He's been called a bust and said to be injured already by many on the boards and elsewhere. In fact he may even end his holdout and start the season afterall.

 

[Pocket Joker]

LaMont Jordan. Being drafted in rounds 5-7, and will end up putting up RB2 numbers.

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

i was burned by this guy in the 2nd round a few years ago but im starting to warm up to Chris Brown in tennessee. that hurt to type.

there are rushing yards to be had in this offense and fatdale's knee is puffy, err, swollen.

for where he can be drafted in particular, ill say Chrissy Brown

 

[NYGus]

Culpepper

 

[ImTheScientist]

Clinton Portis

 

[fsufan]

R. Moss

 

[mad sweeney]

1 season down production- Alexander

1+ seasons down production- Ahman Green

1 season down production- Alexander1+ seasons down production- Ahman Green

Green was RB15 last year, making him a borderline RB1 and top tier RB2 in fantasyland. I don't think he's eligible.

I keep coming back to Jerry Porter in my mind.

Maybe not comeback player of the year, but he will outplay his draft position in a huge way. I don't like the Raiders so this isn't fanboy talk!

 

[TheGreatest]

C. Portis & R. Moss

 

[steelcityman]

Big Ben. I think last year he was a combo of injury and bust, coming off the Super Bowl, expectations were high, and he threw a boat load of INTs.

 

[joffer]

C. Portis & R. Moss

jurb alias?

 

[Christo]

Shawn Alexander

Who?

 

[BeTheMatch]

Shawn Alexander

Who?

Sorry. Shaun. Happy now?

 

[NYGus]

Shawn Alexander

Who?

That's who

 

[Kit Fisto]

Gotta agree with Fo Shizzle here:

Chris Brown.

 

[Keys Myaths]

Portis, for sure. I think all the Betts talk is just that.

 

[Darth Cheney]

Duante Cullpepper. And it's not even close.

 

[Pittsburgh United]

LaMont Jordan. Being drafted in rounds 5-7, and will end up putting up RB2 numbers.

 

[Keepers]

Jordan and Chris Brown

 

[Franknbeans]

David Boston

 

[Sleeper 43]

Carnell Williams - All day long

Edit- Chris Brown is a very good one too.

 

[Dirk Digler]

David Boston, Chris Brown, Culpepper and Moss would all be near the top of my list.

 

[Prof. Chaos]

Gotta agree with Fo Shizzle here:

Chris Brown.

Untill he gets hurt 5 minutes into the second quarter on opening day. OK, maybe 10 minutes.

 

[aardball44]

David Boston

This is the guy I came into this thread to mention. Still, I didn't have the stones to draft him in the final round of my draft this week.

 

[StuntRock]

Cadillac Williams is my bet.

 

[gman8343]

I'd go with Portis too. I think he's in for a 1400+ yd 10+ TD year.

Also like Lamont Jordan at his ADP, I don't think Rhodes can take the job from him and he should see 65-70% of the touches.

Darkhorse: Ashley Lelie (55 catches, 880 yds, 6 TDs). Could be a nice deep threat with DJax the possession guy, VD over the middle & Battle running short routes.

 

[dickey moe]

Lamont Jordan

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Duante Cullpepper. And it's not even close.

Concur, Daunte in a runaway.

 

[JohnnyU]

William Green. Where's George Jefferson?

I'll say Shaun Alexander.

Green was RB15 last year, making him a borderline RB1 and top tier RB2 in fantasyland. I don't think he's eligible.

I can see your point, but the last few years in general he's been down from his once lofty status and i can see him cracking the top 12 this year. To me, that's comeback.

 

[zadok]

Jesse Chatman!

 

[zadok]

No seriously, Marcus Pollard.

 

[KellysHeroes]

when I think of comeback... I'm thinking of someone whoes stock has fallen...

Portis hasn't fallen that much still (early 1st too mid 2nd).. but one guy I see is Santana Moss. I look for him to bounce back and become a WR#1 again.

 

[AnonymousBob]

Wow, this love for Boston is getting rather thick.

 

[TaxMan]

Dominic Rhodes. heard from a die-hard Raider fan that Rhodes will probably get the job once he gets back on the field.

Ah. Let's file that under "fact" then.

 

[jeter23]

I vote for Jordan and/or Portis.

 

[LawFitz]

Portis, Culpepper, Jordan, Tater Bell, Rothlesberger, Delhomme

 

[Team Legacy]

I look at comeback as "coming back from an injury/surgery".

Fit into the "comeback from injury" category -

Trent Green

Culpepper

McNabb << My pick.

Kevin Jones

Portis

Joe Horn

Toomer

If we're talking comeback as "coming back from poor seasons" then I guess

David Carr

Joey Harrington (although not sure they've had Great seasons, lol)

Jake Delhomme

Byron Leftwich

Edgerrin James

Lamont Jordan

Warrick Dunn

Derrick Mason

Randy Moss

Nate Burleson

 

[sheckiec]

My Top 3:

Shaun Alexander - Top 3 numbers.

Cadillac - Will be a steal in the 3rd round.

And with the final pick in my draft....I'll take CPepp

 

[Jabroniking]

Well, the description of the thread says based on one or more "bust" or injury-plagued seasons, so I'll go with McNabb, C. Brown, R. Moss and M. Pollard.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Jamal Lewis gets no love here?
