Punt and Kickoff Returners 2011 (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter steveb1164
- Start date
Thanks for the heads up. I had them switched on the sheet I use to set my rosters, but not on the recopied cells I use to post here. I checked in Sunday morning, and didn't see any activity, and then forgot to post near 1 when I was scrambling to finish flipping coins on a few starts. Here's what I had for week #7. My algo's are getting pretty good at honing in who to start now, and I have a pretty good idea of who to keep rostered for the rest of the season / drop. If you have longer-term question about who to keep/drop just message me.Washington 111Brown 104Cobb 103Weems 98Logan 97Porter 87Mariani 86Cribbs 85Manning 68Hester 67McKnight 66Cosby 65Stephens-Howling 64Banks 64Arenas 63Lefeged 63Goodman 63Parker 54? 54Karim 45Sproles 44Harvin 41Ford 33McCann 32Pilares 27Gates 14
Week 8 Look-Ahead: These guys should already be on your team (long-term) but week 8 is shaping up very nicely for Brandon Banks (best number I've seen so far this year this) and Antonio Brown. My only concern with Brown is that he's a legit #2 receiver, and Pit could try to get cute at some point and put Sanders back there again. If Brown is returning, he's a great play this week again.
Week 8 Projections:
Banks 112
Brown 105

Is there a place where I can see who the starting returners are for each team? Like would I be able to find who the starting return men are for teams like Tampa and Oakland?

if you look in the idp forum I try to keep an updated list in a thread in there.
haven't updated since these last round of games, though, so I can't swear it's 100%.

TB = Parker....but it's tricky if Stroughter is active (he may be the guy again there)Oak = Ford KO returns only

It was mainly Stroughter last week on KOR, and Parker on P returns. Parker got 1 KOR I believe. If Stroughter is left off the roster (which happened for a few weeks in a row before last week) then Parker could be huge. If Stroughter is playing, I'm staying away from the entire situation. Three really good other options this week, so he's just my 4th option is anything anyway...'mental said:
Not sure if thread is dead or not, but if you're still playing for keeps like I am, week 13 stud returners look like:
Banks
Washington
Sproles
Tate
I'm also going to run some algo's on Weems, Mariani, and Lefeged to see where their projections end up
If you want hard numbers just PM me...

Trying to make a choice between Randall Cobb or Brandon Banks this week. Any projections?
My Algo's have Banks going for 121 this week (one of the strongest plays of the season), and Cobb going for an average of 71. Cobb will see a throw or two his way, and can easily go house, so I would guess it depends on how your league rewards receiving/returns/ppr/bonus points. Good luck!
Here are the strongest plays my algo's spit out:Banks - 121Cribbs - 121 (just a little riskier than Banks for a few reasons)Ginn - 95Logan - 91I also have one sleeper coming in around 110 yards depending on who dresses on his team, but can't vouch for him until I know more (he played for me in HS, so I'll know by Saturday night / Sunday am)

Footballguy
so, who was your sleeper?
Did you play Banks? Algo's said 121, he went for 117. I looked like a genius when he threw that touchdown pass...no way to predict those things though...

I think cribbs came out of thursday's game with some issue.

Played Cobb, expecting lots of punts. Regretted it, of course.
Yeah, my algo's aren't real strong on punts (but truthfully I've made them skewed towards kickoffs because punts are so hard to predict). Unless we're in coaching meetings during the week we have no idea how to predict what the punt protection will look like, what the punt return blocking will look like, if they'll directional kick, etc. 1 of my algo's doesn't account for punts at all, 1 takes them into account equally the the other 3 to some varying degree. When I see a monster punt return I usually chaulk it up to luck (I know that sucks given we're all here to try and predict this madness). Good luck this week!
Week 16 (Championship for most of my leagues):
Sproles
Cribbs
Logan
Banks
Hester (now that Knox is out of picture, if GB kicks to him, he's a good play)
Tate
In that order. Good luck unless you're playing me
If you want hard numbers for everyone, PM me.
Happy Holidays, see ya'll next year...
