FUBAR 3,203 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 3 hours ago, FF Ninja said: Just look at the tiny amount of time/resources dedicated (by FBG, forums, etc) to return yards or players that get all their value from return yards. It's a niche market. If we're dropping anecdotal evidence (you having 4 of 6), I'll share that I'm somewhere around 0 of 12. Counting return yards is just a gimmick to get more players in the player pool to encourage parity. "Did you miss out on real players that play on offense? Don't worry. Pick up this 6th string WR who runs no routes, plays zero offensive snaps, but returns kickoffs." A guy like Hill has much more value in those leagues, but for future reference if you are discussing a return yard league it is really important to state that because almost everyone will assume return yards count for nothing. We get it, you don't like including returns. But your arguments have been made, equally poorly, against ppr. Personally, I like leagues where players get credit for what they do on the field - if you don't think special teams matter, we view the nfl very differently. It's cool though, we all have our preferences - just keep in mind that's all your, or my, opinion is on this matter. Neither is "wrong" or a gimmick. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Biabreakable 5,139 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 FWIW I like scoring for returns. It adds another interesting wrinkle to player values and returns are an important part of the outcome of real football games. I have proposed adding return yardage scoring to leagues that don't have it in the past, but I was a lone voice in the wilderness on this issue. I have played in leagues that have scoring for returns, and generally it only matters for a few players, but I like that element to be there and I would never say no to such a rule change, even if I am not well equipped to take advantage of it presently.

FreeBaGeL 9,162 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Whether return yards are a good idea or a bad idea is irrelevant in a discussion about whether most leagues include them or not, which they clearly do not. Even that is only relevant because a couple of people were making arguments under the assumption that the scoring system was one used in a very small number of leagues, and then acting all bewildered as if people were trying to cherry pick Hill's stats by not including his return yards. It's a silly discussion anyways because in return yard leagues obviously his value is way higher than WR41. That's obvious to the point that it's barely even worth mentioning. His value is also much higher in leagues where Chiefs' players get 1000 points per touchdown. Each of those are equally relevant to ZWK's rankings that include neither return yards (as very very few rankings on the internet do) nor 1000 point touchdowns for Chiefs players. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd have Zeke #1 in non-ppr, but with 0.5 ppr I'm going with Johnson. In 2016 David Johnson finished as the #1 RB and Antonio Brown & Jordy Nelson finished as the top 2 WRs, and David Johnson was worth more than both of them put together. Bell & Zeke were each about 50 VBD behind Johnson, Bell because he missed games and Zeke because he caught fewer passes. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can you state your rationale on this ranking? Interested to know if you make any assumption about Woodhead or other RBs having roles; other candidates might include Oliver, Hillman, Farrow, McCluster, and/or Andre Williams. Also interested to know if you factor OL quality into your rankings. 17 minutes ago, ZWK said: 5 22 Spencer Ware KC 25.8 (39) 6 26 Jamaal Charles KC 30.7 (10) 10 74 Charcandrick West KC 26.3 (71) Do you make any assumption on whether or not Charles remains in KC with these rankings? I guess I could see these rankings being based on Charles being back next season and being the primary RB, which means West has no role until the following season, when West will already be 27 and still presumably behind Ware. Is that your expectation? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zyphros 1,979 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 and I thought I was the only one buying on Jeremy Hill. Why are you so high on him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZWK 1,993 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 There aren't many RBs who are as young as Melvin Gordon and have had a season as good as his 2016. Highly touted coming into the league (and he rated out well in my prospect rankings), big stats this year both in fantasy and by PFF grade, looked good as a receiver and in short yardage / goal-line situations. If Woodhead or someone else is back in the receiving back role then that will hurt his numbers, but Gordon has a better chance than most RBs of being a 3-down RB after doing so well at it this year. The bad San Diego OL makes his 2016 season more impressive (which is a positive for Gordon) and also means that he'll probably find it harder to find running room over the next year or two (which is a negative for Gordon); on the whole that is somewhat positive for Gordon (compared to if I thought that SD had a great offensive line in 2016). Charcandrick West is not a good RB, as far as I can tell. Injuries have given him a path to playing time over the past couple years, but I don't see him as a good enough player to earn much playing time. Spencer Ware seems like a pretty good RB, potentially the kind of guy who can hold down a starting job for a few years. Most of Jamaal Charles's value comes from the chance that he'll get healthy and be the same player that he was in 2014. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now putting CJ Anderson at 15 is aggressive and I strongly disagree. Now this is half a PPR so don't know that impact but in PPR leagues this ranking is actually higher than Anderson has ever finished a season, which was 16th. Same result if you use PPG or total season, 16th is his best season. In terms of total points he's only cracked top 30 ONCE. Bad! And really when a player has never had so much as 190 carries on the college or pro level I don't think you can really use per game to much to evaluate him, it's not like he's suddenly going to carry strong for 300 or something. He's got Hill ranked 19th. Again this is PPR and half PPR likely only boosts Hill a little but since he came into the league he's finished as RB10, RB22 and RB20, yet people hate Hill and love Anderson, don't get it. Even if you want to use PPG instead, which takes away one of best traits of Hill's which is his availability, he's finished as RB 17,36 and 26. That's not quite RB19 but an average of 26 and considering he's only missed one game and his durablity is a big plus I'd think moving up over his per game average at least a few is just. Anyway, disagree or agree, appreciate the effort of the rankings and all in all as good as anything else I've seen out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But ppg counts games he didn't start, and full season numbers count games he didn't play last year. There has also been a lot of qb turmoil. He appears to have held off booker as competition, so if he survives the draft he could start again. His numbers as starter: 2016 7 games 565/5 2015 15 games 903/5 2014 8 games 1053/10 You can make the case that he started a lot fewer than 15 games in 2015, but even counting those as full games, he has 2521 yards and 20 tds in 30 games, which projects out to 1350/10. Last year he was on pace for 1360/11 through 7 games before getting hurt. That's right around rb10 numbers in most leagues. 2) Hill's numbers are solid, but unless he is the standalone starter, he's too touchdown dependent to actually use. For every multi td game, he gives you 2 or 3 games with 1 catch, 30 or 40 tortal yards and no tds. In a best ball format or with deep starting lineups, he can be more useful. Otherwise you're hoping for a gio injury, and even that didn't help much last year. 3) The rb landscape is such that you will have a handful of studs - elliott, dj, bell, mccoy, etc - at the top and then a large group below them. One way to separate that large group is by age - i would rather have kenneth dixon than frank gore. But you're also looking for upside. Anderson has put up elite rb1 numbers for an 8 game stretch before, is still relatively young, put up low end rb1 numbers last year, and may (should?) be the primary ball carrier again. If he doesn't get porked in the draft, which is a risk for almost everybody this year, he should be somewhere between mid range rb and high end rb1, with a very realistic expectation of low end rb1. Compare that with kenneth dixon, who i like. Dixon could also put up.high end rb1 numbers, but we haven't seen it. He could put up low end rb1 numbers, which feels like his realistic upside. But he could also do zilch, and has a higher likelihood of getting screwed in the draft. At this time of year, Anderson belongs clearly ahead of Dixon despite their age difference. He belongs ahead of a lot of guys almost by default. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's because he's not good enough, can certainly can't be good enough all season. Like a typical backup, he can give you a few games at best and than wanes because that's what he is, a backup material player. I don't buy the QB turmoil, just because you benefit when Peyton was still good and defense did not gameplan around you does not mean you get to blame QB production for not being very good. He's also had some great coaching. Gase and Kubiak and still laid duds. I also strongly disagree he held off Booker. 1 hour ago, bostonfred said: 2) Hill's numbers are solid, but unless he is the standalone starter, he's too touchdown dependent to actually use.

Does not matter how he gets there, he's getting there and he's consistently one of the best goal line running backs in the league. If you start him every week he'll even out. His PPG production has been similar to Andersons, he's just healthier. I don't love the guy or anything and this really speaks to how thin the RB group is of players I trust, but fact is he's finishing with season totals that absolutely justify where he is ranked, not the case for CJ Anderson. 1 hour ago, bostonfred said: 3) The rb landscape is such that you will have a handful of studs - elliott, dj, bell, mccoy, etc - at the top and then a large group below them.

ZWK 1,993 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 CJ Anderson & Jeremy Hill have both been fantasy RB2s for the past few years. They're both in the RB15-20 range for most fantasy production since 2014. The biggest difference being that CJ Anderson has been more up-and-down, sometimes flashing RB1 production and sometimes losing playing time to mediocre backs or missing time with injuries. I like Anderson more because he has more upside. It's possible that I'm too high on Hill, since he doesn't have much upside as long as Gio is playing on the same team (though it does seem reasonably likely that Hill will go elsewhere in free agency next offseason). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ZWK 1,993 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Prosise had one good game this year. I have moved him up a fair amount from where I had him before the season, but I don't want to move him too far based on a single game. Montgomery basically took over as the Packers' RB by default, after their RBs got injured, and the Packers still didn't rely on him that heavily (only 1 game with 12+ carries, including playoffs). The Packers seem to like him in certain matchups (his 4 games with the highest workloads of att+tgt came against Chicago, Chicago, Dallas, and Dallas), but it's not clear if he does enough as a RB to be a big part of the offense week-to-week once GB has other running backs.

Yes and when you think about that 2014 WR draft probably gave most people anywhere from from 25-33% of their current top 20 WR's, changed the way the WR landscape work. I don't think the RB's will be as valued as the WR's from that draft but I do think this draft can and will have similar shakeup to the RB rankings. I could easily see me having 4-5 rookies in my top 20 RB's after the draft is over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Point per first down is what ppr should have been all along. Great idea, even if it is (currently) a "tiny niche of fantasy leagues." As to the quality return yards issue, simple solution is to add a -1 for kick returns ending inside the 25 (or 20 if you want to be charitable). For punt returns, probably make that "inside the 10."

bostonfred 30,549 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 On 2/7/2017 at 6:53 PM, ZWK said: 7 39 Paul Perkins NYG 22.8 (45) Are they content with Paul Perkins as their running back next season? They liked what the rookie did in limited action and they seem committed to naming him the starter in 2017. The question is really about how much work they're willing to give him and how much support he needs. Rashad Jennings could be a salary cap casualty (or a candidate for a pay cut). But presumably the Giants will want to bring someone in to split carries with Perkins, who only carried the ball 112 times last season. The Giants have long been advocates of the need for two running backs to split the workload. They also believe this position is a young man's spot. - Ralph Vacchiano Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He was drafted in the second, was a mediocre rookie, had a solid game week 1 this year, and got hurt for season week 2. 13th overall? 4 14 Mark Ingram NO 27.7 (7) - this year seemed like a down year, but it really wasn't. 1360 yards and 10 tds. 14th is probably alright. 4 15 C.J. Anderson DEN 26.6 (21) - in his last 30.games, has put up low end rb1 numbers. In his 7 games this year, he was exactly on that pace. He's shared carries most of that time. 15 seems right 4 16 Giovani Bernard CIN 25.8 (17) - i guess i would like more upside from the 16th guy on this list. Gio is more likelly to be a rb2 than thomas rawls is to be an rb2 or better, but rawls is way more likely to be an rb1 than gio. Gio isn't so far better than replacement level that i would prefer him to a shot at a stud. 4 17 Tevin Coleman ATL 24.4 (30) - good talent, bad situation, still had a good year. 940 yards and 11 tds in 12 games, for those who missed it. Atlanta could regress as an offense, and his upside is capped with freeman there, so i would probably drop him some. It seems like backfields where two guys are playable have a hard time repeating. 4 18 Thomas Rawls SEA 24.1 (15) - rb1 upside. I fear prosise, but the juice is worth the squeeze. 4 19 Jeremy Hill CIN 24.9 (13) - not only is he an extremely difficult player to start each week, cincinatti is supposedly frustrated with their running game. 2 or 3 tiers too high. 5 20 C.J. Prosise SEA 23.3 (41) - with limited touches he put up rb1 numbers a few weeks in a row, then got hurt. Converted wr with limited rb experience but prototypical rb1 atheticism. Could be serviceable in ppr without "starting", would be a beast ifbhe took over. Move to tier 4. 5 21 DeMarco Murray TEN 29.5 (38) - wore down late in the season after getting hurt but man was he a stud the first half. The threat of henry taking over is real but the stud rb1 upside is great. Tier 5 seems ok. 5 22 Spencer Ware KC 25.8 (39) - if charles comes back or kc drafts a guy early, he might literally never start again. He had a strong end of 2015 and start to 2016 but no long stretches of big numbers. I guess tier 5 is ok. 5 23 Latavius Murray OAK 26.5 (23) - I don't know where he will play or what role he will have. 1000/12 was exciting i guess, but the only thing I'm really confident in is that I don't expect him to ever put up rb1 numbers. 5 24 Rob Kelley WAS 24.9 (73) - in his 2016 redskins yearbook he was voted most likely to be replaced. Had one momster game and a couple serviceable ones but upside seems limited even if he starts. 5 25 Dion Lewis NE 26.9 (27) - james white played too well to hold out hope that lewis will be an every week starter. I like him a lot as a player but have a hard time gambling on him returning to his partial season form. 6 26 Jamaal Charles KC 30.7 (10) - worth a shot that he is able to be a stud rb1 again. Yeah, he was hurt, and he's old, but the young guys didn't exactly relegate him to the bench and he was the best kind of elite when he played. Thought he was overrated the last couple years, might be underrated now. 6 27 Kenneth Dixon BAL 23.6 (36) - this is way too low for a young guy with rb1 upside. Dixon looked really good when he played. He runs with power, can run outside, and catches the ball really well. He has to worry about a stud rb getting drafted - which should definitely lower his stock - but i think the ravens want a guy like tyreek hill or ty montgomery, who they could use on jet sweeps and outside runs when defenses start playing cover 2. Should be tier 4 or 5 at the lowest. 6 28 Theo Riddick DET 26.3 (57) - probably about right. Can put up big numbers any week, but also disppears completely. 6 29 T.J. Yeldon JAX 23.9 (19) - have you seen something that makes him rosterable? 6 30 Isaiah Crowell CLE 24.6 (42) - year 2 with hue. Add some talent around him and he could become a low end rb1. 6 31 Duke Johnson CLE 23.9 (22) - can catch the ball but doesnt seem to get the touches. I guess there's upside. 6 32 Terrance West BAL 26.6 (55) - i am dumbfounded that you have him in the same tier as dixon. West had a couple weeks where he was clearly ahead of dixon but the rookie took the lead later in the year, and this seems like a year that west played as well as he was capable of. Would drop. 6 33 Jerick McKinnon MIN 25.3 (24) - finally got his chance and was painfully underwhelming. Just under 800 yards with 4 total tds. 110/2 of that was a week 17 game vs the bears. Yuck. 6 34 Eddie Lacy GB 27.2 (8) - might be done, but a chance at free agency could give him some value.tier 6 is fine. 7 35 Ty Montgomery GB 24.6 unr - it's hard to imagine the packers going into the season with him as their rb1, but he might belong higher 7 36 Mike Gillislee BUF 26.8 (83) - i don't think he goes into any season as a rb1, so you're ranking him purely on backup rb value if mccoy gets hurt. Probably a bit high. 7 37 Doug Martin TB 28.6 (12) - seems to have dropped too far after climbing too far the year before. Still a chance to be an rb1 again at some point. 7 38 Karlos Williams PIT 24.3 (34) - if he takes the backup job, which is reasonable, he could be a very valuable backup. But he has to pass deangelo 7 39 Paul Perkins NYG 22.8 (45) - should be a couple tiers up. Giants seem committed to him as their rb1 next year and of the future. His first nfl start, he had 100 yards. Took him a long time to learn the protections in an audible heavy offense, especially starting late from ucla's late graduation, so year 2 could/should be a big leap. a starting running back at #39 is too low. 7 40 James White NE 25.6 (52) - this is probably about the right price. Has a little upside from here, but you probably fon't want to start him. 7 41 Kenyan Drake MIA 23.6 (37) - seems like he was drafted to be a role player and dudn't play the role that well. This is residual dynasty value because they spent a third round pick on him i guess, but i have zero interest 7 42 Bilal Powell NYJ 28.8 (50).- was startable for a while. 7 43 LeGarrette Blount NE 30.7 (56) - had a career year but seemed to wear down a bit. Fans want the pats to draft a running back, but who knows. Would have value if they dont. 7 44 Adrian Peterson MIN 32.4 (16) - worth gambling that hes not done 7 45 Matt Forte NYJ 31.7 (29) - worth gambling that hes not done 7 46 Charles Sims TB 27.0 (40) - seemed to have some rb of the future allure, but he's older than you think and didn't play that well this year. 7 47 Devontae Booker DEN 25.3 (46) - looked better as a backup than as a starter, but he was a rookie forced into a bigger role than he ought to have been 7 48 Frank Gore IND 34.3 (43) - would be shocked if he ever started again. 7 49 Jonathan Stewart CAR 30.4 (32) - i guess he has to.be ranked somewhere, but i have zero interest even at this low price. Just a frustrating player. 8 50 Chris Thompson WAS 26.9 unr - why bother? 8 51 Jalen Richard OAK 23.9 unr - has some chance to start for a good young offense 8 52 DeAndre Washington OAK 24.5 (48) - has some chance to start for a good young offense 8 53 Wendell Smallwood PHI 23.6 (69) - has some chance to start for a good young offense. Could have standalone value as a receiving back. 8 54 Christine Michael GB 26.8 (26) - had occasional value this year, and some outside chance of having some again. 8 55 Jacquizz Rodgers TB 27.6 unr - he had some really good games last year and the backfiekd is uncertain. Should be a little higher. 8 56 Darren Sproles PHI 34.2 (59) - zero interest 8 57 Chris Ivory JAX 29.4 (49) - it's hard to be the most embarrassing waste of talent in jacksonville but he managed 8 58 Shane Vereen NYG 28.5 (64) - perkins seems to be the guy, but vereen still has some potential to be a 800-1000 yard, 60 catch guy with a handful of touchdowns. 8 59 Zach Zenner DET 26.0 (68) - nah 8 60 Danny Woodhead SD 32.7 (44) - san diego wants him back and he was really good in a role that guys can play into their 30s. Should be higher. 9 61 DeAngelo Williams PIT 34.4 (53) - should be a little higher just because he's so easy to bench until/unless bell misses a game and then he's so valuable. Better use of a roster spot than younger low upside guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SayWhat? 4,118 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I think there are valid arguments to be made for all of Julio, Cooper, and Hopkins over Brown. But you'd have to be certifiably nuts to take Watkins over him IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FUBAR 3,203 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I must be way too high with Zenner even the 34 year old gore is worth more in dynasty. But maybe that's just because I'm in large leagues (16 or more teams) so mildly productive younger guys have more value. Do you think gore has another season in the tank?

I had Howard rated as a tier 3 prospect pre NFL draft and although I thought he fit with what Fox likes to do, I didn't expect him to be as good as he was, especially how good he was as a receiver as well, I didn't expect that. So to have Howard in the top 10 is a big jump from my perspective, for other people perhaps not so much. ZWK is a Bears fan also, so I thought he might be a bit more conservative with his ranking of him, I know I see flaws in Vikings players that other people might not notice. So getting a green light with a high ranking suggests to me there were not flaws or reasons (that I might not know) to ding Howard much. As far as Anderson goes, I do really like him, but yeah he can't seem to stay healthy for a full season for whatever reason, I still feel that Booker may be the better talent there, he wasn't better than Anderson as a rookie, but he was a rookie. Booker will need to make a big jump going into his second season to beat out Anderson. I have no idea what the Bronco's plans are, perhaps they add another RB from the draft who makes both Anderson and Booker an afterthought. One concern I have about Booker that I likely should have given more consideration is that he was a 24 year old rookie. So 25 in his second season, he might not have as much room to grow and improve as a younger player, what he did last seasons could be close to making out, if so that was not good enough. It will be interesting to see either way if Booker improves a lot or stays about the same. Andre Ellington was a similar age as Booker entering the NFL. What do people think about how he played in his second season compared to his rookie season? Did he improve much? Or stay about the same? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's more about lack of belief in Brown. I think he's likely to be in for a significant decline in numbers if Roethlisberger retires or declines. Also, I don't discount future production as much as most owners do, so that helps younger receivers relative to guys like Brown. 2 hours ago, Biabreakable said: I had Howard rated as a tier 3 prospect pre NFL draft and although I thought he fit with what Fox likes to do, I didn't expect him to be as good as he was, especially how good he was as a receiver as well, I didn't expect that.

I didn't get to see that much more of Howard than of other RBs, so I don't think you should put much extra weight on my opinion there just because I'm a Bears fan. A big part of why Howard is so high is that the RB position is relatively weak. Which guys can you look at and confidently say "He will be a starter in 2018?" There are maybe 5-10 RBs that I can say that about, depending on my cutoff for what counts as "confidently". Derrick Henry is in basically the same place that I rated him as a 2nd round rookie, and I think Howard has shown enough to be right there with him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigSteelThrill 5,359 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 As funny as this for me to say... Hunter Henry needs to be higher. Just don't see myself trading him for any other TE straight-up in dynasty. *no, I don't own him in any fantasy leagues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously Fleener and orange Julius fell big time but not green? You have a lot more faith in green than I do. Why no AJ Derby? I have Ebron but couldn't keep him in the same tier as Eifert or Ertz. (I'd bump him to Olsen/Graham). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Depending on where they land and the scheme the Big 3 coming in are going to shake this ranking up! Grab one or two if you can! Tex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigTex 859 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I traded for Kelce so I'm pretty happy with that the Hunter Henry owner is not selling! Tex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
