It's that wonderful time of year again. Where spend our Sunday's splitting our time between watching full grown men destroy their bodies for our entertainment and checking our phones for fantasy updates.
Who are the Studs, Sleepers, and Bust of this season?
My thoughts:
Studs RB : D. Johnson, E. Elliot, Ingram and Miller, AP, Gurley WR: Hopkins, Dez, Robinson, Julio, ODB, AB
Sleepers WR: Landry, Sterling Shepard, Montcrief RB: Duke Johnson, M. Gordan, B. Powell
Bust WR: Jordy, Alshon, Baldwin, Anyone on the Eagles RB: CJ Anderson, Lacy (Trent Richardson 2.0), Murray, Freeman
die hard packers fan here. explain yourself about Jordy being a bust.
Love him - but worried about his knees. One is surgically repaired from an ACL tear and the other has tendinitis. Jordy's game isn't his speed, it's his route running that makes him an incredible receiver. Having two shaky knees going into the season isn't the brightest outlook.
Sleeper pick for sure: J. Gordon for the browns he may be suspended first 4 games, but I have a feeling he is gonna kill it the second half of the season .
Why do you think Freeman is a bust? He's going like top 25 in mock drafts and he was a complete beast last season
Chill out with the Trent 2.0 b.s. Eddie Lacy may not be as good as expected but Trent Richardson may be the worst starting RB in the past 10 years. I will post my list of booms/sleepers/busts later. Just for context I won my 10 man fantasy league 2 of the past 4 years (would've won 3/4 if b.s. Rogers didn't throw an unnecessary bomb TD late in the 4th Q to Jordy 2 seasons ago during the fantasy playoffs). Had devonta freeman (after picking Tevin Coleman), drafted latavius in like the 4th rd last yr and he performed rb2 level, & scooped Allen Hurns from the waiver wire (wr2 last yr) while picking up Edelman late and Leveon with my 1st pick.
Lacy- He's just not a great back and didn't even have 800 yards rushing last year. If the Packers were so confident in him, they wouldn't have rushed to sign Starks this off season.
BTW, winning a 10 man league? 12 men or nothing.
Freeman - Don't see him making it through the full season. Look at his number in the second half of the season. In the last 8 games, his most rushing yards in a single game was 88 yards. His average under 4 yards per carry and didn't even have 1 run of more than 40 yards.
nah I have been in both, I think 10 is the perfect amt.
I think David Johnson will have a major regression this year, he's the top 10 overall pick I'd avoid... Arians loves CJ2K deep down, he'll get carries.
I'm buying Lacy this year at his steep discount.
Gurley is going to do some serious damage this year.
Is anyone interested in the creation of a league?
Yes, I'd definitely join a WSO Fantasy League!
I think Carlos Hyde needs to be on that sleeper list. I've also been in the bay for three weeks...
Stud Muffins: 1. Gronk - doesn't matter if it's Brady of Garapollo 2. OBJ - being able to catch a ball with 1 hand helps, a lot 3. Gurley - feed the beast 4. Antonio Brown - dude is match-up proof
Snorlax Sleepers (drafted outside 1st/2nd round with top-5 potential for their position) 1. Arian Foster - huge potential if he eats his Wheaties and stays healthy 2. DeMarco Murray Hill - the nickname is my intellectual property. Titans offense is on the uppidy up 3. Golden Tate - WR1 caliber player is now the primary target for a gun-slinging QB 4. Andy 'The Firebird' Dalton - seems to improve year over year and still has great weapons
Disappointments: 1. Devonta Freeman 2. Zeke Elliot - overhyped, still a rookie 3. Allen Robinson - Jags won't be playing from behind/airing the ball out nearly as much this year
MUP: Most Underappreciated Player Gostkowski - don't sleep on a guy starts every week, gives your 8-12 points and isn't a QB/RB/WR
Comeback POY: Keenan Allen - remember when he had 11 catches in half last year? I do
Baldwin should definitely not be considered a bust. A 'bust' indicates that the player was predicted to do well.
Baldwin is a mediocre WR at best.
comeback player of the year: Aaron Hernandez
