I have Diggs pretty low on my list and generally I'd be super uncomfortable playing any Min Receiver given Teddy is slinging the skin for them. Brown vs. Diggs is a LANDSLIDE for Brown IMO.

How many teams are in the league? in a PPR league brown in the 8th doesn't seem like super great value to me. i think Fitz and Floyd are the obv 1-2 there and they've really been talking up Nelson recently. I'm not a Diggs fan either though and now he's likely behind treadwell. gates seems the most appealing to me if you have to keep a 5th. otherwise i may just go 4.

I like Michael Floyd & all, but he had 5 games last year where he had exactly 1 catch for a total of between 12 & 18 yards, & 1 other game he played but had no catches.

That kind of inconsistency is problematic.

For the season he had 52/849/6 in 15 games.

It's fine to project a jump, but he'll be 27 in November, & Carson isn't getting any younger.

He did have a good stretch of TD games, then 100 yard games toward the end of the season, but I think y'all might be a bit high on him.

Well if u remember correctly he was eased back in after missing a lot of time with a broken hand. The other **** games were due to a hammy injury. When he was healthy he crushed almost every week. Actually very consistent.

I don't know...just not that impressed by the progression here:

201316651,0411665.15
2012164556212.535.12

& lots of mouths to feed in AZ.

I do think he'll be slightly underdrafted, just not as much as I believe the thread consensus is.

I actually am in the process of trying to trade for him in a Dynasty League, so not hating, just trying to temper expectations some.

Ur not factoring in all the elements. I mean last year Carson Palmer was a last rd pick at qb. Wonder why. He has missed so much time in Arizona and things finally came together. If u don't believe in Carson than skip Floyd. If u do believe in Carson and the cards then I'm pretty sure Floyd will be very good. U also need to remember fitz was a very low pick coming into last year. He was getting a ton of the plays that would have been floyds if he was healthy out the gate. Just looking at stats dosnt work for all players. But whatever you think you can think.

The only thing that sucks with the cards for fantasy purposes is the defense looks to be top notch. I mean they do pour it on a bit but if would be nice to play from behind more times than not

You've got to throw out his 1st few games. Dude dislocated like 4 of his fingers in training camp and the bone broke the skin. Not a typical dislocation.

First year of our 1.25 ppr league as a keeper/dynasty. Keep 2 players this year, add one player each year until you keep 5. QB/2RB/3WR/TE/Flex 12 teams non-snake draft, I draft 12th. BECAUSE I WON LAST YEAR BITCHES.

Keep one:

Jordy
D. Freeman
B. Marshall

I have Gronk.

Either Marshall or Jordy, depending on your risk tolerance for Jordy's injury

This. You have to exclude week 17 as well because I believe they pulled all of their starters early since it was meaningless.

And this. Jordys ceiling is higher but his floor is also much lower in my opinion. I think if it's me, now that Fitz signed, I'd go Marshall

I think their ceilings are similar.

So why are Freeman and Ingram on so many busts lists? Seems like the criteria they're using I could apply to most backs.

Well I don't think freeman is considered a bust. His just considered a guy that isn't going to get the workload he did last year and in turn be a lower end rb1

I'm not sure what the perceived notion is about Ingram but besides him being seemingly injury prone, as u say u can argue that for plenty of players, he should be pretty damn good...
If he didn't get hurt at the end of the year he could have pushed for rb2 overall last year.

Freeman had that good stretch in the beginning of the season but then didnt average more than 4 YPC in any game second half of the year (except his 3 carry game vs IND). Maybe defenses adjusted, maybe he hit a wall. Don't know. I think he's just not good enough. Either way he couldn't beat out Coleman going into the start of last year. It's reasonable to think that best case Freeman gets 70/30 on Coleman. I've seen Freeman go in the first 2 rounds though which is just too high imo. I assume in a lot of more casual leagues he's going to go high just because he finished on top last year.

Ingram is likely injury concerns. I personally am very high on him this year though

edit: first two rounds too high in standard obv

Another issue to keep in mind is how good Coleman did in those games Freeman struggled. Pretty telling imo. It's a limited sample and I'm not going to look it up but it was something ridiculous like Freeman averaged 3 ypc and Coleman averaged 5 ypc over the same stretch. If Coleman holds onto the ball he'll push Freeman out of the way. If he doesn't Freeman will will suck but get enough volume to start safely.

You should target him if you're high on him. He was the #1 RB in fantasy last year and he's falling to the second round. That's sick value as your second pick if you think he's going to even come close to duplicating last year's stats.

Why is Ryan Mathews ADP so low? I haven't done any research yet, I just can't dream up a scenario where that makes sense. And I know about the ankle, but obviously that's not something to be that worried about.
