I love Duke Johnson but I need to see how they use them in the preseason before I jump on him. Crowell is the biggest concern here. Based on how they used Gio/Hill in Cinci last year, Crowell may get the first shot at the job. They used Hill alot last year. I think they're gunna use some kind of a time share but whoever comes out on top should be big.

agree on eli great value for his potential.

Hilton I've never been a fan of. Idk who else is there in the third but I think he's very boom/bust. Too much so that I prolly won't own him at all. Cobb is tough for me. I don't think he'd be super talented if he plays elsewhere. I just don't see it. With Jordy back is a pretty ideal situation though. You can't expect him to keep putting up the same TD numbers though. But fourth round it's hard to argue against him there.

Tate is tough. I think he'll get some yards and catches but I worry about his ability to win in the redzone. He'll get his chances but with the amount of double coverage he's gunna see is a tough situation. Fourth round is interesting though depending on who else is there.

Floyd is going to be insane. If he's not on every one of my teams I'm going to be disappointed. If both he and Palmer stay healthy I think top 10 numbers are very realistic.

Reed's a beast but his injury history is too long. No way I can take him. How far is Eifert falling now? I'd rather grab him and hope he's back week 3.

I'm a Bills fan and I can tell you letting Hogan go was a mistake. The Pats offense will be insane again but I don't know Hogan fits. He'd be great in the slot guy but that's not what they need. They have too many people competing for those balls already. If other guys get hurt he's got some potential for sure though.

thoughts on d-will? i did a quick mock just to get an idea of where some people are going and he got picked off in the 11th (10 teamer), which i think is a bit too early

I thought the same thing at 1st but then remembered Hill outperformed Gio by a mile his rookie year.
Hue is going to play the better guy whether he's a big back or small back.
Should come down to a real competition.
He also brought over a practice squad guy from the Bengals with him. So a shot that one of his "projects" gets a chance.

Honestly I'm not reaching for any of these guys unless there is a clear lead by the preseason.

Thats a good point. I forgot gio was the starter there in 2014 until he got hurt and hill came in and wrecked it. and love was proly too strong of a word. I expect Duke to end up with the bigger part of the timeshare and most likely put up top 10-15 RB numbers. I'm assuming he goes RB20-25 right now which should be good value

He's getting hyped like crazy already. Think you'll have to reach a bit if you believe in him.
I'll still be drafting WR's when he goes.
I'm thinking late 3rd is where he'll go with a half way decent preseason.

YPLs are live.

Get it.

Evans
Alshon
Cooks

Evans "disappointing" sophomore season was one in which he put up 1200 yards with a rookie QB and missed the first game of the season (while dealing with the lingering injury for the first quarter of the season). The lack of TDs are what really hurt his season, but he proved to be a scoring machine as a rookie and I expect the TD total to go back up as he builds rapport with Winston. Plus we know how unpredictable TDs can be from year to year. 2015 was his absolute floor IMO, and I expect numbers from Evans that are more reminiscent of Alshon's 2013 season. 90/1400/12 is about what I'd expect from Evans this year.

Ya, sounds like Winston is pushing Evans this year already.
I have to admit I've done 2 ppr mocks already and Cooks has gone in the 3rd in both so right now he seems to be valued on a different tier.
I'm sure it will change by August but I'll take Cooks in the 3rd all day long.

I saw this earlier in the week and wanted to jump right in. Players drafting in early June aren't going to be as soft as late August and early September. Cant believe many fish are drafting the first week of June. Must Resist.

Alshon
Cooks
Evans

Evans worries me just because of how bad he was in division last year. He only averaged 3 catches and 46 ypg and only 1 TD. I think he'll be good but he's riskier than the other two imo. I'm not confident in langford/kevin white so I think Chicagos gunna have to keep forcing the ball to Alshon. As long as he and Cutler can stay healthy (I know a big if) I think he'll get back to 90/1300.

Was thinking of tossing $50 into a YPL, but they are booked up till June 17th. So dumb.

The one guy I will not draft on any of my teams.

So I keep thinking about Lamar Miller
In my mind I see him as possibly finishing in the top 3 at rb by being the focal point of that offense... But then I think there is a chance that being with a new team can hurt him as I'm not really sure how good Lamar really is.
On paper he looks like a great player to start off ur team but I'm not sure he is a lock to produce at a high level

Thoughts???

perriman likely out again hahahaowow

So after hopefully having a solid first 6 or so rounds these are some players I'm really liking based on upside value, skill and their situation on their teams

I've never been a fan of dolphin players..but after watching as much video as possible I am starting to really like jay ajayi and devante Parker
If jay is the guy there and as of today he is he could be a great rb2 with rb1 potential if he establishes himself as a workhorse.
He runs very hard and on paper I believe the o line has 4 first rd talents so with an above avg line and a young hard running rb with a chip on his shoulder I can see ajayi doing good things.
Parker in his limited action last year looked really good.
Big strong athletic kid who in gases offense could take over the DT role. He has to be a candidate for double digit tds if tanny can play well. He had some obserd stat last year where he converted 1st downs on 77% of his receptions.
I could obviously be wrong with these guys but the risk is low for what could be high production. Situation seems pretty solid though so will be something to follow up until draft time.

I watched almost every touch duke Johnson had last night and he just seems like a must have to me. Young and super skilled he should be the best offensive player on the Browns. And him being a brown should discount his stock a bit. Kid could be very very good.

My 2 favorite rookies r sterling Shepard and cj prosise

Sterling will probably be wr2 on a team with a stud wr1 and no running game and bad defense. Watched his college tape and he eerily resembles Cruz. He just looks like he belongs in the exact situation he is in and should produce better than the other middling Wrs that are at his adp.

Cj prosise also looks like he might be in a perfect spot. At worst he will be an asset in ppr leagues but this 3rd down rb is a former wr converted to rb is 6"1" 220 and a top athlete. He could also push Rawls for regular snaps and possibly be David Johnsonish if the situation arises.
I also like the raiders rookie Washington and Broncos booker
Both could be high upside low risk picks if things fall right for them.

FSTA Draft is tonight for those interested in seeing results:

I haven't followed anything yet this year for me, way too early lol

I assume this is PPR? if so Aiken as the #51 WR off the board could be a huge steal. Smith is coming off an Achille's injury and Wallace just isn't that good. I think Aiken could end up seeing significant time this year.

Also like Abdullah as the #34 RB and Benjamin as the #48 WR as low risk high reward plays

Steve Smith Sr says (jokingly?) the main reason he wants to return this year is to hit 1,000 receptions.

he's like 39 away. it's believable. he's slated to miss the entire pre season but he should be useful this year

Rookie rbs...

Seems prosise comes off first. Not including Elliot of course
His situation. Seems pretty solid and not a bad gamble. Don't expect to get Rawls like performances but could be a unique 3rd down back on an unpredictable offense

Alex Collins is still the forgotten man in the Seahawks backfield. If Rawls loses ground these 2 guys have some good value. If Rawls is solid prosise may be start able in a pinch as an exciting 3rd down rb

Devonte booker
Cj Anderson can underwhelm and hillman honestly looked pathetic last year. Booker has a nice path to a starting role if Anderson sucks and maybe immediate rb2 for Broncos as he should certainly be able to beat out hillman

Now many people like latavius Murray and for sure he's serviceable. I remember a lil stink last season where it seemed like the raiders hated Murray. Anyway oak has a great oline and deandre Washington has 1 guy in his way to a starting job on prob one of the best teams to be a rb this year. An injury or subpar performances from Murray could make Washington a factor this year and I like it.

Paul Perkins has a shot at grabbing the Giants job. Not much to say here. I don't know much about him and I don't know what the Giants think but all of their rbs are gross and Perkins being new blood could bring some life to the run game.

Derrick Henry is obviously gonna be drafted in every league. Seems like at worst he gets about 30% of the rb snaps. But really who knows how much more he could get. The good thing is he will be avail to u to start in a pinch. He could be Brandon Jacobs or Toby gerhert. Or anything I between. Anyway not a bad stash

The Eagles rookie Smallwood. Know nothing about him but I watched some film on him. He looked pretty bad honestly. He was the first guy I've seen who had on his highlight videos a bunch of 3 yard runs. I dunno but not a good sign.

The colts got this kid josh Ferguson.
He's a little scat back. I want to love him but he might be a Lil too slow or strong or something. But the colts could really use that type of player. I'm not gonna lie. He's def exciting and with a good preseason he has dion Lewis upside possibilities. Maybe?!?

I'm drawing a blank on the Bears rookie so since I can't remember his name I'll just leave it at bears wanna rbbc and he's the other half.

what are people's thoughts on travis benjamin this year?

had some huge games due to huge plays, a few of them were on broken plays, but considering his QB situation went from dumpster fire to Rivers, is slotted as the #2(ish) WR, so won't get the top coverage, is he still a fringe WR3 or in the WR3/2 territory?

don't know how you can class him as anywhere near a solid wr3

Yep.

I think Benjamin is a definite upgrade from Floyd who put up 800 yard seasons fairly consistently when he was playing. Wisenhunt being back should also help their offense a lot. And the running game is pretty much non-existent. That said I've got him as a high WR3 with the potential to move up depending how things go.

Damn. You beat me by a month starting one, haha. Anyway, in. Let the mocks begin!
