Tigris Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 What I'd like to do is start a thread that will serve as a helpful hand when doing our fantasy football drafts this year. I'm sure not all of us have the time or desire to do extensive research on every team in the NFL. However, collecively, we could probably get a lot accomplished by posting tidbits we hear, read, know from our various sources. Posting sleepers (with exceptional reason), injury progressions from last year would be extra helpful. First, and take this how you will, but I was chatting with a die hard Bears fan the other day and he said he could easily see Chester Taylor outperform Matt Forte this year. His reason was their new OC likes to throw and Taylor is more of a receiving back who will be in on third downs. How much of that holds water? I don't know. Was Martz the OC when Faulk went for over 1000 rushing and receiving? I can't recall. I'll have much more to offer as time progresses but though I'd start this just in case I hit up on anything over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigris Posted July 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 As most everyone knows, Wes Welker is rated extremly low because of his injury (Yahoo! Rankings). Does anyone know the status of his knee yet? I keep grabbing him for my #3 in nearly every draft. DeAngelo Williams or Jon Stewart? Owen Daniels' injury progression? LT or Greene? Sidney Rice's injury? Anyone know any specifics about any of these???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamwest237 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Regarding Welker, while he has been a partial participant in practice in the early going, it looks like he's a long way from being himself. Basically, much slower, not as smooth, and rounding off corners and routes. He's got a ways to go before he will be able to take on actual contact. Once he comes back, if he's like all the other post ACL-tear skills guys, he will not be anywhere near as productive his first year back. Given that Welker's bread and butter is his quickness and elusiveness, those 4 year dump offs may end up 5 yards instead of 12. Keep an eye on the Rice injury, if its still bothering him into preseason, I would be selling. I think there are enough touches to go around in Carolina for both RB's but Williams is still the 1A and Stew the 1B. Not going near Daniels, this is his 3rd ACL injury, he could be done.

Tigris Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Thank you. When did Daniels get his other ACL injuries? Same knee? Welker is my #3 in nearly every draft. Disappointing news right there. I wonder if anyone has ever made a table on returning ACL tear player statistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigris Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Mike Williams looking good in Tampa I guess.... who really knows? For those that are considering Delhomme for ANYTHING - don't. Looks like crap in camp according to a die hard fan I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Jeremichal Finley or Greg Olsen. Finley should be Aaron Rodgers number 1 tight end and Greg Olsen has been said to be very involved in Martz's gunslinging offense. I only wanna keep one tight end on roster. Which one should I keep. I know Olsen was a favorite target of Cutlers. I don't know much about Finley. I'm trading Vince Young for Reggie Bush. I have Brees and Roethlisburger for QB's and I'm going to drop Carson to pick up either Julian Edelman, Mike Williams from Tampa, Marshawn Lynch, or Donald Brown. My running backs are Ryan Matthews, Jamal Charles, Jerome Harrison, and soon to be Reggie Bush. For my WR's I have Desean Jackson, Wes Welker, Percy Harvin, Johnny Knox (who I think will be excellent), and Mike Wallace who is a bigtime sleeper.

Tigris Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I've been going the Greg Jennings route lately in my drafts. Usually been my 3rd rounder in a 12 man league (I pick #5). Gore, Peyton Manning, Jennings. Pretty strong 3 if I can get Manning in round #2 on the way back... which has been happening A LOT. Everyone is WR crazy these days.

JC Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Mike Wallace Or Mike Williams (Tampa Bay, Syracuse headcase) I like Mike Wallace because he is going to be the new Santonio in their offense and he just burns people. Could have a huge second year. I like Mike Williams because the guy is going to be a number 1 threat and is playing like it this preseason. 3 catches for 83 yards tonight. Dude is going to get a lot of balls thrown his way. No one in my league has an idea who the fuck he is, but once the season starts..I have a feeling they will.

[/quote] In a fourteen team league he'll be 4th round, early... the ADP on him in a 12 team is start of 5th... with 2 additional picks in rounds 1-3 that alone moves him up a 1/2 round. If you see him there mid to late 4th grab the dude up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
