Who Are Your Top Five At The Skill Positions? PPR

[Bridgeburner]

Not dynasty. Or how you would draft them. But how you think they would finish.

QB -
1. Rodgers - Bounces back this year.
2. Wilson - Takes the next step.
3. Newton - Falls back a little but the top three will be a pick-em.
4. Brees - Back in the top five.
5. Dalton - Nobody wants to admit it but this guy is a good fantasy quarterback.

RB -
1. AP - Yep. The old man does it again.
2. Zeke - A #2 Debut. Stud talent and stud OL. What could go wrong?
3. Bell - He'll have the most PPG but get tangled up in his skirt and break a nail 3-4 times.
4. Gurley Man - A good season for the second year man but not quite the top of the pile.
5. Lacy - The fat man is a bad man. Wait for it. He returns to the top 5.

WR -
1. AB - Could seriously break a lot of records this year if he and Ben can both stay healthy.
2. Julio - Without CJ he's the position's unquestioned king-freak.
3. Beckham - If he can keep outa the girl-fights this year it could be a big one.
4. AJ Green - Target monster this year.
5. Golden Tate - Focus of that offense without CJ. Has proven to be a damn good player.

TE -
1. Gronk. Because he's Gronk.
2. Travis Kelce - A year late in giving Gronk a run for his money but he blows up this year.
3. Zach Ertz - Takes the next step as others take a step back.
4. Jordan Reed - PPG rivals Gronk but can't stay on field again.
5. Eric Ebron - Makes the leep.

[TKOSpikes]

Rodgers - on the band wagon of a bounce back
Palmer - career year
Big Ben - healthy year
Newton - "down year"
Wilson - rushing keeps him ahead of Luck, imo


Bell - healthy year, Faulk/Tomlinson year
Peterson - cyborg
Gurley - Jeff Fisher workload
Hill - just had a bad year..............with 11 TD!
Shady - averaged 12 points a game last year, will get lots of touches


Ant B - pretty not bad
ODB - the new Moss?
Julio - steady if not spectacular
Jordy - Packers MVP to the rescue
Robinson - better situation than Hopkins, imo


Gronk - pretty not bad
Reed - health only issue
Olsen - regression, but consistency
Ertz - breakout year
Green - Ben/Haley don't throw to TE's blah, blah, blah... Heath Miller is not Ladarius Green.


Pretty hard to get that fifth guy in there... picking from a bunch in a tier, but hey, I'll play.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

QB

Palmer Best trio of WRs in the league
Brees Will have to throw a lot to try and keep up.
Bortles Really nice WR duo with A. Rob. and Hurns.
Wilson May throw a little less, but still enough
Cam Regress, but still top 5

RB

David Johnson Remember PPR, he's going to shine this year.
Gurly Stud, but not a big pass catching threat
Freeman Regression, but he'll still catch a ton of passes and be in top 5 in PPR leagues
Bell If....he can stay healthy, big if
AP Work load will be cut back, still top 5

WR

Ant B As long as Ben is healthy for the season
Julio Could edge Brown out
Odell Ditto
Allen Robinson Future looks bright with a young promising QB
Hopkins Another year, another new crappy QB, can he really do this again? I not betting against him.

TE

Reed Health permitting
Gronk He'll miss Brady those 4 games
Olsen Steady, dependable
Walker Ditto
Kelce Had to put someone here, he's a good a guess as any.

 

[averagejoe]

how you think they would finish

Time to shake things up.
This is how they finish:

QB
Brees - the guy averages the most yards and TD in a 3-year stretch for a reason.
Rodgers
Roelisberger - all he needs to do is stay healthy
Newton - Clark Kent sets in a little
Rivers - you won't be laughing in December
Notables missing: Luck - he's turning into a more-expensive version of Cutler (turnovers) are killing him; Wilson - 2015 was a fluke once Lynch and Rawls were out.

RB
Hyde - Chip Kelly offense
Lamar Miller - Houston ran the ball an average of 551 times over the last 2 seasons.
Gurley - let's face it, L.A. has nothing else.
Bell -
Ingram - added him for his PPR.
Notables missing: AP - he'll finish 6th, but since this is PPR, he still is less involved in the passing game; Elliott - just love watching the "can't miss" guys come crashing down to Earth; McCoy - might help if the guy would stay healthy, and he doesn't.

WR
Cooks - crazy
Keenan Allen - crazy x2
Hilton - has Foot hacked Joe's account?
Antonio Brown -
Beckham -
Notables missing: Hopkins - don't trust Oz; Dez - don't trust Romo. Julio - career high 200 targets won't happen again, can it?

TE
Gronk
Olsen
Jordan Cameron - Gase in DEN = J. Thomas. Gase in CHI = M. Bennett. Gas in MIA.... boom.
Julius Thomas
Reed
Notables missing: Kelce - Alex Smith just doesn't pass enough; Walker - training wheels come off for Mariota so he gets less looks; Eifert - too many mouths to feed in Cincy; Ebron - has he ever panned out?

[TKOSpikes]

Now I feel silly! Didn't see the PPR part.

I'd take out Hill and drop in Forte.

Might throw Kelce into the TE mix too, at the expense of Green.

 

[Across The Field]

QB:
1. Aaron Rodgers - bounceback with healthy Jordy
2. Cam - big year, especially with Benjamin back in the fold
3. Andrew Luck - big bounceback with his own health and progression of weapons
4. Russell Wilson - a lot to like here, I think he surpasses last year
5. Brees - no signs of slowing down

RB:
1. Gurley - he's a stud, and he'll be toting the rock a ton. If he gets hurt, though, no bueno.
2. Zeke - what's not to love? He'd be a top 5 back on damn near any team, but he landed in the perfect spot
3. Bell - assuming he's healthy, he'll have another big year
4. Lamar Miller - solid RB in a scheme that will make him look even better, especially with increased touches
5. AP - why doubt the guy?

WR:
1. AB - no question, the #1 WR and likely should be #1 overall player in the fantasy world, especially PPR
2. Julio - headed for a HUGE year, IMO
3. AJ Green - here come the targets
4. ODB - I like his spot, especially with their rookie WR taking off some of the heat (and possibly Cruz back?)
5. Hopkins - no matter who plays QB, he produces. He had big games with Brandon frickin Weeden

TE:
1. Gronk - duh.
2. Greg Olsen - just keeps putting up big numbers, and this year will be no different
3. Eiffert - if he and Dalton stay healthy, he may end up #2
4. Julius Thomas - I expect big things from many of the players on this offense
5. Jordan Reed - Cousins loves him

 

[Bridgeburner]

I like Ben if he can stay healthy I'm just not banking on it.

Some nice lists here. Nice to see some go out on a limb a little.
