1,871 yards for julio compared to OBJ 1,450
Only 50 more yards than allen robinson...

That's right. 400 less yards, yet less than 10 fantasy points away. Ryan and Julio just aren't TD makers. Not dogging Julio. He's still top three by a mile. TD usually is very erratic, but Julio has never delivered 10.

Just finished my draft for one of my standard leagues with a bunch of buddies of mine... Didn't do any prep but here's my roster:

QBs: Aaron Rodgers (4), Phillip Rivers (11)
RBs: Devonta Freeman (2), Matt Jones (5), Melvin Gordon (8), Rashad Jennings (9)
WRs: DeAndre Hopkins (1), Kelvin Benjamin (3), Doug Baldwin (6), Emmanuel Sanders (7), Marvin Jones (12), Tavon Austin (14)
TEs: Ladarius Green (10), Jared Cook (15)
DST: Jets (13)
K: Gano (16)

Fairly risky group, but overall I'm pretty satisfied with it. Couldn't believe Rodgers was there in the 4th.


Late response but i like your roster. Lots of upside. Watch the Waivers for TE. Maybe grab dwayne allen if hes available

Yep the touchdowns are the difference but crazy that julio almost had 2,000 yards and i wouldnt be the least shocked if he did eclipse that

I'm with you on this one. Ryan may not ever reach the level we all hope'd he would, but he's more reliable over the course of a season than Eli, and if we're splitting hairs between Julio and Beckham, that's the hair I choose, and imho, Ryan's steady mediocrity wins the day over Eli's roller coasters

Kind of the opposite for me. Ryan has something like two games with three TD passes in his last 30 games or something like that.

I don't think there's a wrong answer anyway.

IDK about Ryan, much rather have Eli any day. Ryan is on my " must avoid getting stuck with" list

Yep eli for me too. Especially when you play him in the "juicy" matchups. Just raises the ceiling to your team
Seen far too many 100 something games with 3 int's and zero picks- type games from Eli, with guys head hung low and a sour puss smooshed on his face. Could care less if every now and again he hits 400 and 3. That kind if crap rears is head far too often at the worst times. I'll take Ryans 200 something and 1-3 every week, at least it won't screw me

Agreed on the waiver watch... Still waiting for some good news to surface on Ladarius Green. I'm not too worried though. There are some decent TE options still available on waivers.

Top available:
1. Ebron
2. Clay
3. Cameron
4. Rudolph
5. Walford

Supposedly ready week 1..I agree with Hambombs..but if you dislike Ebron, I would suggest Walford, I see a big year, catch and yardage wise
If Green doesn't start practicing this week then I will probably pick one of them up. He has been saying all offseason that he will be ready week 1.

Get both on your
Team. Just test drive. You
Never know
Well I don't really have anyone that I'm willing to drop just yet... Green would be the only candidate should he not start practicing this week.
