Fantasy Football News and Rumors

Of the bunch the Green one seems the most crazy. He had the table set to be really good but for some reason his head didn't do its job.

He was concussed.

He was concussed.

I am aware

Per Rotoworld:

Eagles waived WR Dorial Green-Beckham. Green-Beckham (6'5/237) has built-in-a-lab type size to go with 4.49 speed, but he hasn't been able to put it together at the NFL level after being drafted No. 40 overall by the Titans in 2015.

Spoiler: rookie hater material

Size, speed, great hands and nailed the agility drills at the combine? Yet couldn't make it in the NFL. Tisk tisk tisk.

I bought into this guy and was wrong.

Think you made alright at the end though.

I love the part where this is a "situation to watch this summer".

Which situation will we not be watching?

Well doubt we'll be watching who wins the starting job at RB for the Cards, Steelers or Cowboys.

This early? Injuries, my friend...otherwise I agree with you. Crazy early...

True very early. At this point the only rookie RB I own is Mixon, I'm a little surprised that my expectations year one are a tab bit lower then some others. Love, love him just can't see him going straight to go to start the season. Won't complain if he did though.

Not incorporating my personal feelings this year; I think you are correct in this assessment. In my own somewhat convoluted rankings, he ended up being my number two choice over Cook and McCaffrey and only behind that Fournette guy.

 

[Chef99]

Damnit, I love that Cook, though! It's gotta be a Vikings thing.

Sounds like my rankings.

 

[Chef99]

Caveat:

Jamaal Willams and Aaron Jones ended up pretty high!

And by high, I mean in my rankings!

His game tape is impressive. Explosive and to top it off a good pass catcher. We all say we discount the combine, but not sure that is so. Before the combine, many were touting him above Fournette, after the combine his stock drop considerably. Think his true value is in between the high and the low. More of a dynasty rookie due to the situation year one, but I like him a lot.

 

[femurov]

I think all of the rookie RBs are overvalued this year. Especially in redrafts. I wouldn't be surprised if none of them were the #1 RB for their team in week 1.

Agree with the exception of Fournette. I'd be shocked if he wasn't starting day one.

Not disagreeing or agreeing. But this was on Rotoworld yesterday:

The Panthers' website expects Jonathan Stewart to "see the bulk of the carries" despite the addition of Christian McCaffrey.
Per team writer Max Henson, "everyone from head coach Ron Rivera to running backs coach Jim Skipper has insisted that Stewart's role will not change." While Stewart out-carrying McCaffrey would be a surprise after the Panthers drafted McCaffrey at No. 8 overall, it's true that fantasy drafters have been sleeping on Stewart as a significant threat to McCaffrey's ceiling and floor, particularly in the touchdown-scoring department.

I never ever expected McCaffrey to start. He'll be a jack of all trades. In PPR he'll be valuable, in standard leagues not so much. Heck of a pass catcher. I expect the Panthers will use him in the slot position a lot.

Fournette has the card that says go directly to go.

 

[femurov]

The thing about McCaffrey, though, is that he will probably be on the field with Stewart. I could see him lining up in the slot a good amount of time, and taking the 3rd down back role from the get go. In PPR leagues, this could put him in a good position for steady points.
