Message Board Braggin' Rights League

[TREFF]

my thoughts exactly. even with the rookie WR being the more talented one (which is often the case, and the reason for them being drafted in the first place) they don't just automatically get the starting role over the veteran WR. Most time they are worked into certain packages that don't have complex reads or route adjustments, at least for the beginning of the season. The A J Greens of the world are few and far between. Even Julio Jones had a quiet first half of his rookie year. And those were two of the better years by rookie WRs since Boldin/Moss.

Most recent evidence to this point. .Tavon Austin and Coradelle Patterson. I can't think of one single person who didn't know that they instantly became the midst talented WR's on their teams the second they signed the contract. . Where either of them major fantasy contributers last year? Yes Patterson had a great end of the year, but wasn't a guy you HAD to have on your team.

And those two are head and shoulders, talent wise, over every receiver in this year's class, with the line exception of Watkins.. and is very arguable that they both were drafted into better situations than Watkins as well.

Does anyone want to make a bragging rights bet with me... I claim that there will be at least 4 rookie WRs in the top 30 WR... Any takers??

 

[TKOSpikes]

Ya got me milk. I'd take that bet at 2 but with 4 you've made it easy.

Stakes? ?
You realize there was exactly 1 last year right?

I realize that, and that's why I am saying that this season is different... I am never a rookie person in fantasy football, but I am very high on this rookie WR class...

Stakes are some steaks... Buy me a steak if I win... if I lose I will buy you a steak... if we never meat eachother then no stakes...

or we can make a You have to say something on SportsHoopla bet...

Was that on purpose? Not the spelling Nazi or nothing it just made me laugh.

 

[TREFF]

Or possibly, as a nod to the old cola wars, and this might be more fitting given that Foot has turned over a new leaf, how about "Foot classic"?

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Dwayne bow, Emanuel sanders, golden tate, reggie wayne, ,Marques colston, torrey smith, Percy Harvin(think he will get hurt again), Wes Welker(think he will get hurt), eric decker, Mike Wallace

Non PPR

Those are thr 10 that I think the top 4 will be better than... Interesting that I took 2 Broncos to not be top 30...

 

[MilkSpiller22]

yes that was on purpose... took me an extra minute to type that out...

 

[MilkSpiller22]

You up for changing your screen name to Foot'spinkytoe? Or Footsminime?

Why would I change my name to either of those, I don't mind it, just want to know why you would choose those screen names...

 

[TKOSpikes]

So who are the four to whom you're referring?

Watkins
Benjamin
Cooks
Beckham?

 

[TKOSpikes]

shit, my bad... Evans of course

 

[Sam Sportboy]

[MilkSpiller22]

shit, my bad... Evans of course

yea, evans is top 4 rookie...

But I also think that there will be 10 rookies in the top 50 WR...

fine maybe only 7 or 8

 

[TREFF]

Why would I change my name to either of those, I don't mind it, just want to know why you would choose those screen names...

Oh I don't know. .probably because when you toss it outlandish, ill advised bets like this one, you remind me of the old school for.
So now it's 4 in top 30 and 10 top 50?

Maybe I am exaggerating, but I really like the rookies this season... and it is not just the big 4(evans,Watkins,Benjamin,cooks)

Why don't u guys just do an avi bet? Forget the steak nonsense and name change. Avi bets are easy. Just need to figure out a length of time.
