None Shall Pass...

[wilwhite]

Let's make this official for 2022.
Here are the current top 12 RB and WR being drafted per Fantasy Pros' ADP for standard scoring.

If you are new to this game (going on year 8 now), it may be hard to imagine before the season has started, yet historically and fairly consistently, about HALF will not finish in the top 12 at their respective position by the end of the season.

Please rank all 12 players below starting with the most-likely to miss at 1 down to the least-likely to miss at 12. You can make as many adjustments as you want until kickoff on Thursday September 8th.

So just to be clear, if I believe that Dalvin Cook is most likely to finish outside of the top 12 and Austin Ekeler is least likely to finish outside of the top 12 I would rank them 1 and 12 respectively?

Dont give me that ole concert excuse. The Northern Pikes arent even together anymore.

I would accept the excuse about Queen Elizabeth tho.

 

[Barilko]

can always count on @averagejoe

how many folks would think of the Pikes....


actually i drove from Mtl to Tarana..to see Roxy Music 47 years after seeing them for the 1st time

 

[averagejoe]

how many folks would think of the Pikes....

30 years old and this 1 is still my favorite:

 

[SmokingMonkey]

before week 4 kicks off, quick check-in...



Chubb, Barkley, Swift, Taylor, Henry, CMC...exactly 50% so far!
Harris, Cook, Mixon still in striking distance
Javonte, Ekeler, Kamara are not off to good starts if they are to finish top 12



Diggs, Kupp, Hill, AJB, Jefferson, Adams....another 50% hit rate!
Higgins, Lamb, Deebo are still near the lead pack
Evans and Higgins need some TD help to rejoin the herd
Allen injury has him far behind

Thanks for posting!!!
Still early, but fantasy history cannot be stopped.
We never think it will happen to the guys we pick.

Just for record, never in a million years would i have thought Drake London (or anyone from ATL) to pop up in a top 12 leader list.

Lions are the ones that blow my mind - ARSB, Swift, and Williams are all top options on the year, lol

 

[TREFF]

well after 2 weeks, wasn't the Chargers FB a "leader" in FPT's? I'm not too worried, or enthused, whichever side you choose, about much of anything yet.

Ha ha ha. My RBs which I thought I had a handle on are about as wrong as they can be, and my WRs which I tossed off quickly are pretty good.

2022 RESULTS
@TREFF @femurov @Barilko @SmokingMonkey @MilkSpiller22 @HaroldSeattle @wilwhite @jwolt92 @ZepTepi @Clayton

@TKOSpikes is this year's winner!

In both categories, 7 of the 12 finished in the top 12. So both RB and WR had a 58% success rate.

The ranking made the scoring easier too. Everyone took a hit on Jonathan Taylor and Cooper Kupp. Some not as bad as others.

The 5 original RB from August to not make the top 12 at the end of the season were:
Joe Mixon (14th); Kamara (18); Swift (24); Taylor (35) and Javonte Williams (86).

The 5 original WR to not make the final 12 were:
Mike Evans (16th); Higgins (17); Kupp (24); Deebo Samuel (34) and Keenan Allen (41).

Here's how the top 12 RB and WR finished (in standard scoring). Josh Jacobs finishes first overall for the RB and he wasn't even drafted in the top 12 at the start of the season.
