I would switch calvin johnson and beckham, i think johnson will bounce back and i think with a healthy cruz, beckham want ball like he did last year. Other than that ur list is one of the best one I've seen this year.

Thanks Dawg. The Beckham position was designed to differentiate from what I think other lists will look like. But who knows-it was just fun to put it together.

If Cruz returns as anything more than just another guy out there, he'd be one of the very very extreme few skill position players to have have successfully recovered from a torn patellar tendon..the odds are extremely against him being anything similar to what he used to be

 

[averagejoe]

@Dawg , I don't know why you just don't play along? Submit a list. We just do it for braggin' rights. It's not like any of us will get them all correct.

But it will still give us something to talk about mid-season.

Do it bruh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two Bills receivers in the top 30? Now that's funny... Favre coming out of retirement?

 

[TREFF]

@The Foot ..sent you a trade offer involving you're #12 WR two days ago. ..still waiting

 

[Ram Tough]

I thought the deadline for Qbs and RBs was August 1st?

 

[wilwhite]

I thought the deadline for Qbs and RBs was August 1st?

I dunno Bandit..lol

Everyone else had to have them in before the Foster injury

Please don't kill me Wil

RANKINGS GAME COMMISSIONER RESPONSE

After a thorough investigation, it has been determined that Bandit destroyed his phone in order to hide his pre-Foster-injury rankings.

In order to protect the integrity of the Rankings Game, a ranking for Foster must be included. In the course of our investigation, it was determined that last season Bandit had the highest ranking for Foster among all participants, ranking him at #6, one full standard of deviation above the median of 13.5. The median ranking this year for Foster is #7 with a standard deviation of 3.4 - using this criteria, a ranking of 4 would be appropriate.

However, there have been changes in coaching and key personnel for the Texans. In consideration of all of the above, Foster will be registered as being ranked at the #5 spot by Bandit. The Rankings Game and its licensed properties strongly recommend that in future Bandit submit his rankings on time. Bandit can appeal to the Rankings Game Commissioner, who will pretend to hear his evidence and then wait an inexcusable amount of time before saying the penalty is upheld. (Bandit could then take the Rankings Game to court, where every decision by the Commissioner is invariably overturned.)

So the inquiry reveals that Bandit was more than "generally aware."
Moving forward, can we refer to this as the PSI Rule?

 

[The Foot]

lolol

 

[The Foot]

Hey Treff I dont want to move tate or williams.

 

[averagejoe]

Joe's WR... man, and I thought the 36 RB was tough. The last 5 or 6 WR changed multiple times daily. Even today at the deadline I hesitate on the bottom feeders. I'm sure some of my comments will give you a chuckle (especially if you disagree), so enjoy:

1 Dez Bryant -has found the end zone 41 times in last 3 seasons combined, most of any WR.
2 Calvin Johnson -has the best 3-year yardage average of any WR. Should bounce back.
3 Julio Jones -Roddy is declining and Julio's targets are picking up.
4 Demaryius Thomas -Kubiak is run-first coach, but did have stud Andre Johnson in Houston too.
5 Jordy Nelson -Rodgers' main man
6 Antonio Brown -don't trust Big Ben to repeat his 2014 passing numbers.
7 T.Y. Hilton -undervalued in a top-notch offense.
8 Randall Cobb -money.
9 A.J. Green -was on pace for 1300 yard season. Contract year. Led all WR in yards-per-route-run.
10 Odell Beckham -body of work is short & that's usually not a good payoff the next season.
11 Alshon Jeffery -assumes lead role with Marshall gone.
12 Emmanuel Sanders -rumors suggest a drop in new Kubiak offense. Until Manning audibles - Omaha!
13 Keenan Allen -has two 70-catch seasons & staff promises to use him more.
14 Jeremy Maclin -reunited w/ Ried.
15 Brandin Cooks -warning - Saints spread the ball around & now are run-1st?
16 DeAndre Hopkins -no established QB - caution!
17 Jordan Matthews -lots of mouths to feed in this offense. Don't trust Bradford to stay healthy.
18 Steve Smith Sr. -rookie WR on other side; & Trestman's 1st years on new teams is historic.
19 Mike Evans -Might be overrated with rookie QB.
20 Julian Edelman -he's a reliable safety valve for destroyer of phones Brady.
21 Kelvin Benjamin -talented WR on a run-1st team, & with a run-1st QB. That's 2 strikes.
22 Sammy Watkins -no established QB - caution!
23 Jarvis Landry -seems to have established chemistry with Tanny.
24 Andre Johnson -had 900 yards without Luck as his QB last year. Imagine that?
25 Amari Cooper -1st rookie WR drafted.
26 Charles Johnson -established himself as Bridgewater's go-to guy. Wallace could cut in to that.
27 Anquan Boldin -defies odds every year & is Kaepernick's reliable target.
28 John Brown -102 targets from a trio of QB not named Palmer.
29 DeSean Jackson -RG3 can't be trusted & Cousins faltered too. This could be bad.
30 Brian Quick -Shoulder surgery, might be ready for camp. Can 61% comp % Foles deliver?
31 Golden Tate -300 of Tate's yards should go back to Megaron, which would drop Tate near 1K max.
32 Allen Robinson -its JAX - and its a rookie QB. Calm down.
33 Brandon Marshall -Geno Smith is shaky at best, but Marshall does have a knack for catching the ball.
34 Breshad Perriman -5th rookie WR drafted on very WR-needy team.
35 Martavis Bryant -sources point to him to take over the WR2 spot.
36 Dwayne Bowe -in KC, many passes were to RB (Charles), not the WR; & CLE did pass more than KC.

I'm perfectly fine with that. Sorry about this guys, but unlike Brady, I will accept any punishment the commissioner deems to bestow upon me. I thought about destroying two cell phones and my laptop to get rid of any evidence, but then decided that I was married to a supermodel and have a perfect fucking life outside of football so four games without Belichek screaming at me seemed like a dream vacation.

Sorry Wil, last change, I swear.***

Boy, do I feel like an ass. How in holy footballhell did I not know about Bell's knee/Achilles surgeries??? I am officially way off his wagon, small as it was.



No penalty for swearing, right? I feel bad, and won't get sucked in early next year. Love you Wil

--had to flip flop Alf and Lat ...and give Ameer and Gray more love.

I think that's the highest I've seen McCoy. Would you mind telling me what you're thinking about the Bills running game this year?
