Rankings Game

[Bunkamania]

Is the Deadline Sept 1st?

I've been afk for awhile.

Also, I'm stoked that we're doing this again. Next to my 20 year old fantasy league, this is a close 2nd in excitement.

It has been excellent. A lot work and thinking and second guessing yourself. Also found it gives me another view on players around the NFL. Picking top 5 or 10 players seems easy enough ( even though often really off) it's when you dig down to the last third it gets really hard, at least for me. Much more thinking then deciding on bench players for a 12 team league for sure.

Finished my QB and RB rankings... WR is a little more difficult. Want to put them up, but injuries will likely occur and I'm gonna try and not "update" my list.

Not used to this patience thing though.

Atta boy Sammy! Ice is broken.

Shit, I'm not afraid to change them so why not post 'em? BTW. I meant to move Fitz in front of Winston

 

[TKOSpikes]

Ahh well. Drafts are starting. What's the point of ranking and arguing as much (for AP it seems), if there's no draft to hold me to it!

QB
1. Drew Brees - 5000 and 35 in his sleep
2. Carson Palmer - career year coming, had him first, but John Brown's concussion looming...
3. Aaron Rodgers - very good, but I'll slot him here.
4. Cam Newton - I don't see him throwing as many TD as last season.
5. Russell Wilson - I really don't see him throwing as many TD as last season.
6. Andrew Luck - yes, I'm falling for him again... what weapons though!
7. Eli Manning - getting better under this system, 16 games guaranteed.
8. Phillip Rivers - reunited with the Whiz, healthy Keenan Allen, bad defense.
9. Ben Roethlisberger - doesn't need more than AB, but it would be nice... slow start, Bell return upgrade?
10. Matthew Stafford - spread 'em and chuck 'em... just watch the picks and it could be a nice payoff!
11. Jaemis Winston - bumping him up from 14...along with Evans and VJax.
12. Blake Bortles - more efficient, less catching up? Still proven to me, but a little regression.
13. Derek Carr - continued progression? better surroundings?
14. Tyrod Taylor - 3400 passing? 500 rushing? Mid to high 20's in combined TD? not homerism is it?
15. Tom Brady - okay...four games are being missed this time... still think he can approach 3400 and 30.
16. Ryan Tannehill - throwing more than I thought?
17. Matt Ryan - yards are usually there... TD have to go up a little.... right?
18. Ryan Fitzcrapstick - okay, I'll bite. Chan Gailey. Marshall. Decker. Forte.
19. Joe Flacco - steady Eddie.
20. Kirk Cousins - you like that?
21. Jay Cutler - would be higher if he wasn't a int machine...
22. Robert Griffin - let's give Hue some credit, and admit there is talent around him... has he changed?
23. Alex Smith - boring steadiness, low picks help keep him ahead of the rest overall.
24. Marcus Mariota - finishes 'er off.

RB
1. Adrian Peterson - 1600 and 12 floor.... all day.
2. David Johnson - no, it's not falling for Jeremy Hill again, it's probably 320 touches.
3. Todd Gurley - amazing talent... little Peterson even. Not as much scoring going on in LA than Zona.
4. Le'Veon Bell - getting under the 1300/10 TD projection chart on my list... insert best player in league October onward. EDIT - one more game is one more game... (from 7 to 4... and 1300/10, to 1400/12)
5. Lamar Miller - you know, I'm gonna buy the hype for once... probably a death kiss for those that like him, sorry.
6. LeSean McCoy - okay....this is homerism... but I just see a ton of work for Shady.... TD will go up.
7. Doug Martin - Kuetter likes him the most I think... repeatable year, imo.
8. Jeremy Hill - this is falling fir Jeremy Hill again!!
9. Jamaal Charles - I called him my "bust", but if I'm wrong his talent is undeniable.
10. Mark Ingram - still gotta stay on the field kid!
11. Devonta Freeman - on the Coleman too long, getting stale... found my Freeman ticket in the trash.
12. Ezekiel Elliott - bouncing around... not sure Rawls or Hyde deserve to be ahead of him, so...
13. Thomas Rawls - nearing to 1200 and 8. I still think this is a good running back... gambling on health.
14. Frank Gore - this is not a typo.
15. Latavius Murray - why is everyone, including coaches and teammates always looking over his shoulder?
16. C.J. Anderson - Treff guarantees it!
17. Melvin Gordon - look, he did nothing last year, yet they fed him the rock and he caught 33 balls... progression/health gamble.
18. Matt Forte - I admit, Bilal Powell scares me... and Forte has never been a goal line back for some strange reason.
19. Carlos Hyde - headaches... gotta hedge my bet with this guy... come out of a game clean will ya!
20. Duke Johnson - I'm pretty sure he just takes over... Crowell will ravage a few TD, but I'm not worried.
21. Eddie Lacy - idk, I'm scared? Aren't you scared?
22. Jonathan Stewart - back ups are just atrocious.... volume. Up by Gore if not for Cam.
23. DeMarco Murray - just dropped him until I couldn't justify it.... don't like it.
24. Spencer Ware - just in case I am right about JC.
25. Jeremy Langford - gotta have some moments, right? Maybe we're all wrong about this guy?
26. Ameer Abdullah - fast paced offense, we'll see.
27. Giovanni Bernard - EDIT: totally forgot Gio, gotta fit him in here and take out my hedge bet (Coleman)
28. LeGarrette Blount - oh those Patriot games!
29. Rashaad Jennings - he's starting and useful, I like the rookie but Jennings has earned a leash.
30. James Starks - I mean, I'm scared of Lacy!
31. Ryan Mathews - way too low for someone with his talent and competition... slap me now!
32. Matt Jones - see Ryan Mathews minus the track record.
33. Arian Foster - promise me 16 and he goes up... I'll gamble for 8 though. Ajayi does nothing for me.
34. Chris Ivory - interesting backfield here... giving Ivory a slight edge...
35. T.J. Yeldon - ....but I think both will be used and productive.
36. Tevin Coleman - Coleman comes back in the mix! (Dion Lewis injury update)

WR
1. Antonio Brown - pretty good player, you should see him.
2. Odell Beckham - guess you can be in my top two... TD maker.
3. Julio Jones - gotta drop him with "tweaked" ankle news.... pretty tough to go further than this though.
4. Jordy Nelson - yeah, I know... but if he's healthy.
5. A.J. Green - my Lamar Miller of WR... targets are a coming though.
6. DeAndre Hopkins - I seem to spend a lot of time knocking him down... still don't hate him.
7. Keenan Allen - speaking of target monsters...
8. Dez Bryant - headaches here too, but Romo effects him... a little bit.
9. Amari Cooper - projecting an Allen Robinson leap.
10. Mike Evans - bumping big Mike up... TD's are going up.
11. Allen Robinson - Hi, I'm Allen Robinson.
12. Brandon Marshall - old men should have been my title.
13. Sammy Watkins - second half surge shows potential.
14. Alshon Jeffrey - something tells me another dozen Ques tags will be revisiting... hope not.
15. T.Y. Hilton - steadier than I thought.
16. Michael Floyd - lots of points in Zona!
17. Donte Moncrief - expecting better things in Indy.
18. Randall Cobb - back in the slot with Jordy keeping the outside respected.
19. Brandin Cooks - inconsistent but numbers will be there in the end.
20. Demaryius Thomas - big plays are still available... no more stud, but talent is talent.
21. Eric Decker - all he does is catch TD! Peyton Manning, Tim Tebow...it doesn't matter!
22. Larry Fitzgerald - old man theme keepin on...
23. Doug Baldwin - no respect... I admit it.
24. Tyler Lockett - kid's got talent!
25. Marvin Jones - TD reception leader for the Lions.
26. Jeremy Maclin - Alex Smith syndrome....but talent.
27. Jarvis Landry - loads of targets....end zone anyone?
28. DeSean Jackson - top 20 in second half last year....
29. Kelvin Benjamin - I am a little worried about him showing projected potential...
30. John Brown - headaches, headaches.... still too high if he can't play, but still hoping...
31. Julian Edelman - oh those Patriot games!
32. Jordan Matthews - did you know through weeks 1-14 last season, he was WR 40?
33. Golden Tate - Lions will be chucking. Boldin takes some away from Tate's slot.
34. Vincent Jackson - Taking the rookie (Thomas) out. Old man theme rolling.
35. Rishard Matthews - no appreciation by the Dolphins for this guy... I don't get it.
36. Tavon Austin - 1000 total yards with a TD regression? Why not?


Go Bills!

That's three edits already! Why did I scratch the itch?... @Sam Sportboy I blame you


Four edits: John Brown back in action, Aug 22nd... dead line approaching
Five edits: Zeke down, Julio down, JMatt down, Lockett up..... Aug 26th...tick tock
Six edits: (same day), stop me now!
Seven edits: Romo's back gets RG3 into my rankings. Dez and Hyde drop a little. Aug 27th
Eight edits: Winston bump, Evans bump, DJax bump, VJax bump...Aug 29th

@MilkSpiller22 , yoy don't have any tricks up your sleeve do you?

 

[TKOSpikes]

Well crap... just hearing of the Bell suspension. Gonna have to bump him up from seven to four... yes, one game makes a difference.

Knew I should have waited...
