Brentastic Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Do people really think Eddie Royal is still a breakout candidate ? I'm also surprised that people think quizz is finally gonna get some love. It's been the same story with him since his rookie year (2-3 years now). Rookies I like a lot: Kendall Wright - I think he's one of the two best WRs in this year's rookie class Alshon Jeffery - the other rookie WR I like from this class David Wilson - Bradshaw is always dinged. He plays, but is questionable a lot. If he misses time, Wilson will capitalize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentastic Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 he was a rookie last year Was he? Ok, well he still has a chance then. Seems like he's been talked about longer than just a season. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemingd Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 he was a rookie last year Um, no. He signed with SD as a UFA because he's got 4 years completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondersen Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I think Randall Cobb will be last year's Jordy Nelson. http://www.spamaku.com/NFL Anyone agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think by the end of the year he plays the slot and owns it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joose Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 It amazes me how much Josh Gordon is going under the radar right now, the kid could win the starting job from Greg Little by the end of the year, he is a stub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 It amazes me how much Josh Gordon is going under the radar right now, the kid could win the starting job from Greg Little by the end of the year, he is a stub. He's raw but talented. And has picked up a little more each preaseason game. He was blasted for poor play against the Packers and had a nice outing in practice and in game against the Eagles. And if he takes Greg Little's job, who would be WR2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 It amazes me how much Josh Gordon is going under the radar right now, the kid could win the starting job from Greg Little by the end of the year, he is a stub. He still has a rookie QB behind a bad o-line throwing to him. Not his fault, but two things that are going to limit his upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennykravitz2004 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Here's a crazy one: Greg Zuerlein, kicker for the Rams... aka "Greg the Leg" (not to be confused with the guy from the movie "Bachelor Party", Nick the... nevermind). Apparently dude has a legit howitzer of a leg. We're talking Janikowski type range. Indoors for half the season. Rams should be able to be somewhat OK on offense moving the ball, yes?

Big John Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Is he the starting PK this year? Was it Josh Brown who was there in recent years? Sounds like it, Only kicker on their roster and the Rams and most recently the Jets cut Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Alshon Jeffery - the other rookie WR I like from this class I like Alshon in a dynasty league, but don't think there is much chance of him being worth it in a redraft. The guy has a lot of physical talent, but is still pretty raw. Cutler can get him the ball and Marshall should draw the coverage so I definitely think he is in a good place to grow. I just don't think anybody in a redraft should consider him this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzac Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I don't where you get the Huddle ranks Julio "outside the top 15." The site ranks in the top 5 for PPR/Standard leagues. I even checked the ESPN rankings and they have him 10/11 for PPR/Standard. So no, you're not going out on a limb by naming Julio as a possible breakout player. That's not what he said - he was referring to that site he provided a link to . . . As for the Fred Jacksons of this year, here are my responses: 1. none - nobody is going to bust out like he did. But if I had to pick a couple names . . . 2. McGahee - still flying under the radar and I think he'll surprise a lot of people; 3. Cedric Benson - assuming he gets most of the RB touches, lot of points to be had in that GB backfield; 4. David Wilson - he's better than Bradshaw and the latter just can't seem to stay healthy; 5. Michael Turner - not saying that he's going to set the world on fire but I expect him to vastly outproduce his ADP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think anybody in a redraft should consider him this year. Agreed. I am all in on the guy, but CHI was perhaps the worst spot he could have landed. Put him in STL or IND and I would have been much more excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Stanky Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Kendall Hunter Good choice. If Gore goes down I don't see them skipping a beat if they have to turn to Hunter for more reps. I'm huge on David Wilson's talent, but it's also going to take an injury to the starter in order for him to be more than a flex option in good matchups. Sticking with the RB theme, I think Robert Turbin will produce given an opportunity. Lynch having back spasams already could spell trouble for him.

He was blasted for poor play against the Packers and had a nice outing in practice and in game against the Eagles. And if he takes Greg Little's job, who would be WR2? If he takes over for anybody it will be Massaquio (sp?) who has shown very little so far in 3 years. Little and Gordon are the future WR on this team. Sure he has a rookie QB, and a rookie RB who is going to be very rusty. As for the OL it has some problems, but I'm not sure I'd label them bad.

From last night's Rams game: http://www.stltoday....af9cb73d69.html GREG THE LEG Rookie place-kicker Greg Zuerlein missed from 62 yards Thursday, but he made his other five field-goal attempts during the preseason. Only one of his five successful kicks was from less than 52 yards, including a 59-yarder against Baltimore. Truth be told, Zuerlein didn’t like either kick Thursday. He said he hit the ground slightly on the 62-yard miss and struck the 59-yard successful kick with his toe. "Really, two bad kicks," Zuerlein said. "Not the greatest day of field goals for me."
