delusions of grandeur Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Haven't been paying attention return-wise that much, but aside from looking at all-purpose charts, I'd say Randall Cobb should be solid in a return league. Unless it's completely return-heavy, then you definitely want guys who have a good chance for offensive touches too, or it's to boom or bust. Spiller may be another good one in this format, because whiel I think Freddy J will be the man as long as he's healthy, Spiller can also carve out a role just with return and offensive chances, even without injury.

Chavez Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Haven't been paying attention return-wise that much, but aside from looking at all-purpose charts, I'd say Randall Cobb should be solid in a return league. Unless it's completely return-heavy, then you definitely want guys who have a good chance for offensive touches too, or it's to boom or bust. Cobb had 25 catches and 2 rushes last season; I'd think that Donald Driver will continue to be less of a factor and Jordy Nelson will also fall off a bit, and some of that action may go Cobb's way, so he may get somewhere around 45 touches from scrimmage, and probably will be good for 2-3 tds.

Genetic Jackhammer Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Trindon Holliday of the Texans. 3 return TDs in 4 preseason games. This kid has wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordFairlane Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 If Sproles is still the Saints KR and PR, he's gold in a league like this. Might want to take a look at Jaquizz Rodgers, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yo mama Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Percy Harvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Sproles and Antonio Brown finished 1 & 2 last year in all-purpose yards. Harvin would be the next guy that I target here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gourdeau Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 By Far Antonio Brown, he's returning kicks, and looks like Ben's #1 target with Wallace's hold out earlier, and with the running game in shambles, they shall throw the bombs!

gilthorp Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Well I thought Chris Rainey was taking over Pit's return game? Why would they put Brown at risk in that role? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Well I thought Chris Rainey was taking over Pit's return game? Why would they put Brown at risk in that role? I might check the same about Harvin, or anyone with an expanded role in the offense. That's indeed a risk with return/starters that they get pulled from returns to keep them healthy, but the upside to that is it can usually mean they make up for it with offensive touches.

MnLefty Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I might check the same about Harvin, or anyone with an expanded role in the offense. Unless things have changed recently that I hadn't heard Harvin will not be the primary KR, but will still see some action at the spot. They don't want to wear him out or get him hurt there, but they realize he can be a KR weapon so they will likely 'pick their spots' where they need to use him... late/close game, need a momentum changer, etc...
