hooknladder Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Has anyone said that Alex Smith with be a reliable starter in 12 team leagues? Because I'm calling top 10. Not top 5, mind you, but somebody is going to be able to pick him up late and will be starting him by week 4. i seriously doubt that.

detlef Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Mathews top 3? Alex Smith top 10?....-this thread is getting very bold indeed. Well, for starters, the title does say "bold". But, honestly, calling for Smith to be top 10 is not that big a stretch. 1) He was 15 in Huddle scoring last year and Mark Sanchez was 10th, averaging 2 pts a game more. 2) Given the short camp and new coaching staff, I do think they severely shortened the play-book (which worked great). But they opened it up vs NO and he showed what he was capable of when they did. He's now got a full camp and season behind him and I don't think they're going to be able to get away with trying to win the exact same way they did last year. 3) They added two FA WRs and spent their 1st round pick on another, plus they added the kind of back that is good in space (read, will likely get used in the passing game) in the 2nd. I guess asking all of that to add up to 25 yards every game and and an extra TD every 3-4 games doesn't seem like a shot in the dark.

flemingd Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Well, for starters, the title does say "bold". But, honestly, calling for Smith to be top 10 is not that big a stretch. I agree 100%. His ADP on the way-too-early tracking sites is 24, and I'll take him around the 12th or 13th QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papajohn Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Antonio Gates will not finish in the top 10 at TE in any scoring format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papajohn Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 As I have already stated in a few threads I have a huge man crush on BenJarvus Green-Ellis and truly believe he will have an excellent fantasy season for the Bengals, so my (somewhat) bold prediction is: BenJarvus Green-Ellis (BJGE) will be a top 15 Fantasy RB in the 2012 NFL season. So far so good! And: BenJarvis Green-Ellis won't finish the season in the top 25 in terms of RB scoring. He wasn't great with defenses consumed with fear over slowing down the Patriots passing attack. Why will he be now? In your face! (I know it is early in the season, but who knows if I get another chance to brag) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Mike Shanahan will pick one RB to be his workhorse and he will become a fantasy stud for the season. Looking pretty good 5 weeks in (knock on wood). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EW3 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 So far so good! And: In your face! (I know it is early in the season, but who knows if I get another chance to brag) Sorry but BJGE won't finish in the Top 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papajohn Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Sorry but BJGE won't finish in the Top 20. I know. It makes me sad, but at least it looked like it for one week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Sorry but BJGE won't finish in the Top 20. Currently 24 in my league (1pt/10yds, 6pt TDs, no PPR), so not that far off. #20 (Forte) has only 12 more points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EW3 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Currently 24 in my league (1pt/10yds, 6pt TDs, no PPR), so not that far off. #20 (Forte) has only 12 more points. Forte was also out for a 1.5 games due to his injury, but since has bounced back strong and will finish in the Top 15, if not Top 10 if he finishes strong.

nelsosi Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Mike Shanahan will pick one RB to be his workhorse and he will become a fantasy stud for the season. Mostly right. The lack of RZ carries is the only thing holding Alfred back it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papajohn Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Sorry but BJGE won't finish in the Top 20. Before the last week BJGE is: No. 18 in 1 PPR No. 16 in 0,5 PPR No. 15 in 0 PPR He might not finish in the top 15 in all formats, but he will (hopefully) finish in the top 25. Correct me if I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
