Tripleshot Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Every year a few decent players break out big like Fred Jackson and Laurent Robinson did last year(before Fred broke his leg). Who do you think does that this year? Rashard Jennings? Torrey Smith? Edited August 28, 2012 by Tripleshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorttynaz Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I know it's not too common for a rookie WR to pan out in fantasy land, but I'm gonna say Kendall Wright is someone to keep your eyes on. As for RB, try to draft and stash Ryan Williams of AZ. Dude's a STUD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleshot Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 I was more thinking who's that one guy drafted in the middle rounds that's going to blow up and take the fantasy world by storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondString Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Peyton Hillis...should have a pretty good year in a run first offense, good OL, and they will be easing Jamaal into the season. Peyton will get plenty of work, and he's shown he can produce. Not a mid-rounder, more like late or undrafted....Russell Wilson. And how about Greg Olsen? No Shockey to share with this year, and it's not like Cam has a ton of great receiving options...Olsen will be busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I know it's not too common for a rookie WR to pan out in fantasy land, but I'm gonna say Kendall Wright is someone to keep your eyes on. As for RB, try to draft and stash Ryan Williams of AZ. Dude's a STUD! Love Kendall Wright. Watching him play in college, the first impression that went through my mind was how similar his game is how Marvin Harrison played. From what I've seen in preseason, there's nothing that has dispelled that notion for me. This kid could have a very successful and long career in the NFL.

Crazysight Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 No mention of Jake Locker? That's the one who is still really under the radar. When Britt gets back to 100% he is going to be pure 100% fantasy stud. Wilson's another good one, but the cat is already kind of out of the bag with him. Julio Jones and Torrey Smith are prime candidates for breakout at receiver, DHB is another one though likely not as much. Who ever really knows with runningbacks? There's DeMarco Murray who is probably the most obvious breakout candidate. Jennings is a good one as well, hard to believe he won't very well for as long as Jones-Drew is out. Stevan Ridley has a good shot. He will take over BGEs roll in that offense, except he has a lot more burst than law firm ever had. Robert Turbin will get a good shot right off the bat in what should be a good offense with Wilson leading the way. There are a couple unheralded rookies in AZ and St. Louis who could surprise as well. Tight end I'll go with Jared Cook and Coby Fleener.

White lightning Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I like S Ridley to get the Lawfirms 11tds, improve on his 600+ rushing Yds, and catch a lot more balls out of the backfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorttynaz Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Julio Jones and Torrey Smith are prime candidates for breakout at receiver Well, there's going out on a limb. He's a top 7 WR on just about everyone's pre-draft rankings.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 DHB. ...this limb feels kinda wavy to me though... If he and Palmer stay healthy, I could easily see 1300/10 for Bey. It just seems like nothing ever goes right in Oakland though, whether it be injuries, coaches imploding, mystery benchings, players not giving full effort, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazysight Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Well, there's going out on a limb. He's a top 7 WR on just about everyone's pre-draft rankings.. Mmm...no, no he's not. Unless ESPNs rankings don't count as "just about everyone's." He finished 21st last year among receivers, so it is a limb if you're predicting him to be top 10 or 5. But I didn't realize he was going that high already. Taking a look around i'm seeing some places listing him as high number 2 or 4 overall. He has had an excellent preseason, but if he's going that high over people who have already been there and done that he may even be overhyped and overbought (see people jumping on the J Finley bandwagon preseason last year), though I do think, unlike Finley last year, Jones finishes at least top 10 this year if he stays healthy. It depends on what site you go to. This site has him listed outside the top 10, even as a "sleeper" (which of course he's not). http://bostinno.com/...s-and-sleepers/ It also mentions Brandon Lloyd, who is another prime candidate for a breakout: The rankings there are just a mirror of ESPNs ranking, which have him at 11 among wide receivers. This site (about the 5th one that turned up on my search) even has him outside the top 15, though its obviously misguided and probably was compiled months ago: http://www.nflfootballstadiums.com/Fantasy-Wide-Receivers.htm Still NFL.com's average draft position for him is at 6, which means the cat is already well out of the bag there.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Ryan Williams...and Boom i said it Eddie Royal.... Eddie Royal is a possibility if he can stay healthy. The injury to Vincent Brown has left the door open to opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
