bud29 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Probably Brown, but I'd be temped by Bell (even though I got burned by taking him this year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesplante11 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Today it would be bell +1 barring a setback. A good corner or Big Ben injury can keep Brown (my #2)to a 12 point game. I honestly don't think Bell scores less than 12 twice all season (barring injury). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heehawks Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I may actually go with Julio, Gurley, or Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I think this is a tough question. A lot of people base it off of who had the best season. The truth of that matter is Brown should've been the 1st pick this year. My question is has Brown hit his ceiling? Most good WRs and RBs hit their prime in those mid 20s. Megatron, for example, had his best seasons when he was 26 and 27 (28 was pretty good also) and has been on a slow decline since. I like to think about people like OBJ and Hopkins who are entering their prime years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGDAWGS2 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Brown or OBJ not as high on Gurley as others. No QB, moving, new stadium to much flux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pun Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) I like to think about people like OBJ and Hopkins who are entering their prime years. Â true, but you also gotta consider their supporting staff. Hopkins' stats might not get better unless they fix that QB situation. Odell might not be as much of a workhorse if Cruz is back/healthy or if they pick up / draft a good WR. Then there's also guys like Dez and Demaryius who could easily turn it around next year. Meanwhile there's no signs Julio will slow down. And damn why do we always forget about A-Rob haha - #4 fantasy WR this year, and he's only 22, with a good QB who's only getting better and a bad defense causing them to playing from behind a lot. Â I'm definitely targeting Robinson next year. Maybe not first round, but if I manage to get him in the 2nd... Â My question is has Brown hit his ceiling? Most good WRs and RBs hit their prime in those mid 20s. Megatron, for example, had his best seasons when he was 26 and 27 (28 was pretty good also) and has been on a slow decline since. Â idk man, I mean, maybe Brown has hit his ceiling in that we won't see another 1,800+ yard season from him, but I think he'll continue to be an elite WR, probably the #1 for at the very least one more year. Looking at a lot of WRs stats, they usually hit their peak and then have 1-2 more seasons near that peak. Brown has been steadily going up - 1500 yards / 8 TDs in 2013, 1700/13 in 2014, and 1830/10 this year. I think he's got, at the very least, 2 more 1500+ yard seasons in the tank. Â also, and I may be slightly wrong on this, but IIRC Brown wasn't really a full season starting WR until just 2013. He was a 6th round surprise. This was really only his 3rd "full" season. Calvin on the other hand was a hyped #2 pick and was pretty much a full time starter from his rookie season. So if Calvin started to "fall off" after his 7th season, I'd say Brown has a few monster seasons left. Â Â Personally for me, it's gonna be Brown in PPR leagues though I can see why some would take Julio, Odell, or Hopkins. The more interesting question IMO is standard leagues, where Gurley, Bell, Freeman are in the conversation, and (not for the #1 pick, but first round) AP, Martin, Miller, and maybe even David Johnson, Rawls, and McCoy are first rounders. Â I would still take a WR in standard leagues. With the RB injuries ever increasing and more RBBCs, I'd no doubt pick Brown with the #1. My #1 RB would probably be Gurley if they improve the passing game over the offseason, and if they don't, it'd be Bell. I'd still take Brown, Julio, Odell, and maybe Hopkins (depending on Texans' offseason moves) over any RB in standard. I'd even be tempted to take Robinson too, but one year is too small of a sample size. Edited January 15, 2016 by pun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone, including myself, loves Brown. He has the skills, QB, and character (the latter doesn't matter in FF, but it helps in regards to suspensions). I don't pick first next year, I'm in the middle and hoping to land OBJ or Hopkins, and maybe Dez in the 2nd round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AX2RUN Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 In all seriousness I will probably go double WR this year. Based on the # of folks in my league that go QB in the 1st I should be able to get Julio at 11 and then swing back through and get Hopkins (pending a QB change) at 14. Then start filling in at RB in the 3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the outlaw Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 While fun to debate, I think it's WAY too early to speculate on this question...a LOT can happen between now and the beginning of September, which is why in my main local league, we don't even hold the draft until the last Sunday in August. There are many possible names to choose from for the #1 pick now, but perhaps just a few remaining right before the season starts (IMO)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'd still take Bell just because I'm a sucker for a top RB1 but Brown would certainly be in consideration. Â I won't be picking 1st in any of my re-drafts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Brown by a mile he is the most dynamic and consistent player period Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesplante11 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Last year I drafted 10th out of 12. My first three picks were Gronk, Jones, Edleman. Worked out just fine, but it did help that Brady fell to me in the 12th rd and I added Bortles. I think a lot of people will be going WR/WR/RB next year, but its a little early to speculate.

Dolphin_Akie Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Would have to check who they play but Brown would be it for me. Â AFC East, NFC East, Kansas City and Indianapolis Colts.

BIGDAWGS2 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Bell has been hurt a lot how can you take him #1 knowing there is a greater chance of reinjuring himself then Brown or AP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
