KD in CA Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Very good year for rookies in FF. It's a good list, but they have Bradford ranked way too high. He is not worth drafting unless you are in a big league that has 2 starting QBs. The top 3 RBs all look like starters and C.J. would fit in right after them. Gerhardt could get a bunch of touches near the goal line, he's a good late round flier. Dez could be a good #3 in Dallas' big offense but otherwise, rookie WRs are rarely worth owning as anything other than deep bench guys for bye week replacement. My rankings: Mathews Best Hardesty Spiller Bryant Gerhart Bradford Tate/Thomas/Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 1. Mathews - Gonna be SD's new workhorse RB 2. Best - Kevin Smith is still trying to get back from an injury and recovering slower than expected 3. Bradford - Watch the replay of last night's game versus the Pats* 4. Spiller - He's going to have better numbers early with Jackson and Lynch nursing injuries, but he's surely a playmaker this year. 5. Bryant - Will be good, but Dallas has alot of people to spread the ball around to. 6. Tate - Will be the starting #2 WR on Seattle by week 8. 7. Hardesty - Harrison is going to get a bulk of the carries I believe. 8. Thomas - The question is will he be healthy enough to put up the numbers? 9. Benn - Everyone touts Williams as better than Benn, but Benn is more physical and uses his body well to get open and shield. 10. Williams - Fast, decent but not great route runner, and will likely get most of his points on a deep route here or there. 11. Gerhart - I don't know if he'll be the white Jerome Bettis or a guy who didn't translate well to the NFL. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhg Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 It depends if you are in a dynasty league or not. I think Mathews will be the best short term option, but I think in the long run, Spiller will be the best of the bunch. Bradford will be good, but it's going to be a painful season for him this year. I like Best a lot. He's going to get the ball a ton. Gerhart is going to be hard pressed to get on the field unless Peterson gets hurt. WR's very rarely do anything in their rookie year. So looking at it from a dynasty league prospective: Spiller Mathews Best Bradford Hardesty Bryant Ben Tate (I know he's hurt, but we are talking dynasty league) Golden tate Thomas Clausen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 7. Hardesty - Harrison is going to get a bulk of the carries I believe. I've read that Hardesty is the likely starter; they don't think Harrison can stand up to a 20 carry/game pounding. But that's the big 'if' with both those guys.
