What skill position rookies will have the biggest IMMEDIATE impact?

[Shane P. Hallam]

Hey everyone,

Most of you know Fantasy Football was my first love. Well, I joined a crazy money league this year with some friends. Our draft starts immediately after the Pro Bowl :o

Therefore, drafting rookies takes some very fine skills. My main buddy in it last year, I tried to convince him to take late round flyers on Chris Johnson and Matt Forte (no joke,). He at least took Johnson, but Forte was undrafted.


So, what rookies under the radar this year could have that immediate fantasy impact like a Forte, or Slaton or Eddie Royal?


Obviously, Wells, Moreno (who all these guys love to death,) and McCoy will go very early.


My thoughts on the next are shaky. Devin Moore and Rashad Jennings haven't hit Day 1 yet. I really like Shonn Greene if I can get him late. Past that, maybe Andre Brown or James Davis?

WR wise, I am thinking I could snag Maclin later (maybe,) Kenny Britt is a guy I think I could snag in the last round even as a steal. Maybe Robiskie or Derrick Williams?

At TE, I doubt any have a real immediate fantasy impact, same with QB.


Any help would be appreciated! My initial thoughts going in were to grab Rashad Jennings near the very end and hope he ends up like Forte, haha, but now I am lost!

[yourfavestoner]

This would be a better question to ask after the draft. Then we'll all have a much better idea of what roles they'll play in the upcoming season.

[thetedginnshow]

Yeah, you can't really tell until you see the position they'll be put into.

[D-Unit]

LeShon McCoy = $$$

I think Percy Harvin can have a Chris Johnson type impact
in the right situation and if healthy.

Crabtree will go too early. Maclin could have a Donnie Avery type impact. I don't think there are any Eddie Royals out there.

Super sleeper: Quinn Johnson
He's a FB, but I could see a team using him the way Denver used Peyton Hillis or Baltimore used Laron McClain.

[Doctor Stupid]

Not Kenny Britt.

[holt_bruce81]

Chase Coffman, dudes sick in the redzone. He'll have an impact next season for sure.

[LonghornsLegend]

So, what rookies under the radar this year could have that immediate fantasy impact like a Forte, or Slaton or Eddie Royal?



Rashad Jennings, RB Liberty 6'1 234 He reminds alot of people of Jamal Lewis but he really has some speed on him, I believe he was originally supposed to go to Pitt but something ended up happening...Either way regardless of situation I feel like he's going to be a workhorse sooner then later and somebody will get a steal.


I also like Andre Brown of NC State, 6'0 224, I think he's another guy who won't have the flashy speed or moves but he's a hog and I think he will emerge in whatever situation he ends up in...I've heard Michael Turner tossed around as a comparison, but he's just a tough runner that will keep the chains moving and wear down a defense, he's a good instinctive runner.


Can't really tell where either guy will be drafted but I really like both from a fantasy aspect as well, I see them as 2 of the backs who can carry the load if need be, and just end up looking better on the field then in shorts...I think Rashad Jennings will be this years Matt Forte.


If I picked a deep sleeper it would be Devin Moore, he's got some quickness and agility and catches the ball well out of the backfield, he could be a late pick that excels in a Kevin Faulk type role.

[Shane P. Hallam]

This would be a better question to ask after the draft. Then we'll all have a much better idea of what roles they'll play in the upcoming season.

Lol, please read my post, I have to choose these guys starting Sunday :D

Thanks LL. As I mentioned in my post, Moore and Jennings were my thoughts, but they haven't really risen up to that first day area yet, which scares me.

Thanks D, I am not sure where exactly to target McCoy, but he would be my guy if I could. I'm thinking as a #4 RB, it would be pretty good.

So, after the Top 5 RBs, what other ones could go in Round 2 or early 3 (Kevin Smith style,) to a team that needs someone?

[SeanTaylorRIP]

Donald Brown, Andre Brown, Hakeem Nicks, Quinn Johnson, Travis Beckum.

[SKim172]

I'd say keep your eye on Javarris Williams out of Tennessee State, he'll be a likely UDFA. 5'10", 220 lbs, power-type guy with 4.5 speed and good burst. If he sees some playing time, I think he'll do well.

Btw I sent you a pm a week ago about if we could trade in our dynasty league never heard back, or I never sent it out :(

[Shane P. Hallam]

Sorry man, I've been busy, no trading yet until we get back into it all in the summer :(

Thanks for the help!

[BuffaloBillsDraft]

I hope Cushing likes cold weather. He is Buffalo bound.

[ag27]

I could see Hakeem Nicks and Kenny Britt having productive seasons

[TitanHope]

Fantasy football was how I first heavily got into football outside of my favorite teams.

When looking at rookie WR's, I automatically give the edge to those players with return skills. A guy like Jeremy Maclin would be ideal. It depends on how your points are tallied. Maclin seems like a decent yardage guy, while not exactly being a TD stud. Derrick Williams is another returner at WR who'll probably see time at the slot for whichever team he goes to.

For rookie RB's, naturally, you look at the amount of carries the RB will likely be getting. Since we can't do that, I'd go with the higher rated guys. RB's like Wells, Moreno, and McCoy would be your best bet. But, if you look at more sleeper guys, look towards RB's with return skills and receiving skills. The more all-purpose the player is, the more playing time he'll see. The more playing time he sees, the better chance for his role to increase. That may be the best you can do with RB's pre-draft.

I dunno how intune your fantasy football crew is with the draft, so TE's are tricky. Good chance they'll go undrafted, but my #1 would be Brandon Pettigrew. He'll be a high pick, and he's the most complete TE in the draft. He'll see more playing time due to his blocking and receiving abilities, which put him ahead of better receiving TE's in this class. After Pettigrew, it's a lottery. There are so many receiving TE's, it will really depend on the team they go to. Since we don't know that yet, go with your personal fav TE. You might have to use a pick on Pettigrew, but I doubt a guy like Jared Cook or Chase Coffman gets drafted. So just pick one up in FA afterwards if you want.

Kick some butt JB! B)

[captainjack27]

I agree with D-Unit...McCoy will be cash money next year...I'm expecting a big year, much like what we saw from the rookie RBs this year

[TitanHope]

I love McCoy as well. Looks like Reggie Bush but run like LaDanian Tomlinson. My favorite RB in this draft - even over Wells and Moreno.

[scottyboy]

If the Giants draft a receiving type back early, then he could be money. Ward had a ton of points because of his receptions(PPR league obviously).

ALSO, again with my homerism, but with Amani gone and Plax most likely being suspended for the 1st at least 4 games or so, whichever WR the Giants draft early.

Thanks Titan. Not sure how return skills play a part in this, since most (and should be all,) don't honor return yardage at all.

The guys will be intune enough to draft the top prospects, but past that, it is doubtful. As I said, Chris Johnson would have went undrafted, Forte did go undrafted despite both moving into the first day before the draft ended.

My main thoughts:

Once Wells and Moreno are off the board, I'm going to target McCoy, possibly as a #4 RB. I have 10th pick, so I'd likely nab him in 6-7 round range.

As for WRs, Scotty, thanks, but I have to draft these guys BEFORE they get actually drafted. So it will be a guessing game. I think Maclin has the best chance to contribute immediately outside of Crabs. As I said, I think I can get Britt really late. I know Scott has hyped Derrick Williams, but I'd still be skeptical taking him as anything more than a #5 or #6 WR.

Pettigrew is complete and a first rounder of course, but how many TDs will he get? Eh, so many TEs, I shouldn't have to worry about it.

I'm thinking of just going rookie RB hardcore at the end of the draft. Andre Brown, Shonn Greene, and Donald Brown if any are around, I am def. nabbing them late.

[Paranoidmoonduck]

Look for rookies that will get serious looks on special teams (especially wide receivers). Jeremy Maclin might be a nice bet, but it Oakland takes him I'm not sure he'll unseat Higgins. Derrick Williams is a decent thought.

[TitanHope]

How many guys are in your league, JB? And how many rounds are ya'll goin? For WR's, do receptions and yards gain enough points to really factor that in to which WR's you play, or is it mostly TD or bust?

My annual leagues on yahoo awarded points for return yardage, but if yours doesn't, then the return factor is irrelevant. :(

[Brown Leader]

I'm with LonghornsLegend-Andre Brown or Rashad Jennings at RB-especially if they end up on a thin roster. And Gibson for WR.

[edgrenade]

I'm going to go with Maclin to have a Desean Jackson type of season.

[Shane P. Hallam]

Most don't. And shouldn't. It is a pet peeve of mine.

We have 12 guys. 20 rounds. 10 YPP for RBs and WRs, 6 for TDs. QB, Wr, Wr, Rb, Rb, WR/RB, TE, K Def is the starting requirements. No PPR.

So, yeah, yardage for WRs is good and fine. If I can just find that gem or two, I am confident the rest of my team will be good to go.

[TitanHope]

I like points for return yards, but I would prefer for there to be a "KR/PR" position slot. That way you can draft a guy like Devin Hester and Josh Cribbs for that purpose.

I just like players with return ability in general. I think it can give them an edge on offense or defense, and not just special teams.

Anyway, I say go with Shady McCoy as your 4th RB if you're wanting a rookie RB. If I had 3 RB slots, then I'm using 3 RB's every week. I'd probably be carrying 5 RB's on roster if one of them is a rookie that hasn't been drafted yet. Just for insurance, or possibly even a trade later on in the season. It'd really depend on how the draft goes, and if how my 3 stud RB's bye weeks line up. If you have plenty of bench slots, then non-elite rookie RB's I'd look at are Donald Brown (the best of the 2nd tier RB's), Arian Foster (I think he's a Forte clone), Rashad Jennings (goal-line back), and Andre Brown (maybe has a season like Jonathan Stewart).

Crabtree may go to a poor team like Oakland and suck, or go to a team like Seattle and rule. Your buds may nab him way early though. I'd look at Maclin and Derrick Williams to have Desean Jackson-esque seasons, but no return points hurts them. Redzone targets are Ramses Barden, Kenny Britt, and Marko Mitchell. Harvin will probably be a great all-purpose yardage player. Heyward-Bey could pick up chunks of yards as a deep threat. Personally, I really, really like the North Carolina receivers Hakeem Nicks and Brandon Tate - I'm expecting good rookie seasons from both, and maybe a Dwayne Bowe-esque rookie season from Nicks.

Either way, good luck to ya JB! ;)

[Shane P. Hallam]

Haha, I've played FF for 10 years, I plan on playing a RB in my flex if at all possible.

And return yards are pretty crap. They are either overpowered or underpowered, and it is a bit of luck at times with that position, something I never really like.

I actually pick 7th (oops,) out of 12.

Here is my plan as long as value stays:

Nab 3 starting runners in the first four rounds

Grab a WR in there, with one in the 5th round (I'm liking Bowe this year, may try and grab him in the 5th).

I'll filter in as needed.

Rookie-wise, I'm thinking:

If I get McCoy, I'll fill my bench with rookie RBs, just to hope one works out. McCoy, Greene, and Brown (one of them)

Maybe grab a rookie WR (Derrick Williams?) toward the end as well.

[LonghornsLegend]

I'd definately grab Brown, McCoy, and probably one other back...But don't these other guys hord rookie RB's too or no? Because if they usually let guys go undrafted(ie Chris Johnson and Forte going undrafted as you said) then what's stopping you from taking the top 5 or 6 Rb's that are draft eligible so when guys start panning out you hold the cards in your hand.

Nothing...but this is a full draft. So, In the first round, I'm taking Westbrook, or Gore, or a stud RB.

[Jonny]

Kenny Britt is one of the WRs who has the best chance to compete early. He's ultra-physical, and already plays in a pro style offense.

[Shane P. Hallam]

Not sure if people care to follow the draft or not. If so, reply and I will update. If not, just ignore me :)

I got Westbrook at 1.7

Draft so far:

1.1 AD
1.2 Turner
1.3 Chris Johnson
1.4 DeAngelo Williams
1.5 Matt Forte
1.6 Steve Jackson
1.7 Brian Westbrook
1.8 Larry Fitzgerald
1.9 Maurice Jones-Drew
1.10 Frank Gore

http://fantasyfootballcommunity.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=4906

[Halsey]

Unless they get hurt, I don't see any reason Chris Wells and Knowshon Moreno can't come right into the league and be productive backs, as long as they're given enough touches and decent blocking. I'm sure there are other backs who could also be productive, but I haven't watched many of the other draft eligible backs much.

[Shane P. Hallam]

Better hope Brown doesn't get injured, I've picked him up 2 years in a row only for him to get injured and or suck.

[Shane P. Hallam]

Better hope Brown doesn't get injured, I've picked him up 2 years in a row only for him to get injured and or suck.

Of course, my RBs are risky. My thoughts are that Brown came back from an ACL fast and was pretty solid. This year, I expect great things. He was a better choice over who was left, no?

[Shane P. Hallam]

:D

GET BOWE NEXT!!!!!!!!!! or Forte

Forte went in the first :P

I may try and wait on Bowe until Round 5. It depends what happens. If guys reach for RBs, I'll likely wait with some WR depth and a solid RB (DMac or Kev. Smith,) still on the board. If WRs fly off the board, I'll be all over Bowe.

[Hooligan]

I actually think my draft strategy might be quite the opposite from yours.
It seems like the premium receivers really stand out from the pack consistently whereas the premium runningbacks (outside of peterson and LT prior to last year) can slip fast or just have down years.

Last year I made it a point to grab two solid receivers early and then just went heavy runningback in rounds 3-9.... I drafted Slaton and D Williams and for some reason just didn't pull the trigger on Chris Johnson...

Also I nabbed Desean Jackson after watching the studly preseason

Of course it isn't all good I also ended up with Colston who sucked for most of the season and Leinart/Kitna as my initial QBs... yuck!

Lol, well, last year you had Braylon Edwards bust out hardcore, and Wayne/Moss be nothing amazing and other 2nd tier WRs (Plax, Colston, etc) fail. It is always tough. But with three starting RB spots, I'm going for guaranteed starters.

[BBIB]

This would be a better question to ask after the draft. Then we'll all have a much better idea of what roles they'll play in the upcoming season.

Exactly.

But for sake of argument, I like Percy Harvin's chances of making an impact like DeSean Jackson and Steve Slaton did this year

[Shane P. Hallam]

Exactly.

Did you read the thread at all? I'm drafting now! Beanie and Moreno are gone. I'm looking at either McCoy or Jamaal Charles next round. My draft so far:


1.7 Brian Westbrook
2.6 Ronnie Brown
3.7 Reggie Wayne
4.6 Darren McFadden
5.7 Lee Evans
6.6 Jason Witten
7.7 Matt Schaub
8.6 Roy Williams (WR)



My plan:

9th round: Nab a back-up RB (#4, but I plan on starting 3 with the flex). McCoy or Charles

10th Round: Nab a 5th WR. I'm thinking a rookie? If Crabs is still there, no doubt. If not, I also like the Jets WRs (Cotch or Coles,) Justin Gage, or Chris Chambers.

11th Round: Back-up QB. Brady Quinn, Chad Pennington, or Eli Manning

12th Round: Shonn Greene

13th Round: Donald Brown

[ToldLikeItIs]

Shonn Greene as the starting RB for the Cleveland Browns.

[ToldLikeItIs]

or whoever the Brows draft at the beginning of round 2.

[Shane P. Hallam]

Read the thread, can't wait for the draft.

I was planning on nabbing Greene later, but I drafted Jamaal Charles at 9.7, and Greene went 9.8 surprisingly. Oh well, if McCoy falls to the 10th, I'm taking him at least.

[DiG]

Crabtree will go too early. .

true but i can see him being very productive in a place like seattle. a wco would be great for him and hasslebeck coming off a down year still has the tools to be very good imo.

[Shane P. Hallam]

Crabtree hasn't gone yet, almost done with the 9th round. If McCoy is gone, I think I may look at Crabs in the tenth. In Seattle, he could be money.

[Shane P. Hallam]

My final roster:

QB - MSchaub
RB - BWestboogie
RB - RBrown Mia
WR - RWayne
WR - LEvans
WR/RB - DMcFadden
TE - JWitten
K - John Kasay
D - Car

B - BQuinn QB
B - BLeftwich QB
B - JCharles RB
B - DBrown RB (R)
B - EJames RB

My final roster:

QB - MSchaub
RB - BWestboogie

Nice. Chances are you hit with one of those rookie WRs and Charles or Donald Brown might end up being top ten fantasy backs.

I wouldn't have drafted James Davis though and I'm not a big fan of Lee Evans. When did Peyton go? If he fell to the 4th that's ridiculous.

[JFLO]

It's kind of hard to predict these things because it's better to way until you see what team has drafted them, but if I were to pick them two months from the draft, it would be:

Knowshon Moreno RB Georgia

Shawn Nelson TE Southern Miss

Kenny Britt WR Rutgers, especially if he were to be drafted by NYG

[keylime_5]

edit, wrong thread, whoops.

[Shane P. Hallam]

Well, we drafted now. Yeah, Peyton went way late since people really wanted to nab those RBs. Yeah, rookies are hit and miss, but I figured grabbing the ones I wanted was pretty crucial, and James Davis is comparable by Scott to Kevin Smith, and watching some tape before I drafted him, he looks like a very good runner.

I REALLY like my WRs, and I think a few should work out well. I like Evans in Non-PPR, and getting Nicks in the 19th round was nice.

It is 12 teams, so depth is always tough.
