OT: Fantasy Football Rookies
Curious as to which rookies everyone thinks might have high upside this year in fantasy football. I'm in a dynasty league that has a rookie draft coming up shortly after the NFL draft and wanted to see if there were any deep sleepers or players who you think could surprise people.
Barkley is the consensus number one pick obviously, but are there running backs you think could challenge him for ROY? Who's this years Alvin Kamara/Jordan Howard gonna be?

Shouldn’t we discuss/debate this after the NFL draft?
February 27th, 2018 at 12:48 PM ^
Those assholes don’t know anymore than we do, Tom Brady in the 6th......pfffffft

Is because people are trading for draft positions pre-NFL draft. Trading the 2nd overall pick for 3rd and 5th and so on... I'm looking for names of guys whose talent alone (minus situation) you would target in a two round rookie draft.
Also, it's a slow day at work.

Probably the biggest decider of fantasy value for a rookie is based on who drafts them. Fournette wouldn’t have been such a high fantasy pick last year if he was drafted by the Lions

then a day that is almost exactly halfway between last year's Fantasy Football draft and this year's Fantasy Football draft?
My rule of thumb - never draft anyone drafted by the Browns.

What about Josh Gordon?
February 27th, 2018 at 2:34 PM ^
Especially not Josh Gordon.

Brings a smile to my face every time I hear his name. Took him as my keeper in the 10th round last year. Actually might be joining a dynasty league this year so I’m intrigued to see the boards opinions.
Ronald Jones has my attention, Nick Chubb maybe, Scarborough in the draft?

I picked him off the waiver wire in a PPR. I can't remember who the person picked up to drop Kamara, but he helped me win my money league.
I drafted Gurley and Ingram and picked up Kamara so I was loaded at RB.

dreams do come true.

The NFL draft is still 2 months away. The combine hasn't even started.
February 27th, 2018 at 1:05 PM ^
Depends on where the guys go, and who they have in front of them. Too soon my friend.

I traded Zeke and Devante Parker for David Johnson and a 1st..ended up being the 1.01..Saquon is coming home!
other than him I like Sony Michel..the WRs are a scary group but I'll take a chance on DJ Moore from Maryland or Anthony Miller of Memphis if they are there.

Barkley and Johnson will be a nice backfield.
February 27th, 2018 at 2:48 PM ^
If he ends up in the right spot. Barkley is obvious and will be drafted accordingly.
February 27th, 2018 at 3:12 PM ^
is interest in the right system (Pats). Has some Kamara in his game.
February 27th, 2018 at 5:54 PM ^
I think Rashaad Penny is gonna be a beast. If you can move into the mid 1st or so, he could be a steal. He's currently valued at 1.09 in Feburary ADP over at dynastyfootballleague.com

It's really a loaded RB class again.
February 27th, 2018 at 7:12 PM ^
Has to be Barkley right? Or Chubb.
February 27th, 2018 at 11:36 PM ^
the RB from San Diego State... sleeper!
