What top 10 WR do you think will outperform there Draft Position?

Question

Who will perform the most above expectations and why? PPR league.

Answer 1

1. Donte' Stallworth, no question.  His ADP among WRs only is 34.  That's ridiculous.  The Browns were last year and will be this year an offensive fantasy football powerhouse.  Anderson is great, he made stars out of Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow; he will do the same to Stallworth.  And if he gets replaced by Brady Quinn, then presumably Quinn will be even better.  With Joe Thomas protecting the QB you're safe taking any offensive Brown this year.  He is not going to be top 10 but he could easily be top 20.

2. Vince Young.  His ADP among QBs only is 18.  It should be more like 10-12.  He would be 18 even if his team hadn't improved and it did improve.  He will have better runners to take the pressure off of him and will have better protection.

3. Marion Barber.  His ADP is 8, it should be 5.  He will beat everyone except LT/AP/Westbrook/Addai.  He was #7 last year and he will get more carries.  And will Jamal Lewis and Clinton Portis really hold up for another year?  I doubt very much that they will beat Barber.  Maybe Jackson, maybe Larry Johnson, but I will believe it when I see a better consistent performance from them.

Answer 2

The best WR value in a PPR league is Derrick Mason ! He was the Nr. 7 WR in the PPR format and usually can be had after round 7-8. He is a lock for 80-100 catches and no one in the league runs his routes more acurately.

Other great values in PPR are B. Engram, L. Coles, J. Cotchery, D. Driver... W. Welker is huge in PPR too, but do to the publicity hes got, you cant consider him a bargain anymore since hes usually taken in round 3, even in non ppr leagues, which is pure overdrafting.

Answer 3

Calvin Johnson, he will have a break out season if he is healthy.

Answer 4

personally, my expectations are high for a ton of players taken in the 10th round or later. i don't want to reveal all my secrets, but let me put it this way: check the stats for last year, and see how many wr's with 7 or more td's have adp's after the 10th round.

in terms of ppr leagues and in a year where the majority of wr's have less than 12 td's (like this year,) i would be looking at wr's on weak teams, since they will consistently get 9 catches/100 yards but won't score very often. fitz and boldin, for example, but their adp is very high.

dwayne bowe in kc has a good situation for a ppr league, and has a low adp.

Answer 5

I agree that Calvin Johnson will be unstoppable this year.  He is an absolute beast and many people have forgotten about his speed.  Just two years ago at the NFL combine he didn't even plan on running the 40 yard dash.  He borrowed someone else's shoes and ran a 4.32.  A 4.32 for someone 6 and a half feet tall is unbelievable.  If healthy, Johnson will be an elite WR option this year.

Answer 6

Santonio Holmes is taking over the #1 WR in Pittsburgh and will be easily top ten this year.
