2017 Fantasy rookie class News and Rumors

[Stomp]

John Ross runs blazing 40-yard dash during NFL Combine training

4.30

Looking like a good class.

 

[Stomp]

Really like this guy fantastic body control and tough kinda reminds me of Jarvis Landry

 

[SteelersPride]

i think the best wr will not corey davis or mike williams or ju ju

Stomp, this is a great idea for a thread. Kudos, man!
Especially since I am a classic rookie hater.

This year is a little different for me since I'm the D2.
Plus I don't follow college ball. No interest in it.

Just for grins, I looked up all rookie WR going back to 2000 who had at least 1000 yards receiving.
That's 17 seasons of rookie WR. Any guesses as to how many there were before you look?

Spoiler: Rookie WR >= 1000

10

Then I did the same thing with rookie RB since 2000.
But I included all yards from scrimmage. (rushing + receiving)
Again, any guesses as to how many RB pulled off the feat before you look?

Spoiler: Rookie RB >= 1000

43

I must admit the RB numbers blew me away.
But I'm certainly not looking forward to embracing any rookies yet.
I'm hoping that you guys continue to post your thoughts on this thread.

I'll find a way to muddle through since I'll have to draft a rookie or two. Or 5.

Harold has an interesting offer pending. Still thinking it over.
Look, I may hate rookies, but I know you guys love 'em.
You may have to try a little harder to pry some picks away from me.

Nice to know you haven't forgotten.
Always open to changing it up if need be, but you got to let me know what your interested in, besides what I put forth, or.......you could just accept.

Interesting. I like a few of those guys. Big Godwin fan but I'm a homer obviously. Davis and williams are still my favorites by a large margin though.

 

[SteelersPride]

williams is the class, im not sold on davis, but williams injuries scare me........and juju im a hater on

 

[TREFF]

i see 3-4

As of right now, I see 3, potentially 5....and there's always a sneaky one that you gotta look damn hard for

Does this include any QB?

 

[SteelersPride]

Fantasy wise? One of my potential ones yes. real football? Yeah I think there could be 3-4 "franchise" types..most of the Matt Stafford-ish type ceilings. I don't see any "next Aaron Rodgers" though
