Erick Decker will be money

Viking TE Kyle Rudolph will get a LOT of touches

People will be sleeping on Antonio Gates

I think Forte will be a bust in the sense he won't repeat last year's performance. Bears are going to air it out more with Jeffery & Marshall and I can envision Michael Bush stealing a lot of goal line touches

agree on the Rudolph & Decker forecast and Gates will get picked just off of name recognition...Forte has never been a rushing TD guy...i think he only had 3 all of last year and if you avg his time in the league, he only gets you 5.25 or some shyt like that..

I agree with Forte. I actually think the Bears will be a rushing team this year with Bush. They are starting to develop a nice offense along with their defense. Could actually see them with leads this year and trying to kill the clock. I don't see them going full blown air attack like people think.

They didn't extend Forte and get a top back-up to throw the ball.

they'll definitly air it out more than last year when Forte was basically their attack

You guys think Chris Johnson is gonna do the damn thing this year. He's been gettin top five running back status from "Experts". The Thing is they have Nobody to pass to while Britt is out. What ya think? They gonna be loadin up the box on dude.

So I'm picking 10 in a 12 man live draft, with 0.5 ppr. Any tips? Larry Fitz seems to be ranked 10 but if Matthews falls I was going to get him because there is seems to be a lot of dodgy RB's out there after the first round. Chris Johnson is my next choice really. I dunno, I usually pick RBs in the opening rounds, then WRs and then QBs late - seems like the choice of RBs in the 2-4 rounds is awful though. Looks like my first two picks will be Larry Fitz and Andre Johnson. Looking for two of Ryan/Freeman and Palmer late, with Moeaki and/or Cook for TE. fukk knows what is going to happen with RB. :ld: What is Bradshaw looking like this year? Charles? Sproles?

i dont know how any of yall can claim packers rbs as any kind of sleeper.

Forte will probably still be good, but he'll take a step back w/ bush taking all the goalline touches.

If you consider bradshaw a sleeper, I like him this year.

I think Demarco Murray will finish as a top 5 back.

If Alex Green isn't fully healthy they'll depend on Starks for everything, so he could be in for a huge year compared to where people are drafting him (Round 7/8).

And it's hard to say Forte will lose touches. He was never a goal line back really except for his rookie year. He should still be in line for 3-4 rushing TDs and hopefully he doubles it with his receiving TDs.

My sleepers this year...

QB: Sam Bradford and Andy Dalton
RB: Roy Helu, BenJarvis Green-Ellis, and Issac Redman
WR: Eric Decker, Danny Amendola and Robert Meachem

I think all of these guys will be consistent starters by the mid way point of the season.

Pretty much everything I've read suggests you should stay the fukk away from Helu. :manny:

Will be looking closely at Meacham and Redman though... :leostare:

I think Bradford has potential. I'd stay away from Helu and Redman. Helu looks worse and worse everyday. Redman will get a ton of touches but I don't think he's a good RB. They'll rely on Big Ben throwing the ball.

Your WRs look good. Especially Decker.
