2016 Player Comparisons

Postby Cherokee » Mon Dec 28, 2015 7:45 am

This seems to help me alot when making and ranking devy guys. Please try give your honest comp for floor and not ceiling. Think outside the box. Every little bit helps
Day 1
Lequan Treadwell
A. (2015 Demaryius Thomas) His ability to catch short, intermediate passes using strength to break tackles. Does lack DT's speed
B.
C.
Ezekiel Elliot
A. (CHARGERS Ryan Mathews) at his high point. Good size speed power here. Mathews probably catches the ball a little better
B.
C.
Tyler Boyd
A. (Jeremy Maclin) PPR monster all around great WR2 every week
B.
C.

Treadwell - Jeffery

Elliot - Doug Martin

Boyd - I can't think of a good one for Boyd

I like each one of your comparisons in:

Treadwell = Jeffrey

Elliot = Mathews 2.0

I'd liken Boyd to Allen though, similar body types, both strong hand catchers, good presence around the boundary.

I actually came up with a better comp for Elliott in Frank Gore. Dane Brugler agreed with me today(he knows more than me)

That is a good one. Even though Elliot's bigger they look similar stylistically and in the lower body.

I can definitely see that, when I see Gore run he reminds me of a hamster running on a wheel, how the hamster has short legs and big upper body but his feet are moving super fast lol

OJ Howard = Optimus Prime

Totally kidding, just curious on what kind of comparisons people have for him as I don't know much about him and he had little involvement all year, but looked like a monster last night in the National Championship game.

Very under utilized. My comp from what I have seen is Dwayne Allen. Similar size, Great Blocker and great at boxing out. Wish I had seen more of him catchjng and running routes but I m sure he can

This is weird because when I was watching Zeke I was thinking he looks like a Ryan Mathews type player too.

If Mathews had stayed healthy, it would have really been something to witness
