2QB League

Worried - Jared Goff, I just don't know how long he will last this year. LAR did the right thing in bringing in McVay, Olsen, LaFleur as QB coaches but can Goff resemble anything of the guy who tossed on defenses in college? He has a lot to prove in a short amount of time.

Worried - Nelson Agholor, 1.08 two years ago and the signs haven't looked good for a while now. Maybe he takes a step forward with Alshon/Torrey coming in. Can he recapture how good he was in college?

Worried/Hopeful - Allen Robinson, please don't let 2014 be some type of fluke.

Worried - Randall Cobb, can you please stay healthy?

Worried: Kevin White - He's still so raw. Even if he stays healthy I just don't know if he'll ever succeed at the level that was expected of him coming out of the draft.

Confident: Stefon Diggs. I'll say it again. STEFON DIGGS. Outside of AB he may be the best route runner in the league. Great hands. Works hard as hell. Keep doubting him, but this time next year he'll be in the back end WR1 conversation with ARob and Hopkins. Yes, he is that good.

Hopeful: Tyler Lockett - He just needs to stay healthy. So many flashes of brilliance, I just want him to be able to put it together for a full season.

Worried: CJA. There doesn't seem to be anything in his way. Again. But something always finds a way to get in the way.

Confident: Martavis Bryant. Has shown legit signs that his off year was used ideally and he's ready to play. Also, assuming he follows Gordon's trajectory is projecting the future on a sample size of one. He'll remind us why he was a top 20 startup pick before his suspension.

Hopeful: Ameer Abdullah. Always liked what I saw, and the Lions OC has shown he can fix broken things. Like the Lions run game.

I'll base it off my team and in general

My team
Worried: Mike Thomas- not sure he can repeat.

Confident: Zeke- Great back, perfect situation

Hopeful: Ebron- Looks poised to breakout in a big way, has improved every year. Add a few TDs to his total from last year and he is a top 10 TE, pushing on a top 5.

In general
Worried: Melvin Gordon- very volume dependent, will lose third down roll most likely.

Confident: Mike Evans- can't be double covered all day now. watch out.

Hopeful: Crowell becomes a top 10 back, looks like my browns may have the pieces to give him a shot.

Looking at your sig...I hope one of those 1sts is your own.
Good job on buying in to the 2018 draft, though. It's shaping up to be very good, and everyone is somewhat blinded by this stellar draft to think about/properly value 2018.

Worried:
Julio- injuries
Arob- does he go back to '15 or was that a one off?
Alshon- injuries

Confident:
Zeke- dude is a beast
Cooks- he will be the best receiving option on the team (tied with gronk but they do very different things)
Dez- he is a beast, he will have time to work with dak this off season, he killed it at the end of the season (minus like 2 games)

Hopeful:
Mixon- I think he will be great
Mike evans- I hope he works on his hands and is WR1
BEAST MODE- leads Oakland to the superbowl

interesting statement... I get his catch percentage was under 56%, but a good portion of his targets were not catchable. To fault his "hands" you have to look at his drops... in which he had 7 drops last year. Odell Beckham had 6, and i doubt anyone thinks Odell needs to work on his hands. I think the better hope is that he gets more yac in 2017. That appeared to be his biggest issue last year.

Worried - Jordan Matthews. He has the ability to be much better than what he is, I just don't think he realizes it. The icing on the cake is that he's been put in some crummy situations too, though opportunity has never been his problem.

Confident - Amari Cooper. This reminds me of last season when so many were overthinking Mike Evans because of drops and ignoring production, talent and skill level. I don't understand how anyone can be down on a 23-year-old WR with high skill level, who is coming off an 83/1153/5 season as a sophomore.

Hopeful - Eric Ebron. I think this is the year he breaks out. He's followed the traditional slow-developing TE path and got better each season. I think Detroit will look for him a lot in the redzone and he'll push for 8-9 touchdowns with 800 or so yards.

Yeah, I know the stat, but to me its mind boggling, because whenever I'd catch a game it just looked like he should have gotten more than he did.

Understandable. There were tough games last season... I think the coverages he saw were a factor, as well. At one point, there was no other weapon on offense, other than Evans. I honestly feel this season will be as good, statistically, (receptions/ yards/Tds) or better.

Sorry for high jacking the thread, I'm done now lol
