2017 Rookie Surprise Sleepers and Busts

[spotxc]

Who are some options you would put down as a possible surprise bust or surprise beast...Like tread last year as surprise bust and howard/thomas as unexpected studs

Surprise Studs: Hunt, Engram, Conner

Surprise busts: Mixon, Njoku, Kamara,

[Kramer]

Surprise Studs: Kenny Golladay, Jamaal Williams, Gerald Everett

Surprise Busts: Dalvin Cook, Evan Engram, John Ross

[ColdZealDonkeyStrike]

Trying to pick one from each skill position:
Studs: Marlon Mack, Taywan Taylor, Gerald Everett
Busts: Perine, Zay Jones*, Engram

*It is hard to pick a surprise WR bust, since MW is probably out for the year and Ross seems to get such little love that it would take a major flop for him to bust for me. I went with Jones since he seems like the 2nd coming of Robert Woods there.

UDFA RB Matt Breida

[Metriculous]

Surprise Busts: C Mac, Kamara, Perine, Joe Williams, Hunt, Mack (based on expectations of the owners that drafted each player thinking they were getting a starting RB)

Surprise Studs: DeShaun Watson

[drbuttermaker]

Busts: Ross, McCaffery, Mixon

Studs: Godwin, Jonnu Smith, Mack

[Reljac]

Surprise Studs: Josh Reynolds, Shaheen, Deshaun Watson

Surprise busts: McCaffery, Njoku, M Williams, John Ross

[Goddard]

Stud: Juju. I wanted to put Godwin here, but he's going to take a year or two so he won't be a "surprise stud this year." Joe Williams was also my surprise stud before the draft, but now he's trending in the opposite direction with all the hype he's getting.

Bust: Fournette - Don't kill me, just a gut feeling. CMC, although I think he'll be good, I don't think he'll be great like a lot of people expect.

[Dynasty DeLorean]

Put me down for D'Onta Foreman as a surprise stud. As for bust, eh it's always hard to predict who will completely fall on their face.

[REPTAR]

Surprise stud: adam shaheen

Surprise bust: CMC, Cook

[kamihamster]

Studs: Conner, Davis, McGuire
Duds: CMC, Ross, Njoku

I'm going the other way on McCaffery and calling him a "surprise stud" even though he's getting drafted top 3-4 in every rookie draft. Carolina is a great fit for his skill set as both a runner and receiver. It would not surprise me if he leads all rookies in 2017 and wins the ROY going away.

Hmm I agree with that logic if he rushes for around 1000+ yards. Otherwise he'll just have done with most ppl thought he'd do, which is catch a lot of passes and rush some.

[TTHTD]

Surprise stud: CMC is going to prove he's a very special player well beyond what people in this forum seem to believe he can do, Foreman, Perine, Zay, Kittle, Aarons Jones, Ross, Kizer

Busts: Cook, Mixon relative to expectations of having a good season in the next 2 years (I think he'll have a good career but it will take time), Njoku, Howard (from a fantasy perspective)

[maxhyde]

Surprise stud: Ross
Bust: Mixon (only because I think Hill and Gio still play enough to limit Mixons touches), Howard (lack of opportunity)
