Re: 2021 Rookie Tiers

I usually read the Football Outsiders speed score analysis each year (link for those interested https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2020/speed-score-2020). They mention 2 lines, being the “Arian Foster line” and “Ahmad Bradshaw line” whereby Foster is the only player with a speed score ...

Re: Who is your "guy" for this upcoming rookie class?

So you’re taking issue with speculation now? Welcome to DLF, the fantasy football forum where speculation isn’t allowed lol I’m far from wounded. As you say, you like to dunk on posters - no need to get defensive when posters highlight your hypocrisy . Something about heat and kitchens etc. Where d...

The OhCruelestRanter playbook: - respond to a poster showing interest in Toney, proclaiming people will be fooled by senior season breakouts until the end of time - poster responds that seniors should be judged on merit, citing other extenuating circumstances in their profile such as draft capital ...

Re: How do you evaluate rookies

Pick a player who looks good then justify to myself why they are an outlier to every analytical red flag that they have :lol:

Re: Who is your "guy" for this upcoming rookie class?

Chase Claypool is 238 lbs, White and Hill were "only" 215. Mapletron is a different breed. Setting the weight/height adjusted speeds aside, I was extremely low on White when he was coming out. I was indifferent on Perriman. I loved Claypool. So they might look the same to you but I see a ...

Re: Who is your "guy" for this upcoming rookie class?

Megatron, Metcalf, Julio, Andre Johnson were all studs in college from an early age. Kevin White (1.07), Breshad Perriman (1.26) are two names off the top of my head that both had similar size adjusted speed scores than Claypool and both had higher draft capital. Their height adjusted speed scores ...

Re: Who is your "guy" for this upcoming rookie class?

From memory Claypool’s height adjusted speed score was 3rd all time for a wide receiver behind only Megatron and Metcalf, he was considerably more athletic than those players. I also saw a list of wide receivers with a speed score over a certain threshold and second round capital and the list was l...

Re: Who is your "guy" for this upcoming rookie class?

OCR immediately backpedals stating he did so due to other extenuating circumstances such as draft capital, and would consider Toney based on this (amongst other factors such as workout metrics, which the original poster also mentioned) - thus actually agreeing with original poster he belittled I he...

Re: 2021 Rookie Tiers

12 of the top 15 RB's in mizelle adp have an above average weight-adjusted speedscore. Josh Jacobs, CEH and Aaron Jones are the ones that don't. It's not bulletproof but athleticism mattering in athletics is a good rule of thumb to adhere by. How many of the bottom 15 have an above average weight-a...

Re: 2021 Rookie Tiers

Agreed. I had evaluated Etienne last year as I assumed he was declaring, and he was behind JT, Swift, Dobbins and Akers for me last year. I was torn between him and CEH as my #5 guy back last December. I think hes pretty overrated truthfully. He runs really high and awkwardly and struggles when run...

Re: 2021 Rookie Tiers

Clemson replaced 4 starters on their line this year, once again not sure why there is this narrative he benefits from his line. Or why the same narrative doesn't come up for Harris despite the fact Bama is on the short list for best OL in the country year in and year out and starts 5 future NFL pla...
