The official 2019 Plant Your Flag thread

[dizzler]

1. Keesean Johnson will be the Cardinals leading receiver in yds.
2. Jamaal Williams will outproduce Aaron Jones and therefore take over the starting spot under Lafleur
3. Both Marquise and AJ Brown will be top 20 in Fantasy WR.
4. TJ Hockenson will be a top 5 TE.
5. Devin Bush will be the #1 scoring LB for IDP this year


Far fetched #6. Browns vs Titans in the AFC Championship!

I see this is turning into a bold predictions thread

Oh and look at that rookie fever

Yeah I was in a hurry and didn't read the OP before replying, I just formatted based on the last few posts so that's on me. To be fair though as far as rookies, all of these rookies (exception of Hockenson) I've been high on since last NCAA season so I don't consider it "rookie fever". Just sticking to the guys I've thought, for a long time, would be very impactful in the NFL when they entered.

Either way rookies wouldn't be exempt from a "plant your flag thread" seeming they have exceptions too but go on with your opinion.

Changing directions to plant your flag guys ( better than consensus expectations) :
QB - Lamar Jackson
RB - Jamaal Williams
WR - Zay Jones
TE - Mike Gesicki

[Bot101]

Ill stick to the theme.

QB: Cam Newton
WR: DJ Moore
RB: Royce Freeman
TE: Chris Herndon

Yes, these are guys I'm rostering through trades. They will be the guys I am counting on this season. Flags planted.

Makes sense that guys you roster are guys you would be high on though. I would hope most people are (reasonably) higher on their players than their league mates... Otherwise you would have traded them away

3) D.K. will score 10TD's.

So what you are saying is that DK3©one will be a massive disappointment in 2019!?!

[Jigga94]

QB: Jimmy G/Dak. I'd say Baker, but he is already in the top 5 conversation and that was before OBJ
RB: D. Freeman and Jacobs (RB1 numbers as a rookie)
WR: I'll happily die on Cooks island. Landry seems a bit low in ranks to me and Shepard will thrive and be a WR2 in PPR
TE: Crapshoot, but I stand by Hunter Henry. I like Andrews as well

[briank]

Last year had a thread to give people a place to plant their threads because of all the double speak and hot takes people were making.

last year I said:

1. Barkley will be ranked dynasty RB1 in 2019
2. Ebron will finish as a Top 7 TE
3. Joe Mixon will finish as an RB1
4. Deshaun Watson will finish outside the top 10 of QBs

I nailed these except for Watson, these seem obvious now but last year when I planted these flags. THESE were the debates people were arguing over, especially Barkley's value. Whelp time to do it again.


My Flags Planted:
1. Aaron Jones will be an RB1, Dexter Williams will be an afterthought
2. Miles Sanders will finish as a top 15 RB
3. Kyler Murray will be a top 10 QB
4. Andy Isabella will finish in the top 24

Sammy Watkins will finish top 12
Wentz will finish top 5
OJ Howard will be the TE1 in startups this time next year.
Kyler Murray will finish top 12
David Johnson will finish as the RB1

3) D.K. will score 10TD's.

So what you are saying is that DK3©one will be a massive disappointment in 2019!?!

Thankfully the defense won't be able to put 3 cones down in the end zone. Of course he could trip on the pylon repeatedly!

Ill stick to the theme.

Themes: We don't need no stinking Themes.....

[hoos89]

A guy I recently traded for: Cooper Kupp.

A guy who's been on my roster since the startup: Sammy Watkins. "This is the Year, Part 4."

[Forza_Azzurri]

All-Rookie Planted Flags:

QB: Drew Lock will be permanent starter before Week 8
RB: Josh Jacobs will out score Lev Bell in a PPR
WR: Kelvin Harmon will be the rookie WR to own on Redskins & Top 5 overall rookie WR
TE: No rookie TE will be a Top 15 TE.

[Pet_Smith]

I'm not sure I want to do this after I whiffed so badly last year...

QB - Mariota / Keenum
RB - DJ / Lynch
WR - Landry / Mike Williams
TE - Njoku / Hollister

And.... Browns aren't terrible this year. Over 6 wins for the year and support multiple fantasy relevant players

But where's the fun in that. Sticking to same as last year, going for both a higher and lower ranked player I'm higher on
QB - Baker / Haskins
RB - Gurley / D Freeman
WR - Evans / Harry
TE - Howard / Dissly

[ColdZealDonkeyStrike]

1.Taywan Taylor outscores one of Matthews or Davis and is a top 25 WR
2. Geronimo Allison is a WR2
3. Gerald Everett is a top 10 TE
4. LeVeon Bell has the highest YFS season of all time
5. Royce Freeman is a top 3 scoring rookie RB

Not good... Maybe I get 0.25 for #1 (he did outscore Matthews, although that's probably just because Matthews was cut) and 0.5 for #2 (he was a WR2 after 4 weeks and then got hurt).

Now that you know my takes are trash, here are mine for 2019
1) Aaron Jones is not the most valuable RB in GB in December DLF ADP
2) Parris Campbell is a top 3 rookie WR in scoring
3) DJ Moore is a top 18 WR in PPR
4) Kenny Golladay is NOT a top 24 WR
5) Albert Wilson is a top 30 WR

[murphysxm]

Baker Mayfield will not be a top 12 fantasy QB
Marlon Mack will be a RB1
Russ Wilson will not be a top 12 QB
Allen Robinson will have a better year than Sammy Watkins, but the dynasty community will still prefer Sammy.
Jameis Winston is top 5 QB

To align with the intent of the thread

QB: Jameis Winston
RB: Marlon Mack
WR: Deon Cain
TE: Jordan Reed

[nathanq42]

My season hinges on McKinnon, Royce, penny, Carson all playing at least at a RB2 level if not higher. I also need arob to get to fringe WR1 levels

[JJRules]

I'm planting my flag on basically everybody on my roster sig except for Gus (will be dropped for a D/ST) and Ballage (still just a lottery ticket). I stocked up on young guys over the last couple of seasons and I believe it pays off this year. Unless I receive some crazy offers, this will be my ride or die this season.
