I'm curious to see what rookies you think you'll start?
QB:
Caleb—starting right away, could start for you for sure
Maye—has to beat Brissett, should be able to?
Daniels—will start, maybe good for Superflex
JJM—will start, maybe works in Superflex
RB:
Brooks—probably still healing
Benson—Conner still there
IDK how many rookie RBs will actually get into our rosters, mostly handcuffs
WR:
Harrison—I have a few shares and he'll probably be a WR2-4 for me seeing how PS goes he's WR1
Nabers—could start, he's WR1
Odunze—maybe as a WR3, I don't expect huge numbers while Allen is still there
Thomas—could start for sure, currently WR2
Worthy—could start, currently WR2
Ladd—could start, currently WR3
Pearsall—a bit buried for now, WR3 on depth charts
Mitchell—could start, only WR3 for now
Coleman—could start for sure, WR1 in BUF
Legette—WR2, could be a flex play
Polk—WR3, but who else is on the team? DD above him?
Corley—WR3 with big upside
RWilson—WR2, should get targets right away
TE:
Bowers—seems he'll be the TE1 from the jump
Sinnott—great spot, only Ertz above him, should start and excel
Sanders—only behind Tremble, should get some action
Johnson—TE behind Waller (retiring?) and Bellinger, could be a starter soon

Re: What Rookies Will You Start?
Mostly I think I'll be starting Harrison in two leagues as a WR2-4 until I see what he does. Maybe BThomas as a bye week flex or something. I only have one draft done, a couple other in progress.

Re: What Rookies Will You Start?
None for me, but I don't have any leagues that play during the NFL off-season.
In all seriousness, I rarely rely on rookies for production. By years' end, it usually works out that some of them are dependable, but it's never the plan to rely on them early on.

Re: What Rookies Will You Start?
Right. That's partly why I started this thread. Do you think you'll start ANY rookies? I think Harrison cracks a starting roster on both teams where I drafted him, for example, but I'm not expecting WR1 numbers, I'd probably start him as my WR4-5.

Re: What Rookies Will You Start?
QBs - None of the rookie QBs would be auto-starts for either of the two teams in my sig. I would draft one if given the chance, but not with the plan to start them in year 1. I think contending teams are taking a big risk planning on making a rookie QB their SF starter in week 1. Any contender planning to start a rookie in week 1 is more of a pretender to me. OTOH, if I had a team not ready for full-contention, sure I could see that I might plan on starting any of the 1st round QBs in week 1. Fantasy teams with holes at the QB spot should plan on starting whichever 1st round rookie QB they get.wickerkat1212 wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 8:05 am I'm curious to see what rookies you think you'll start?
RBs - I could see any of about five rookie RBs being startable as a RB2. Not all will produce consistently as a fantasy RB2, but it's easy for a contender to mask a weakness at RB2/Flex.
WRs - For a serious contender, I would hope to not plan on starting any rookie WR. For the teams that hope to be a contender with a rookie WR, the only ones I'd be comfortable depending on are Nabers and MHJr. Any of the next tier are more like hopers, not sure things. Even Odunze is not a good bet in year 1, because he might be the 4th or 5th receiving option and that won't provide enough opportunity for him to help a fantasy team. If I'm a team that wants to be a contender and week 1 I plan on starting any rookie WR not named Marvin or Nabers, I need to have a double-shot, look myself in the mirror, and ask myself if I'm really a T3 contender.
TEs - I'd start Bower in no TEP and be very comfortable doing so. In TEP, with a contending team I'd hope I had a better option for TE1 than an unproven rookie. I'd be okay going into week 1 with Bowers as my TE2 in TEP, but not my TE1. For a contender, I would be comfortable planning on starting any other rookie TE in week 1.
OVERALL - basically, if we're not talking about true contending teams, I don't mind starting any rookie in week 1. If my fantasy team is not gunning for a title and is in "player development" mode, who I start at QB+WR+TE doesn't matter. But if in week 1 I'm starting a rookie at any position besides RB, I'm already admitting my team might not be a true contender going into the season.

Re: What Rookies Will You Start?
Awesome, thanks, yeah this his exactly what I was looking for, appreciate your thoughtful response here. I got Maye and Penix in Superflex but am not planning on starting either over Goff and Cousins. My two shares of Harrison I am not PLANNING on starting him except as a WR4-5 if he's tearing up pre-season. I actually think some of the value in rookies MAY actually be TE, where I can see a few guys starting and playing well right away, such as Bowers and Sinnott.Anteaters wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 9:37 amQBs - None of the rookie QBs would be auto-starts for either of the two teams in my sig.

Re: What Rookies Will You Start?
I agree that last year (and every year) a few players show early that they can start for contending fantasy teams. What I think is a fool's gamble, is better on any specific player coming out of the gate hot from the first two or three weeks.wickerkat1212 wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 10:10 amI think if we look at last year we had a few players get out of the gate fast—Stroud in HOU of course, as well as Bijan and Gibbs, Achane to a degree, as well as Puka, and LaPorta.
Yeah, Stroud came out hot, but Young was drafted before Stroud in almost every league. So most people planning on starting a rookie QB last year were probably planning on starting Young and AR.
Puka was that guy in WRs, but if any fantasy manager was planning on starting a rookie WR it was definitely not Puka (or Dell). So that means that manager did not receive starter-like production from his rookie WR.
That's what I mean by being specific in saying I don't "plan" on starting any rookie on my contending teams in week 1. Now if one of my rookies end up producing like Stroud/Puka/Laporta, yeah, I'm moving him into my lineup. But planning on starting any particular rookie (before he's proven himself) would be admitting I don't really have a contender.

Re: What Rookies Will You Start?
Right. I totally agree. No, I'm not planning on starting anyone other than the fact that I believe Harrison will creep into my lineup and hopefully work his way up the roster. This year I only have him set to be my WR4-5 on flex plays and bye weeks, but I'm not planning on starting anyone else that I've drafted so far. If I had to put my money on a guy that COULD start out hot and remain hot it's probably Harrison. Nabers isn't in a great situation in NYG, but maybe he gets a ton of targets, I just think Jones is a mediocre QB. Same for Odunze, in time he'll certainly be a stud, but his year with Allen there, IDK if he cracks out rosters aside from flex/bye weeks IF Caleb really takes off. Too many mouths to feed right now. I think Bowers could be a TE we start, he seems ready.Anteaters wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 10:27 amI agree that last year (and every year) a few players show early that they can start for contending fantasy teams.

That's what I mean by being specific in saying I don't "plan" on starting any rookie on my contending teams in week 1. Now if one of my rookies end up producing like Stroud/Puka/Laporta, yeah, I'm moving him into my lineup. But planning on starting any particular rookie (before he's proven himself) would be admitting I don't really have a contender.

Re: What Rookies Will You Start?
Usually just 1st/2nd rd RB in the right situation. Not sure if any this year. Would have to be a bad team.
High end WR on a deep lineup. MHJ, Nabers should start on most teams that earned that pick. Others will be on the bench.
QBs in SF depending on roster. I could see any of the top 6 start if it's on a bad enough team. I would just be starting Caleb, assuming I don't have 2 better options.
TE never.
I tend to wait and see overall, though I'm also not getting these elite prospects most years. No reason to risk it with my competitive teams. I think I had Olave on the bench for 2-3 weeks before I started him and he had a fast start.

Re: What Rookies Will You Start?
LOL yeah, I assume most of my starters will also be coming from players that ARE NOT rookies.

Re: What Rookies Will You Start?
Same here.
Last year I didn't start Stroud until week 4. Did not start Dell until week 4. It took me that long to be convinced they didn't just have one good game.
Sadly, I never started AOC. But this year...
