2022 Flag Plant Predictions

[Oddball456]

Sexy Sammy Watkins is a top 20 WR and will be in line-ups every week come mid-season.

James Robinson leads Jaguars backfield in fantasy points for the year.

Given his injury, care to explain how he plays enough games/snaps to beat a (projected) receiving back like Etienne?

Etienne has an injury of his own to deal with. He hasn’t yet got on the field to play real games. If Etienne has an injury free season things will be different. I’m just not counting out Robinson with his toughness and the fact that Lawrence stood up for him last year. Also, Robinson is a receiving RB himself. I don’t know exactly what will happen, I just have a feeling Robinson will bounce back hard. It’s also a contract year for Robinson which has a way of motivating players to do their best.

Standing up for your player against a crazy coach for benching Robinson twice for fumbling is one thing and admirable from the QB leader to show his teammates he has their backs but Lawrence did go to college with Etienne and Etienne is magic in space catching the rock.

My money is Etienne who is already a full go from his injury.

Robinson on the other hand blew out his Achilles in December and the team really won't get a feeling on him until training camp to see how far along he is in rehab.

NO, please don't make him a thing again..........................

I can't believe how much I have done a 180 on ETN but I agree

I think he has a Swift 2021 like year. I still don't think he is that great of a runner in terms of vision but there are so many targets to be had

[yinzername]

well, according to my sig, my money's on:
DJ and Pittman finish as WR1s
EMoore and Cooks finish as WR2s
Fuller gets healthy and contributes somewhere
Aaron Jones and Monty finish as top 15 RBs
MAndrews is the TE1 again
Mahomes is the QB1
Dak is a QB1

This thread should be called “My Wish List Because I Overpaid for These Guys and My Team Will Suck if They Don’t Hit Big”.

Usually we overpay for the guys we are are higher on than everybody else so yeah it's pretty obvious that flag plants and overpays are pretty equivalent most of the time.

Just to be clear, I meant this in a lighthearted way that includes myself.

My flag-plant list would likely elicit a combination of eye rolls and belly laughs.

There is a really good chance we dont even see Robinson until like week 10. JAX has no reason to rush him back as long as ETN lives up to the hype

Elijah Moore finishes as a Top 5 WR

Elijah Moore finishes as a Top 5 WR

Top 5?

I love the guy but this is burning hot. Is it due to faith in Zach Wilson, not believing in Garrett Wilson or something else?

The injury dates don't line up with JRob leading this backfield in fantasy points, imo. Etienne has a full season of recovery lead on Robinson. Too many ways for him to be undercut-
1- limited to two down work while Etienne soaks up receptions
2- another back shows well enough in handling the tackles running while JRob works to recover that the coaching staff doesn't push the upcoming FA onto the field
3- even when he begins getting touches (whenever that is), real reason to question the volume/efficiency

I have JRob in multiple leagues, I'd love for this to work out, but just too many ways for this to fail.

I have enough faith in Zach Wilson that he is able to make a significant leap forward in continuation of his progress towards the end of last season. I strongly believe that Garrett Wilson has a fantastic rookie year, and that should help Elijah run wild and free since Garrett will demand enough attention. These things plus the eye test when Elijah was on the field he looked special. I think Elijah takes a massive leap this year.

He surprised many doubters when he was an UDFA. He’s the type of guy I love to root for. I hear what you guys are saying but so many things factor in to a season long performance. We will see. I’m not afraid to be wrong but I hope I’m right.

It just doesnt seem realistic. I dont think anyone is trashing Jrob, he's obviously a really good player. But there is just a very slim chance he sees the field much this year. It'd be like me having a flat tire and no spare and then projecting im gonna crush it at work that day, when in fact I probably wont even make it TO work
