Not sure who that is, but keep an eye on Tarik Cohen on the Bears. Sproles-type, has really been opening some eyes.

Cohen is the reason not to draft Howard. Howard was god awful last year in the pass game. They just had no other options.




Zay could be good. Tyrod likes to throw downfield and Zay would be the main beneficiary. I assume he will have some boom and bust weeks with Mathews being the possession guy


Mccoy will lead the team in receptions.

I wouldn't say don't draft Howard. I mean, you can basically count the number of true every down backs in the league on one hand. Cohen will get some touches but Howard will still put up numbers.

It's all about value. If enough people like you think Cohen significantly diminishes Howard's value, then his ADP slips, maybe to the point where he does have value relative to where you can get him.

A blanket "Don't draft Howard" is like saying don't bet the Dolphins this year cause Tannehill is hurt, without even knowing the line.

Still? OK, I didn't know cause he was kept in the one league where I've drafted.


In all my leagues at least.


IMO way too much bust potential in the late round 1/ early round 2 RB's (Ajayi, Howard, Demarco)

Although demarco not as much. But still Henry breathing down his neck


Only one I would feel pretty comfortable with is Melvin Gordon but hes creeping up to around the 9th pick overall

A lot wild stuff this season happening just weeks before kickoff

Major injuries, trades, releases, suspensions in limbo


Next year i'm not drafting until a few days before regular season starts

Man I wanted D. Parker so bad as a sleeper! Really thought I could steal him late but someone beat me to it! Think he has a big Time year!

Henry on the other hand is destined to be an RB1 sometime soon! I would take him on my team any day! It's not every day u find someone built like that, esp adding in his speed and power!

[h=1]Can Zay Jones Be the Top Rookie Wide Receiver in Fantasy Football in 2017? [/h]
16026_a11.jpg


Over the last three weeks, the Buffalo Bills have had a teensy bit of weirdness at the wide receiver position.
On August 7, they signed veteran free agent pass catcher Anquan Boldin. On August 21, Boldin retired.
On August 11, they dealt their top receiver, Sammy Watkins, to the Los Angeles Rams. Later that day, they acquired wideout Jordan Matthews from the Philadelphia Eagles.
On August 13, during his first practice with the team, Matthews fractured his sternum. He might be back for Week 1. Or not.
All of which means Zay Jones, Buffalo's prized rookie wide receiver, has a chance to have an immediate impact in 2017.

Fantasy football 2017 sleepers: Zay Jones and 5 more wide receivers to draft.

Finding a sleeper late in fantasy football drafts can put your team over the top. Generally, a sleeper is considered a player that you select in the 10th round or later. With the help of Fantasy Football Calculator, here are six sleeper receivers worth adding late in your fantasy draft.

zay-jones-d2bbd2c2fb2ed11d.jpg


Zay Jones, Buffalo Bills

Average draft position (ADP): 11.12

Zay Jones’ fantasy football stock has gone up in the last two weeks. Following Sammy Watkins’ trade and Anquan Boldin’s retirement, Jones and Jordan Matthews are set to be the Buffalo Bills’ top two receivers. Jones may be a rookie, but he’s had the offseason to work on his chemistry with Tyrod Taylor and he’ll see plenty of balls thrown his way in his rookie year. It’s possible that Jones leads the team in targets as a rookie and that will give him plenty of opportunities to produce consistently.

Kenny Britt, Cleveland Browns

ADP: 11.01

A Cleveland Browns receiver? There’s certainly some risk involved in selecting Britt as the Browns’ quarterback options are Brock Osweiler and Deshone Kizer, but he produced last year in similar circumstances. Kenny Britt caught 68 passes for 1,002 yards and five touchdowns one season ago with rookie quarterback Jared Goff and journeyman Case Keenum on the Los Angeles Rams.

adaam-thielen-5d62f4e98ce9493f.jpg


Adam Thielen, Minnesota Vikings

ADP: 11.04

Adam Thielen had a breakout year in 2016 when he hauled in 69 passes for 967 yards and five touchdowns. Thielen may have helped you win your fantasy league last season when he had 202 yards receiving and two touchdowns on 12 receptions in Week 16. Thielen will compete for receptions against Stephon Diggs and Kyle Rudolph, but he should see his fair shares of opportunities this season.

cooper-kupp-14abdc5f5a971118.jpg


Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams

ADP: 13.11

The Los Angeles Rams have former Bills receivers Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods, but rookie Cooper Kupp has tremendous fantasy potential. Kupp has caught eight passes in two preseason games for 105 yards and one touchdown. The rookie receiver clearly has chemistry with Jared Goff and late in round 13, Kupp is well worth the selection.

ted-ginn-10e2391e7be4a0d5.jpg


Ted Ginn Jr., New Orleans Saints

ADP: 12.02

Drew Brees attempted 673 passes in 2016 and the quarterback has thrown at least 600 attempts in the last seven seasons. When looking for a sleeper late, it never hurts to go with a Saints wide receiver. Ted Ginn Jr. will join the pass happy offense and is penciled in as the team’s outside receiver opposite of Michael Thomas. Ginn’s breakaway speed could make him a down the field favorite of Brees this season.

cole-beasley-fd31021abae16944.jpg


Cole Beasley, Dallas Cowboys

ADP 13.12

Cole Beasley caught 75 passes for 833 yards and five touchdowns in his first season with Dak Prescott at quarterback. The Cowboys are likely to pass more in Prescott’s second season and the team could see a significant increase in pass attempts early in the year depending on Ezekiel Elliott’s suspension. Beasley should benefit from the increased pass attempts in the Cowboys’ offense.
