Fantasy Football Question of the Day 7/30

Starting July 25 until August 26 my friends Uly Velez, Josh Bede, and I will ask each other one fantasy football related question a day and give our individual answers to it. Feel free to check out my other fantasy football related posts on my blog, including questions from previous days. And if you have a question you would like us to answer just leave a comment below.



Out of Paul Perkins, CJ Prosise, Mike Gillislee, Breshad Perriman, and DeVante Parker, who will break out the most?

Josh:
Well the most talented of all listed is DeVante Parker, but I feel like he's going to be similar to Lamar Miller. Every year is going to be the year he breaks out but the reality is even though he's healthier he doesn't have a lot of room to get more touches, and that's why I am going with Paul Perkins. The Giants are trying to turn him into a 3 down back and he's going to get a lot of touches. I am sure Uly's response will have more positive things to say about Perkins but I am not a huge fan of his. I feel like he doesn't break enough tackles and isn't fast enough to be a slashing back. Out of the choices given I'd say he's most likely to break out. 

Charles:
You both know that I thought Perkins was a solid RB prospect coming out of the 2016 NFL Draft, and I predicted that he would be the Giants' starting RB eventually. I think he has a chance to be a solid starter in this league. He's got decent/good all around skills, but no great ones. However, even though he's going to have the opportunity to be the feature back, that Giants O line is a big question mark and will make a solid player like Perkins look bad. So I'm going to go the opposite way of Josh and say DeVante Parker. The reason I think this is his year is because I believe they will start to phase Jarvis Landry out as the main target in that offense. He's on the last year of his contract and the consensus feeling is that he won't be re-signed. Parker showed many flashes last year of the elite potential that people have been raving about, and I think we'll see it on a more consistent basis this year. Of the names listed I'd pick Parker as having the best chance to break out. Prosise would be my second choice after him.

Uly:
As much as I like Perkins and Parker, I think Perriman has the best breakout opportunity. There are 250 targets from receivers from last year that are now up for grabs. Perriman will be put into a role where he doesn't have to be the number 1 target and can practice his route running and consistency. He has the size and the speed to succeed, and finally he is coming into a season without any major injuries or outside distractions.  He should have ample opportunities to rack up catches with what should be another mediocre run game.

Jay Ajayi: Week 11 Film Breakdown

Image
I loved the trade for Jay Ajayi. Whereas some people thought he was a little overrated and just a one-year wonder, I saw a really good talent that was stuck on a bad team. My expectations for him are pretty high, not only for this season but for the next few as well. Each week I will be examining each of his snaps and will break down all of the ones I find significant. I’ll be looking at not only his runs but how he does in the passing game as a receiver and a blocker as well. Week 11 @ Dallas Cowboys Ajayi again only saw limited touches and snaps, but we started to see him take on other assignments and roles that he wasn’t asked to do 2 weeks prior against the Broncos. 1st Quarter, 12:18 mark, 2nd & 3 from Phi 42 For Ajayi’s first run of the game Doug Pederson called an inside power run concept.

My annual, completely wrong, and irrelevant NFL predictions!

I’ve been making these predictions for the past few years, and if there’s one thing I know is that a good portion of it is going to end up being incorrect. But it is fun to do and it’s hilarious having people comment with their differing opinions and how outrageously stupid and wrong I am, especially when it comes to the NFC East (looking at you, my Cowboys fan friends). Since I do believe the East will be the toughest and tightest division this season, I will put my predicted records for all 4 teams to show just how close they will be with each other. But I won’t be doing records for the rest of the divisions, just standings as well as playoff matchups and awards.       NFC East Philadelphia Eagles, 10-6 Dallas Cowboys, 10-6 New York Giants, 9-7 Washington Redskins, 7-9 NFC West Seattle Seahawks Arizona Cardinals San Francisco 49ers Los Angeles Rams NFC North Green Bay Packers Minnesota Vikings Detroit Lions Chicago Bears

Rookie RB Outlook After Week 1

It goes without saying that there was a lot of hype about the 2017 RB draft class. I'm always invested in RBs, and when draft time comes around I pay a lot of attention to that position. This year there were definitely a lot more RBs that I liked than previous years. and many analysts were proclaiming that this could go down as the best RB class in NFL history. If Week 1 of the season is any indication then this class is on its way to live up to the hype. It's still tough to exactly tell how the rest of the season will play out with each player. Overreacting to Week 1 performances is something that we all tend to do sometimes. But since the fantasy football season is shorter than the actual football season, owners like you and me need to get a handle of what to do with these players sooner rather than later. Which rookies should you start? Which ones should you cut bait with? Which ones should you stash on you bench and wait for them to have the opportunity to break out? The
