Who's looked good, very good, and underwhelming thus far?

Post #2 » by **Cactus Jack** » Tue Sep 20, 2016 10:43 am

Good: Prescott, Wentz. Bad: Goff

Given how few points the Rams offense is scoring and who the person starting in front of him is, that is quite telling in and of itself. If you don't believe that then hop over to the Jeff Fisher thread.
Wentz has looked amazing.
Ezekiel Elliot has not stepped in and run roughshod as expected, so I'd say he's underwhelming.

Well I don't think that's enough to say he's looked bad. Sure guys like Rivers and Rodgers sat behind really good qbs, and McNair sat mostly for a year, but sometimes guys might not be ready, but regardless of all that you can't really say someone has looked bad if they haven't played. Keenum wasn't terrible this past week, given he was playing against he Seahawks defense.

Better passer rating than Russell Wilson.

Someone hit me with the "Zeke Elliott = Trent Richardson" analogy Sunday night. That hurt.

A 2 game sample size is a little early for that nut kick. Your assessment is far more fair.

Underwhelming...

The Giants rookies have all been pretty good. Apple has been excellent and Shepard with some nice plays as well.

When Laquon Treadwell steps on the field for the first time I'll let you know if he's disappointing.

Post #9 » by **bwgood77** » Tue Sep 20, 2016 3:31 pm

Yeah, Bosa has been really disappointing too.

Jalen Ramsey has looked good so far, Myles Jack is MIA for some reason, and (though technically not a rookie) Dante Fowler has two sacks.

I don't even notice him on the field, it's almost as if he's not even playing.

The one guy that's impressed me the most thus far has been Will Fuller. I have him in multiple fantasy leagues and this kid is absolutely the real deal. He's a future Pro Bowler.

I'm going off his play in the preseason & how he's been basically inactive. Not good.

His name just came up on the local sports talk station. If Brock Lobster is even functional then Fuller and DeAndre Hopkins are going to make other teams miserable for the next few years.

Prescott has looked better than I thought he would. Its been a rough go so far for Elliot but the sample size is still small but I am concerned about the fumbling though. Tyler Boyd and Will Fuller have looked solid. Doesn't look like Denver has lost anything on the defensive side despite letting Thompson go off to the Jaguars. Deforest Buckner has filled in quite nicely and doing as well as any rookie in the league so far. Buckner is the guy I wanted us to draft as our needs on defense far out weigh our offensive needs.

Browns fan:
Very good:Corey Coleman
Good:Nassib, Ogbah, Kindred
Many have not received much playing time. The most optimistic I've been for the team in a very long time.

He is a perfect complement to Hopkins. He's showing the potential for being a constant deep threat.

I got clowned in my fantasy league for taking him as early as I did. Guess who everyone is contacting me about trades this week? :lol:

I wouldn't write off Goff just yet. And I also wouldn't annoint Wentz yet. He's played against 2 bad bad teams.

Before guys like Newton, Luck and Wilson it was pretty rare for rookies to start from the get go.
