Top Rookies???

[MacMan0295]

Anyone have a good site that lists all the top rookies this year...? In my fantasy league we are allowed to pick 2 rookies in addition of our regular team.

Thanks

I'd rate them in this order:

Kevin Jones, DET
Larry Fitzgerald, ARI
Stephen Jackson, STL
Kellen Winslow, CLE
Julius Jones, DAL
Michael Clayton, TB
Eli Manning, NYG
Roy Williams, DET

Like Always Rookies will not bring in a huge fantasy impact but the few rookies that might put up some good fantasy numbers this year would be:

Winslow
Fitzgerald
Kevin Jones
Roy Williams
Reggie Williams

Also there's guys like Stephen Jackson & Eli Manning who could get a chance to start with injuries........Manning will probably have a terrible year though I'd stay away from him

The top 4 (in no particular order) should be:

Kevin Jones
Larry Fitzgerald
Roy Williams
Kellen Winslow


I've watched KJ and RW since they were in high school. The other 2 I watched throughout their college careers. Roy is a freak, of which only Randy Moss is greater in the NFL.

Two keys for Roy: How much time will it take for him to pick up the offense? And, how bad is Joey Harrington? On a side note, Roy doesn't catch a lot of TDs (unless they are deep ones). If he is a good fantasy player it would mainly be based on yards.

Kevin Jones is a back that likes to dance around a lot and make moves in the open field. He has a very fast top speed (despite his disappointing workout times) and will flourish in Maruicci's offense. He is serviceable north/south runner but not as good as a rookie like Julius Jones in that regard.

Larry Fitzgerald - all he does is catch touchdowns! At least, that's all saw from him. He makes amazing catches in traffic. He doesn't have the speed and ability to make people miss that Roy Williams has but he has great hands, good route running and excellent feel for the game. He worked out with Cris Carter in the past and reminds me of a 2004 version of Carter (bigger, faster). On a side note, he also reminds me of Charles Rogers who was injured last year.

Kellen Winslow - what can I say about this guy? He's the biggest jack@ss this side of Maurice Clarett (who Winslow's father helped represent when he was trying to enter the NFL early). Winslow think's he is a "souljah" and his mouth is too big for his body. He was upset that the Redskins drafted Sean Taylor over him (Sean Taylor was his frickin teammate...WTH!?!?) If you were to look up "Piece of Crap" in the dictionary, K-2's face would be right next to it.

That being said, "K-2" is the best collegiate TE I have ever seen! His blocking is good, not great (he is small for a TE) but he has nearly WR speed and perfect hands. He backs up his talk on the field and will make an immediate impact. Of course, he's still a TE and won't put up WR type numbers often.


Also, check all the other rookie WR. There were a lot of good ones (i haven't been following them). If they allow him to push-off Rashaun Woods is a nice WR (not sure where he is in the depth charts etc). Also, I would draft Julius Jones before Eddie George. It wouldn't surprise me if Jones because the starter soon. He has great vision and is much much faster than George.
