Knowshon's Fantasy Value

by Pierre Coghill on Aug 31, 2009 11:51 PM MDT

I know that many out there are fantasy football lovers. It is so hard to gauge the value of rookies every season. Especially when they play for coaches in new systems. Knowshon could be the next T. Davis #30 or he could spend his rookie year doing situational work only.

No one really knows, especially since he has only played a few series in the first game of the preseason against the 49ers. 3 attempts, 18 years with a long of 9 yards. So far thats all we hav to go by in the NFL.

He will be sought after in most drafts, due to his being such a star in college. I see him as a 4th or 5th rounder in a 10 team league. I think he will go much sooner than that, however. He has potential, but I don't see him being used consistently enough in the Josh McDaniel's system to warrant a 2nd or 3rd rounder.

But if he were to develop into as big as a threat as a guy like Adrian Peterson we would have to put him in much more often. I could see him catching a lot of balls as Kyle Orton's safety valve. In point-per-reception leagues I would see him as a larger value.

Who knew that Eddie Royal would be such an impressive WR in his rookie year? I think I will be drafting another Bronco rookie onto my team this year, what about you?

As we all know a fantasy draft will take on a life of its own very quickly, and there might be a run on a certain position, etc...but if you were given the opportunity what round would you select Knowshon in your fantasy draft? I'm thinking a 10 team league?

I honestly wouldn't draft him...

unless he was still around in rounds 5 or 6 and I looked to still be weak at RB.

He’s too much of an unknown for me. I play fantasy football to win, not to take chances. :)

I don’t want breakaway speed. I want break-some-poor-fool-as-I-bowl-you-over power getting 6 yards off a play that should have been stopped for 2 at most.

...and I picked him up

in 6th round after M. Turner and M. Lynch. Ofcourse I ended up picking W. Parker in the 9th as well in one of my Fantasy Drafts… haha

I picked him up in both of my fantasy leagues

Later than 5th round in both. Fingers crossed for him to get off my bench. lol

Good value Play

I would take him easy in the later rounds for the potential upside. In the league today finding a clear #1 guy outside the first round is tough. To get a RBBC guy with his potential later in the draft is a great value.

Last year I scored big with Chris Johnson this way.

Tis better not to throw it to the deep receiver but the open receiver.

I didn't vote because

I felt like 7th round was when to pull the trigger. :)

I got Royal in the 5th (total steal IMO) and picked up Moreno after I already drafted my 2 RB starters.

If/when he becomes the starter I will have a great situation.

A proud prognostication of 10-6 in 2009!!!

Not me

I don’t let emotions get the best of me in fantasy football. This is why I skipped on Eddie Royal and Moreno. I think Moreno missing most of training camp and team workouts has caught up with him. Injuries happen but I still believe he could have been better prepared.

BMarsh’s status is unpredictable so he won’t be effective in my league. Needless to say it appears my FF team is Bronco-less for now.

In my league

he was picked in the 7th round, but not by me. I traded for him later on.
