Thoughts on the top fantasy rookie this year (in terms of production)? I'm not talking total potential. Just who will have the most fantasy pts at the end of the year.
The obvious thinking is one of the RBs. I'm going to go with an unconventional pick and say Forte. My thinking:
1) Run DMC will be a 50/50 time share w/ Fargas. Expect Fargas to get the early starts, similar to Chester & AP last year. However, don't be fooled - this is not the same situation. AP is a different runner than McFadden. McFadden should get the starting position at some point, but I don't think it'll be until after the midway point of the season. Unless Fargas goes down (a real possibility).
2) Stewart is a beast, very true. DeAngelo will still get his PT, so another timeshare - 50/50 at best for Stewart. Given their different styles, I almost envision something in-line with what the Jags run with Taylor and MJD. However, I am just not convinced that Carolina can run the ball.
3) Forte is the clear #1 in Chicago. Wolfe and the poor-man's AP aren't really competition. Plus, Cedric "Puff Daddy" Benson was on pace for 1000 yards last year, despite averaging a meak 3.4 ypc. Bottomline, the Bears like to run the ball. Plus Forte is the anti-Benson. He's a strong runner and will not shy from contact (or fall down at the first hit like Benson).
Anyone care to counter?
