    • Actually, I looked over my analysis last year (after you, MRT, insisted I do a ranking and I was like wtf? Ranking? Here's them in draft order)... but my analysis last year was pretty on point... I was wrong only about the Chiefs and Favre/Randy Moss. I was right about Shady McCoy, Santana Moss, Maclin, Malcom Floyd, Dustin Keller... Maroney and Buckhalter sucking ass, etc.

        I said Mike Wallace-type upside. That's his ceiling.

        And yes, the last time Lee Evans was good, he had 1292 yards and 8 TDs... so he has been at Mike Wallace's level.

        But, as a #2 in Baltimore, he's not going to get targeted enough for 1000 yards. He'll probably get 800 yards and 7 TDs or something. He won't be consistent but he'll have world-beating weeks, I'm sure.

        It's been a long time since we last saw Lee Evans with a serviceable QB and not double-teamed.

                This is why you need to go deeper than stats, MRT.

                Buffalo games were tough to catch on tv but I recall much commentary about Lee Evans getting double-teamed which opened up Stevie Johnson quite a bit. Towards the end of the season, we saw a dramatic slip in Stevie Johnson's production. The guy who averaged 97 yards and scored 5 TDs in 6 games from his break-out vs. Baltimore suddenly dropped to 55.4 yards and only 1 score in the final 5 games of the season.

                What happened? Lee Evan's ankle, which sent him to IR, is what happened.

                All of a sudden, Stevie Johnson got the defensive attention Lee Evans had been getting and he struggled. Very simply, with no Lee Evans opposite him drawing away defensive attention, Stevie Johnson fell to mediocrity.

                  Pryor doesn't look to be heading along the Clarett road.

                      The same thing can be said about most weapons, WR or RB. If they're it, their stats are going to suffer.

                        So Lee Evans being the #2 in Baltimore and running free while Boldin gets the attention is going to be lovely for his stats this year.

                        Look, Derrick Mason had 802 yards and 7 TDs last year, 26th WR in fantasy points in our league last year. Lee Evans can at least match that.

                        1000 yards is going to be tough because Baltimore is a run-first team but 800 and 8 TDs is definitely likely for Evans. That will put him in top-25 WR territory.

                              • Well my list was not a ranking. It was random. But you, MRT, and myself do have the most top 25 RB's and WR's in the league.

                                With 5, that means we can start 2 RB's, 2 WR's, and a Flex and know that all the guys we are starting are projected by Yahoo to be top-25 guys at their positions. No one else in the league is in that position as of now.

                                Projections, obviously, will not come true but it is a good start
