Most people love the idea of discovering a gem. Thats often how fantasy footballers see rookies -- people love to brag they had a breakout superstar player in his rookie year.While rookies have become more relevant in fantasy the past few seasons, you dont want to litter your team with them.Rookies this year dont appear to be as good as previous classes, but there are some good players that should be drafted and many that wont start with big roles but could grow.Keep these rookies on the radar:---DEVONTAE BOOKER (RB, Broncos)Booker is going to be the backup running back to C.J. Anderson. Booker has the skills to be a three-down back and Anderson has not been able to stay healthy the last two seasons. Booker is good between the tackles, has good vision and can catch the football. If you draft Anderson, Booker is someone you want to draft as a handcuff.---TYLER BOYD (WR, Bengals)Boyd is a possession receiver that could see a big role quickly. Boyd is vying with Brandon LaFell for a starting spot and Boyd has impressed in the preseason. The Bengals lost more than 150 targets with the departure of Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu, leaving a clear opportunity for Boyd.---COREY COLEMAN (WR, Browns)Coleman is explosive and is dangerous after the catch. He was the first receiver drafted this year at 15th overall. He will be the No. 1 receiver for the Browns while Josh Gordon is suspended and the offense will be better under coach Hue Jackson.---EZEKIEL ELLIOTT (RB, Cowboys)There has been a lot of hype for the fourth overall pick. He is being drafted in the first round of many fantasy drafts. Dont hesitate -- the Cowboys will rely on him heavily. Elliott is in a unique position for most rookie running backs: an exceptional talent who can catch and pass block well and playing on a team with one of the best offensive lines.---DERRICK HENRY (RB, Titans)Henry is a big back at 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds and starts the season in a complementary role to DeMarco Murray. The Titans want to run the ball a lot and Henry is a solid mid-round pick that could see more touches if he runs well.---TAJAE SHARPE (WR, Titans)Sharpes stock has risen due to his success in the preseason. Dorial Green-Beckham was traded to the Eagles and Sharpe is slated to start opposite Rishard Matthews. Sharpe has excellent hands and runs good routes. The Titans dont figure to pass a lot, but Sharpe comes cheap as a late-round pick.---STERLING SHEPARD (WR, Giants)Shepard is going to see a lot of snaps as the starter playing opposite Odell Beckham Jr. The Giants, who were sixth in pass attempts last season, will pass often again. Shepard runs good routes and will get a lot of targets in this offense.---MICHAEL THOMAS (WR, Saints)Thomas has good hands, quickness and size at 6-foot-3 and 212 pounds. That makes him a red zone threat in a pass-heavy offense. He should fill the role once held by Marques Colston, though the Saints spread the ball around.---Others to keep on the radar: Kenneth Dixon (RB, Ravens), Josh Doctson (WR, Redskins), Will Fuller (WR, Texans), Tyler Higbee (TE, Rams), Jordan Howard (RB, Bears), Malcolm Mitchell (WR, Patriots), C.J. Prosise (RB, Seahawks), Wendell Smallwood (RB, Eagles), Laquon Treadwell (WR, Vikings), DeAndre Washington (RB, Raiders).---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com .

Cheap Air Max Shoes Online .J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee. Allrounder Kieron Pollard has challenged the West Indies selectors rationale for dropping him for the tri-series in Zimbabwe in November. Pollard said he was told that he had not been committed to batting during the recent limited-overs games against Pakistan in UAE.Calling the decision funny, Pollard said he would not campaign or do anything to convince them to select him and instead focus on looking after himself in the future.What confused Pollard about his axing for the Zimbabwe tri-series was that, according to him, the West Indies chairman of selectors Courtney Browne had agreed during a conversation in the UAE that his experience would be good in a young squad.When chairman of selectors Courtney Browne notified me via email of my axing, I reminded him of why my exclusion was funny because during the Twenty20 and one-day series, the two of us had a long conversation, speaking about wanting to have guys such as myself around going forward in West Indies cricket, Pollard told ESPNcricinfo.Pollard said he sought clarification from Browne on why he had been dropped. He said I wasnt committed to batting during the tour, which I pressed him to clarify further because it was a broad statement. I asked specifically if this commitment he interpreted I wasnt giving also related to my bowling, fielding and advice to captain Jason Holder. And he said no, and stressed it was just batting and, in his view, I was not trying.Pollard was angry his commitment had been questioned. A lot people tend to say Pollard and many of us are mercenaries and have given nothing to West Indies cricket. While its clear I dont have the stats or the figures of a Brian Lara, nobody, as some were trying to suggest, can ever question my commitment or integrity while playing. Why would I wake up one morning and just decide I wouldnt want to try? Scoring runs is how I survive.Browne said he stood by the decision to drop Pollard. Kierons performance in the ODI series was far below what one expects from a player of his experience and his effort level was not what is expected from West Indies cricketers, Browne told ESPNcricinfo. Kieron is therefore urged to compete in our domestic competitions, where he will have an additional opportunity to demonstrate his ability and can be considered again for selection.Before the tour of the UAE, Pollard had made 22 and 13 in the Florida T20Is against India in August, and prior to that he made 205 runs with two half-centuries in the home tri-series against Australia and South Africa in June. Pollard had been on the sidelines in ODIs for a year and a half from October 2014, before he returned foor the tri-series in which West Indies finished runners-up.dddddddddddd In the UAE, Pollard scored 43 runs and bowled only two overs in the three T20Is against Pakistan in September. In the three ODIs that followed, Pollard made 42 runs and took one wicket in 12 overs. West Indies lost both series 0-3 to Pakistan. During the tour, former Pakistan fast bowler Waqar Younis, who was working as a commentator, had also said Pollard should be dropped for lack of effort.Defending his performances, Pollard said that had he batted aggressively and failed, he may have been labelled as irresponsible. I referred to him [Browne] in detail the match scenarios of each of my innings on tour and stated that if I had played a typical Pollard aggressive innings, in situations where the team was always in trouble - they would have claimed irresponsible batting from a senior player.Pollard said the West Indies team was not in the right mind-set during the UAE tour because the coach Phil Simmons had been sacked by the WICB the day the squad left the Caribbean. Poor communication between players and coaching staff, lack of clear inputs in team meetings from the coaches, and very ridiculous training schedules, were problems Pollard highlighted.One minute the teams media manager, or even oddly the physio, was answering various questions, he said. And when pressed they said their instructions came from the top, which is a line Ive never heard when Simmons or any other West Indies coach I played [under] used.Pollard said he had been prepared mentally to be targeted by the WICB after West Indies pulled out of the India tour in October 2014 because of an issue with player contracts. Its an attack on senior players. Look at the team right now. Only Marlon Samuels is a senior guy around in most formats, other are ineligible outside of T20s because of their selection policy which inadvertently targets us. You could say our axing is the final puzzle of removing the seniors and they have come up with any reason that suits them to get certain individuals out of the set-up. Samuels had not been in favour of West Indies not completing the tour of India.What now then for Pollard? Will he play domestic cricket in West Indies , like Browne had recommended? Im 29 years old, but the way people talk of me being a senior player or veteran you would swear my age is 39. Realistically now I just have to look after Kieron Pollard. So Im not going to campaign or do anything to try and convince them to pick me again. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
