I have him in my keeper league, and was pretty happy with him last year. I wsh he would have been more consistent, but the TD's were super! Anyway, I think the offense is on the verge of  taking off. I think he should be much more consistent this year. I think he could get 1600 yards rush, 400 rush, and 16 TD's. Am I crazy  , or have I gone too far  , or am I  ? |

Well.... I think you probably went to far. I think he is probably more like a 1100 yard back. He will continue to get a majority of the Seahawks TD's. But Seattles Offense is totally inconsistant. Granted, they had a solid second half of the year, but I am not so sure it will carry over.
There will be a correlation between Hasselback and Alexander. Do you really believe Hasselback is going to continue his torrid pace? If so, Alexander's numbers may be higher, but I just can't believe in Hasselback.

My "windows" for Alexander this upcoming year right now/for now are: 1,200 to 1,600 yards rushing, perhaps 250 to 500 yards receiving, and 12 to 18 total touchdowns. I know those "windows" are W-I-D-E! But, that is how I analyze things. As long as you analyze players uniformly, your system is (logically) valid. In accordance, I do all my player predictions with "windows" and the differences in players' values become apparent. BUT, unlike systems dependent on just one line of stats, the "windows" system seems to illustrate, or even "honor" and/or "respect," the "grayness" of it all infinitely more than single-line predictions. I have not even come close to putting together a list yet, but, to put the numbers I gave above into some sort of context, I would preliminarily guess that Alexander would fall about #5 or 6 on my list.

He addmititly does no work in the offseason at all, and in the NFL that is bound to catch up to you. He is also a boom or bust weekly performer like CD, which I think sucks from a fantasy stand point. He was almost benched for Mercury Morris last year for christ sakes. If you are counting on him as your number one back, you better be stacked at your other positions! |

What did he have last year, 1500 yards and 16 TD's. Show me 10 guys with better stats. I'm not saying he is the top 1, 2, or even 3. But I think he is a top 5 or 6 back!

Try "Mercury in your Corn Flakes", ZAGman! Alexander will likely be Top-10, perhaps even Top-5 with a little fortune, and barring injury, worst-case scenario, Top-15. This guy is not going to drop off the planet. I don't care how lame his offseason regiment is!

Just fot the record Alexander had 1635 total yds last year. The following guys all had more total yards.
1.Deuce McAllister
2.M.Bennett
3.T.Barber
4.LT
5.G.Garner
6.P.Holmes
7.C.Portis
8.F.Taylor
9.J.Lewis
10.R.Williams
11.T.Henery
Plus Faulk, A.Green, and C.DIllon just fell short of that nomber. You may think he is top 10, but I don't!

season. 
, but could have been more consistent. I think that the whole Seahawks offense will 
explode this year, which will help SA be more consistent on a week to week basis. I could easily see 1450 rushing with 17 total TD's, which is pretty good in my book.
