Title: WINDOWS 2004 - Denver Broncos
Post by Philly on Jul 8^th, 2004, 1:42pm

No, this isn't a new Microsoft operating system release. This is your opportunity to share your statistical "windows" for players on each of the NFL teams. Our fearless leader, StegRock, refers to these statistical ranges as "windows" and, to show, due deference, I will continue that modus operandi.

Every few days as we lead up to the regular season, I'll post a new team. Put your estimated 2004 statistics for players on that team in the thread. If enough people participate, these threads should produce some pretty helpful information for player rankings leading up to your drafts.

Feel free to give windows for as many players as you feel confident. If you play IDP, go ahead and include some defensive player statistics as well. You can just list the player with the windows or you can give reasons for your rankings as well. Discussions of others' rankings are welcome too.

Be sure to scroll down the list and find the Windows for other teams and contribute there as well!

QB:
Jake Plummer: 3600-3900 PaYds, 20-22 TDs, 8-10 INTs, 200-250 RuYds, 1-2 TDs
I think Jake is a very solid choice at QB this season if he stays healthy. He knows the offense and his players now and is primed for a good season.

RB:
Quentin Griffin: 600-700 RuYds, 4-5 TDs, 200-250 ReYds, 1-2 TDs
Garrison Hearst: 350-450 RuYds, 3-4 TDs, 300-400 ReYds, 2-3 TDs
Mike Anderson: 200-300 RuYds, 5-6 TDs
Tatum Bell: 200-250 RuYds, 0-1 TDs, 100-150 ReYds
This is the million dollar question. I think Griffin gets the call early, with Anderson and Hearst vulturing the TDs. Hearst gets the work mid-season when Griffin is hurt. And Bell closes out the season. That's just a guess on my part...

WR:
Ashley Lelie: 1050-1150 ReYds, 6-7 TDs
Rod Smith: 700-800 ReYds, 4-5 TDs
Willie Jackson: 250-300 ReYds, 0-1 TDs
Darius Watts: 100-200 ReYds
I really think this is the year (magical third) that Lelie breaks out and becomes the #1 option. I see him as a very solid #2 FF WR. Rod Smith will continue to see his numbers decline and is being heavily overvalued in most fantasy drafts I've seen.

TE:
Jed Weaver: 450-525 ReYds, 3-5 TDs
Byron Chamberlain: 150-200 ReYds, 0-2 TDs
The other question on the Broncos is who is going to fill Sharpe's shoes. Weaver will be the #1 option at TE, but won't come close to Sharpe status. He will be a solid TE however.

QB
Jake Plummer - 3350 - 3750 yards, 20 - 24 touchdowns passing & 200 - 350 yards, 4 - 7 touchdowns rushing

RB
(This is where it gets difficult!)
The PIE - 1600 - 2000 yards, 18 - 22 touchdowns rushing & 500 - 750 yards, 7 - 10 touchdowns receiving...
Order in which I see the "PIE" being sliced up: 1) Tatum Bell, 2) Garrison Hearst, 3) Quentin Griffin, 4) Mike Anderson. That's the order in which I would draft them. In what percentages, I haven't a clue. ?.?.? But, I wouldn't at this point count on Bell to be more than a #3.

WR
Rod Smith - 950 - 1150 yards, 5 - 8 touchdowns receiving
Ashley Lelie - 700 - 1000 yards, 5 - 8 touchdowns receiving
Willie Jackson (who, by the way, I think is "particularly interesting"... assuming he makes the team) - 450 - 950 yards, 2 - 6 touchdowns receiving (WIDE-open)
