Title: WINDOWS 2004 - Oakland Raiders
Post by Philly on Aug 4^th, 2004, 12:46pm

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!

QBs
Kerry Collins: 1600-1900 PaYds, 10-14 TDs, 8-10 INTs
Rich Gannon: 1200-1500 PaYds, 8-10 TDs, 3-5 INTs
This one is tough to call. Gannon still has the job, but I've got to believe that Collins will get more time than Gannon this season. Collins has the bigger arm and would fit Norv Turner's downfield passing game better. Draft with care here.

RBs
Tyrone Wheatley: 800-900 RuYds, 7-8 TDs
Justin Fargas: 600-700 RuYds, 4-5 TDs
Again, another position that is difficult to predict. Wheatley should win the job outright and keep it most of the year, however Fargas will get his fair share of carries. Expect Zereoue and Hambrick to be non-factors.

WRs
Jerry Porter: 900-1000 ReYds, 6-8 TDs
Jerry Rice: 650-750 ReYds, 4-6 TDs
With Tim Brown on his way out, Jerry Porter should get bumped up the draft board a bit. He should be a tremendous #3 FF WR and possibly even a solid #2. Rice is a #4. Keep an eye on the #3 WR position. Could be Doug Gabriel, Carlos Francis, Johnnie Morant, or Alvis Whitted. Whoever it is, they could be a sleeper pick.

TEs
Teyo Johnson: 500-550 ReYds, 4-5 TDs
Doug Jolley: 250-350 ReYds, 2-3 TDs
It looks like Teyo is going to emerge as the #1 guy here. Both are talented, but neither will be a stud. Teyo should be available on waivers after your draft, so grab him if needed.

QB
Rich Gannon - 900 - 1200 yards, 5 - 8 touchdowns passing
Kerry Collins - 2000 - 2500 yards, 9 - 14 touchdowns passing

RB
Tyrone Wheatley - 800 - 1025 yards, 4 - 6 touchdowns rushing
Justin Fargas - 600 - 1000 yards, 4 - 6 touchdowns rushing & 200 - 400 yards, 1 - 2 touchdowns receiving
Zack Crockett - marginal yardage, 5 - 8 touchdowns rushing
(Expect A LOT of vulturing to go on here, both touchdown-wise AND yardage-wise!)

WR
Jerry Rice - 800 - 1100 yards, 3 - 7 touchdowns receiving
Jerry Porter - 750 - 1100 yards, 4 - 7 touchdowns receiving

TE
Teyo Johnson and Doug Jolley practically to essentially mitigate to marginalize each other's fantasy value. This offense will improve, but this isn't Indianapolis where a Dallas Clark and Marcus Pollard can both have fantasy viability.
