Hope you have been enjoying this series, predicting who will be starting at each position in 2013.  Of course there will be many changes based on the results of the draft in April, as well as other happenings during the off season, so I’ll re-visit each column later in the summer.  But for those of us in dynasty and keeper leagues, some shrewd moves early in the off season based on forward thinking can really pay off.  I’ll provide a list of the 2012 Receivers and the percentage of the total receptions they had in 2012, and then list who I think the top five receivers on each team will be and the percentage of catches I think each will get in 2013.  Keep in mind even if it’s not indicated in my team summaries, any team can take a wide receiver somewhere in the draft so especially the #3 to #5 wideouts could be replaced through the draft.  I’ve shown the backs and tight ends for reference as either can eat into a receiver’s production.

2013 Forecast – NFC Quarterbacks

Time for another column in my ongoing series over the off season, predicting who will be starting at each position in 2013.  Of course there will be many changes based on the results of the draft in April, as well as other happenings during the off season, so I’ll re-visit each column later in the summer.  But for those of us in dynasty and keeper leagues, some shrewd moves early in the off season based on forward thinking can really pay off.  For running backs, simply determining who will start is not really enough information.  The starter for Team A may be a true lead dog and get a clear majority of touches while on Team B the starter may only get a handful more touches than the backup.  So I’ll provide a list of the running backs and provide a percentage of the total touches (running attempts and receptions by running back) I think each will get.  I’ve shown the fullbacks and quaterbacks mostly for reference as either can eat into a running back’s production.
