Adam has been pretty much the same player for a while, with pretty moderate variations. He is priced accurately and will probably about what he did before. Being a Bulldog might agree with him, so a higher average wouldn’t be a shock. It is also possible that he’ll somehow drop from all the dogs fighting for points, but that’s something that doesn’t seem to happen in practice much.

At 25 he could once again improve on his average. I can’t say he is floor priced, that’s awfully optimistic, but I think at worse he is accurately priced with a better than normal chance to break out. Every time I take him out of my team I regret it and put him back in. From the little we know of the new rules, they seem to suit him.

		104-110		107

At 28, we know just who he is and he might be the definition of accurately priced. The big knock on him is lack of upside, and why go with him when so many others have more upside for about the same price?

He is 33 and just has his highest score since 2017. He’s climbing through the ceiling to the roof, and either way is a terrible choice. Playing Frogger at an advanced level now, he has a date with a beer truck coming soon. Gary held his average from 32 to 33, and then dropped hard every year after. Pendles could do the same but he also might go a year sooner, since while Scotty was great, Gary was even better. Even Pies fans should be avoiding him this year.

2020	16	110.7	24	106
		103-113		107

History says he is ceiling priced, although I’m thinking he might be closer to accurately priced. But either way he has good risk of being himself again, and unless you think being at the Crows will somehow make him better than he was, faster, stronger, well, why?

 

Stephen Coniglio

		98-108		103

He sure has his ups and downs, although his 2020 average is only 3 lower than his 2019 average. Priced about right, maybe a little low. His miss last year was being dropped so that’s a thing. Does have an injury history even taking that into account. Not a terrible pick but probably not the best available.  

 

Tim Taranto

Year	Games	Average	Age	TLA
2017	12	66.5	19
2018	21	88.7	20	90
2019	22	102.4	21	98
2020	11	84.5	22	98
		95-105		98

He’s at the magic age of 23, although he shows zero sign of being an uber-premo, he at least Could go back up to his 2019 average, which he is priced 18 points below. Floor priced for sure. Assuming he is healthy he could be a bargain. It would help if the Giants pulled whatever is stuck somewhere from wherever it is stuck. Not euphemisms, I have no idea what where that is causing them to be so wacky and zany. If they can cut back to just wacky that would be a big help to all their Supercoach assets. Of course they could go full Wacky, Zany, and Kooky, in which case, well, would be fun to watch for all non GWS fans. It is very hard to imagine his going down and he is cheap, so way temping even with whatever is going on at his team.  Another downside is that even if he goes up 20 points he is still a mid averaging 105.

		110-120		115

After a 27 point increase in average, it is very likely he drops back down, extra so shine that average was in the Bizzaro season. He’s just a bad risk this year. Of course he could stay at the ceiling he is clinging to, but that usually just happens in cartoons. Love the player, but not in SC this year. Well, to start, you never know who will become cheap during this season. 

 

Thanks for reading!
