*The NSFL Depth Chart - WR/TE Edition - majesiu - 08-18-2018 Why did I decide to merge WR/TE positions in one article? Simply because they are often used in each other place. Some teams didn't use real TE for seasons and opted to use 4th WR (or other positions like Receiving/All-around RB, even CBs) instead as slot/flanker. Hopefully, this still makes the article readable even if there will be a lot of players and data mentioned. Plan of releases: 1. 8/14 - K/P 2. 8/15 - QB 3. 8/15 - RB 4. 8/16 - DE/DE 5. 8/16 - LB 6. 8/17 - S 7. 8/17 - CB 8. 8/18 - WR/TE 9. 8/18 - League-wide picture and further analysis All values used were based on the last update of the regular season (not the playoffs one, to give all teams equal chance). Quite possible this will become a seasonal thing if there will be interest in it. A. Current Overview 1. [S3] - Trey Willie 1206 TPE - WR 2. [S2] - Eric Kennedy 1025 TPE - WR 3. [S3] - Charlie Law 949 TPE - WR 4. [S5] - Carlito Crush 916 TPE - WR 5. [S1] - Bradley Westfield 873 TPE - WR 6. [S2] - Dustin Evans 815 TPE - WR 7. [S2] - Paul DiMirio 743 TPE - TE 8. [S7] - Howard Miller 725 TPE - WR 9. [S3] - Budda Browning 722 TPE - WR 10. [S1] - Alexandre LeClair 669 TPE - WR 11. [S1] - Mayran Jackson 665 TPE - WR 12. [S6] - Carter Bush 634 TPE - WR 13. [S2] - Ardie Savea 627 TPE - TE 14. [S7] - Verso L'Alto 625 TPE - TE 15. [S5] - Tegan Atwell 591 TPE - WR 16. [S6] - Dwayne Aaron 575 TPE - WR 17. [S6] - Glenn McPoyal 558 TPE - TE 18. [S2] - Fox North 520 TPE - WR 19. [S1] - Bailey Cook 483 TPE - WR 20. [S1] - Josh Garden 478 TPE - WR 21. [S1] - Robert Phelps 472 TPE - WR 22. [S2] - C.A Chess 447 TPE - WR 23. [S3] - Franklin Harris Jr. 436 TPE - TE 24. [S1] - Shane Weston 404 TPE - WR 25. [S8] - Viggo Squanch 400 TPE - WR 26. [S9] - Declan Harp 376 TPE - TE 27. [S8] - Balthazar Crindy 327 TPE - TE 28. [S5] - John Wachter 290 TPE - WR 29. [S3] - Brian Wheat 284 TPE - WR 30. [S9] - Xavier Flash 284 TPE - WR 31. [S9] - Vinny Valentine 276 TPE - WR 32. [S1] - Cooper Christmas 267 TPE - WR S3 Trey Willie was the Top WR for S9, probably will be overtaken by S5 Carlito Crush already this season with regression being applied, who will feel the breath on his neck of S7 Howard Miller. A lot of players on this list already retired and S10 will be their last including Eric Kennedy, Bradley Westfield, Dustin Evans (won't play in S10), Robert Phelps and Mayran Jackson. Obviously the gap is big, but actually isn't that significant if we assume team would use 3 WR and 1 TE then average TPE would be higher for Tight Ends. Blue - Sum of TPE in that regression class, red - a number of players, yellow - average TPE in that class. That's a lot of quality and among QBs and LBs this is the most elite position. It's in excellent shape too, even though still a lot of S1/S2/S3 talent plays the biggest role in many teams, there are worthy successors in any draft class since S5, especially S9 class looks very promising with a lot of developed talent there already. B. Team Needs and Prospects Breakdown Each team will receive a current grade (1-10 scale), based on average TPE of players manning the position (1 - ~50 TPE, 2 ~100 TPE, 3 ~200 TPE). Next grade - future grade - is more subjective since I also tried to estimate regression impact and current prospects in the system - 10 would mean a team has a serviceable player that could last up to 8 more seasons in that position, whole 1 means they have to draft/sign a player asap in that position. It's obviously a bit more complicated since activity also matters here and the more base TPE player currently has the longer he can fight regression. Since it's much harder to get all players on top earning level I adjusted grades, so required averages for each grade are lower than in case of RB/QB so far. Current Grade / Future Grade 10/10 10/4 9/7 7/5 6/8 5/4 4/8 3/7 Prospects Watch (Interesting S9-S11 players): 1. [S9] - Declan Harp TE 376 TPE: 2. [S9] - Xavier Flash WR 284 TPE: 3. [S9] - Vinny Valentine WR 276 TPE: 4. [S10] - Kazimir Oles WR 222 TPE: 5. [S9] - Zapp Brannigan TE 212 TPE: 6. [S10] - Felix Hasselhoff WR 169 TPE: 7. [S10] - Emilia Rudd TE 153 TPE: 8. [S9] - ShaDarrien LaMelllana WR 127 TPE: 9. [S10] - Jordan von Matt WR 124 TPE: 10. [S10] - Taylor Peterson WR 108 TPE: 11. [S10] - Chinwemma Yobanna-Kanayochukwu TE 105 TPE: 12. [S9] - Blake Marchand WR 94 TPE: 13. [S10] - Tanner Hendrix WR 90 TPE: 14. [S11] - Thjalfi Halvorsen WR 57 TPE: A lot of prospects which bodes really well for the future of the NSFL offenses and among some possible changes to the playbook (vertical redo) receivers may outshine recent RB resurgence yet again. S10 has huge potential with 1 surefire pick in Kazimir Oles and other decent options that should prove to be serviceable in the near future. It will be hard to outbid the S9 draft though, that already has several NSFL ready players. And to wrap this up quick values showing how many TPE you need to break into any NSFL team roster, how many decent NSFL players are on the team rosters currently and how many good prospects are in the pipeline. TPE to break into the NSFL Roster: 268 Current NSFL ready (250+) players: 33 Prospects (S8 200+ TPE, S9 150+, S10 100+): 12
