gilthorp Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I was "this close" to picking him up and starting him, but didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Picked him up & almost started him, since I like him double dipping w/ Kitna, but I couldn't find an excuse to remove Holt, Driver, or A Johnson in favor of Furrey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentastic Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I picked him up and started him on gameday in AGS (BOTH). I'm still smiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziachild007 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Picked him up in 3 leagues, but didnt start him in any. Luckily the guys I played outscored him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Started him in MSHB, the only league I own him in. Up against him in 2 leagues. Have him in 3 other leagues. Started him in two leagues and lost both anyway, and benched him in the other and won that one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I played against him in one league and he was the difference - I lost. I have to admit I had no clue who he was when I saw my opponent's lineup. How the heck did all you folks know about him - and even start him?

yo mama Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 (edited) I played against him in one league and he was the difference - I lost. I have to admit I had no clue who he was when I saw my opponent's lineup. How the heck did all you folks know about him - and even start him? I noticed that after Weeks 1 and 2 that he'd been targeted a healthy number of times (14). What sold me was that he caught 11 of those 14 passes for an astounding 78.57% reception ratio, and 122 yards. While he'd not seen any looks in the red zone yet, I figured in PPR leagues he'd be a lock for around 5 receptions and 50 yards each week, which made him a solid bye week/injury filler. Week 3 didn't really pan out as I expected, but at least he still saw 7 pass targets, so I figured the upside did exist. Then Bradford got cut last week and everything I read about Furrey said he'd cemented the #2 WR spot because he knew Martz' offense inside and out. Detroit's DEF isn't the type that really shuts opponents down (Week 1 notwithstanding), and Martz knows how to score points, so I thought Furrey was in the right place at the right time to step up. And frankly, outside of Kevin Jones and Roy Williams, there was room for another play maker in an offense that was going to have to throw a lot. Week 4 will likely go down as Furrey's best game of 2006, but it's worth noting that he caught 8 of the 9 balls thrown his way in Week 4 (and the one ball he didn't catch was basically uncatchable) and still has a crazy 73% season-to-date reception ratio. So I firmly believe he'll continue to be useful going forward. At the very least, you know Kitna and Martz are probably going to trust the guy a lot more now.

I started Roy Williams, the guy who is supposed to be gettin ghtose TD's mama! Well, now that you metion it... You know, if I were to bench the Eagles' DEF right now, I'd lock up a win against you. But (borrowing from theeohiostate's other thread) I just cannot bring myself to play a bye week DEF against you when I've got a legit play at that position on my roster. Man, I really don't like our DEF scoring rules. Edited October 2, 2006 by yo mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Should'a read the Free Agent Forecast a couple weeks ago...LINK What's really ironic is that I already picked up three of the top four on that list. I just missed Furrey altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
