Ulterior Motives Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Didn't catch this until now, but always like to respond if questioned about my rankings. Your point is well taken on Jennings, and before season's end he may be higher, but there still seems to be an incosistancy on the GB receivers. One week it's Jennings with the big week, one week Jones, another week Lee (TE) and of course Driver. So, at this point Jennings stays put at around 40, give or take a spot or two based on other movement, but should be watched for movement as the season progresses. Either way top 40 is still someone you should be watching for the future. VP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mphtrilogy Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Jennings has to be considered the #1WR in GB right now. That makes him a top 20 WR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keggerz Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) Jennings is a big play threat for sure but look at his numbers a bit more closely and you can see that there is reason for concern that reason is that he really relies on the big play and it is difficult to rely on players consistently putting up big plays he has 4 TDs that are over 41 yards(41, 57, 60, 82) those 4 TDs account for 15% of his catches on the year(27 or an average of 3.85/game(he has only played in 7 games) which is a pace of 62 receptions) those 4 TDs also account for 240 of his 517 receiving yards or 46% of his yards have come on 4 catches... I can see why people like Jennings but I can also see why he is ranked where he is. Edited November 13, 2007 by keggerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why people like Jennings but I can also see why he is ranked where he is. Look at his numbers a bit more closely and you see he has scored in 5 of 9 games(including a 2 TD effort) for a total of 6 TDs in 9 games. He is a big play type, but he is fairly consistent, too. I am pretty sure there are not 30-something other WRs that can say that. That said, the rankings are obviously based on potential/past performance because otherwise there is no explanation for guys like Andre Johnson or Javon Walker to be ranked where they are at this point in the season. Rankings are always skewed by the ranker's perception of the rankee. Therefore, the only rankings you should rely on are your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulterior Motives Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Tough to argue with either of the previous two posts. I happen to like Jennings, but feel pretty much as stated a couple posts previous. However, as the last post stated, you do have to remember that rankings are just that...rankings based on that person's particular bend on things. But we usually do - or at least I'll speak for myself - is try to bring in as many facts as possible and let those guide our wrankings.

Tally Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Jennings is getting just as many looks as Driver is plus he gets the big play looks and he also has more TD's in fewer games...definitely the best GB receiver to have right now.

xtra Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) 39 is low and 40 is even worse Boldin,Bowe,Driver,White,Johnson and Evans are few Id put behind him on my list.But I think it takes a while to drop or pass players on a weekly basis from the looks of it.My first year and I really havent paid enought attention to be sure.

Randall Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) I have him at 17. Name the 23 players ahead of him. The guy is now Favre's top target. What did you do put Moss in a category all by himself? Last week he was on a bye. He was 15 because of it.

He was 15 because of it. Bump. Another 2 TD's. He has become Favre's favorite big play threat and Driver is looking like a possession receiver.

rajncajn Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I traded Derrick Ward for him earlier in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 He was dropped by someone in one league after week 2. Things didn't look good back then. He was great early in his rookie season but then got hurt. He doesn't have measurable speed but runs crisp routes and I don't remember anyone catching him from behind. He has game speed.

peepinmofo Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I traded for him in the offseason based on his perfrmance last year. I moved J Walker and Reggie Bush for Jennings, Gore, and a 1st round rookie pick that will likely be one in the last 2 or 3. Im happy with the trade, but Gore has stunk it up for me. Jennings has been money for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm rolling out Fitz, Brandon Marshall and Chad Johnson as well... Started 5wr 1 rb this week... So far i'm looking pretty good this week.
