Pkillebr Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I'm wondering how you guys are looking at Westbrook. If you look at his production from the last two years, it's clear why he's in the top 3, the top 5 at worst, in most drafts and rankings. I'm having trouble with the risk vs. reward on this guy though. Is this the year that he actually plays all 16 games? You can normally expect one or two big busts and I see a lot of red flags with Westbrook. Is he 2008's Shaun Alexander or will we see another 2000+ yard / 12+ TD season?

Hat Trick Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Will he play all 16 games...possibly, but I doubt it. He is pretty much one of the best for sure things in the 1st round not named Tomlinson IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawks21 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 He will be questionable at least 10 times, and play in at least 14 games. The problem is that the two weeks that he doesn't end up playing, you won't know, because he is a gametime decision so often. He will get you a few zeros, but will also win you lots of fantasy football games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 He will get you a few zeros, but will also win you lots of fantasy football games. Unless, of course, he intentionally falls at the one-yard line instead of scoring a TD to let his team run out the clock... But what are the chances of something like that happening?

I looked back to last season and found Westbrook to be the #1 Fantasy back in my scoring system.....right now I have him in my top 3, but his wheels are due to fall off completely IMO within the next couple of years...

So would you keep Jax or Westy in a PPR keeper league? Edited August 20, 2008 by Standale Connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 With Brown and Curtis injured, they'll be looking to Westy again to carry the load. I have him at #3 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
