HowboutthemCowboys Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 You Bobby Engram owners starting him this week? I want to but I am a little nerveous about him 1st week back. What are your predictions? I picked him up 2 weeks ago. I'm waiting a week. If I did'nt think I had better options I'd run him out there. 6 catches. 55 yds.

SLAYER Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Drafted him in two leagues and have been sitting on him for four weeks, what's one more. Have no idea what to expect, Hass has Branch and Engram back, How that divides up nobody knows because neither one has been on the field yet. Throwin they are travelling across country to play the defending World Champs. I have decent enough options that sitting him one more week ain't going to kill me.

Kid Cid Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I'm desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBalata Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Have him in 3 leagues. Going to start him in two of them. I have a couple of "ok" options I could put in instead, but I figure he should be able to at least do the same. Hoping for more. I figure it this way...he's not coming off some kind of foot/leg injury, so he should be in fairly good shape. No worries on whether he can plant or cut like he should. I also don't see any reason to be that concerned about his timing or getting into the swing of things. He's been playing with Hasslebeck quite a few years, shouldn't take a whole lot for them to click like old times. They're going to have to throw quite a bit tomorrow, Hass will be happy to see him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBalata Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I'm desperate. Exactly the reason I am starting him. He might only catch a few passes for 50-60 yards. But thats been the average for the other options I have. I need the higher upside he can possibly provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onbrake Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I would let him sit your bench this week plenty other options out there.I predict 2 catches 25 yrds at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swashbucklers Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Thinking about it, but not quite sure. I have Berrian in right now, but may put Engram in at the last minute. That always seems to work out, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Thinking about it, but not quite sure. I have Berrian in right now, but may put Engram in at the last minute. That always seems to work out, right? That switch would be kookoo, IMO. E2A: Just noticed that Berrian's listed as questionable. Did not know that. Maybe you play it safe and go with Engram.

Seahawks21 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I don't see any scenario where Bobby has less than four catches. I'm starting him, but then again, I'm probably the only one hear who owns his jersey, so take it as you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelhead Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I've got Smitty, Roy Williams, Lance Moore, Walter, and Engram. I'm sitting Engram one more week and rolling with Smith, Roy, and Moore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 He will get at LEAST 4-5 catches and IMO very good chance for a TD. I think you're nuts to start Roy Wms over him. Course I also thought Grant would tear it up this year so........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I have similar level guys like Reggie Brown and Matt Jones as options. I'd like to give Engram a week to play football before plugging him in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I have Marshall, Wayne, Welker, Cotch, Breaston and Engram.... I'm still sitting Engram this week and right now he's my #4 or #5 at best... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I'm starting him in 2 leagues--bye weeks and Colston riding pine until he returns leaves me w/ no other choice....please hurry back Colston, stick that hand in a bariatric chamber or something, acupuncture, hypnosis, anything to get U back!!!!!

rattsass Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Starting Engram, not much of a choice in the matter though. I think he will be fine, but not expecting more than 10-15 points in PPR. Edited October 4, 2008 by rattsass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I've got Smitty, Roy Williams, Lance Moore, Walter, and Engram. I'm sitting Engram one more week and rolling with Smith, Roy, and Moore The way the Lions have played lately, I'd be tempted to play Kevin Walter over Roy Will... Maybe the Lions will showcase Roy then trade him to a real team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Lions will showcase Roy then trade him to a real team. I am very tempted to play Walter over Roy. Last week's lineup of Smith, Walter, and Moore did very well for me. Not expecting that every week though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoTheWebToedBoy Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I've had him stashed on the bench in 4 leagues. But only starting him in one In the leagues I'm keeping him on the bench I'm starting A. Bryant or R. White The other league I'm starting him over T. Gonzales in a Flex Position I'm thinking by next week..... I will be starting in all my leagues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke davenport Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I've too been holding him. I'm going Matt Jones/Lance Moore (and Calvin Johnson) over him and waiting one more week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) Not sure if this is the week to go with either Branch or Engram. I guess if you don't have any better options, they are certainly worth trotting out there. However, I figured I'd post this article I read for those of you having to make a decision on either WR, to digest and consider when making those final lineup decisions tomorrow. The important part is what I cut and posted below. http://www.thenewstribune.com/sports/seaha...ory/499268.html Branch and Engram to play Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren on Friday morning confirmed that both Deion Branch and Bobby Engram will play against the Giants. Holmgren said Branch will start at flanker, though he did not know how much Branch – or Engram – would be able to play. He said he hoped for half the number of offensive play calls. Engram will play the slot, while Holmgren still is deciding if Billy McMullen or Keary Colbert will start at split end. So they could play more, could play less but I guess it just comes down to how effective they are in the game. Engram had a shoulder injury so I imagine that he's been able to keep his conditioning at a high level. Whereas, Branch had a knee injury and may not have the stamina he needs to play all the snaps or make it through the entire game. Time will tell.

MrTed46 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Sounds risky...thanks for post Irish. I may comb the WW and see if i can get better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hey, I gotta point outta Engram, 1 catch 10 yds!!!! Keep it going dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efi4eye Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I started Engram today and he did well enough. Picked him over Eddie Royal, although my ff opponent this week is one of the weaker ones. His outlook from here on is not bad considering Engram was on the FA block a week ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelhead Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I started Roy over him. Roy got me 0.5 more pts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
