BeeR Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) For various reasons but still - unbelievable how many WRs have disappointed at least somewhat or one helluva lot - for ex Moss Owens Colston Wayne Roy Wms Edwards Burress etc etc P-U Definitely a year to have a strong running game. And Fitz. Edited November 20, 2008 by BeeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Add Chris Chambers to that list. I know he had the ankle injury, but he wasn't exactly lighting it up even before that happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantasyfreak Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) I actually think you can even add Andre Johnson to the list given how good of a player he is and how inconsistent he's been this year. He's been hamstrung by his QB and opposing defenses keying on him. I have been disappointed with Marvin Harrison, too. I think he has a chance to come on the rest of the season though with him seemingly more in tune with Manning.

gsmayes Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) First of all, WRs are by their nature inconsistent. Andre Johnson and Reggie Wayne are ranked 4th and 7th in my ppr league. If you're looking for 100 yards and/or a TD every week, your going to be disappointed by all but the top 1 or 2 WRs every year. Most top 10 WRs have 3-4 bad games, 3-4 huge games and the rest okay games through the course of a season.

pig devilz Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Housh has been a disappointment, but not really his fault. Royal has been a nice find. So many QB's have been hurt, which is a major reason for the WR drop off, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 So this is the year you pass on RB's in favor of WR's huh? Good call gents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 My first four picks in my lcoal have all been disappointments: 1. TO :D 2. Lynch ... where has last week been all year 3. SSmith ... I took the hit on his suspension ... but he has been a hugh disappointment after his suspension 4. SHolmes Needless to say I'm on the outside looking in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsOfKnee Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Engram and Roy W made both of my squads this year. I suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I don't know how Reggie Wayne gets on the list. In my PPR league he is the # 8 receiver. a top 10 finish is the reason I draft a "stud", and he's in a group separated by 10 points from the #5 to the #9 receiver. In a league without PPR he is #7.

Yeah....but at the same time he's one decent game away from being in the top 5. I will reserve judgment at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantasyfreak Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 what were you expectiing? Sure, he's put up a lot of yards, but he's also had 4 (out of 10) games this year where he'd done little. He's supposed to be a start every week stud. Last year when he was healthy, he put up big numbers every game. I was expecting about 90 yds per game and a TD about every other game. I'm also looking ahead to his playoff schedule facing Tennesse and Oakland (w/Aso gaurding him). That spells future disappointment for me.

kpholmes Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I don't know how Reggie Wayne gets on the list. In my PPR league he is the # 8 receiver. a top 10 finish is the reason I draft a "stud", and he's in a group separated by 10 points from the #5 to the #9 receiver. In a league without PPR he is #7. +1 I own Wayne in almost every league. He's had one or two quieter games this season than usual, but overall he's a consistent Top 10 WR that helps carry my team. A name I would like to add though is Patrick Crayton. He was a fantastic low end WR2/high end WR3 option until Roy Williams came around.

Square Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I guess I don’t get the S. Smith complaints. I mean, “huge” disappointment? I have him in my main local (.5 ppr + bonus over 100 yards) and his scores since his suspension have been: 9, 18, 12, 16, 23, 27, bye, 0 (Oakland game), 7. Granted, the 7 and 0 are bad scores, but other than that…I can’t really complain for a guy I picked up at 4.2. I’d say he’s saved my season after taking Moss at 2.2. Smith would be 6th overall in my league if he kept his average and played the first two games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish247 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 This is, IMO, the tail end of the top 6 runs of Harrison, Moss, TO, Holt, and CJ. Until recently 2 or 3 of these WRs would be in the top 6 in back-to-back years. The new faces seem likely to be Wayne, Fitz, and/or Boldin. I can see Moss or CJ (if he lands with another team or bounces back) hanging on but the old-guard is definitely changing. Last year's top 12 (based on 1pt = 10 rec yds, 6pt = TD, no PPR)... Moss Edwards TO Wayne CJ Fitz Housh Colston Burress Marshall Welker Holt Jennings Current top 12... Boldin Fitz White Calvin J. Jennings AJ Wayne S.Moss Marshall Ward Bowe Housh Only 5 of 2007's top 12 are currently top 12. Only 1 of 2007's top 6 is currently top 6. Only 1 of 2007's top 7-12 is currently top 6. 1 of the current top 6 finished 2007 worse than 25. The other 3 current top 6 were all in 2007's 13 to 25 range. Wayne has a good shot at cracking the top 6. That will probably be 2 of last year's top 6 repeating from last year. This is about average. Difference is the names are changing and for various reasons. Harrison is showing his age. Holt is showing his age and playing on an abysmal team. CJ is/was injured and has had a backup QB. TO is on a downturn that may be due to age but more likely it has been QB issues. I don't recall DMD/The Huddle doing a repeatability series update this year but it might be something looked at this offseason or next.
