Scooby's Hubby Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Manningham only produced against the Cowboys when Hixon was knocked out of the game, SO, don't you think that with Hixon healthy that Manningham will get less plays? I started him last week against Dallas (and you always find a receiver to start against Dallas) and have been starting Steve Smith all year (PPR), so I am gonna keep going with Smith but not start Manningham while Hixon is healthy. Smith is becoming PPR gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby's Hubby Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 Yeah Yeah, but Pipp did get traded and still was an all-star. Hixson is good and Manningham is good. And the critics were worried about the Giants without Burress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith is becoming PPR gold. I agree with you in principle, but I think Nicks is the one that will become part of the rotation with Smith and Manningham and that Hixon will be the odd man out. There seems to be plenty to go around though and I think Manningham will still be a solid start most weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 If Manningham and Smith are entrenched as starters by the time the others come back, Nicks and Hixon will get the scraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Manningham only produced against the Cowboys when Hixon was knocked out of the game, SO, don't you think that with Hixon healthy that Manningham will get less plays? I started him last week against Dallas (and you always find a receiver to start against Dallas) and have been starting Steve Smith all year (PPR), so I am gonna keep going with Smith but not start Manningham while Hixon is healthy. Smith is becoming PPR gold. Hixon only had one catch in week 1 vs Manningham's 3 (and a TD). Manningham also appears to be a better wide receiver than Hixon (from what I've seen). Nicks is not a concern because him being a rookie combined with the time he's missing from injury will prevent him from progressing this year. I'm not predicting anything for Manningham this week - but come year's end, I'd be shocked if he doesn't exceed 800+ yards and 6+ TDs. Bottom line: Manningham > Hixon without question.

budlitebrad Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Manningham and Smith are going to be the starters. Hixon will probably get reps in 3WR sets, but Nicks will bump him out soon enough and Smith will go to the slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelman Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I personally don't see Smith having much more advantage over manningham as the slot WR.. they both can serve that purpose... both can go deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 For fantasy purposes - I would prefer to have S Smith over M Manningham on my team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 So we shouldn't be fooled by Manningham because of Hixon's track record? Got it. You can't lose your job due to injury, especially to a guy who hasn't done anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
