jordanzs Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Got him in 3 of my 5 leagues. Not looking like the stud go-to receiver that warranted being picked in the 2nd/3rd round. Or are is injuried hampering him from playing at less than 100%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 So far, I don't see how he can be viewed as anything but a bust. A total of 11 catches in 4 weeks ain't gonna cut it. Funny, but in my local, the order I drafted my WRs (Jennings, Bowe, DeSean Jackson, Steve Smith - NYG) is the exact opposite order of their value right now.

ROYALWITCHEESE Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Driver is clearly, still the better WR. Even at 34. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zekez Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 He's been on my bench since the 0 reception game. I play in a PPR, and 2 targets a game isn't gonna cut it. I wouldn't drop him, but until Rogers gets more time to throw Jennings will be only bye week filler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Most teams would force the ball at their go to guy....this does not happen with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let It Ride Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Rodgers gets career night and Jennings goes unnoticed thru 3 qtrs???????? He started out getting looks in first qtr. then the ligt bulb went out. Rodgers didnt even look his way. He needs more slants and underneath routes. BUT, it looks like other guys have taken that role and Jennings is delegated to just long routes. Which destroys Jennings value as GB's OL gives up sacks too much and Rodgers is forced to go with all underneath stuff, where Jennings is no longer. Oh the pain.....I needed 9 freakin' yards to win.

Double Agent Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Not a bust yet...but getting worried about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 After his 0 reception game, I was fortunate enough to trade him and LT for M Jones-Drew. Needless to say I've been getting hate "texts" from the owner I traded with. Oh well - I figured why not sell him while he's still got some sort of value.

kickureface Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 sounds like a lot of you did not watch. i think it was 8 sacks on rodgers. how is he going to get time to toss it to jennings on the routes that take longer which he specializes in? wait until colledge comes back healthy before making a conclusion first. hopefully someone replaces barbre too :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorcher Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Rodgers was rushed all night, the GB o-line did not protect like Minn. did. Rodgers has the accuracy and ability to throw the long ball, and Jennings has the speed and deep route ability. If Jennings doesn't do well the blame can be placed on the o-line for GB. They need to step up and give the other offensive players enough time to make plays. The talent is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAIDER209NATION Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Thank god i didnt trade Kevin Smith for Jennings when if was offered to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappadoc Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I have Jennings and I agree with a few of the guys above. It is nearly all the failure of the offensive line to protect Rogers long enough so Jennings can run his routes. Jennings and Rogers are both studs. But it doesn't matter if it is Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Brady or Rogers back there if you don't have protection....you can't throw the deep ball. Jennings has one of the highest ypc averages in the league over the past few years. When the O-line gets healthy in a few weeks...I am hoping Jennings will tear it up once again. Be patient boys!

Company of Heroes Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Driver is clearly, still the better WR. Even at 34. I'll take Jennings, thank you. Rodger's hasn't had time to hit Jennings on the deep routes. Driver is getting lots of short looks as a result. Don't think that makes him the better WR in real of fantasy football, though he will likely be more consistent, especially in PPR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You traded a WR with 8 catches thru three games and a hurt RB for MJD? I am guessing you have picutre of him and his mechanic which he doesn't want made public.

Randall Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 The Green Bay offensive line is a bust and that falls on Ted Thompson. He hates free agency even though his 2 big moves(Woodson and Chillar) worked out well. I don't get why he doesn't do more there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys, regardless of the reasons, Jennings is indeed a bust so far this year. OK, the O-line isn't protecting Rodgers so Jennings isn't getting the looks...I hear ya. That is a reason, yes, but Jennings lines at the end of the game are still going to be...bust-like until that problem is fixed. Play him at your peril...then again, I almost feel compelled to play him because he was a high pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelman Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 It doesn't matter WHY he's a bust. The bottom line is that he is not being fantasy productive. When talking fantasy... if he doesn't score because he sucks, because of his QB... or because of the O-line... if those things don't improve... he's a bust. I think the first half INT was a pass intended for Jennings... that might have done something to Rodger's decision making going forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 The last time I took a GBP WR as my #1 Javon Walker broke something in week 1. Now Jennings...I am sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 For the past 3 years, one of the most glaring weaknesses on the Vikings Defense has been their coverage of TE's coming across the middle. Teams would be insane not to game plan for this. The Packers did a pretty good job of exploiting that weakness but it comes at the expense of the long ball I guess. I wouldn't give up on Jennings just yet. Good teams have to find ways to get the ball into the hands of their best players. I guess we'll soon find out if Green Bay is a good team or not.

Clifton is almost healthy. With the bye he says he'll be back at LT. 3 offensive lineman had to shift when he went down. When he's back the whole offense should be better. Don't give up yet.

The QB has to get him the ball he can't do it alone. He isn't a bust if he isn't thrown the ball although it may seem so to those who don't understand the reason he isn't catching passes. That throw wasn't Jennings fault. Rogers threw it short right to Winfield. Look at the game. It happened at 11:47 of the 2nd quarter.
