Savage Beatings Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 What was Clifton's injury? Fear of the Vikings Front 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 What was Clifton's injury? A sprained ankle. It is getting better and he said he was almost ready yesterday. Not ready enough for Jared Allen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 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. OK, if Clifton comes back and the O-line is able to play where they are stronger, and with Green Bay playing the Lions after the bye, I will start Jennings yet again. If he can't come up with at least 5 catches, 80+ yards and a TD, he will be bench fodder indefinitely. You can't get a much better matchup than the Lions. I'd take 7 catches for 120 and no TD, since TDs are hard to predict, but the long ball TDs were his wheelhouse last year, and I drafted him specifically in my main local because we get bonus points for the long TDs. If he starts clicking, I am sitting pretty with Jennings, DeSean Jackson, and the new Steve Smith in that league (with Dwayne Bowe there for depth).

Yukon Cornelius 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. yup me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LayLow Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) 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. ummm...he had 2 good games and 2 bad games. If I get 100 yards or a TD from a Wr, I consider it a good game. Wr are up and down all year anyway. Jennings could be drafted in the 3rd round while others took R Moss, Fitz, AJ, etc 1st round early 2nd. I would sayTHEY are more BUST so far then Jennings.

half_hennessy Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 well at the moment in a dynasty league where I thought I was set on offense this season injuries and lack of productivity haven't killed me yet but my defense can't carry this mob all year round. At QB i was happy enough with McNabb, Hasselback but picked up Orton just in case in the end luckily. At RB I was always thin having Forte, Buckhalter, Fred Taylor and Mendenhall but i only need to start one. At WR I figured i was that strong it was ridiculous with Jennings, Roddy White, Anthony Gonzalez and Roy Williams oh how mistaken I was I currently am 3-1 and the highest scoring team in the league that is how dominant the defense I have has been (IDP) but it can't carry me all year at the moment I am on the verge of trying to get rid of a couple of players to maybe get Knox and Massaquoi up from my taxi squad even though I don't like playing rookie WRs at all.

Greg Jennings was taken on average in the middle of the 2nd round. He is still being taken in the middle of the second round according to ADP data... http://fantasyfootballcalculator.com/adp.php I drafted him and traded him after his first week...thank god Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbforbes Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 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. Or he traded with the chick who joined the league solely because her boyfriend is the Commissioner.

Obviously, that is why you can't depend on ADP as each draft is extremely different. either way was taken AFTER the other guys i named and NONE have done much better. Anything else?

Um.. you don't draft top WRS hoping for 100 yards "SOMETIMES" 2 catch for 100 yard.. is not comforting either.. that makes him a Hit or Miss long ball.. Bernard berrian type.. that you do not draft in the top 5...6...rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the above have circumstances that explain the slow starts. Be patient. Their talent we reward you.

LayLow Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Company of Heroes correct again Larry Fitzgerald (Ari - WR) 24.07 8 pts per game Andre Johnson (Hou - WR) 37.40 9 pts per game Randy Moss (NE - WR) 34.07 8.5 points per game Steve Smith (Car - WR) 15.93 5.33 points per game Calvin Johnson (Det - WR 33.00 8.25 points per game Reggie Wayne (Ind - WR) 50.60 12.65 points per game Greg Jennings (GB - WR) 30.00 7.5 points per game Roddy White (Atl - WR) 13.93 4.66 points per game Anquan Boldin (Ari - WR) 17.67 6 points per game Dwayne Bowe (KC - WR) 19.13 4.75 points per game (may have played 3 games) Marques Colston (NO - WR) 33.20 8.25 per game I don't know...but the difference between the #1 guy (fitz) and Jennings compared to where you could have drafted them makes Fitz more of a BUST for me.

jordanzs Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) In one of my leagues where I thought my team was set to dominate, I got AP with the 1st pick (he's been ok but nothing special), and on the 2nd/3rd round wrap-back, I picked Roddy White & Greg Jennings. Looked great on paper, but so far that team is a mediocre 2-2. Besides the offensive line problems, Green Bay is putting up the passing yards, but they're just not going to Jennings. The ball is going to Driver, and now to Finley, and Jordy Nelson. Randy Moss is still definitely the primary recipient of Brady's throws. Seems like the passes that do go to Jennings are intercepted or thrown over his head, etc. Edited October 7, 2009 by jordanzs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one was as impressed with Rodgers if not more than Favre last night considering the incredible differences between the O and D lines for both teams.

Hahaha yeah, it's all good! I have fun, even in defeat. It's just funny though how a team could looks so good before the season starts, and turn out otherwise. That team of mine should do better throughout the season, especially now that Pierre Thomas is Pierre Thomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROYALWITCHEESE Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 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. Good WRs can run more than go routes. Driver is closer to the total package as a WR than Jennings. Just because Jennings had a good season and a half, doesn't make him better than Driver. Actually, Driver was dealing with a neck issue for much of the time Jennings was blowing up. Now that he is healthy, order has been restored.

ROYALWITCHEESE Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yeah it does. 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. Hmm. A-Rod isn't having trouble getting anyone else the ball. In the 2 games I watched, he is not getting open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROYALWITCHEESE Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Jennings. 24th in yards. Tied for 86th in receptions. As of week 4, B U S T.
