Brentastic Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Watching the game last night, Hasselbeck looked his way a lot. Normally I would not touch a player that busted so early like he did, but could he actually have turned it around? I'm not sure why he never lived up to his hype coming out of USC, I only know that he flat out disappeared once he was drafted. There's no doubt that he is a physical specimen. Could his reunion with P. Carroll revive his career? I'll probably still avoid him but just curious what others think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puddy Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Amazing how many of the Lions recent picks are probably considered top 10-20 busts of all time. Charles Rogers, Mike Williams, Joey Harrington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damageinc Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Watching the 2 pre season games and seeing how Hassleback targeted him a bit I took him as my #6 WR ( start 3). last round of the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Itals Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I picked him up in my 16 team league. Right now he's problably anywhere from my 4th - 7th receiver, along with the likes of Malcolm Kelly and Dwayne Jarrett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I came away very impressed with him on Saturday. He's a massive target on a team full of undersized WR's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Everybody is still waiting to see how the Seahawks are going to use their WR's. So far, the depth chart has Housh at the X and Branch (gasp!) at the Z, with Butler and Tate in the slots. Williams has pretty much exclusively played X or Z. Hopefully he overtakes Branch. I'm sure they will draw up some plays to give Williams some chances early in the season, but I don't know how many catches he'll get in the flow of the offense. It is the WR spot, and there are always tons of injuries, but Williams might have a rough time getting extended playing time. Hopefully he'll make some big plays this season, but he might have a big handful of invisible weeks as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Here is the play he made against Green Bay. Apparently he had another good night against Minnesota. Right now he looks like the best WR on the team. I wouldn't be completely surprised if he is a starter come Week 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theprofessor Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) I've only missed two training camps practices and watched their pre-season games and Mike Williams is the best WR on the Seahawks roster. He has lost weight and he's focused. Let's hope he sustains the attitude and work ethic that he's been showing because the kid has unbelievable talent and the body for many red zone targets. I'm predicting a breakout year of 72/960/9. Edited August 31, 2010 by theprofessor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUMbotron Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 It seems inconceivable that Big Mike could actually be a fantasy force. But with his old coach Carroll befriending him, pushing him, well it just might happen. “He looks great,” Carroll said two weeks ago. “He’s not looked like this since maybe his sophomore year of college.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattsass Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I got him in WCOFF league 17th round and last pick in my keeper draft. You almost have to take a shot at his current price. He looks like the only potential "fear factor" in the Seahawks WR corps so could be a nice hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Is he definitely starting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattsass Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Is he definitely starting? No, but does it matter? Look at who is in front of him. Any difference makers? No. It is a long season. I won't be heartbroken if he doesn't line up for the first snap. The cream rises to the top. If he is as good as he has shown in the preseason it's just a matter of time.

It does matter in leagues where your reserve spots are low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattsass Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 It does matter in leagues where your reserve spots are low. I suppose. But I sure do like my draft pick of Williams compared to Michael Jenkins and Kevin Walter (the WRs taken after I took Williams in both drafts) If I am depending on Walters or Jenkins at some point in the season it is probably a lost cause. But if your rosters are 16 or less I can see how it wouldn't be such a slam dunk, where you might have to give up depth somewhere else. Just depends on your situation I suppose.

Seahawks21 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Unless the Seahawks cut Branch or Housh, and they very likely coud cut either or both, Williams will be strictly a backup and situational player. If Housh and Branch are both still on the roster come week 1, I think you can then expect Williams to have 25-30 catches at most. If one of them is cut, that number could triple. Regardless of how big of a name this guy is, he is a #5 WR on a bad team. Would you ever take the #5 WR on any other team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattsass Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 When talent meets opportunity, things happen. Yes, even a former bust like Williams can be resurrected under the right circumstances. Probably a wasted draft pick, but there are plenty of those from rounds 11-20. I'll take my chances on the 5th WR on this bad team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manofsteele Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Dude is looking like a BEAST in the pre season! I've taken him in a few leagues towards the late rounds. If nothing else, he'll catch on with another team if the Seahawks are blind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's 5th on the depth chart how come I've seen him in with the first team and Hasselbeck looking his way often? Serious question. Not many #5s taking 1st team reps that I've noticed.

delfamdelfam Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I like him but in a 16 round draft it's hard to draft a #3 WR on a team like the Seahawks, I'd much rather take my chances on Mike Thomas who is a #2 WR and will catch a lot of balls and be good in PPR leagues.

Serious question. Not many #5s taking 1st team reps that I've noticed. hes definitely not #5. hes #3 now and will most likely be #2 by first game.
