Texan Hooters Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 with this offense in shambles what do you make of Patrick Crayton? I would think he has to put up at least 20 points a week untill some of these players get healthy. What say you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Alot will depend on his stats this Sunday. Rivers has stated that he trusts his skills. If Crayton does well he will get lots of opportunities to contribute during the next three weeks and maybe even beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Agent Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Crayton is good. He should have no problem throwing up points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I just heard that Buster Davis now has a hamstring pull. That leaves Crayton and someone off the practice squad to catch Philip's passes this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Crayton has made a career out of having 1 or 2 big games a year and mostly disappearing otherwise. If you're counting on him - uh well good luck w/that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're counting on him - uh well good luck w/that. Â The problem here is now defenses now who to target them selves. Crayton could see double coverage the entire game unless they get the running game going. If the running game blows, Crayton might get 70 yards at best. There is no other to take the pressure off or to open up the passing game. If Gates is in, then it's slightly different, but not allot.

I dont think he'll put up more then 20 unless gates is out this week, and if thats the case, then watch out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzac Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 20pts per games is a pretty wild expectation (unless you're getting 3 ppr). He's got a window of what - 3 games where he'll probably be the main guy? I don't know - he's disappointed hugely in the past when given opportunities (he's also shined at times) so I'm not sold that he's going to be all that great on a consistent basis.

Easy n Dirty Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Here's my patrick crayton story - back in 2007, when Crayton had put three decent games together for the Cowboys, I was negotiating with another owner for the must-have Heath Miller. Other owner wanted Crayton, but I cleverly put the franchise tag on him, and so my trading partner settled for the oft-injured Greg Jennings instead. The aftermath was predictable - first round playoff exit for me and a fantasy championship for the other guy, fueled largely by Jennings' contribution.

Hopefully now he understands how important it is to his ff owners that he produce high point totals on a consistent basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 he's disappointed hugely in the past when given opportunities Exactly. Which is why IMO he will continue to suck. Whatever warm bodies are in there to receive have at least as good of a chance if not better to shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjpro11 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) all SD does is throw the football.. everyone on SD who can catch a football other than Crayton is hurt.. they'll more than likely be playing from behind vs the Patriots. Rivers won't really have any choice other than to throw him the ball. i'm plugging him in this week and hoping for the best.

Capt. Stanky Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) After seeing Phillip Rivers perform at such a high level even without V-Jax, I'm a firm believer that someone will be valuable at WR for The Chargers this weekend. Crayton has as good a shot as any. I can't say past this weekend. I think the sneaky play here is Sproles. I would not be surprised to see him in the slot allot this weekend.

So do you think they are going to game plan for it? I think defenses will game plan for Crayton because there are no other WR to game plan for (thereby reducing that "20 points at least" unreasonable expectation). I think some of you have your expectations set WAAAAAY to high for Crayton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Speaking of which stuff, since you're a homer... why'd y'all let Jeremy Williams go? I like Seyi, but I thought JW was a better prospect. You're asking me to figure out why Norv makes the decisions he does? Good luck with that!

ajfalcone Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 yeah not sure I would even trust Crayton. Sure the opportunity is their and probably will be force fed the ball but honestly I cant see him getting much seperation from the Db's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan Hooters Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 I am going to play him. I don't have much of a choice anyhow C. Johnson and Reggie Wayne are on bye. if he gets 15 I would be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tastes Like More Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Crayton does have Rivers throwing to him...I think he has a good week. Who else does Rivers throw to this week? Rivers will get his numbers and Crayton will help him do just that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
