jbran23 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) I literally gave him one more week before dropping him with the matchup against Houston in week 6. He has gotten me wins in 3-4 weeks since then. What an unbelievable turn around to his season. Hopefully he continues being a stud. I feel for the owners he dumped him just before he went on this tear. Edited November 22, 2010 by jbran23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billay Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Nope, although I didn't start him against Champ Bailey when he blew up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeductiveNun Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I gave up on him after last season when he was terrible and cost my team any chance at WR points week in and week out until he was suspended. I didn't go anywhere near him on draft day, nor did I entertain any of the trade offers owners sent to me where I would get Bowe for one of my RBs. Â And although he is playing well now, I have absolutely no regrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteteacher2001 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I traded him for Brandon Lloyd a month or so ago. I have Kyle Orton and wanted the hook up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbran23 Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Nope, although I didn't start him against Champ Bailey when he blew up. Â Neither did I. That was a mistake but not as big a mistake as dropping him earlier in the year. Â In a 14 team re-draft league I actually drafted Roddy White, Dwayne Bowe, and Hakeem Nicks in a league that starts 3 WR but I flipped Nicks hot start into a trade for Ray Rice. Also drafted TB Mike Williams as a sleeper later on. Not a bad draft at the WR slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I traded him last week for Moreno (and his juicy playoff schedule), and hope it doesn't bite me come playoff time. Didn't need his production this week, but I just have a sneaky feeling the best of this season for him has already happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peepinmofo Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I drafted him as a rookie in one league, and stuck with him. Glad I did. Aquired him in the offseason in another. Again, glad I did. He's always had the talent. Hopefully he continues as he has been playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyj2011 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 i traded him for blount last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brg88tx Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 the worst mistake i made all season was dropping him after his 4th consecutive worthless week after week 5. the LUCKY guy who picked him up is the leader in our league now.  here's what that pos did the first 5 weeks:  week 1: 1 catch for 13 yards  week 2: 4 catches for 45 yards  week 3: 2 catches for 61 yards and 1 td  week 4: bye week  week 5: 2 catches for 33 yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I did, but I'm not exactly sure when though....it feels like I had him for a while, but I have also not had him on my team for at least 4 weeks....I had to let him go after week 4 or 5 .... Â I think it was after he played Indy and got shut down...I gave up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I thought last year he was extremely over rated (top 10-15) so ever since he's been too expensive for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddahj Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I was drinking the Bowe kool-aid this preseason. For some reason, I was only able to get him in one league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Muto Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I thought I made a sly trade a few weeks ago with my team sitting at 5-2 as I "suckered" the other owner who was 2-5 into giving me Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne. All I had to give him was a "sell high" Bowe, Sanchez, Kitna, Keller and Addai  Everyone in my league was in an uproar........fast forward to this week  I sit now at 5-6 and he is 6-5.........

tcjon Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Nope. Started him and Calvin Johnson. Â Unfortunately I benched Steven Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I traded Andre Johnson for him, a 1st & Reggie Bush... also the FA cash that picked up Seyi Ajirotutu to put on my taxi squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Oh no I didn't. I only own him in one league and have started him all weeks but 1, mostly because of limited options. The one week I benched him was against Houston in week 6 ... since then he has been in my lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Traded for him in week 3 of my local dynasty... My misfit WR's of Bowe, Edwards, Britt, Johnson and now James Jones are outperforming my wildest expectations. Hopefully they can keep it up.

splotchman Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 No..i stubbornly started him in the first 2 weeks in a couple leagues and then sat on him for about a month until he got a bit more consistent...i even sat him for Steve Johnson last week when he had the 180+ yards and 2 TDs due to Champ Bailey b/c I still didn't trust him in a tougher matchup...this week i started him over steve johnson since little stevie burned me last week...

ljbrun Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Traded Bowe & Colston away as part of a multi-player deal in week 5. Now I've lost Nicks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantasyfreak Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Nope. Actually, the first week I started him was Week 5 against Houston because I thought even D. Bowe could score big against Houston. Kinda felt the same way about the next 5 opponents as well.  Jacksonville Buffalo Oakland (without Nnamdi) Denver Arizona  I do think he'll do well the rest of the way (but probably not quite the same pace) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajfalcone Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Dumped him for Steve Johnson on waivers week 2. No regrets either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Dumped him for Steve Johnson on waivers week 2. No regrets either. Â Gotta be some regrets that you didn't drop someone other than Bowe for Johnson, yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbforbes Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 the worst mistake i made all season was dropping him after his 4th consecutive worthless week after week 5. the LUCKY guy who picked him up is the leader in our league now. here's what that pos did the first 5 weeks:  week 1: 1 catch for 13 yards  week 2: 4 catches for 45 yards  week 3: 2 catches for 61 yards and 1 td  week 4: bye week  week 5: 2 catches for 33 yards  Same exact scenario here. The owner who picked him up was average before but he has not lost a game since. Of course, due to my own impatience, he's now in first place while I'm in third.
