I have Tre'Quan rostered in one league. But I think he is probably in a long line of Saints receivers that I have rostered because of Drew Brees who have amounted to nothing. Devery Henderson and Robert Meachem come to mind. I can't believe I dropped Chris Godwin for Tre'Quan Smith. If DeSean is traded, I made a serious, and possibly predictable, mistake. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heehawks Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I am debating hard between him and Landry. Have Landry in right now, but may do the last second switch to Tre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, my team is WR heavy but Tate being traded to Philly puts a hit on my team because now I have Jeffery and Tate on bye. Time to dust off Smith at home vs. the Rams. Could be a shootout. I'm flexing him against A. Jones. Taking a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landry and Chubb should be must starts vs KC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could also end up with 2 receptions. Aaron Jones has a much higher floor. Aaron Jones has a higher ceiling, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegos Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 It’s Carson or Tre for me. Carson questionable tag makes me nervous. May pull the trigger with Quan whether Carson plays or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bier Meister Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) everything is risk/reward. a # 2 wr in nos is often a 4th option. brees will make a defense pay if they make a mistake by finding the open wr. if you have some other reliable studs you have to weigh your end goal.... sometimes that reliable 5/60 guys is what you need for the week. sometimes you have to swing for the fences and take the risk.

forever in debt to mo lewis Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 was really hoping to see more targets for the kid in a game like this...didnt happen....stinks....but hopefully that will change...ive hung on this long might as well stay the course...my receiving corps is made up of mostly tight ends so i need an upside receiver on a team like the saints.....

loaf Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I had Tevin in the Flex until yesterday morning...that's why I try to get outta the house early and not look at my lineups unless I'm checking on an injury 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I was lucky, well I still lost, but I was concerned that Carson would not play, and had no other options late so I swapped Coleman for him and got a huge game. Already lost due to the Bears doing all their scoring on defense and with Howard (instead of Trubisky and Cohen) and facing Ben / Joe Horn Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XFlash Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I still have hope for Smith as he is faster than Dez. Agree that Dez might take a couple games to assimilated to how NOS does things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith was never going to hold a lot of value this year anyway. Next year could be a different story, but I still think Meredith will end up factoring in as well. I read a report from a guy with inside info that said Meredith's problem is that he still can't get separation off the snap due to his knee. So once he's back to 100% he should start to get more playing time, but that may not even be this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Smith is very interesting and I own him on my dynasty team and a few redrafts. But projecting out his value beyond this season, have to wonder one thing. How long is 39-year-old Brees going to play? He is the same age that Peyton Manning retired. What if Brees reaches the Super Bowl and wins it? Amazing how long QBs play now. But they have to step aside at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree, but Brees is in much better condition physically at this point in his career than Manning was. I could see him playing at a high level for at least another 2 years if he wanted to. The big question is whether or not he gets another title. He's said that he would continue to play even if he did, but I don't know. Teddy Bridgewater sure isn't going to hang around that long and I really think they want him to replace Brees, even if it's while they groom a real replacement. And, no, that definitely won't be Taysom Hill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Cameron Meredith was placed on IR. Confirms what I'd thought and what the source was saying. Hopefully a long off-season will get him back into pre-injury form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know what your point is in posting this other than to try to say I'm wrong. All I'm doing it trying to pass along what info I have and give my thoughts. Take it or leave it, I couldn't care less. The fact of the matter is he is still not fully recovered from his injury, which helps explain his lack of production and is going in for another surgery. TreQuanSmith is still no more or no less valuable than he was before, regardless of the Dez signing and I still would not recommend any Saints WR not named Michael Thomas because they will likely lose more games for you than lightning striking exactly when you decide to start them. Personally speaking I prefer my WR3 or WR4 to be consistent producers, even if it's just 50-60 yds a game and the occasional TD. If you're looking for a WR like Smith to save your season by suddenly becoming a WR1 or WR2 then you've either done a poor job drafting or had really bad luck with injuries and you may as well chalk your season up as done because the Saints offense runs through Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara and barring a serious injury to either one of them that's not likely to change. As I said before, if you're in a dynasty league, next season may be a different story. Michael Thomas will be coming up in contract negotiations and Smith will have a full season and off-season to get more in tune and more involved. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
