alexgaddis Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I am getting very frustrated with this guy...every year we read about him breaking out and every year he disappaoints...I know Plummer is partly to blame but if you watched the game Monday Nite you saw a HUGH majority of ball sgoing to Rod "the ageless one"...

Big Talker Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 In the dynasty league I commish, I traded Lelie straight up for Rudi Johnson during the offseason (it was the other guy's idea, believe it or not). Not as completely crazy as it sounds since WRs get 1 pt/reception and we can start up to 4 WRs while only having to start 1 RB, but still. That said, I expect Lelie will come on later in the season. Not sure why, but the kid seems to be kind of erratic, plus Plummer doesn't seem to be throwing to him much right now. As soon as he has a great game, I'll be looking to pick him up.

giantsfan Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Okay let me say it again slowly. He sucks. Like you said every year...and every year he sucks. Is he good for a big play here and there? Yes, but he is NOT consistent and to me isn't even a weekly starter in a 12 team league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 rod smith is plummers favorite receiver and unless he gets hurt, i don't see that changing. that said, his performance should improve some - broncos don't have a ton of receiving options.

Avernus Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I'd dump Lelie after a game where he scores....and it'll happen...at some point... If anything...I think that #3 WR they have...#81 is better FWIW... less talent...more heart... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 He'll get there. If you watched the game you saw Plummer go for the money but inexplicably overthrow him (wide open) by about 10 feet. He's been getting plenty of looks actually. Wait for a shootout scenario or a comeback scenario and he'll blow up. Certainly not a great WR overall, but a good #3 or #4 in my opinion. I am thinking about benching him for Foster in my flex this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleW64 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 No waiting to see the end of this movie. Dropping him for Brandon Lloyd for my #3, at least he can catch and score. Why I drafted a football player named "Ashley" I'll never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phincle Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Every year I pick him up and every year he dissapoints ...too inconsistent to be worth having at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgaddis Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 I have had him in my keeper league since he was a rook...he shoes just enough to always stay on my roster but last night was awful to watch... I guess he goes to the bench until he can be traded for anything worth a darn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schleprock Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Until he scores a TD, he'll be on my bench. When (if?) he scores a TD, he'll gladly be shipped to someone else's bench in return for a Piece of String. Not that he's cost me any games, but he surely hasn't contributed to the effort either. I'll take my shot w/ Engram or Lloyd from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfin2000 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) I was watching the Carolina game Sunday and wondering why Delhomme's passes to Colbert seem to be completely off the mark while he always hits Steve Smith right on the hands or between the numbers. Then I was watching last night's game and wondering the same thing about Plummer, Lelie, and Rod Smith. I finally figured it out, but the answer should have been obvious: Lelie and Colbert aren't running their routes properly. Rod Smith and Steve Smith are.

The same can be said of Roy Williams ,Charlie Rogers and Mike Williams on my Lions and it drives me crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Good analysis tomfin, that probably has something to do with it. By that manner of thinking though, he does have the ability to improve. I'd rather have a guy with great natural ability who can learn the routes than vice versa. Lelie did get targeted a decent amount of times. Between the successful running plays, the one catch, the failed long bomb, and several other missed passes (for whatever reason), he's getting 8ish solid looks (didn't actually check that so forgive me if I am dead wrong). With his total yards he got me about 8 points - blah, but it's something. I would definately not drop him yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
