Chief Dick Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 My number one receiver is Wayne, and I'm in a PPR league. OK, but which one do you have? What type of league is this? Redraft, keeper, etc... What are your starter requirements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSlydell Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Colston, redraft; 1QB, 2RB, 1WR/RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K, 1D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avernus Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I dunno...I have these two ranked right in the same ballpark.... it's like trading Fitz for AJ....it depends on your gut...

Asskickas Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I agree. Coin flip. It is a coin flip. Go with your gut. A good argument can be made for either guy. I think due to the offenses involved Colston has the higher upside and sadly the most risk due to recent missed games from injury. If you run the #s for the 3 yrs they've been in the league they are close. Jennings 43 games 178 catches 2844yds 24 tds Colston 41 games 215 catches 3000yds 24 tds So it comes down to a preference and a strong belief in modern medicine. If you're a lucky gambler then roll with Colston. If you have average luck go with Jennings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Muto Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I'd rather have Colston. Plays in a dome as opposed to friggid field in the winter. Also NO a pass happy team. Sure he is a risk because of injury but when he plays he has been great. Give me Colston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Looks like I'm in the minority here. And the weather card just does not factor Muto. Jennings played in the same weather last year....so I'm not getting your point. I'll take Jennings any day of the week over Colston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Muto Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 So when your playing your fantasy playoff games in weeks 14-17 whenever they are you wouldn't rather have a WR in a doom over a WR playing in the cold snow winter ? it is not a factor ? Really ? Just ask people who had Brady, Moss and Welker in 2007 about wheather not being a factor. They dominated their league then boom they get hammered in a snow storm in a playoff week and score like nothing and you could have gone 14-0 in regular season and it would meant nothing cause ur out in the playoffs.

So you would draft Colston over Brady/Moss/Welker as well? Point is, there is TOOOOO much wealth to spread around in NO's. Jennings is the go to WR. Driver is almost phased out and Grant is not what you would call a great receiving RB. Jermichael Finley is the only other person off the top of my head that will threaten any looks for Jennings. Can you say the same about NO's? Didn't you say..."Draft the best players and they will score the most points". Unless of course you think Colston is a better WR than Jennings.

True...but let us also not forget the injury history with Colston. A leg injury playing in all those artificial turf domes? Nah..I'll pass.

bpwallace49 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Jennings, but it is pretty close. Comes down to the knee surgery tipping the scales to Jennings versus Colston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 EXCEPT, if Jennings is the only option, he may see more double coverage than Colston will. Driver will be there and James Jones is playing well, Finley has been impressing in camp. There will be many options in this offense.

Didn't you say..."Draft the best players and they will score the most points". Unless of course you think Colston is a better WR than Jennings. Every person I know would draft Colston before Welker. Also if you happen to think the 2 WR's are relatively even , using one playing in a dome vs one outside in bad weather is a valid reason. Now you may enjoy dumping on Mr Muto ( we all do) but in this case I don't see a problem with his thinking. JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Point is, there is TOOOOO much wealth to spread around in NO's. Jennings is the go to WR. Driver is almost phased out and Grant is not what you would call a great receiving RB. Jermichael Finley is the only other person off the top of my head that will threaten any looks for Jennings. Can you say the same about NO's? Well, Jennings IS the go-to guy but Driver is still a solid contributor who will make teams pay if they don't account for him. There is solid depth there as well with 3rd-yr guy James Jones (who drops too many) and 2nd-yr man Jordy Nelson. But there isn't any other explosive threat at TE or RB - D Lee and 3rd down back B Jackson are competent receiving threats but not super-explosive (or perhaps even regular-explosive in Lee's case). Finley is a VERY intriguing prospect but so far he hasn't proven it in the regular season (not a knock, it's only his 2nd yr). GB's pass receivers as a whole (WR + TE + RB) are certainly a notch below NO's but it isn't as if there are NO other options besides Jennings there.
