Smackdown11 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I am in desperate need for a #3 WR. I have Randy Moss as my #1, DeShawn Jackson as my #2 and currently have Jeremy Maclin as #3. I do not like having two Eagles in my starting line-up in the same position. My choices (if I get them) are Malcom Floyd (SD) or Jabar Gafffney. I want to drop Maclin for one of them. I also have Jacoby Jacobs (HOU) and Mike Williams (TB) on the bench, but I like their upside. Who would you choose? Thanks in advance!

BearBroncos Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I think Floyd is the safer pickup, but Gaffney has the most potential upside. Just keep in mind, Denver drafted 2 pretty nice receivers this year. 1 with their very first pick. I also see Decker getting ALLOT of over the middle looks so Gaffney could be a phenom in weeks 1 through 3 and then BAM, nothing more than a marginal WR4 receiver.

WashingtonD Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I'm really surprised at all the love Jabar Gaffney is getting right now. Guy has a career year in his 8th season marked by a career game in the last game of the season 14/213 against KC and all the sudden he's a viable starter? I'm just not buying it. One I'd rather have Maclin in a PPR than either Floyd or Gaffney Two if I was going to drop Maclin for one of the other guys it would definitely be Floyd. Floyd has a better QB throwing him the ball, on a better offense, and is the unquestioned #1 receiver until Jackson returns (which I don't think he ever will to SDD). Now he's also a vet coming off of a career year, but the context around him is better. Best of Luck, WashD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maclin and Floyd could be set up for some really nice seasons, whereas Gaffney? I mean, who knows in Denver right now? I'd drop Jacoby Jones before I even considered dropping Maclin, because upside is still just that: upside. I can't even count the number of those guys that I ended up having to cut because I got them one year (or at least half a season) too early. When looking to drop someone, I look for the guy who could be likely to be sitting on waivers, should I want to try to pick him back up later... This won't happen with Maclin most likely, but as for upside guys in a redraft (I assume), a guy like Jones could likely be available if he gets off to a slow start, or has a bad stretch. Plus there's absolutely no chance that Jones is the #1 in HOU, barring an injury to AJ, whereas Floyd is the #1WR in a pass-happy offense, and Maclin could end up on top in Philly too. Drop Jones for Floyd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobwaa Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I would choose Floyd over Jones but not sure if Id drop Maclin to get him. I understand not wanting to start 2 Wrs from the same team but I would think you would be able to trade Maclin rather than just dropping him? I am also suprised at all the love Jones is getting.... crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also suprised at all the love Jones is getting.... crazy. I think because of the potential behind AJ. But, Walter received a nice little pay day this year, so there might be a hidden sleeper there somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
