Scorcher Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Picked him up and plugged him in. He had a good game! Did anyone else play him. He doesn't get many targets but seems to be pretty sure handed and makes the most of his catches. To me he has left Little in the dust. Thinking he might be the first rising WR ala Cruz, or Austin a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 He's been very impressive, glad they used that 2nd round pick in the supplemental draft for him. Massaquoi had never been that special, just the "best" that the Browns had. Little is more phsyical, and has talent, but the drops are killing him. He was drafted in our league (deep and CLE homers), so no chance to grab off waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 3 TDs in 2 games is pretty impressive. Especially noteworthy since he plays for the Browns. He was picked up and played against me this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Nice when you can get in on the ground floor of when a QB & WR just click. Every year I try to pick up one or two WRs that have a good game or two and have some opportunity. More times than not it doesn't pan out, but every now & then you get a Victor Cruz.

Scorcher Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) 3 TDs in 2 games is pretty impressive. Especially noteworthy since he plays for the Browns. He was picked up and played against me this week. As a Browns fan I am sure you are glad to see him emerge. I hope it continues. So far Weeden and Gordon seem to have some good chemistry going with Richardson in the mix they could be a fun team to watch.

I don't think I've ever had in pan out but this year I tend to be playing against these players every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Picked up and started both Gordon and Weeden cause of bye weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XFlash Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Picked up and started both Gordon and Weeden cause of bye weeks. I picked up Gordon last week, but will use him for J.Jone this week. Really debating doing the same with Weeden for Ryan bye week. Next best is Bradford STL or Fitzpatrick BUF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 One trick pony? Pierre Garcon clone(long TD or little else)? I've read a couple blurbs on him that he's not the best route runner and is still raw(which would explain the long TD catches and little else). At least he catches the ball when the pass is there and he's open, unlike Greg "there goes my touchdown" Little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had little college experience and even less NFL. Of course he's raw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people were rating Cruz this year, how much talk was there about his freaky touchdown plays that made him a one year wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Surprised I was able to snag him for $9 this morning. I get the boom/bust concerns and it is a PPR league, but still, he's head and shoulders the highest upside WR available on waivers at this point in the season.

darin3 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 In a silly little 8-team league (insert myriad of jokes) and grabbed him for this week as "our" (in a work league where I'm sharing a team with my department) 3rd WR. I figure with a solid Brandon Marshall and good-matchup V-Jax that we could roll the dice a bit on WR3. In standard and larger leagues, I'd definitely want him. The Browns are going to throw.

brg88tx Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 rollin with gordon over hartline in a flex spot. gordon's numbers are impressive over the last few games and he has an awesome matchup against the redskins pass defense.

XFlash Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hartline had that one awesome week, since then, eh..... Gordon at least get targets and is targed for the long bombs. Chances are greater for points with Gordon vs Hartline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
