cow3r Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Anyone else surprised by his performance on his first game as a Ravens? He looked to be Joe Flaccos favorite WR, and he was breaking tackles like a champ! He did good in preseason but actually kept it up and put awesome numbers in week 1. Unfortunately for me I chose to start Ben Tate over Steve Smith for my Flex. Anyone else have him on your bench, or is he worth picking up on the waiver wire? I'm hoping he isn't just a 1 pump chump.

lexxmont Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I have him on my bench and can't decide whether to play him this week. It's at home v. a very weak Pittsburgh D, and the Ravens are REALLY light on RB talent so it'll be a heavy passing game, right?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XFlash Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 He is still available in my league. Problem is, last year he had a lot of targets, but it did not translate to consistent yds or scores. This year, it appears to have a lot of targets again, but he is a year older. You can hope he can keep up his week 1 pace, but the missed catches and/or drops are not going to help him. But if BAL cannot find a consistent RB, maybe he will come out ahead since Flacco will have to throw more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sausagekingchi Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Have him as a reserve as I started Calvin Johnson, Alshon Jeffery, and Pierre Garcon week one. I've also got Decker and Jennings as reserves and both performed well. I'll probably be adding Wheaton to my WR corps this week as well and then look to trade one of them down the line if my TE (Witten) continues to struggle.

Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Take away his 80 yard TD that the DB got played on and same old stats from last few years not buying it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dope man Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Don't be fooled, he has lost a few steps... All the anger and flair he brings to a game doesn't always translate to yards and Tds..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cow3r Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 It'll be a coin flip whether i start him game 2. The main reason I have hope for him is he's switched teams and the QB seems to like throwing to him. Granted he hasn't posted particularly awesome fantasy points in years past he may be worth my flex position especially in my 1pt PPR league if he keeps seeing 15 targets a game.

XFlash Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 still debating on picking him up. He is not the long ball option, but more of a possession WR this year (so says the BAL website), so it is possible he could be a decent WR4. I might wait to see one more game.

HowboutthemCowboys Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Take away his 80 yard TD that the DB got played on and same old stats from last few years not buying it Take away AJ Greens bomb td and he was 5 for 50 no tds I was at the game, Smith was open all day and Flacco missed him a few times. He did have a bad drop Im not saying he's gonna be a WR1. I do think he'll be a great WR3 or flex, maybe even a decent 2. Like ALL wrs though, he'll have some bad FF games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MothAudio Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 After watching the Baltimore game I picked him up. He looked good and Flacco wasn't bashful. Not cracking my starting line up but could be useful as a bye week / injury filler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
