FUBAR · Jun 8, 2008

Using FBG scoring, for 2007, including the NFL playoffs:

1. Name the top WR to score less than 12% of his points in one game

2. Name the top 3 WRs to score 12.5% or less of their points in one game

The first might be easy, but some of the others may surprise you.

total guess: marshall, holt, welker

Anonymous Internet User · Jun 8, 2008

i have no idea what the difference between your two questions is.

anyway, i'd say the top 3 most consistent WRs last year (without looking it up) were: Housh, Welker, and Jennings

ETA: i played in PPR leagues, which may slant things a bit

1. Name the top WR to score less than 12% of his points in one game2. Name the top 3 WRs to score 12.5% or less of their points in one gameI only found one WR to never score more than 12% of his total points for the year in one game. (FWIW, I didn't look beyond the top 20s - so there may be more, but the question is the top guy, so there's no room for debate); or to put it another way, his best game is less than 12% of his total points for the season. For the 2nd question, I found a few who were between 12.1-12.5%, still very consistent. I was quite surprised by one of them.

Non PPR, so it does make a difference. You have one right.

Cotchery, Welker and someone else who doesn't catch TDs.The only way you could be "consistent" is to never have a 2+ TD game.

0/2Amazingly, of the 3 - one had no 2 TD games, one had 1, and the 3rd had 2.

1. Plax

2. Housh, Wayne, Cotchery

FUBAR · Jun 9, 2008

FWIW...

In 2006...

1. His top game was > 17% due to his 3 TDs, if he had only scored 2, his best game would have been < 15% of his total (in 2005, his best game was 13.6% of his total, in 2004 < 12.7%)

2. One had a game with more than 20% of his total, but this shouldn't be the least bit surprising; the other had a game with 18.7% of his total.

So, the consistency from game to game during a year didn't always follow from the previous year, but the #1 guy is very consistent game to game and year to year.

Oh, and the answer to #2 includes #1 - so it's only two more WRs.

In the interest of adding an additional "clue", two of the three had the benefit of playing with elite QBs.

2. 2/3I was mildly surprised to see how consistent Wayne was last year, but also throughout his career, given his status behind Marvin at that time.His best game - week 1 vs. New Orleans was 23.5 points, or 11.1% of his 211.4 total, plus he had 4 other weeks over 20 points, while he had 10/17 weeks (incl. NFL playoffs) above 10 points and only 2 weeks under 7. For his career, he only has 2 games over 25 points, while in the last 2 years he has one under 5 - and Indy had already secured their playoff seed.Obviously, it helps to have a future HOF QB.

Can't be Housh--you eliminated him in post 25; which (based on post 39) means Jennings must be included; Marshall was eliminated in post 37; also in post 37, since Housh has been eliminated, Holt must be on the list

Good work *****

Jennings surprised me, a lot. I doubt he'll be close to that consistent next year, but it's a good sign when a 2nd year WR can produce top 20 stats AND be consistent doing it. I don't think people gave him enough respect. Again, having an elite QB helps - but most thought Driver was the consistent one.

Holt isn't a surprise at all, and Wayne is only a surprise because of how consistent he is.

kethnaab · Jun 10, 2008

wish I wuold've seen this one early enough. I had jennings last season, and he was incredibly consistent. He was good for 1 TD darn near every game. Nothing more, nothing less.

sholditch · Jun 10, 2008

I seriously doubt he repeats 12 receiving TDs with Rodgers.

santo71 · Jun 10, 2008

Really I don't think Jennings was all that consistent, not saying he was bad by any means, but just not as consistent as one may think when reading these numbers. From a points perspective, he was, but he got a big play once- maybe twice- per game inflating his overall numbers. It wasn't as though he was getting a ton of receptions, like Holt and Wayne, instead he was hitting a home run a game. With Rodgers at the helm, the WRs are gonna take a hit across the board, not because Rodgers is bad, but because young guys tend to focus in one dude a game and tend to not spread the ball around to a lot of guys (see Jay Cutler 2007.) Some weeks it will be Jennings, some it will be Driver, some Jones, some Finley, some Nelson, etc. In fact, I think Finley may get about the same amount of receptions that Jennings gets, but Jennings will smoke him in points due to the home run factor.

Bottom line, I wouldn't use last year's numbers as an indicator for Jennings. Holt and Wayne, yes, but not Jennings.

Yeah I do. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me like 1st and 2nd year starters pick one guy a game (a season?) and tend to "lock" onto him. They know they can trust him to make the catches. In my experience, you rarely see a young guy spreading the ball around to multiple receivers in a game.

None of that has anything to do with how consistent he was last year - you're right that it was due to one or two big plays per game, and it probably doesn't indicate his future consistency, I was just surprised to see how consistent he was last year.I agree that he won't be as consistent next year, given Rodger's inexperience, but I don't know if it has anything to do with focusing in on one player per game.

Interesting thread FUBAR. Jennings definitely surprised me and it surprised me that Marshall wasn't part of the 3.
