In an effort to find the severely undervalued player, I present to you Greg Jennings.
Let's just get straight to the point. Matt Cassel started 6 games for the Vikings last year during Christian Ponder's crash and burn. In another game against Bears, Cassel came in at halftime led the Vikes to victory.
In those 6.5 games, Greg Jennings produced the following numbers:
41/494/4.
I know it can be easily dismissed when us a FFers prorate numbers. But the 16 game proration with Cassel under center for Jennings would have been 101/1209/10.
I;m not saying he stands a chance at replicating that pace over 16 games. For one, his catch percentage with Cassel was an astounding 71%. So, I could see that decreasing. But he's currently going WR57. And it's not like he's over the hill, he's 31 (come 9/21). You won't build around the guy, but he's but 1 year into a huge FA deal and he performed pretty decently last year once he got adequate QB play.
WR's going ahead of Jennings?
Marcus Wheaton
Jarret Boykin
Cecil Shorts
Jordan Matthews
Tavon Austin
DeAndre Hopkins
Kenny Stills
This is not meant to disparage any of the WR's named above. Some have intriguing upside. But Jennings was not so long ago, an elite WR. Why has no one bought in?
