I think youd do very well grabbing MM late as your WR3. Great value this year. Has a QB who while inconsistent does have an occasional big game and throws a ton of deep balls. Plus MM is a nice redzone option.

80 rec, 1000 yds, 6 tds

Tough, over the middle guy. Won't be putting up any seasons like he did in '04 any time soon, though.

I see his targets going elsewhere (read: the younger WRs)

Disclaimer: I am an MM owner in a dynasty.I think this is about right with maybe a few more yards. Bernard Berrian might over take him as the bears #1 WR this year but this is kinda like watching a fight between two old people in walkers. There really is no clear winner and sometimes it is better just not too play. In other worlds - I would avoid this situation unless perhaps as a #3 WR on a larger league or maybe as a bye week fill in.Projection:52/775/6

Muhammad is entering his twelfth season and third in Chicago. He has had a few big seasons finishing number one in 04 and in the top twenty two other times. But, in Chicago, he has finished 37th and 30th. I see little hope in him finishing that high in 07. He enters the year at age 34 and that is not too old to have an awesome season, but he is surrounded by young players. Grossman (the guy everybody likes to say is still sort of a rookie LOL) is the other old hand at 27 entering his fifth season and hardly displays stability. The WR corp features Berrian 26, Mark Bradley 25, Devin Hester 24, and possibly Rashied Davis 28. There is also a new TE in town, Greg Olsen 22 to team with Desmond Clark, the geezer 30.

All of these guys (that make the team) will see some targets and Muhammad will see less. Similar to Berrian, Muhammad's success was wildly variable in 06. He also scored less than five points in eight games. He had four from five to ten, six from ten to fifteen, and only one above fifteen. And I think that it gets worse in 07. He has a low ADP of WR 46 and 131 overall, but it is appropriate.

Muhammad 90 targets 49 catches 637 yards (13.0 ypc) and 4 TDs
