I could be mistaken, but I dont think Ginn is in the slot. I think right now, he and Hagan are out wide, and Davonne Bess is in the slot.Regardless, I have been trying to get Ginn away from the owner in my league. I think he sill have a decent year and a solid career. He is not coming cheap though.
Yes he is the starter but when they goto 3 WR sets wouldnt it make the most sense to put him in the slot? Kind of like how the Seahawks use Engram
Yeah Ginn is the #1 wideout, especially with Earnest Wilford's fall down the depth chart. Hagan is the #2 opposite Ginn Jr. Rookie Davone Bess has a good shot at the starting slot job.
Your right, they'll definitely line up Ginn in the slot in some situations. He'll be doing a lot of work out wide as well though.
Welker is a couple of inches shorter than ginn and 10-15 lbs heavier- hes stocky (for a WR) and powerfull, Ginn is a speadster and would be foolish to run him over the middle ala Wes. Ginn should be at his best finding deep seams or on comeback passes when the DB gives him a big cushion.
I think its important to remember that Ted Ginn Jr. isn't the fastest learner, and I don't mean that in a malicious way. I've heard him say on occasion that it takes him a while to catch on to certain things... once he gets it, he excels.Whether or not he excels on this level remains to be seen, but I do think patience is the name of the game with Ginn... once he starts putting the pieces together he's going to be dangerous.
IMO hes more of a YAC guy than a deep threat.
yep thats what I am banking on. I drafted my WRs late in one league and he was my second taken. (CJ, Ginn, Rice, Hackett, Walker....yuk)
) and I think Ginn is a great value here. Most projections I see for Ginn have him around 55 catches, but I think he can get 70 easily with Pennington there. I would not rely on him as a starter, but I think Ginn will be as good as Bowe and other guys drafted higher this year.
Wrong. He can throw it deep and pretty nicely. His weak arm comes into play when he has a small window to zip it into or on a deep out or something like that. He never had a problem throwing it deep. Try to find some Santana Moss Jet highlights to see.
I don't know enough about Chad, but I know that most people used to criticize Tom Brady for his lack of arm strength too. Brady made the point that just because he doesnt wing it downfield, it doesnt mean he's got a weak arm. He said that in the NFL, EVERYONE has a strong arm. No NFL QB has a 'weak arm,' it's about the system you're in and picking the open guy.I'm going with Brady on this one. I know Chad has burned the Pats on some deep passes before.
That depends on how much you get for return yards.I'm in a league where return yards are 1/10 and what you said is definitely the case, but I've seen others where its 1/25 and it just bumps him up to WR2/3 range. You just need to do the math to see where that ranks him. 1,500 total return yards is a safe bet and he could top 1,800 this year.
I believe 1 point for 20 return yards is relatively standard...in that format let's say he gets 1500 total return yards. That's 75 points. Now let's say he gets 600 receiving yards (no ppr). Toss in 4 total touchdowns. I think those are very conservative numbers - would anyone disagree? Last year that would have ranked him as the #14 wr - just behind Holt. Going off Dodds' projections that would rank him as the #13 wr this season. If he catches 900+ yards as JGalligan and others are projecting? Top 5 season. I'm strongly considering trading Holt for Ginn in my league...
It also depends on what the receiving yardage points are. A 1:2 ratio or better and return yards will be VERY significant. 1:3 or worse and its just a consideration.
