I'm with you my FFA/The Wire brother. I'm long Schaub this year. Drafting him in rounds 5-7 and have him in several keepers. I say he goes 13-14 games but gives you Top 5 stats during the period. I really like Walter this year as well. He's a poor man's Wes Welker.
They played all 16 last season and were good. If Duane Brown shows any sort of improvement they'll be fine. Houston's OL has come a long way.What's the story on the Houston O line? Any big improvements this year?
These two are nothing alike. Welker is smallish, works the underneath, and isn't a big play guy. Walter is very big (6'3"), lives on the outside, and is a big play threat. The only similarity is both are good route runners.As far as Schaub, I figure he's good for 4200 26/14, somewhere in that range, should he play all 16. That should have him pushing top 5, for sure. Tough to predict him going all 16 though.
They're also gritty, deceptively fast fan favorites with good hands.These two are nothing alike. Welker is smallish, works the underneath, and isn't a big play guy. Walter is very big (6'3"), lives on the outside, and is a big play threat. The only similarity is both are good route runners.
You and every other honk under the shining sun, apparently.I'm loving the combo of Schaub / Garrard.
I like that pairing too, but lately Garrard has been going earlier and earlier in my drafts. It appears more folks than I had expected are viewing Garrard as a "safe" option to be their starter(as the last team to take a starting QB, anyway). It's happened 2 out of the last 3 money league drafts I've finished over the past week and in the third, he was the first QB2 snagged. Be prepared to grab him a couple rounds earlier than you think you need to if you really want that duo. Signed,A guy who got Schaub, then got hosed on backups, and is now praying at the altar of the "God of Cheap Shots" to keep him injury free for at least a dozen games.On topic....if he plays all 16 he's top 5. Maybe "only" #4 or #5, but still top 5.

New Dynasty league:7.09 81. FUBAR Schaub, Matt HOU QB (QB #12)11.09 129. FUBAR Garrard, David JAC QB (QB #21)15.09 177. FUBAR Orton, Kyle DEN QB (QB #27)
I'm pretty sure they were only even brought up together because they're both white and have last names that start with a 'W'.

1 NY Jets - soft secondary2 @ Tennessee
I'm not going to take the time right now to refute individually, but IMO most of those teams you're calling soft are in the average band. Again, I do like the playoffs stretch.
me too. I'm looking at him (if I don't get Brady at 1.05) at 4.08, as I don't think Schaub makes it back to me in the 5th round (at 5.05).
I would also disagree with your soft secondary comments. Take the Jets...Revis and Lito Sheppard at the corners, Rhodes and Leonard at safety. I would venture to say that this D backfield is better than NE's at this point. Revis is near to being a shut down corner, while Sheppard did not play well last year in Philly, he has been a pro bowl CB before, and the safeties are more than solid. I think the mistake you make here is blaming some team's DB's for a pourous pass D when it was a lack of a good pass rush instead. Two of the 4 starters for the Jets are new to the roster. San Fran, StL and Seattle not gold mines for FF QB scoring either.
I see you're a homer, big surprise.
There is reason for optimism in NY this year and I do think the defense will be improved. But don't think Philly let Lito go for no reason. They are pretty good at judging talent on D. Once a pro-bowler isn't always a pro-bowler. And Andre will eat that little man for lunch. Lito 5'10" Andre 6'3".
Wurd. New coach and a new system, week one AT Houston? I think they'll blow coverage at least once.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious guys. I'm referring to their fantasy production, not WR style. We can address who is the better downfield blocker on another thread. Key point being look for Walter to be more consistent this year while matching last year's production hence poor man's Welker.These two are nothing alike.

break that down for us. How is the big play Walter who wil be a low level #2 or decent #3 is similar in production to a legit #1 in Welker?Walter is much more a poor man's Roddy White or Javon Walker when he was healthy. Even a Reggie Wayne.Thanks for pointing out the obvious guys. I'm referring to their fantasy production, not WR style. We can address who is the better downfield blocker on another thread.
