What's up with Da'rick Rogers (2 Viewers)

When you have a QB like Luck and a weak OL, you should run 4 wide and let him find the open guy. Of course, you can't be like the Giants and run everyone 15 yards down the field with a weak OL. That ball was out in 2 seconds to Rogers. Of course they only have 3 WRs on the roster and a turd who thinks he's a WR. It's can however be 3 WR and Fleener.
They had been doing it backwards by going with more protection and less receivers.

Tough question. Will Reggie Wayne be healthy next year or does he retire? I am pretty sure DHB will not be offered a new contract and he may be done in the league. The Colts will bring in other WRs and draft some, so Rogers has to show well for the final games of this year and have a good off-season. I like his chances.

The difference is Marvin has been struggling to get snaps as a No. 2 for a couple years splitting with Sanu and playing in an offense where Green is the man.
The Colts have a vacuum where Wayne used to be that no WR has been able to fill. This situation is begging to be taken advantage of.

I don't imagine the defense was game-planning much for Rogers this week. Hilton gets all defense rollovers, and is struggling (like so many kids do) when they first face that challenge. If Rogers continues to excel, that will start to balance out. I suspect the capable HOU D this week will have a far greater interest in him than Cinci did going in. I can't read nearly enough through my flawed eye ball test to try and project how these two will compare facing focused coverage. Like most here, I think DR is a good dynasty stash as the physical strengths seems to be there and faces no huge roadblocks to a productive spot in a Luck offense.

I see 2 guys right now on his level. But remember he has already hit the jackpot as Luck is his QB. These guys coming in could end up with EJ Manuel or Geno or Ponder/whatever or Blaine Gabbert/whatever as their QB in 2014.

Think I'm playing him over Harry Douglas this week. I think with roddy back Harry's run is just about over.

beer is good
kind of what i was thinking too. i was offered a late first for him, but i'm thinking i'll hold for now.

Hilton had 2 monster games after Wayne went out. Vs Hous and Vs Stl.
after that defenses just blanketed him, Now with Luck havin to throw other places, and Fleener scaring no one, Darick made some plays vs Cincy. Maybe the coverage has to stay honest now and Hilton can make plays again too

Or maybe defenses continue to blanket Hilton and Rogers goes off again. Seriously tough call. Hard to predict.

There is no reason this shouldn't happen. Hilton should get back to some of those deep scores.

I'm this close to sit Cruz for Rogers.

I'm considering him over Hilton. Hard to pull the trigger though. I see two possibilities: defenses continue to make someone other than Hilton beat them and Rogers flourishes again, or defenses respect the emergence of Rogers and things open up for Hilton again. I guess the question is whether one week of production from Brazil and Rogers is enough to open things up for Hilton.
Another thing to consider is that Hilton has been dealing with a shoulder injury. He has been playing through it, but not productively. How much of an issue is the shoulder injury? The injury could have more to do with his lack of production than has been appreciated.

as for next year, any concern he gets crowded out with wayne and allen returning?

If Luck really is all that he projects to be he will have multiple targets just like the other top QBs out there now.

I don't see any reason where he wouldn't be the top guy even if Wayne comes back. With Hilton being a great complement to a WR1, and playing mostly slot in 3WR sets, he'll still have a whole off season with Luck and have everything to digest what's being taught to him. The biggest concern would be him doing something completely stupid in the off season which could lead to him getting cut. I don't think it's a question but Da'Rick was by far the biggest different maker for the Colts on Sunday. If anything, I'd expect him to help open things up more for Fleener and TY.

Folks, there are a lot of moving parts here to make any definite calls.
Where Rogers lands next year depends on:
How he finishes this year
If and to what level of performance Wayne
returns
Who is the OC and what does his offense look like
Who they bring in via FA and the draft
How does Rogers handle this off-season
This and more.

It's surprising because it's a deceptive statistic. They're ranked as one of the "toughest" pass defenses in the NFL because they've given up a deceivingly low amount of passing yardage, but they also have the least amount of pass attempts against them. Less passing attempts equals less yardage...so they look tough on paper when they're really not. HOU gave up 173 yards and 3 TDs to IND's receivers in week 9. Most of that was to Hilton...that was his biggest game of the year. Could be a big game for any of the IND WRs...my money's on a bounce-back game for Hilton, but Rogers has a good shot to be the guy that wrecks HOU this week, too. So don't count out Da'Rick.

yeah, but it's about field time
supposedly, pep is all about these 2 te sets that he should be able to roll out next year with allen back, and if you have 3 wr and don't play all that much 3 wide then somebody's getting shorted.
would wayne or hilton really be sitting for rogers in 2 wide formations?

At this point taking in to consideration Wayne's age/injury and Hiltons recent troubles.........maybe? I mean we really won't know until this off season when we see if Rogers is even still there. Plus the team can watch/evaluate how he does in these last three games. He has a real chance to shine and the match-ups aren't terrible. Couple that with him coming in during the off season and showing them that he wants to be there and maybe he pushes Hilton out of the starting line-up.

Have Garcon in a PPR league and considering Rogers. Also have Amendola but I don't trust him.

My WR3 options are Mike Wallace (vs Talib) and Boykin with another week of Flynn at QB. Both guys coming off 4 point games, multiple frustrations out of each this year--going to be hard to bench Rogers for either.

not sure if i have the peaches to put him in over garcon..
last week i tried to get cute and put the boom or bust guy in and ladrius green and it chewed up my ###.
would be considered that it could be the same thing this week with da'rick

Cousins will come out swinging and the rest will follow. Redskins pull the upset and Garcon has a big day.

more like the team quit cause they are sick of rgiii being treated like he is the king, while he blames everyone else when they lose,
expect a spirited effort with cousins at qb

I'm starting him as my WR3 in PPR. My only other options are Randle (Giants are a dumpster fire and are up against Seattle) and Burleson (hard to trust as Stafford spreads the ball around after Megatron). Rogers has the most potential to put up a big number, but I don't think he's any less safe than the other guys.

Just put him in over Cruz. Let's do this!
And with Brazill banged up, I see no reason to be shy about rolling with Rogers.

This part was interesting too:
Brazill hasn't practiced all week, so even if he plays, he figures to be limited. If he's out, whomever replaces him (presumably someone from the practice squad) will not get any meaningful snaps, and DHB has fallen completely out of favor. I'm no math major, but that leaves exactly two reliable WRs, and Luck has to throw to someone.

I'm getting talked into this. Just have to figure out which former flavor-of-the-week to start home over. Right now it's streater. Or Douglas. Or something.
I guess this is what make FF fun. Right? ?

I think they will roll coverage to Hilton just like any other team. However last time vs Houston, Indy fell way behind, not sure if that will happen again, although it seems to be Indy's MO

On 2 teams I have the same choice at WR#3- Steve Smiff vs a weak Jet pass defense or Da'Rick
Smith has no upside, yet to reach 70 yards this year but a sure bet for about 10ppr points.
If Brazill is out I think that raises Da'Rick's floor to near the level of Smith plus a good chance at major upside
For a lot of us it will be the choice of play it safe or roll the dice with Da'Rick
If Brazill is out I may roll the dice

Giving him serious consideration as my flex in PPR this week. It's a bit of a gamble, but not as big of one as many think.

Passed on Rogers - sticking with Hilton. Won't be surprised if Rogers has the better game, though.
