Will Ocho have a better Week 2? (1 Viewer)

[degenerate]

is anyone expecting a better effort stat wise for ocho this week against sd? due to an injury, i may have to plug him in. is he worth taking a chance or go with safer option?

 

[Ghost Rider]

I'd go with a safer option. His lack of production wasn't nearly as telling as his lack of playing time. I can't see starting him until he knows the offense better and gets on the field more. He could always grab a TD in his limited playing time, but he is too risky right now. Better to go safe until he becomes a regular part of the offense.

 

[Bri]

Look for him to step up in week 8

 

[Chaka]

Well he can't get much worse.

 

[th3f00l]

I don't think he could do much worse. I think you can add 3 catches for 25-30 onto last weeks performance. I wouldn't place him much higher than that though.

Jinx

 

[Run It Up]

Im starting Welker and Gronkowski, that being said I would still expect Ocho to put up 50-80 yds, 4-6 rec, 0.5 TDs

 

[Bulldawg]

Chaka is spot on.

Unless they inactivate him.

 

[Boston]

I wouldn't touch him until he has a game where he proves he's over the hump...right now he seems pretty clueless and if Brady has shown one thing over the years it's that he aint throwing to you if he doesn't trust you...there's also another potential x-factor this week and that's Taylor Price...he's been dinged but the Pats really like him...if he comes in and looks good he could actually jump over Ocho on the depth chart...

 

[massraider]

Heck yeah. I expect him to at least DOUBLE his output from last week.

 

[David Yudkin]

Technically 2-28-0 would be better, so yes. But still not fantasy worthy IMO.

 

[Irish Chaos]

Buy low candidate if he struggles again this week? Or are we avoiding him all together...?

Buy low but no ROI until the seond half of the season. You might be able to get him off the waiver wire soon enough.

I think the Pats are going to go out of their way to get him the ball this week because of the Brushi tweet scandal. Brady was defending Ocho and said he's been working his ### off since he got there.I still wouldn't start him though.

 

[Captain Hook]

He probably will since I dropped him this week

Really? You think the Pats are worried about what anyone says regarding their players; I think the Pats are more worried about winning. Just me I guess.

Buy low as in pick up out of free agency (where he is in all of my leagues right now)? I really don't think he is worth a roster spot. Maybe in deep leagues.

This is the pick that made me say to myself-what are you doing-as I drafted him. I give him this week to show that I wasn't wrong in drafting him, though I don't know why I'm doing that either. Not near being in the mix to start, just bench holder for me, so I just hope a few of my targeted guys are still available next waiver period if things go as I imagine.

 

[Otis]

Great buy low right now.

Yeah, this was my "major f--- up" pick this year too. Hopefully he wakes up and figures out how this offense runs.

I have to think opposing defenses are going to start keying in on the TEs and Ocho could start getting open. I can see him sneak in a TD this week with 40 yards receiving.
