Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
This is not selective bust labeling its basic common sense.
What are you talking about? What does one have to do with the other? Gordon didn't get a pass from the NFL after his umpteenth violation of the substance abuse policy. Dez broke his foot and his QB broke his everything else.
Okay, probably not true but fine, so what in the world does Josh Gordon have to do with it?
gordon wishes he had the career Dez has. That's why he gets the pass
He's seeing plenty of passes. He averaged 8.8 targets per game before the season started. He's averaging 8.5 targets per game this year. His catch rate has dropped significantly from 62% before the season started to 45% for this season.
I'm not suggesting he's not a top 5 FF WR, but time and time again he's drafted as though he's the # 1 guy. He's never finished better than # 4 in PPR leagues, yet this past offseason he was ranked as the # 1 dynasty asset on DFL. Overrated.
There is a lot of truth to this.
Mmmmm. ok?
How dare you imply that Dez is not the best receiver in football. Get out of here you POS. GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!!!!
I love Gordon, check the thread it's true, but you gotta be on the field to compile stats.
I don't see it. If you finish top 5 three years in a row, which he has, then you are in contention for #1 every single year and should be drafted accordingly.
What you see as consistently top 5 (which isn't even true if we're talking PPR), I see as consistently not # 1. Give me Brown or OBJ any day of the week. Those guys have proven they can be the top dog; not just flirt with it.
It does for me.
I have no idea how you came to that conclusion. I don't draft using a crystal ball. However, now that Hopkins and Julio have proven they can put up top shelf points, they're certainly in the conversation next August along with Brown and OBJ. I think I still take Brown though.
Worse thing about that statement is claiming Sherman is a top CB this year.
That play was about as pathetic as you will see in football. Dez is the 1st guy who will kick & stomp around the sideline and get in people's face and this play gives he no credibility to ever call anyone out again.
So you draft overrated players every year just like people taking Dez. When you bank on your top pick being #1 you will come out disappointed 99%+ of the time.
You were able to get both these guys every year? So you had them both ranked #1 each year? Which one did you overrate each year? You predicted AB would double his output 3 years ago? You overrated Calvin last year way more than anyone did Dez.
Not only are your stats wrong, but now you're altering my argument. Let me make it easy for you.
You have a tough time understanding things, so I'm not going to waste any more time explaining it to you. Continue to use your top drafting spots to pick the 'safe' play where you have a high likelihood of only scoring VBD on a little more than half the teams in your league. That sounds like a great recipe for mediocrity.
Your words, not mine. 3 of 4 you were as wrong (or more so) than the guy that picked Dez every year.
At this point you're just trying to make yourself feel better about a crappy drafting strategy. I'd suggest you quit digging in your heels and learn from my wise words. You have to be sick of fighting for the last playoff spot year after year.
That applies to every other Stud Receiver in the NFL
