I was laughing with you, not at youI'm a Skins fan, so hopefully you knew I was being sarcastic
A :goodpost: would have been more appropriate.

Well there's that
.Even if you want to play the "take away his two Philly 'revenge' games" card - what's so bad about "fringe WR2 numbers in ppr"?
The two big games he had against Philly weren't even his best game of the season. That came against Seattle.
Shutout

This is just a guy I never wanted a part of in FF because despite the solid games and sometimes those huge splash games, it seems like every single time you NEED him, he rolls out a 5.4 game.
In each of the past two years, it turns out, he's had 6 games like that (7 or fewer points) in each season. So he's sort of like the WR version of CK2k.
Rolling out clunkers in 40% of the FF games is not good, especially in relation to his price. But, in all fairness, he IS the kind of guy that if I just happened to find myself with him on a team (part of a trade or he unexpectedly fell much farther than he should), he is the kind of guy I would love to have for bye weeks or that one random week where you're just rolling dice to pull an upset because he CAN give you that game where he balances everything quickly with a big output.

People make way too much about this. In standard leagues, these guys also had at least 6 games of similar scoring to DJax;Nelson
Dez
E. Sanders
Julio
Maclin
Evens
Jeffery
Hilton
Tate
Hopkins
Benjamin
PPR hurts DJax more than other guys, but by and large WRs just don't score that consistently across the board.

I used to avoid him for this reason as well.jurb26 said:
I ended up trading for him last year to a guy who was desperate for a QB (Cutler).
If you have some other solid PPR receivers, you can still win when DeSean dips into single-digits.
And the games he blows up, you usually win.

I tend to think Cousins' arm is not great for DeSeans long-ball game... but considering the putrid RG3/Cousins/McCoy combo he had last year, it's not any worse, right?
Start him against the Eagles and no one else... he's a 2-start WR3.

for some reason I have a good feeling about DJax this season, and I have no idea why. I feel like he is a good value right now since he hasn't been playing preseason games. I know the Redskins are a mess right now but if the O-line can hold up, Cousins or RG3 are serviceable enough to get him the ball.

I think Cousins improves his chances of having a big year because he slings it. This gives Desean more chances to make big plays.

In high stakes, some of the leagues are scored based on total points where h2h record only matters if you are in first place. I feel better about him as my WR 4/Flex because he had 3 100 yard TD games with Cousins. If Cousins targets him a lot Desean could have a big year. Garcon can be drafted later though.
SaintsInDome2006

I agree. I was ticked I ended up with him in one of my drafts but now I suddenly feel hopeful. I feel ok with McCoy in there too. If they throw picks along the way so be it they will just be passing to dig themselves out.

Got him as my WR4 last night in the 8th....cant complain about that.

He finished 14 in my league last year with small bonuses for long touchdowns. He's not a hot new name and people don't think of Washington as a high powered passing offense, but Cousins is going to be throwing a lot. They'll try to run but will only be able to for so long. Jackson could be huge value. He was boom or bust last year but that doesn't mean he will be this year.

Not only does he sling it, but he also turns it over. IMO Desean and Peirre up, Alfred Morris down.

He gonna be ready for the opener?

I wonder if he realizes that he said he thinks someone can guard him. Twice.

Remember when this guy looked like a "deal"? What a non factor he has ended up being, is he probably cut after this year? Not producing and team not better.
Chip caught a lot of heat for this but clearly the right move.
MattFancy
Footballguy
Chip knew he would have a good 2014, but would get hurt in TC by falling into a sled and then injure his hammy early in the 1st quarter of Week 1? Does he also know the winning lottery numbers?

Pretty sure Eagles fans would be happy if he only knew whether Bradford could be a viable starting QB.

Wonder where this guy is three years out of the league. Bet it ain't pretty.
