John Brown Hype Train- Not as bad of reach as I thought (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter loose circuits
- Start date
That's funny, I have the same decision and I'm leaning JB. I'm worried KC gets up big early and then its the Duke Johnson show.
I've got a feeling this Steelers/Ravens game may be high scoring. I hear you about Flacco . He usually gets up for the big games though
It's close either way. I definitely can't argue that Brown is a bad start. I'm fully prepared to be wrong.

I kind of wish I hadn't been right about this. The rule on Brown heading into yesterday was to start him if he was at home and/or a favorite. He had both going for him yesterday and crapped the bed. I'll still probably use him off the bye, but he's definitely reminded us that he has a low floor.

i own him in a couple leagues and will be benching him til further notice. he’s only had one double digit full ppr game in his last five contests. and has failed to top 28 yds in 3 of those games. he will probably have one or two more good games but predicting them maybe more frustrating than anything

Big fan of Smoke. Hoping for a big 2nd half of the season.

Rich at WR, in redraft, traded Smokey and Ridley for Sanders...
Damn shame. The schedule is absolutely delightful too after the bye. Was a buy low to me...until the Flacco/L. Jackson news hit.
Who knows...maybe L. Jackson lights the world on fire. I'm pretty fed up with BALT's lame offense under Flacco where he peppers three random TEs underneath and Snead all the time. Open the damn thing up already Harbaugh.

I’m flip flopping between him and Golden Tate in my last WR spot. I’d have more confidence in Tate if he’d have played more last week.

Such a tasty matchup vs the Bengals, but there is no way I can trust RG3 or Lamar chucking the ball to him on a consistent basis. Starting Lockett tonight instead.
Hilarious I was deciding between him and Lockett in my WR3. Lockett is in. And now I'm trying to decide between Brown or D. Martin in my flex.

in one 16 team dynasty have a bunch of players on bye (Breida, Chubb, Gordon, Kittle) and will probably have to start him. In another 16 teamer it is him or DJ Moore

The annual john brown sleeper/will break out conversations, lol. Oh he is a great deep threat, blah blah blah. Same crap everywhere he's been.

In his 1st 7 games of last year, he was averaging nearly 80 yards per game, he also had 4 TD's in that span.
He was pacing for 1280 and 9.
Flacco played the 1st 9 games. In those 9 games, Flacco averaged 273 yards per contest. In weeks 8/9, he averaged 199 yards per game.
He reportedly injured his hip in the opening series of the Pittsburgh game in week 9, so let's call that a wash.
If you count his bad game in week 8, Brown still averaged 73.25 yards per game and 0.5 TD/game over 8 contests, that extrapolates to 1172 and 8.
I'm not saying Allen is an elite QB, but he's a guy that can definitely push the ball down the field. If Brown can get a full 16 games of decent QB play, he can be a WR3. And his ADP is way way lower than that.

That sentence, while true, is an issue for me.
Just interviewed a guy that told me how all of his former employers saw tremendous value in him... very few people out there can do what he does... blah blah blah... yet somehow, this tremendously-talented guy never seems to stay in one place for more than 2-3 years.

I don't know what industry you're in, but in some lines of work that's the best way to receive raises equal to market value. Stagnating within the same company that will only bump your pay x amount is often a worse option than going elsewhere for more. You see it a lot in hospitals, for instance. Workers who show unearned loyalty to a single corporation are almost undoubtedly underpaid or being taken advantage of, in some lines of work.

He'll blow up eventually but he's been the model of consistency in leagues where I've needed it this year as my 4th WR. Never worry putting him in, and he looks great

That's crazy. Brown has been a top 20 WR all season and is one of the most consistent WRs you will find. Today's game will probably move him up into the top 15. For what you had to pay for him he is a golden #3 WR who produces like a top end #2.

More specifically, it was the first pass that traveled 30+ yards in the air that Allen has completed all year.

He had a good game Vs the Pats and in rough weather vs Philly. I also like the fast track.
