A few wrs I like and why I like them. (1 Viewer)

[Montana16]

These are 3 wrs that arent getting drafted high but I think can come through with big stats. You might read my projections and say "pfft he could never get that much." But first note that the common trend is that these guys have ALREADY put up numbers equal to or more than mine so saying they cannot get there is false. Have hope, this is the nfl, crazy stuff happens every year. Miles austin anyone?

1. Eddie royal- This guy is a 3rd yr wr who is the top option on his team. Hes already proven that he can have a big season and catch alot of balls doing it. no respect for this guy and is being treated like he has the plague. 85 1300 7

2 TJ houshmandzadeh- Down year but he played thru some nagging injuries and should be healthy. Another guy who has proven he can come thru for owners with a big year or at least catch a ton of balls. Seattle got better, why not? 95 1100 9

3. Santana Moss- He used to have a trend...he would have an up year then a down year. Then he just sort off fell off. Hes still talented and with a new qb comes practically a new team! He is a smaller speedster not unlike desean jackson and donovan might treat him just like his former speedy stud. 75 1300 6

You do realize there were only 4 guys who had 1300+ receiving yards last year? Not that these guys can't have good seasons, but projecting 1300 yards for Moss and Royal is a bit crazy. Anyways, Moss probably presents the highest upside with McNabb, assuming he's adept at catching balls thrown at his feet. Royal will obviously up his production from last year, but who knows if he'll recapture his rookie numbers. If Housh and Hasselbeck can stay healthy (or Whitehurst comes in and performs well), he could get near the numbers you have listed since he went for 79-911-3 while playing with broken ribs for 6 weeks last season.

I wouldn't jump the gun on these guys, but they do present good WR3 value(WR ADPs are 30, 32, and 38 in PPR atm).

I just completely disagree with each of the players listed. 1.Eddie Royal finished outside the top 100 wrs last year iirc. For him to put up those numbers would mean he would have to shatter miles austins newly set record of biggest differential from year to year. Still same QB as last year which is 2.I believe Ocho made TJ and not the other way around. Never really thought he was that great of a wr but maybe thats just something I convinced myself of. 3. as you stated santana always has been about speed. I just dont know how another year is going to affect his speed. 6 tds is definitely attainable but I think hell finish under 1100 yards easily.Itll be interesting to see how this plays out because we have such differing opinions but thank you for sharing yours and not just starting a standard debate of AP vs CJ

I can see all 3 of these guys having GOOD seasons..I'm not sure any of them will reach 1300 yards, or even 1100 yards for Housh..but they're all pretty talented WRs. E Royal - posted 91-980-5 in 08', put up 37-345-0 in 09' ..If I draft a Broncos WR, it will probably be Jabar Gaffney..he put up some huge numbers in the last 2 games last year(7-69-2 vs PHI and 14-213-0 vs KC). I do think Royal will do much better then he did in 09', but that won't be tough to do only posting 37 receptions for 345 yards. I've read where they have moved him to the slot, which I think he is better suited for..so his targets should go up. Marshall's targets have to go somewhere..so I could see Royal doing well.TJ Housh - this was a guy who cost me pretty big last season, I made a few early trades to get the guy and kept waiting for him to produce..and kept waiting. I had high expectations for him..so maybe I'm just apprehensive about trusting the guy again..but if he falls way down in the draft, I wouldn't mind grabbing him as my WR4. Seattle should be better offensively and Housh is a good redzone target. I see decent upside here, just scared off from last year I guess. S Moss - has only had over 1000 yards receiving once in the last 4 seasons(1044 yards in 08'). His TD totals in those 4 seasons were 6, 3, 6, 3 from 06'-09'. I think McNabb probably helps Moss..so I can see him getting back to 1050/6..but I don't know about much more than that. He seems like a good guy to have as a spot play though. Last year, Moss lit up Detroit for 10-178-1..and had 2-74-1 vs Tampa.

Eddie Royal-- He's bound to rebound from last year but I don't see those kind of numbers you mention. With no true #1 to take the heat off of him, he's not the type that can win catches in tight coverage and certainly does not have a Cutler type who's going to force feed him the ball. 60 --800 ---4 or 5 is all I see

Housh-- When I see Housh, I see a poor man's Herman Moore. Just like Moore, once he lost whatever "speed" he came into the league with, he turned into a 10 yards and a cloud of dust possession receiver. He may still throw up a gawdy 12 catch 170 performance once a year to inflate his numbers but he just cant do it on a game by game basis anymore IMO. 65 900 and 5-6 are the best case scenario IMO.

S. Moss-- I've never been a big fan because he's fantasy kryptonite. His inconsistencies are crippling to a FF team because you have a hard time benching him. Setting my prejudice aside, I think McNabb will be searching for his go to man and I believe that will be him and Cooley. A total upgrade at QB could mean some fantasy relevance to me. 75---1100---8 is a very real possibility.

 

[Shutout]

I like all of them to have better seasons than last year but none of them as lofty as you have in mind. Not that they can't do it; just that the situation has changed and opportunity is as much the equation as talent usually.

Royal-I don't disagree with anyone's take that he has the talent. I just don't trust the system he is in to provide it. It would not surprise me if he had no more than 40 catches this year. It wouldn't surprise me if he had 70-80. I can't see the 85/1300 combo at all though. Just mathematics alone would make that having to have royal among the top receivers YPC in the league and I don't think Denver is built that way.

Housh-Its easy to discount him because the Seahawks had SUCH a terrible year last year. But, with Carrol, and with everyone healthy, this isnt the Holmgren Hawks anymore. This team will have more balance than its had in 4 years and with other players also, I have to really think about 70 catches would be a top year for Housh.

Moss- I don't know enough about this one to comment. Will leave it to someone who does.

 

[34=Sweetness]

I'm pretty bullish on Santana Moss. McNabb is going to throw balls to someone there, and Moss is the only WR who has really put together any sort of NFL numbers.

 

[Jeff Haseley]

Keep in mind, Houshmandzadeh broke three ribs in the pre-season that affected him for 5-6 regular season games that he told nobody about. He also had a groin/stomach injury shortly after that, that turned out to be a sports hernia, that he only recently had surgery for in April. Combine all of that with learning a new offense and yet he still caught 79 passes. Wow! It's no wonder why he claims he's going to catch 100 balls this year. With so many quesion marks at the WR position for Seattle, I think he offers quite a bit of value for where he's being drafted. 80 catches seems almost a no-brainer.

You do realize there were only 4 guys who had 1300+ receiving yards last year? Not that these guys can't have good seasons, but projecting 1300 yards for Moss and Royal is a bit crazy. Anyways, Moss probably presents the highest upside with McNabb, assuming he's adept at catching balls thrown at his feet. Royal will obviously up his production from last year, but who knows if he'll recapture his rookie numbers. If Housh and Hasselbeck can stay healthy (or Whitehurst comes in and performs well), he could get near the numbers you have listed since he went for 79-911-3 while playing with broken ribs for 6 weeks last season.I wouldn't jump the gun on these guys, but they do present good WR3 value(WR ADPs are 30, 32, and 38 in PPR atm).

I agree my yardage totals are rediculous. I guess im just trying to catch lightning in a bottle and say one of these 3 guys will be a top 5-7 wr. Its always easiest to dismiss lofty projections and im not saying these guys are a lock. But im going for a rediculous outcome because rediculous stuff happens every year. especially housh. TDs are lucky and streaky, its touches and yardage that catches my eye.

Good call, thats a popular one and I have to catch myself all the time!
