Andre Johnson vs. Larry Fitzgerald (1 Viewer)

[Garts]

Who would you prefer and why??

I have a few guys perferring Johnson while I prefer Fitz.

No real reason other then consistency and more TDS on Fitz's side.

Thoughts?

Short term I might say Fitz. But with the current situations I like AJ's QB situation over the longer term much more than I like Arizona's.

They're so close you can't go wrong. Fitz is 2 years younger is maybe the biggest difference I see. Johnson has 4 games with less than 100 yards AND 0 tds.Fitzgerald has 3. I'd put them in some order of 1/2 right now, and probably Calvin a not terribly distant 3rd.

Fitz was fine with Leinart was he not?

Yeah, that bum favored Fitz over Boldin.

 

[Modog814]

I take AJ. He's put up the stats he does with musical chairs at QB the past 2 years. If Schaub stays healthy I easily take AJ.

 

[biggamer3]

I think if Boldin flees in the offseason Fitz's numbers go down, contrary to what many think

 

[JPeso]

I'll take Fitzgerald. Losing Warner will not be a problem as Fitzgerald will go back to option 1 with Leinart (assuming Boldin stays). If Boldin leaves, well, the Fitzgerald to A. Johnson gap would be even wider.

 

[FantasyTrader]

Calvin.

 

[gman74]

I am concerned with AJ's age 28 ish how long can he play at a high level 2 or 3 years?

 

[Burning Sensation]

I would glady take either, but with a gun to my head, i would take AJ. They are both great WR's, but i prefer Johnsons QB/supporting cast. The age gap closes the gap, but not enough to offset the supporting cast.

 

[Burning Sensation]

He turned 27 at the start of the season. That gives him at least 5 more years of his "prime".

Talking next season he will be 28 maybe 3-4 years then also taking into effect age to for injury's

 

[FUBAR]

AJ, Fitz, Calvin...

flips 3 sided coin...

AJ it is

They are only two years apart, so the age difference is that big of a factor to me. They both should be playing at a high level well into their 30's.

 

[Burning Sensation]

AJ, Fitz, Calvin...flips 3 sided coin...AJ it is

 

[Q-Bert]

Very close in my mind. My current WR rank:

Fitz

Calvin

AJ

Steve Smith

Boldin

Jennings

Marshall

Wayne

Roddy White

Randy Moss

TO

Bowe

Although TO is probably due for a significant drop.

 

[finito]

Agrreed, though I see Boldin as right there with them.

 

[Modog814]

I feel like AJ is one of those guys who you don't really get how good he is until you own him (I get a feeling that Calvin is like that too but I've never owned him so I'm not certain). From my experience it's a lot harder to pry AJ away from owners than Fitz

 

[Banger]

Give me the guy who's been healthier, scored more fantasy points every season and is 2 years younger. AJ is good but he's got more of an injury history.

6 superb years. Then he slows down. Harrison put up 12 TDs at age 34. No reason Andre can't.

Do you mean besides this year?

 

[The Man with the Plan]

Fantasy - Andre Johnson

RL - Larry Fitzgerald

 

[Tybeeman]

Fitz has been able to stay healthy so far in his young career. AJ is really really good, and the sky is the limit. You can't go wrong with either one IMO. Gun to my head I take Fitz.

 

[T. Bagger]

Had 'em both since they were rookies in my dynasty league.

Love 'em both, obviously.

Andre is a man among boys talent wise, although he suffered early by being saddled with Carr, the O-line of the Texans, plus the injury history.

Larry is a true pro with flypaper for hands and a nose for the end zone.

If I absolutely had to keep only one it'd be close, but I'd have to go with Fitz because of age, injury history, and the fact that the Cardinals can't run (for now, anyway)

As AJ proved, he's capable of truly monster numbers, but overall Fitz is probably more consistent (less likely to throw up a stinker).

 

[Gottabesweet]

I have both in a dynasty, should I shop either one? and what would you be looking for RB wise and WR wise for either?

No

Best advice you'll ever get.

 

[Sgt_Russia]

Asking this question after a week where AJ went for 200+ and Fitz was relatively quiet is going to skew the responses. Ask this same thing in the offseason, and you'll likely get less AJ responses.

 

[stevegamer]

Fitzgerald. This is AJ's healthy year - who knows if we'll see that again. Plus, he's older, and in a worse situation (offensive style, and look at the NFC West opponents for Fitz)

 

[Q-Bert]

No

They are elite players. Elite players are irreplaceable. Unless you get two elite players in return it is not worth it.

I love this argument.Before this season, Fitz has played a full 16 games in 2 of his 4 seasons, and AJ has played all 16 games in 3 of his 5 seasons.

Yea, I don't know where this whole injury myth is coming from. I assume it's some sort of weird side effect of him not reaching his potential with Carr at QB

Yeah, i believe people are confusing Injured and handicapped. Seriously though, when people post stuff like that, it shows they are not really that informed. As shown by this guy, who also thinks Fitz is in a better situation than AJ. At least he got the age thing right.Like i said before though, you cant go wrong with either guy. Along with CJ, these guys are easily in a class of their own. Its actually scary to think what CJ might do if the Lions ever get a real QB.

I don't, but that's probably because I have little patience for stupid arguments that aren't factually correct.ETA: Also, because I'm an admitted AJ addict.

 

[iSnitch]

I have AJ in my league...I've never owned Fitzgerald. You can't go wrong with either one. Whichever one you can acquire for a lower cost, that's the guy to take.

 

[DrJamesAndrews Fan]

I would personally take AJ, however they are close.

If i have learned one thing in dynasty leagues, its that a young stud WR is more valuable than anything else. Guys like Fitz and AJ are almost untradeable.

Shoot, I got AJ, Calvin, Marshall and Jennings in a dynasty and you couldn't pry any of them off my team.

In a PPR dynasty, stud WRs are downright valuable. I might shop one of these guys for a stud RB, but it would have to be a sweetheart deal. Johnson, Andre HOU WR Johnson, Calvin DET WRWhite, Roddy ATL WR Marshall, Brandon DEN WR

ditto....not even thinking about trading either. putting those 2 in the lineup every week is fun.

 

[Da Guru]

Before this year I would take Fitz in a heartbeat.

Wathcing AJ the last few weeks I never realized how explosive and strong he is. AJ is much like Fitz but faster.

With Warner getting old I may go with AJ.

Looking at it from a dynasty aspect, I think this is very wrong. Fitz' killer "situation" is at dusk. Andre's "situation" is just beginning to dawn.
