Just wondering what kind of upside this kid has in a dynasty league? He has Fitz, Breaston, Doucet all in front of him and then the other young guys Williams and Komar. Does Roberts enter 2011 as the #3 WR in Arizona? What WR would you compare him too?

Thanks

Right now he's being used mainly as a slot receiver and return man, but I think he has the potential to eventually become a starter on the outside. He's a fluid route runner with excellent change of direction and quickness. I have compared him to Eddie Royal and I think that's a reasonable "best case scenario" for Roberts. Both players are very similar except that Roberts is slightly bigger and Royal is slightly more explosive. I have no idea where he'll be on the depth chart next year. He fell behind Williams and Komar earlier in the season, but that doesn't mean he can't eventually pass them. I think he has as much potential as any WR on Arizona's roster besides Fitzgerald. I have acquired him on the cheap in numerous leagues because lots of his owners have already given up on him. I think he's a good stash candidate if you have the roster space. He got the first 2 catches of his career in week 5 before Arizona's bye. Hopefully that it will give him something to build on.

nice thanks for the response. I am in a deep league 53 man roster plus 10 man taxi IDP league. - so I have room to stash him
 
Lead Arizona today with 2 catches for 40 yards. He also lost a fumble on a punt return.

Not exactly a HoF day, but at least he's out there getting some snaps and making some catches. Apparently he started opposite Fitzgerald even though Komar, Doucet, and Jones were also active (Breaston and Williams were both out with injury). I take that as a minor endorsement from the coaching staff.

 
any chance he breaks out soon?

Andre Roberts was in Sunday’s game for 63 plays although the wide receiver wasn’t targeted on any of the Cards’ 30 pass attempts, a result that was “definitely frustrating,” he said.But as wide receivers coach John McNulty had pointed out, it might be the 60th play in which Roberts’ number was called.“Of course it is frustrating,” Roberts reiterated. “But you have to keep working hard with it.”Roberts is technically the team’s No. 2 receiver, but his nine receptions are fourth on the team, behind not only No. 1 Larry Fitzgerald (23) but tight end Todd Heap (13) and slot receiver Early Doucet (13). The Giants’ game was more of an outlier however; coming into the game Roberts had been targeted the second-most on the team, after Fitzgerald.Roberts hasn’t made the kind of impact catching the ball he would like, but offensive coordinator Mike Miller said Roberts is “in command of what he needs to do.”“He’s explosive and strong,” Miller said. “We send him into the box to block that eighth guy all the time, so from the standpoint of how we operate with the ‘Z’ receiver, he’s been able to do those things. He’s fast and he can stretch the field. Unfortunately this last game we just couldn’t get the ball to him, but the read dictated it go somewhere else.Roberts returns to Minnesota Sunday, where he scored his first NFL touchdown last season and the place where coach Ken Whisenhunt said Roberts “started to get it” as an NFL player.Roberts still needs build chemistry with quarterback Kevin Kolb too, but that’s in-progress, he said.“It’s definitely not as much as Larry but I would expect that, number one guy, got to his timing first,” Roberts said with a smile. “But it’s coming along.”
