I am trying to figure out if there is any talent that is available in numerous leagues around the country that are worth a roster spot as they could have significant value later in the season. Who are the guys that can help propel you into the upper echelon of your league? Please note this is not a "who-do-I-pick-up" thread. I am just trying to figure out what are some of the fringe WR's that people are looking at. In some leagues these guys may or may not be available. Several of these player’s may be available in your league; who is that one WR that you need to get, NOW:
Antwaan Randle El: On CBS he jumped from a 25% ownership to 62% ownership in the last week due to his monster game. I believe he and Santana will be inconsistent but Santana will still be the man. However, maybe this is ARE's year to finally step up.
Shaun McDonald: Jumped from 1% to 33% ownership in CBS leagues. Will the 4th WR in this Lions offense finish the year with enough stats to deserve a spot? I wouldn’t think a 4th WR from any team deserves a fantasy roster spot unless you are in a very deep league. Is he the 4th WR for this team or does he have upside?
Patrick Crayton: Moved from 38% to 52%. I like him. My gut tells me that T. Glenn is done for the year and although he didn't produce much last week, he could finish strong.
Derrick Mason: Only moved from 47% to 55%. He had twelve targets last week. Is that a fluke? Maybe no one told DM that he isn't supposed to be the number one WR option in Baltimore anymore.
Dennis Northcutt: Only moved from 5% to 8% ownership despite getting nine targets. Will he finish as the number one WR in a questionable QB situation? Will their offensive coordinator figure out that this is a running team and that his play calling cost them a home-victory last week? What are Reggie Williams’ or Matt Jones’ outlook as they are only owned by 10% and 50% of the leagues right now?
Dwayne Bowe: At a minimum he has the next few weeks in the starting lineup due to Kennison's injury. He had seven targets last week. Normally I don't like rookie WR's. Normally I don't like rookie WR's who got into camp late. Normally I don't like rookie WR's, who get into camp late and are on a crappy team offensively dominated by an LT2-wannabe, with a shaky QB situation, and an aging offensive line. However, he has the skills. Is he worth a roster spot now? What will his end of year stats look like? When Eddie K comes back will Dwayne Bowe have shown enough to supplant Samie Parker permanently in the starting lineup?
Brandon Jones: Dropped from 51% to 42% ownership this past week. He only had three targets last week. Is any Titans receiver worthy of a spot this year? Will their passing game come around? Doesn’t someone on the Titans have to catch the ball?
Amani Toomer: AT jumped from 30% ownership to 51% ownership on CBS. He got eleven targets last week. I have been shying away from Giants this year just because I think they are trying to get a top-five draft pick. What does the year hold for the Giants offense? How does Eli finish out? Will Plastico play 16 games this year?
DJ Hackett: That wooshing sound you hear is this year's trendy WR draft pick dropping from 76% ownership to 44% ownership. If you have a spot, is he worth it to pick up and hold on to for 4-6 weeks until he comes back. When he does come back, will he be worthy of his pre-season hype?
Arnaz Battle: Jumped from 13% ownership to 27% ownership. He got nine targets last week. Will this fifth year wideout finally be someone worth a shot? Could he finish as this year's number one SF receiving option over DJax, V.D., or Frankie G?
Minnesota WR's: Bobby Wade, Troy Williamson, and Sidney Rice got 4, 4, and 3 targets respectively. They are also owned by 9%, 44%, and 7% of the CBS leagues. Could any of these guys be treasure in the trash heap?
Drew Carter: Jumped from 4% ownership to 29% ownership. He converted 3 targets into 3 receptions and 2 touchdowns and a whopping 29 yards receiving. Who will finish up as the number two WR for Carolina this year?
As an example, last year Marques Colston started the season with 4 receptions and a touchdown on 8 targets. Who do you think may end up being this year’s treasure?
