Are any ATL WRs worth having? (1 Viewer)

Someone has to catch the rock in ATL. Without Vick, they will probably throw more, and Harrington prefers the WRs compared to TE. Seems like Jenkins may be a breakout candidate. I don't see Horn doing much because of his age, but Jenkins has talent and is still in his prime.

Any thoughts?

 
This year no. Next year if they are lucky enough to get Brohm, then yes. And they have a good shot at him. The best bet then will be Laurent Robinson followed by Jenkins. Roddy White blows.

 
Well, I picked up both James Jones and Boston, and I'm looking at who to pickup for Boston should he be suspended. Jenkins caught my eye, as well as Furrey.

Harrington sucks, yes, but Booker had a decent year with Harrington last year. I'm thinking Jenkins could do the same.

 
Atl WRs are more valuable without Vick, and probably more so in the next couple years when they get a real QB. Vick is the kiss of death to WRs.

I hear ya. I think Jenkins will do well this year.Also noticed we joined on the same date...yet you got a 3 digit number :goodposting:
 
Harrington is possibly the worst QB in the history of the NFL. The WRs in Atlanta suck, save for Joe Horn who is just old and on a new team with a terrible QB. I wouldn't draft any of the WRs there.

 
This is kinda like...

You have a team with a decent RB. He'll average 4.3 YPC. But they'll only run him 220x on the season and he'll get pulled at the goalline.

You have another team with an awful RB. He'll average 3.0 YPC. But they'll run him 300x on the season. He'll get goalline carries, but he gets stuffed on 85% of his attempts.

Which one do you want?

In essence, a match made in fantasy hell. :popcorn:

I like Robinson for NEXT year too.For this year I like White.All the websites I have checked have White moving up and ahead of Jenkins who is now the #3.

White is a failed drive waiting to happen. Worst hands on the team. Those sites are in the 'look at him now' category. No WR ever fixes their stone hands. White has stone hands.

He wont even be the worst starting qb this year
Worst QB in the history of the NFL to hold down a starting position for at least a year. I will grant that some flake that plays 5 games and is blown out of the NFL (Craig Krenzel) would be worse. Only QB I can see giving Harrington a run for his money this year would be Brodie Croyle.

Heath Shular would like to put his name in the hat for that title as would Ryan Leaf among others. Better yet a full 16 games, lets go with Kyle Boller.

All about equal in my mind.
 
You could also argue that Harrington is worse than Leaf/Shuler/Boller for the following reason: He has twice as many pass attempts as the next closest. It's less likely that his performances were a fluke compared to the other guys. He not only sucked, but sucked continously for 5 straight seasons. Plus he was over there with the chocolate and strawberries if you know what I mean.

The current team depth chart shows Jenkins as WR1 and Horn as WR2; backed up by Robinson and White. I think all four will see action and this offense is good for WRs if Harrington can play well at all. He will be better for WRs than Vick was, but how much? Still hard to know if any of these guys are worth owning and I would put their value all about the same.

Yes, Harrington is definately a standout when it comes to stringing together multiple sucky seasons. However, I give you THE WORST (or shall I say THE BEST) at that: David Carr. No QB in the history of the game has been able to deflect blame to others like this hack. Nothing is ever his fault. He has the unique ability to run out of bounds for a loss, generating a sack, that is blamed on the OL.
 
I'm continuing to target Dunn in every draft I'm involved in, provided I can get him at value...

Dunn is a much better receiver than recent stats with Atlanta indicate. For whatever reason, Mora and Vick relegated him to pretty much a non-factor in the passing game in recent years, but I think it's safe to say that was through no fault of his own...

...with a new coach and QB in town, (and a QB who is significantly less athetic and more conventional than Vick), winning with this group of personnel is going to require implementing a conservative, conventional scheme, and that means utilizing the RB's in the passing game on screens and dump-offs, and playing to the strengths of the personnel, and relying on savvy veterans with game experience. Dunn is the veteran leader of that offensive team. Even splitting time with Norwood, Snelling, Mughelli what have you, given these circumstances, I'm not sure how anyone can realistically predict Dunn to NOT catch less than 2 balls per game, which puts him at minimum 32 receptions. Due to the fact that the potential for time sharing reduces the chance he might get hurt, I personally think he's going to log closer to 48, and at the right draft position, I'm willing to bet on it.

Crumpler will get his too, if healthy. I think we'll see a pretty even spread among Horn, Jenkins, White, and Robinson, and none of them doing enough to merit rostering as anything more than bye-week filler, which to me means not spending a draft pick higher than 14th Rd in an 18 Rounder...I really don't think there's any hidden gold in the situation this year. I think that's going to be the result of Atl trying to find the right combinations for a significant part of the first half of the season. Personally, I'm looking elsewhere for value...just my two cents.

Glad you didn't exaggerate :thumbup: I would take Horn at WR4. Age, BFD - there are a number of old WRs in the NFL doing very well. No I wouldn't expect greatness but enough to justify a WR4 slot.

I dont think Jenkins will amount to anything this year, three straight years and he has shown noting short of 430 yard 7 TD season last year. Horn?I would take White as a 4th or 5th WR, with number three upside.Projections: 45 receptions, 15.5 yards avg and 700 yards - 5 TD's.Look for Horn and Jenkins Starting the season, with Jenkins quickly loosing his job to WhiteI think White will give you a couple of big games this year and a whole bunch of 1-3 catch games with 45 yards and zero TD's. Catches the Ball like TO in his early years, drops a lot - a lot of passes. But real fast and can stretch the Field. Petrino is gonna try to get Harrington to throw the ball down field for many plays this year, so thats why I think White has more short term value.I think Jenkins rides a lot of pine this year, average hands not fast or quick, marginal route runner.Would not suprise me if Laurent Robinson is the best Atlanta Wide out on the team by Midseason. I think he has as good of chance to be a 2006 first half Jennings or Colston lite, but he's still a rookie WR.
